Bovada has terrible lines for hockey and bases. You can get some value on dogs in NFL and the teasers are ok. It's a rec book.Originally Posted by bald_guy
With Bovada there is no regulation betting. You get 2 choices. Moneyline (which includes overtime/shootouts) and -1.5 or +1.5. The +1.5 is the underdog, and the -1.5 is the favorite. As an added twist, they give -xxx payout for +1.5 and +xxx payouts for -1.5.
Perhaps 5 dimes and BookMaker offer 3 ways to bet. Regulation, +-1.5 and ML?
There are generally three possible ways of designating a set of x-unit bets...When he bets 3 units at -150 he risks 300 to win 200 not risking 450 to win 300.
A. "TO RISK"...here whether dogs or faves, you risk "x" to win whatever the odds imply. This is popular among Euro-bettors.
B. The American or "hybrid" system: here you risk "x" for dogs BUT you play faves TO WIN "x"...
AND there's another, far less popular method of betting (that I use and swear by)...it's...
C. "TO WIN". here you bet everything, whether dogs or faves to win the specified units (risking whatever the odds imply to do so)

Nino, I've always been assuming u've been using B, like most around here...but nbballa7's question (and it is a good one) and boeingpower's response (also a good one)...have me curious...
Do you operate the European "to risk" method, the American "hybrid" (dogs to risk/faves to win) system, or are you a fellow non-conformist and bet everything "to win".

His 3 unit loss was at -150. Which makes is a 4.5 unit loss. I tailed so that is how I know how many units were lost.
im not trying to start anything I think Niņo is great, I just think it was a mistake.
1 unit on the Kings?As stated in post #1, All bets are 1u risked unless otherwise stated. Looks like Bernier and Smith in net. Didn't realize that Smith was yanked after giving up 4 goals on 22 shots last night. Go Kings!
BOL Nino
3u lost is -3u @ -150 or -100000000. It's 3u risked, not to win 3u.His 3 unit loss was at -150. Which makes is a 4.5 unit loss. I tailed so that is how I know how many units were lost.
im not trying to start anything I think Niņo is great, I just think it was a mistake.
1u risked to win 1.05u on the over yesterday = +1.05u
1u risked to win 0.91u on the Kings = +0.91u
3u lost on Vancouver = -3u
1.05 + 0.91 = 1.96u subtract 3u lost = -1.04u
It's all in SBR's Spreadsheet. There are zero mistakes with my units.
Please just read all of the above comments explaining why he did not make a mistake. Everyone has laid it out very clearly.His 3 unit loss was at -150. Which makes is a 4.5 unit loss. I tailed so that is how I know how many units were lost.

went big on Canadiens and Kings, took Pens for a medium play. Appears we are on the same teams today, GL tonight.
Like your plays today Nino. GL.Like the picks, with you on Habs and Penguins in regulation. Still looking at the Blues, but will most likely play it as I have the Canucks on fade only alert and they are back to back. I just think they have been overvalued here for a while, missing Kesler and not Luongo not in top form.
Throwing in a play on the Devils. Rangers back to back and on a long run without two days off and travel between every game.Good luck El Niņo,
Letang is out for pens but hopefully they still roll.BOL Nino
Nino, is that an accurate re-statement?...
Yup. So my 3u @-150 play on Vancouver yesterday was to win 2u. 1u play on Kings @-110 netted me +0.91u.Nino, is that an accurate re-statement?...
It's all units risked.
*Didn't realize there was confusion on that.
f ing canadiens. i should have known not to trust anything having to do with canada.
I'm watching the Pens game, but got my phone reporting action on the Montreal game. Looks like we are 2 behind already. Sure hope things turn around. Also, Latang not in the Pens game, ouch.
Think we might need a bit of help to come out ahead on the first 2 games. Lets hope we get it.
Yeah, Canadiens better pull their heads out. Can't be losing to shit teams at home. I figured Letang would be out. Teammates tend to pick up the slack for the first few games.
Let the floodgates (Holtby) open!
Thanks for clearifing I have been playing if wrong the whole time :X lol.Please just read all of the above comments explaining why he did not make a mistake. Everyone has laid it out very clearly.
sorry for the confusion boys!
