Ok boys, lets test your gambling knowledge.................

[Nicky Santoro]

ok boys, you have 3 remaining bets... which is the game you want to win the most of these 3? IOW, which is your biggest game here?


a-WASH + 360 for risking 100 to win 360$
b-Lakers m.l. -820.. to win 50$
c-sac m.l +475, risking 80.


Answer?

Is it a) b) or c)

[TheIntegrityKid]

It's A........easily.....

you lay TOO MUCH chalk with the lakers......... Sac SUCKS in basketball and while the Nats are crappy too, in baseball, even losers go on good winning streaks, so give me WASH

[UntilTheNDofTimE]

B thats your biggest loss potential

[Nicky Santoro]

no, i don't think you understand the question, kid.

i am asking which is your biggest game, $$$ wise..

[SexyMit]

C. It is not as much risk but a bigger reward.

[Deuce]

B if you lose C if you win

[jjgold]

c-sac m.l +475, risking 80

[paco]

B, just like until said- too much at risk

[Nicky Santoro]

keep all guessing boys.. i want to see who gets it right.... i will not say yet..

your biggest game, $$$ wise..

[UntilTheNDofTimE]

U guys are tards no wonder u loose so much
bet A) u risk 100 with a potential win of 360
bet B) u risk 410 to win 50 if u loose B u loose more than u can win on any bet, so bet B is biggest
bet C) brings back 380

use your brain its B

[TheIntegrityKid]

no, i don't think you understand the question, kid.

i am asking which is your biggest game, $$$ wise..

I understand the question.. but picking the winner is part of it... I don't see Sac winning, so that eliminates them... The Lakers are prob more guaranteed but I won't lay that much chalk on them for this and in Baseball, anything can happen..

I knew my reply was going against the spirit of the question, but still, the teams involved ARE a factor, to me...

[Matt Rain]

They're all the same. $460 payout in every case.

[TheIntegrityKid]

U guys are tards no wonder u loose so much
bet A) u risk 100 with a potential win of 360
bet B) u risk 410 to win 50 if u loose B u loose more than u can win on any bet, so bet B is biggest
bet C) brings back 380

use your brain its B

you are absolutely correct...

i just wouldn't put money down on B or C so A is the bet I wanna win most lol

[Nicky Santoro]

I love you guys..


i was getting all answers from every direction.. where the real answer is........................


it doesn't matter what wins or what loses, the end result is all the same..


No matter which game wins.. you still lose 130$...

so the answer was d).. NONE OF THE ABOVE.


thanks for playing along, boys..

i hope you all enjoyed my trick question.. it always fools everyone..

[Chi_archie]

B
doesn't matter if you win the others if you lose 410 in that game

[AMBlai01]

it doesn't matter if you just pick winners....then no matter which one you bet it wins....

[Nicky Santoro]

B
doesn't matter if you win the others if you lose 410 in that game

archibald,

they are all equally just as big..

50 (-820) to lose 410 is a 460 swing

100 to win 360 is a 460 swing

80 to win 380 is a 460 swing..

[Squirrel]

i hope you all enjoyed my trick question.. it always fools everyone..

No doubt Onner will be along shortly to hail you as a genius and lick your bumhole.

Though I dont get why the answer is D] None of the above, you asked which game we wanted to win the most, surely we'd want them all to win, otherwise betting them would be stupid?

[jayc88]

doesnt matter if you beat the closing line

[Nicky Santoro]

the question was.. which is your biggest game here? $$ wise..

and they were all equal.. i wanted the posters to figure out they were all the same.. that was the trick question..

all are a 460$ swing.

[Chi_archie]

when there are 3 games going, you are never just hoping for one to win....

if all three games are going at the same time...which game are you sweating out the most???? B

you want B to win and hope that one of the others wins....

now if beforehand you had a crystal ball that said only 1 was gonna win.... that would be great you could go out and not have to sweat any games

[Nicky Santoro]

if all three games are going at the same time...which game are you sweating out the most???? B

you want B to win and hope that one of the others wins....

NO.. B would not be the one you'd have to sweat the most.. they are all equal to the penny..

if you go 1-2 with any combination, you still lose 130$.. even if you lose b)

[Chi_archie]

all i'm saying is that there is no way that before hand you would know that you were going 1-2

[onthewhat]

Nice job Nicky

You fooled everyone

[Nicky Santoro]

all i'm saying is that there is no way that before hand you would know that you were going 1-2

Even if you went 2-1 in any combination, you'd still win EXACTLY $330.. even if you lose the big -820 fav..

and no matter what combination you go 1-2, you lose $130.

all 3 games are equally important to the penny.. there's not 1 game that is bigger than the other.

[Chi_archie]

like I said there is no garuntee that you win 1.... who said you going 1-2?

I understand the math of it.... but if you lose all 3 which one hurts the most?

let's say you are playing on credit with your local, you got 400 bucks in your pocket its sunday night and you bet all these games and they are all losing with 1 min to go...... you have to settle up after this game.... it looks like you are gonna lose all 3 of them...


which of them will you be most pissed off at yourself for betting, when your bookie and his bruiser comes walking through the bar door

[yisman]

It's a tie. They're all the same, just in different ways.

With all of them, the potential swing is $460.

You would get the exact same amount by cashing each of the three.

[TheIntegrityKid]

Yeah but you are actually LOSING 410 with the Laker's loss, whereas you are only losing 180, out of pocket with the other two... So losing the Laker's game would hurt the most...

[Nicky Santoro]

NO.. no matter what happens, you lose $330 if you go 1-2

and

No matter what happens, you win $130 if you go 2-1..

even if lakers win or lose..

[TheIntegrityKid]

NO.. no matter what happens, you lose $330 if you go 1-2

and

No matter what happens, you win $130 if you go 2-1..

even if lakers win or lose..

I understand that... but the actual out of pocket loss from the Lakers stings more, cuz like Archie said, what happens if you lost all 3, you would FEEL that lakers loss more...

[Nicky Santoro]

losing the lakers game would not hurt more.. they are all equal.. the swing of each game is 460$..

it's like saying.. what is greater 8x8 =64 OR 16x4=64.. they are both 64..

[TheIntegrityKid]

it's like saying.. what is greater 8x8 =64 OR 16x4=64.. they are both 64..

you are not guaranteed to win ANY of the games... the swing may all be 460 but you are LAYING more of your money out of pocket on the laker game

if you lose the 100 or 80, that's nothing compared to losing a 410 heavy chalk bet...

there's more than one way to look at things nickay.... i know id feel worse about losing the laker game...easily

[KingRevolver]

It's A........easily.....

you lay TOO MUCH chalk with the lakers......... Sac SUCKS in basketball and while the Nats are crappy too, in baseball, even losers go on good winning streaks, so give me WASH

Boy - this kids dumb
