    I will sell my Giants to win the Superbowl future

    Ticket#:1129980 Jan 20 10:00 PM Internet / -1 Dec 02 06:56 PM TNT odds TO WIN THE 2012 SUPER BOWL XLVI [12] NEW YORK GIANTS +4500 12.00 /540.00

    Pays 540 if Giants win, will take 300. Giants win and your 300 pays 552, I will throw in the 12 for the bet also. That gives you the Giants for +184.

    I do think the Giants win and I am a Giant fan hope you win, just want the points now.

    I will sell it for 276, that gives you Giants +200. Can't go any lower than that. Someone has got to jump on this...

    552/2=276

    276 x line of +200 = 552


    How?

    Why would somebody want a losing bet?

    living why not just ride the bet out man.. if no one wants it I mean.

    but to throw away 300 pts isnt smart considering ur situation bud

    I dont personally like giants in the bowl.. but not sure its smart to sell out of a pick u love either.

    How?
    um that would give you 552 + your 276 back

    giving 276 on a future that will give you a total of 552 is only getting +100 on the giants

    that's why nobody has jumped at this yet

    if you give me +160 i'll take it, that would be 212 x 1.6 = 339 winnings + 212 returned for a total of 551

    How?
    Because that is +100 not +200.

    Someone would be paying you 276 to win 276.

    No, not at all... You are talking about a Giants team that barely made the playoffs due to a season full of injuries. They have everyone together now and have taken out the #1 team I'm football and the #1 defense in football. The Pats played a weak schedule in a sub par division including losing to the Giants while the Giants were in the middle of injuries already. This game won't be close. Giants win by 10+

    Theres nothing wrong with wanting to lock up profits on your Giants future bet but to say that the Patriots have no chance against the Giants is ridiculous.

    Also, if you want someone to take you up on your offer, you'll have to get that calculator fixed as well as give some sort of assurance that you'll transfer the points from your bet after the Super Bowl.

    All in all, a shaky proposition from start to finish.

    I did mess up the calculations, it was my bad. I just don't see this Pats team hanging. I hope to be transferring my points to Thad. I am a Giants fan and as of right now on a 12 pt bet made 265 including bonuses, I am thrilled and will be even more when my Giants beat the Pats handily and I hand over those points.
