if bets

[nickmanning214]

So I know about if bets...like where if your first team loses, the second is no action.

Is there a way to do if loss bets...so like if your first team WINS, the second is no action, but if it loses then the second bet counts?

I haven't seen if-lose bets in a looooong time. Some books had them in the late 90s.

There's a way you can essentially do this at a place like The Greek that lets you bet different amounts on both parts of the IF (min $5).

Two games start at the same time tonight, Mem -2.5 vs OKC and NO -12.5 vs Char. Assume you want to bet $500 on Memphis and if that loses you want $1000 on New Orleans.

Make a straight bet on Memphis -2.5 $550/$500. Also put in an If bet on OK City +2.5 $5.50/$5 with NO -12.5 $1100/$1000. This would accomplish what you want.

I know UK books used to take a bet called "stop at a winner"

If say you had 3 selections on your bet slip,

Man Utd £10 win @2/1

Federer £10 win @evns

Yankees £10 win @ 3/1

If you also wrote on the bet slip "stop at a winner" then if the first selection wins you get £30 plus your £20 back from the other 2 as they will be voided and so on.
I think you might find it hard to get that bet on with an online book.
