    Quick math lesson
    People seem to think a team at -200 is a lock, that they are a huge favorite.

    To break even betting a team at -200, they just have to win 67% of the time, or 2 out of every 3 games. That is really not that much. Keep this in mind posters.

    To make money at -200 one has to bet alot on one game, win, cashout, and never play again.

    You only have to hit once (100%).

    Easy.

      Yeah, that's some basic stuff. How about this... if I were to pay you $1 a second, how long would it take you to acquire 1 Trillion dollars?
