50 points to the first poster that answers this correctly
Joe bet the Canucks to win the series and risked 2200 to win 1k. Before game 7, he no longer liked the bet and wanted to bail out with a small loss and have nothing at risk on game 7. How much did he bet on the Blackhawks at +150?
Create an algebra equation and solve for x, which is the amount he bet on the Blackhawks. Show your work.
I dont see how you could call 500 or more a small loss
Small as possible then.
stupid. fuking. thread.
oh and first post of day
And it's much less than 500.
2200=1.5x
divide both sides by 1.5
x=1466.666...
If the Blackhawks win, Joe breaks even.
If the Canucks win, Joe loses $466.666...
2200 = 2.5x
880 risked
Where x is your bet at +150
A = Amount at Risk (2200)
B = To win (1000)
C = Decimal of Chicago odds (2.5)
x = (a/c)
x = 880

Alternatively, Joe could bet $1280 on the Blackhawks to win $1920, meaning he has no risk and loses $280 regardless of the outcome.
A)Blackhawks win. He wins $1920 and loses $2200, for a net of -280.
B)Canucks win. He wins $1000 and loses $1280 for a net of -280 again.
then I am wrong cause I dont see that possible..Its even more than 500
I dont know algebra but my basic math is decent
Fukke meeee..
Incomplete.
What about my answer??
2200 = 2.5x
2200/2.5 = x
X = 880
So he bets 880
Wrong, sorry.
Oh I get why its tricky
3200 = 2.5x
3200/2.5 =x
X = 1280 risked
2200 only accounts for your wager, but you need to solve it for what you would receice back total if it won

Incomplete. Show the initial equation.
Ok I will consider this the winner.
What
2200 * 1.45 = y
Y = 2.5x
3200 = 2.5x
3200 / 2.5 = x
X = 1280
1000-x = 1.5x-2200
3200 = 2.5x
x=1280
Loss of $280
Interesting I took a different approach but it led to the same thing, best thing about math..thanks for the points
I don't know how to draw up equations but I did get the correct answer first.
I love algebra. It is applicable to real life just like this here. I wish I had become a high school math teacher. I'd probably have parents complaining about gambling lines showing up on my extra credit problems.
This is true but my first post was clear on the rules.
Yeah math is very useful except I find algebra way more practical then calculus
Which is what they teach us at uni and it is brutal
Yeah I loved math all through school from 1st grade thru high school. The highest I took was Calculus 1 and was afraid of all the classes above calc 1 just to be able to teach hs algebra. I wish I had gone that route though.
Well you saved yourself some headaches that's for sure
took calculus as a prereq for stats which was a prereq to econometrics
Tell me bout it. Takin calc right now, and got more 2 calc classes to go. FML.
