    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

      not really messed up.

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

              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

                  not really messed up.

                  ML ... a tie would push

                    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

                                    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.

                                      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.

                                          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 = 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?
