    What is Wrong with this ticket

    Last Sunday I placed a bet on what I thought was Minnesota. I was originally going to go with a ML bet but the line was just not there. I thought I ended up taking MN -6 at +262.

    The book graded the below ticket as a loss. They said I was on St. Louis. Issue really is the ticket does not say who I am on. Did I take St Louis by mistake when I thought I was on Minnesota?

    The line of +262 in my mind clearly says Minnesota. Call me stupid for the bet but I don't see how St Louis would of paid +262 for -6. Maybe I'm wrong. The book says I'm wrong but I thought I'd ask around here and get some input.

    Bet is St. Louis. Next time, change your odds back to American (you know, -110, + 105 etc) if you're not familiar with decimals.

    2.00 = even
    2.05 = +105
    2.10 = +110
    2.62 = + 162

    You had Rams -6 +162. Minny -6 would have paid a lot more.

    $524 was your TOTAL PAYOUT, including your initial $200. You bet $200 to WIN $324.
