What advatage does the player have with this??

[Bluehorseshoe]

In regards to "IF WIN" bets. I'm trying to figure out why all the bets in the "if win" bet have to all be at the same risk. This is something that changed in the last three years and I can't figure out why.


What advantage does the player have "with out" the risk limit?

I think people use it as more of a tool to manage money. Say they have two plays and dont want to lose more than 1 unit a day. They put in an "if win" bet and if they win the first leg then they let it ride on the second.

Not a great bet but Ive known some people to use them for this reason.

I play them all the time. The question is, why must every leg of the bet be the same risk? That wasn't always the rule.

For example, You use to be able to bet "to win" $300 at -$160 on the first leg and then the next bet could have been to win $300 at -$180. Now, the risk would have be -$160 (or less) on the next bet.

If bets are solid with correlated plays.

Imagine this NCAAF play:
If Chump college +40 cover
then play Chump College under 50

If risk amounts are not the same
Risk 11 to win 10 on Chump +40
then play 1100 to win 1000 on Chump College Under 50

I play if win/push all the time. Better than parlays, when you hit 3/4 so many times, you really have no other choice.

That makes sense and I should have picked up on it.
