I'm a WINNER...Cashing in on messes up lines

Lakers -1/2 for 2nd half at -180 or ML at -210....getting an extra 30 cents on it, so had to bet it.

$135 to win $75

got $37.24 left w/ 2 pending

[Vesuvius]

not really messed up.

ML ... a tie would push
-.5 ... a tie and you lose

[Vesuvius]

and considering its around the spread, a tie wouldn't be unreasonable

[Chi_archie]

how do you tie on a half point?

[Vesuvius]

a tie as in both teams score 50 in the second half

[Chi_archie]

if they both score 50 sammy loses (hence the - MINUS half point) if the lakers score 51 and the clips score 50 sammy wins. so like he said its a ML bet essentially

[SamsNCharge99]

Portland is killing me for 2nd half though...were looking good, then Houston went on like 15-5 run

[UntilTheNDofTimE]

chi hes refering to if he took the Ml

not really messed up.

ML ... a tie would push
-.5 ... a tie and you lose

[Vesuvius]

yes, that's why the -.5 and ML are NOT the same. if they both score 50 and sammy had ML, then he would PUSH. instead, if they both score 50, sammy loses with -.5

so these aren't messed up lines

half a point in a half is about 30 cents give or take

[SamsNCharge99]

real simple...Lakers win by 11+ I WIN

if they win by 10 or less, I LOSE

[Chi_archie]

sorry, see what you guys were saying now. thought you were saying you could push a -1/2 point bet somehow.

[pat venditto]

Sammy this post makes you look real stupid.

[SamsNCharge99]

if they push 2nd half, than I am stupid

[pureajb]

Any worse than his current picture?

I'm a loser.. I have no idea what i'm talking about.

[yisman]

nah, that determines nothing.

The point is that -.5 and ML are not the same for a half because a half can push, so the lines are fine.

Anyway, Clippers won the second half SU, so you don't have to worry about losing on a push.

[DrStale]

You are a LOSER....Not cashing in on anything whatsoever

Granted, I had the Lakers full game but I look much less stupid because I did not make a thread like this one.

venditto u r halarious but sammy would upliterate u in a caping contest and u know this

[Hotdiggity11]

ML and -.5 are only the same before a game [Unless a football or basketball game is crazy enough to actually qualify for a tie].

[CarpeDime]

ML and -.5 ARE THE SAME

halftime AND FULL GAME

mods pls move to handicaper think tank so they can prove whose right

[DrStale]

Please explain how -.5 can push.

Carpedime = aao.

Carpedime

Lakers were up 10.

Now you take lakers -.5 for the 2nd half. 2nd half score hypothetically is 45-45 Lakers -.5 = loser.

If you take lakers -.5 for the full game you can't lose on a tie.

By the way did i mention you're an idiot?

I believe the word you are looking for is obliterate

[yisman]

and "hilarious" and "capping" and "you" and "are". Why bother? The guy is not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer.

[pat venditto]

Sammy beat me in a handicapping contest already. It's all about money as far as i'm concerned.
