Betting tips

[BigV]

On a bet of 3 games, depending on where you play it, the pay-out would be 7/1
in the case that the game ends exatcly at the .0 that the spread offers, all bets for that game are off, the other two games on our ticket are still a gamble, if you lose one of them, you lose your bet, if you win them both, instead of 7/1, you collect 3/1...i repeat, those odds differ depending on where you've bet, i believe the lowest odds given would be, instead of 5/1, you'd get 2/1.

And we were doing so well.... what the heck did you just say? pretend I don't know about it, cause I don't.

a "bet"--just one game, win/lose, right? I grasp the point spread (x,y) concept now. I thought I understood bet too, but clearly I don't.

I think I also get p/q--the ratio of winnings to bets, right?

I don't know why they keep posting the Maple leafs as the favorites.
They travel to Boston, and the Bruins win pays 1,90.

There's one undefeated team in the NHL still, and its no coincedence that its Anaheim, I say they'll remain so for quite some time, their defence is too good with Chris and scott, but its not just them, there's the two irishmen who are playing their roles perfectly. And what can one say about Giguere and Bryzgalov, ok, so they have a lot of help, but they are both amazing tenders.
Anaheim's win in Vancouver tonight pays 1,85, and its a good bet.

I read post #28 with very little enlightenment. Sorry.

So now, what's the "spread" difference between the boston/toronto game listed above and the anaheim/vancouver game? Nothing, right?

[W.HI.P]

I'll IM you a thorough annalyses

[BigV]

I mean, what's the difference between having to win by more than 1.90 goals versus having to win by more than 1.85 goals? Or am I off track?

[W.HI.P]

1,90 and 1,85 is the payout on the dollar, and please, can we continue this conversation via Instant message

I know its pushing it, you'd figure if Anaheim is gonna lose a game this year, it would probably come in Calgary or something like that, but I can't even imagine this team loosing, not when their playing like this.
The other 3 games, look easy to me Detroit is really good, Columbus is really bad, probably the worst, and well, Ottawa's record at the end of the year will be above .600, so they're gona have to start winning.

College Football
*~*~*~*~*~*

Auburn at home against Georgia.
This is a lot closer than it looks, Georgia will stop this Auburn offence.
...and just imagine how easy this -13,5 point spread will be if Georgia score a touchdown or two.

Texas A&M at home against Nebraska.
Lets not fool ourselves here, Texas A&M won some predictable matches, even as underdogs, you could see it coming, but Hello!! Nebraska's coming here with purpose, and I can't see how Texas A&M can stop them, and to top all that Nebraska are -1,5 point underdogs?

Arkansas at home against Tennessee.
You know, Tennessee may actually be a better team than Arkansas, but they certainly do show their good faces at home...but their not at home this week.
Arkansas is. I'll take the home side here, even with the 5,5 point spread

In the results, let me corect that Ottawa 0-3 Calgary one.
It was Anaheim that lost to Calgary, not Ottawa.
Their first one at that. There won't too many of those this year.
Some would say that it was the Bryzgalov start, but i don't agree.

Holy crap dude, you are gonna be able to retire on this week! I was just checking it because the Eagles crushed, and San Diego just went up by 8 and stopped the Bengals from scoring from the 15 with 40 seconds left, maintaining the spread victory. Am I wrong or are you 8-0 on college and pro football so far?

[W.HI.P]

No, you're right, and with Dallas it'll be 9-0, its really a good weekend!

[W.HI.P]

Its not just that though, if you check the comments on page 3 , the tips i didn't give, you'd see that I'm also pushing for Clevland, Tennessee, Buffalo, the 49ers and the Raiders!

[W.HI.P]

I'd be like 14-0

For those of you who are high rollers.
looking to make some sure money, large bet, long term.
Iv'e alredy given the Chargers to win their division in the NFL,
but there's a bet out there that is very safe.

The English Premiership.
Its a good time, Chelsea's main threat "Liverpool" is out of contention.
Leaving a rebuilding Man Utd team as the only threat.
I've had this conversation with so many people, and I know both teams inside out. There is no competition, Chelsea will win it by at least 15 points, and nothing can stop that from happening.
Today's false reality offers you 1,66 on Chelsea, and if you have enough money to wager, IMO, its the surest thing out there at that price.
That is if you can wait till spring to get paid.
