if he wins can you pay him or did last weeks profits go to the windows yesterday?

gales0678 03-28-2010 01:28 PM

wow 32 points in the 1st 5 minutes!

philcski 03-28-2010 01:28 PM

This is unfvckin believable. 12-14 and 6-6 from 3 in the first 5 minutes... they have scored on every possession so far.

You need to educate me on what it means to 'reverse' them?

100 reverse pays 4-1 if u win both
u split, u loose 120, see how that works? U bet 2 games 100 each and split u only drop 10 bucks.... If you loose both, its 220. You crush it if you win, but if you split that sucks.
Not just 100 reverse, any reverse pays 4-1

Wouldn't it be 320?

100 Win Team A
100 win Team B
100 reverse

no... its 4-1. Thats how the main bookie around here does it, and thats how I have to do it to this guy, since he thinks im laying his bets off. think about it 100 win a, wins 200 win b wins equalls 400, almost like parlay

So the reverse costs nothing?

I'm obviously not understanding.

If you bet two games for 100 normally, you win both you are up 200, if you split, you are down $10, if you lose both you are down 220.

a reverse is a double "if" bet

team a and teamb

you make a $100 reverse , you have 2 "bets"

team a if to team b

and

team b if to team a

if both win you can see you win $400

if 1 wins and 1 losses you lose - $120

if both lose you lose $220

Ok, so if you have two straight 100$ bets and this $100 reverse bet, your total risk is $440?

no - you could win $600

RISK..

I understand that if you win both straight bets then you are +600, but if you lose both straight bets, you are down $440....

This correct?

yes

playing 2 games straight and then adding them in a two team reverse is un-necessary

just play the reverse

Coach Pants 03-28-2010 03:31 PM

This is going to be the worst final four ever.

philcski 03-28-2010 03:36 PM

Baylor +5 165/150

Coach Pants 03-28-2010 03:39 PM

Saying Izzo is a good coach is noan indictment on Pearl.

Izzo will go down as one of the best ever in my opinion. He is the best coach in the game right now in my opinion.

Agreed.

I still hate Michigan State.

I'd make the FF line Butler -1/129

probably is , but , he didn't outcoach pearl today

u had a kid on tenn that threw up 2 air balls on ft attempts , i'm sure they have tried to help the kid , he just doesn't have it on the ft line , pearl had his arm around him as they left the court



but i didn't see any big coaching edge today here , tenn was favored by 2 , their best player got a 3rd foul and msu went on a run and took a 5 pt lead , stuff happens in the game to change the dynamics , pearl was not out-coached today

msu shot 80% (not counting the last miss as it was int.) tenn shot 67% - that is the difference - players making ft's

philcski 03-28-2010 03:56 PM

Looks like they just put it up...
Butler -1.5/125.5

I would LOVVVVVVVVVVVE TO SEE DUKE WIN, I think they would be small favorite over W. Virginia and I LOVE W. Virgina

Cannon Shell 03-28-2010 04:27 PM

Izzos teams are very well coached. A teams execution is far more important than any coaching moves. Well coached teams execute at a higher level. That defines Mich State under Izzo.

Draymond Green played a great game today. Morgan's gonna get the press for hitting the FT, but Green set it up.

phystech 03-28-2010 05:01 PM

I'm still not over Sparty beating Maryland but a Baylor win over Puke would go a long way to relieving my pain.....
