Should of bet 10k rather than 500

**Illusion** · 01-16-06, 04:46 PM

That's a pretty good bet especially since Indy is out.

**moses millsap** · 01-16-06, 04:53 PM

At what sportsbook did you place that wager?

**imgv94** · 01-16-06, 04:55 PM

Carib

+10 Looks great. but wanted to bet more but didn't
want them to hold money for 3 months

Are they like CRIS in that they round down your cents? The only way to bet $500.00 to win $450.00 is to bet a -111 line to get $450.45, which is then rounded down? I thought they were a 20c book

I don't know?? I think so??

You like my chances?

I can't see into the future, so I don't know what will happen in the SB or who will even be the teams. If all of these teams stay healthy in their current state, I'd say you have a great opportunity for a middle in the range of approx. 5-7 points, which I tend to like in a typical NFL matchup, but seeing that the SB is traditionally a blowout more times than not, I'm not sure I'd eat the juice for that vig. NE isn't going to be there, so we won't have another 3 point margin

Carib have never rounded down my bets before. Additionally, when I've gone there then they've always used "rounded" odds like -105, -110, -115 etc. and never something like -111. There's something very odd about that ticket.

**imgv94** · 01-16-06, 05:22 PM

Hey you know when they have future bets they do weird shit like that. hey
taco who do you like to win the super bowl????

AFC vs NFC (Odds To Win 2006 Superbowl)(All Bets Action)

01/22 at 03:00 pm

AFC -3.5 -110 $500.00 to win $454.55

Just went to the Carib site to put on a bet of $500 on a similar future - $500 at odds of -110. They quote the correct payout of $454.55. Carib have been working this way ever since I started playing there.

**tacomax** · 01-16-06, 06:12 PM

I just went back and tried a $5 wager. It seems like Carib round UP the bets where applicable.

AFC vs NFC (Odds To Win 2006 Superbowl)(All Bets Action)

AFC -3.5 -110 $5.00 to win $4.55

**tacomax** · 01-16-06, 06:38 PM

Even odder.

I looked at the Carib site and there is actually a max bet of $330 specified on this future (presumably this is in fact a max win of $300). It's very strange that Carib are specifying a max win of $300 a couple of weeks or so before the Superbowl when imgv94's ticket back in November has a win which is 50% higher.

I would have thought that the max win on this future would increase closer to the Superbowl date rather than reduce.

**imgv94** · 01-16-06, 06:45 PM

thats bullshit I made this bet in November. Your just trying to make shit up,

Max bet was $500 I swear.. I thought we were gonna have a truce. and you

didn't mention who you like. Hey remember when you said carib was down

for hours when it was only 30 mins? Your just begging to get creditabilty back.

And you are spending time to try to get me,when you could be capping a game?

Oh thats right u never bet huh? You never say who you like or mention a pick

win and all up on here when I lose.

your a stalking,psycho,weird guy TACO..

**tacomax** · 01-16-06, 06:57 PM

I'm certainly not making anything up, you're getting very defensive for some reason - I can't think why.

I'm just remarking on a number of inconsistencies in that ticket. And they are very odd inconsistancies. These are inconsistancies that I've never seen at Carib and which I've never heard happening at Carib. This could even be described as a unique ticket.

And if you recall the thread about the Carib downtime, I posted the screenshot from the Carib site saying that the site was going to be down for a total of 9 hours. If it was actually down for 30 minutes then that was misinformation from Carib. I hope that clears that matter up.

**imgv94** · 01-16-06, 07:04 PM

Hey I'm tired of arguing. What happen to the truce.

**jomar** · 01-16-06, 07:28 PM

**Razz** · 01-16-06, 10:04 PM

Damn, who cares if he made the bet or not? He's posted plenty of bets before the fact, the majority of which were successful. If he is posting a fake bet - which I personally would be surprised to find out - he's an idiot, but questioning it is just as silly.

Carib insists they do not shave cents and do not have a $500 to win $450 wager on that future, FWIW.

I know a lot of people try to impress others by posting high limit bets, that's irrelevant to me and not the issue here, I just hate books that utilize the Office Space scam and they assured me they do not and I have asked several people with accounts there to place a wager to see if they shave and they do not.

**slacker00** · 01-17-06, 12:17 AM

I saw AFC -3.5 -108 in SB on Pinny. Might be a pretty nice middle opportunity.

Well I think that definatively clears up that little matter.
