Serious Question about a Futures Bet

[Big Bear]

If you were going to bet say $700 on a Futures bet...

Would you trust an online book to pay you?

or

would you travel to Vegas stay a couple nights in a hotel and place your bet out there where you know you can cash your ticket if you win your bet?


Now obviously going to Vegas would be enjoyable but looking at this strictly from a business stand point what would you do?

[Big Bear]

i guess the real question is would it be too much of a pain in the ass to collect 15K from an online sportsbook ?

[THam12]

Well, BB, lets hear the future first.

You aint winning 15k, stop kidding yourself

[leetreaper]

15K for any top book

For Bear it's life changing money obviously

[leetreaper]

Bovada lost 1 Mil in 1 day on UFC and this putz concerned about freaking 15 grand.

Not unless you parlayed a couple of separate Futures bets like say if you picked the NBA Outright winner aswell as the NHL outright winner.

Lol, why wouldn't they pay you for that? If the parlay is allowed they will pay. Just tried on bet365, worked fine.

please clarify.

Are you saying you recommend this or you would only make a futures bet if you were doing this type of parlay bc online sportsbooks are the only ones that allow you to parlay 2 different futures?

i mean i guess i could do that with Montreal Canadians and Cleveland Cavaliers for a small $100 or so.

Yeah I know just saying hed need really decent odds to win 15K with a 700 dollar stake.

[Big Bear]

He's pulling are leg

not pulling anyones leg.

i'm serious.

Thats why i dont even want to get into who i am trying to bet on b/c i dont want to turn this into that type of thread.

i am just looking for honest dependable answers from guys with experience working these online books.

i know the books would pay but is it too sketch to take a 15K check from a canadian bank ?

TUE morning dreaming session for the Bear

Like I was saying ive made abit with parlaying futures,no good betting on the Cavs Futures on their own if you want to win 15K with 700 bucks. Know if you parlayed the Cavs and Canadiens together you could make that return and more.

Its upto you mate,if you feel really confident in the Cavs and Habs I would go for it

just looked it up on a parlay calculator if you parlay
Kentucky to win national championship
Habs to make it to the Stanley Cup
Cavaliers to win NBA title

$100 pays out $5,125

The Books will pay. At least a top book will pay if your information is correct. Now if you are in Europe then obviously the books are reliable. In the States, of course Vegas is the top option, but if you use 5Dimes and are okay only withdrawing a few thousand each time then you should be fine.

[YorkHunt]

Bear....whats going to be your dumb question of the day tomorrow?

[Double Bogey]

What a dumb f\*\*k
