simple math question for 6 points

[housecloud]

I could figure this out on my own.. I'm just lazy..

I'm not a pro anymore.. can I give points? I'll give my 6 points (woo!) to the first correct answer..

I like Seattle to win the Superbowl (don't try and talk me out of it)

5Dimes is offering these current odds:

Seattle Seahawks <input id="editx" name="C_0" size="4"> +182

Denver Broncos vs Seattle Seahawks <input id="editx" name="C_4" size="4"> +121

New England Patriots vs Seattle Seahawks <input id="editx" name="C_6" size="4"> +361

	25415 Seattle beats Denver		<input id="editx" name="M1_29" size="4"> +319
3:00PM		25416 Any other result		<input id="editx" name="M2_29" size="4"> -387

	25413 Seattle beats New England		<input id="editx" name="M1_28" size="4"> +584
3:00PM		25414 Any other result		<input id="editx" name="M2_28" size="4"> -867

I've got $2,000 that I want on Seattle to win... What makes the most sense mathematically? Do I get any better odds playing both Seattle beats Denver and Seattle beats New England... Rather just loading up all of it onto the +182 or does it work out the same? I do believe Seattle plays Denver and Seattle wins.. but I would hate loading up on that +319 and having New England beat out Denver this weekend...How Should I spread out the $2,000.

Thanks.

You should just pm Deemer in this.

He'll set you straight.

[SamDiamond]

I'm not sure what you posted here...

You have 2 sets of odds...

You have Denver/Seattle listed at +121

You have New England/Seattle listed +361...

Then underneath-- different odds.....

Seattle beats Denver +319

Seattle beats NE +584.

Which odds are you referring to and I will give you the answer

If you are convinced beyond reason that Seattle will win the Super Bowl--- don't try and figure out who they are playing

Just bet Seattle to win the SB at +182

No reason to fuk around with the NE-Denver game.

[innovation]

buy as many quality seats to the Niners game as you can.....double or triple up and then play which ever NFC team is in the SB.

[housecloud]

You have Denver/Seattle listed at +121

You have New England/Seattle listed +361...

(these are just match-up odds) if there is any reason to take these as well then I will..

[RudyRuetigger]

ill figure it out for exactly 40 points.

that is 2 points a day for 20 days

other than that, im sure somehow else will help for free

i do not want to spend time figuring it out, then someone else posting the answer and i do it for nothing

None of these guys are answering your question correctly because apparently reading comprehension is hard. Not to worry, I got you.

1300 on Seattle beats Denver +319 gives you 3474 profit (4174-700 on the loss on the other bet)

700 on Seattle beats New England +584 gives you 2788 profit (4088-1300 on the loss on the other bet)

2000 on Seattle just winning in general +182 gives you 3640 profit

Close enough?

[bubblebuttluv]

Seattle +181 is the best deal out of those options.

Say Seattle plays Denver, well then you have a gain of 0.21 units (You take your 1.21 unit profit and subtract your 1 unit investment in Seattle vs New England). Now if New England plays Seattle, well than you have a gain of 2.61 units (You take your 3.61 unit profit and subtract your 1 unit investment in Seattle vs Denver). You could make more money on Seattle vs New England, but you are counting on yet another game to go your way (aside from the NFC Championship and the Super Bowl).

And give the points to someone else, if you want. I could care less about the Betpoints.

best of luck

1300 on Seattle beats Denver +319 gives you 4174 profit

700 on Seattle beats New England +584 gives you 4088 profit

seems like this is the best bet... Anyone care to argue that?

Not to sound like a dick, but if you already seem like you have a great idea, then why are you asking others?

The bet you posted sounds fine.

I am working on schoolwork at college right now so I couldn't crunch all the numbers earlier.

Wrong, the answer is 2000 on Seattle +182 for +3640

Given what was typed above, you would only win 3447 with Seattle over Denver and 2788 with Seattle over NE

Don't forget you lose what you wager on the losing side, lol

[RudyRuetigger]

what a fukkin joke this thread is

[CTOWNsCAPPIN]

ROFLcopters advice is what you need to take

[housecloud]

I'll be the first to admit.. I didn't even calculate the losses on the other game...All I did was look over his answer real quickly and thought it made the most sense... pretty penetrating stupid...

[LT Profits]

Um no, read my last post

[RudyRuetigger]

did anyone try to calculate both MLs yet??

LT is right, I forgot to subtract what you would lose on the other side

jesus christ and you thought reading comprehension was bad on others

what a fukkin slap in the face you just got

[LT Profits]

And this may be speculation on my part, but if you like Denver to beat New England, you are probably better off just doing a Seattle ML parlay the next two weeks. If you like New England to upset, take the +182 Future with Seattle.

we can calculate the chances of each given the spread on denver/ne and therefore come to correct answer

[ROFLcopter]

lol. forgot to subtract the loss from the other bet... that was nothing to do with reading comprehension. that just means i'm bad at math. anyway, i was right that peoples reading comprehension sucked because most people could barely understand the damn question that was asked

there were 5 replies before you typed pal

only 1 mentioned anything to do with the problem.

if by "peoples", you meant one person then ok

makes sense. Thanks for your help.. I really like Seattle to win over Denver... so a part of me wants to load up on the +319 for roughly $1600 and let the $400 go on Seattle over New England for protection... but I think I think I'll just stick with the +182 for $2,000... or ML all in both Seattle games as you suggested..

Thanks for everyone who tried to help.

LT is right here so if you just like Seattle do the Future +182. If you happen to like Pats over Denver, you could split the $2000 evenly on Hawks vs either of the teams (+319, +584). You would stand to gain 4840 profit that way and would still win some in the event that Broncos make it and lose instead, 2190 profit.

Depends how you like the games though.

[RudyRuetigger]

this is all quantifiable if you had given your percent chance of denver winning over new england

i wouldve asked that question

hey, atleast now you have people doing it for you

Admittedly quick and dirty, I get +186 vs. Denver, +164 vs. NE, which would mean what I said stands in Post #24

I just cheated and used Super Bowl lines at 5 Dimes as starting point. I assume Seattle -120 over Denver, -145 over NE

you think it is that bad for afc? then clearly seattle futures are the choice. i would say both afc teams are favored, but less than 3 pts over seattle.
