    Help With Prop Bet

    Okay I almost never bet prop bets, mostly because it never occurs to me. I'm too focused on team spreads and totals. So I'm hoping someone can help me out with this prop bet. On 5D there's one that reads:

    KC turnovers committed -1/2 -135
    PIT turnovers committed +1/2 +105

    So if I understand this correctly, if KC turns the ball over even once that bet cashes? To me that sounds too good to be true. ..On the other hand, any thing can happen. So am I understanding this prop bet correctly?

    Yes if you bet KC -1/2 you need one more TO for that to cash...

    And Romeo is benching anyone who commits a TO ....

    EDIT

    No. It's saying that add up all of KC and Pitts TO's and KC will be favored by -.5. So KC will have to have 1 more turnover than Pitt for it to cash.

    lkid you're wrong

    you take kc turnovers vs pitt turnovers

    if they both turn it over once, for example, then pitt +1/2 is the winner

    Which is why KC is -135 b/c they're expected to turn the ball over more. Pitt only forced a handful of TO's this year so be careful

    Thanks for the speedy answers. I think frisco and milwaukee mike are right. KC needs one more TO than Pitt for the -1/2 to cash. Would have been funny had I loaded up on KC -1/2, thinking all I needed was one turnover from them to hit that bet.

    Yeah, I think I still might take it though. So far it's seems like the best prop bet.

    Kansas needs to commit less turnovers than the steelers to win

    It's like a spread on turnovers with the chiefs getting 0.5 start
