    +6? -1.5 everywhere. You must have paid an insane amount of juice.

    Making sure you basically have lakers ML.

    Nice bet.

    Although i do find it funny that people believe " you only pay juice when you lose". Truth is you only pay juice when you win.

That $10 is "paid" when you take the bet, winning or losing is irrelevant.

    It's theoretical math type stuff. I kind of understand it. And have accepted it, because people much more mathmatically gifted, and sharper than me have said so.

    If you bet a -1000 favorite on the ML and it wins. You are paying 10/1 Juice. You wagered 1,000 and your only getting 100 back. You paid that juice.

    When you loose. You wagered 1,000 and you lost 1,000. The line is irrelevant. It could have been -65,000 or +10,000. You lost you wager amount and no juice was paid/given on your wager.

    Of course i realize where your comming from. If you believe a wager is a lock the juice your paying is irrelevant but your still paying it on all your wins. If you were paying no juice you would receive winnings that matched your wager amount.

    I see both viewpoints. They are both valid. A -120 bet that wins consistently is a lot better than an even bet that doesn't.

    Agree... pickawinner... I would rather bet a minus 115 that wins 6 out of 10 times that should be minus 105 ... that is considered minus even... then a team who is plus 115 that should be even that wins 4 out of 10 times and is considered plus even.... every person is gonna consider things differently

    Its a easier example from a sportsbooks standpoint.

    Lets say player 1 bets on a -1000 favorite
    player 2 bets on a different -1000 favorite

    Player 1 wager is lost. The sportsbook then pays him 1100. Hes only collecting 1100 and not 2,000 because he paid that price to place the wager.

    Ebb its not a opinion thing whether the line is -101 -150, -200, -80000 or -10000000 the winner of the wager is the one who pays the juice. The loser simply loses his risk amount.

    I considered trying to chase my loses on game 5 and 6 with a CC deposit/bet. Refrained from doing it. I hope the lakers get smoked in the next matchup! (nothing to do with betting) Watching KOBE makes me SICK. I'm not a fan of ANY sports team, just love betting.
