    Who has the answer ?

    I have been part of forums for about 6 weeks,and been cappin for a long time. What I dont / cannot figure out is this; everybody talks about sides , totals , parlays and teasers but no one,except my self ever mentions the use of REVERSES.! And I cannot figure out why. Anyone please.

    Why would you use a reverse bet?
    If the second bet that is part of a reverse has a positive expectation, does it suddenly have a negative expectation if the first part loses?

    The 1st and 2nd part both have positive expectation,or else I would not bet them.

    Then why would you want the 2nd part canceled if the first part loses?

    Maybe I am not clear, when I say a reverse bet it is actually a If and reverse. ex.team A if team B AND team B if team A.

    There's plenty of that going around. If it isn't mentioned here it's for good reason. This is the worst place to discuss angles that work, because the whole offshore betting industry is reading along. So it is better to stick to generalities.

    I don't think there is.

    A parlay works better if there is a corelation, and they will get just as pissed at you for an IF bet as they will for a corelated one.

    Reverse wagers are just another sucker play. The odds are rediculous. you are giving away money if you split. If you wager $100.00 and split,you lose $110.00, instand of the $10.00 you would have lost on two straight wagers. Unlike a parlay wager or teaser,if you lose BOTH games, you lose $220.00, not just your original play. While the 4/1 odds for hitting both games are better than the legitimate 3/1 odds, reverse wagers give the book an additional 6.8% edge over straight wagers. Once again, the books have devised a system to sucker players with a nice payoff IF you win, but huge losses IF you lose so much as one game.
