I was at my local ** Donalds this morning, and I noticed something that relates to sports gaming. The ** Donalds has two Sausage and Egg McMuffin sandwiches on sale for $3.50. You have to look for the sign that advertises that, and ask for them. Their Hash Browns cost $1.00 Now they also have an advertised "Special" which is easily seen on their menu board. Their #3 Special (or what ever the number is) has a Sausage and Egg McMuffin sandwich and a Hash Brown potato on "Special" for $4.29. So if you buy two of the Specials, it will run you about $9.00, but if you order the two sandwiches and two Hash Browns spearately it costs about $6.00.
This reminds me of those exotic wagers that can be made on football games, such as "If" wagers,"Reverse" wagers, "Teasers", "Parlays", and "Prop" wagers. Like the special at ** Donalds, they look like great deals, but if you take the time to investigate, you would find out that these wagers actually cost you money in the long run. That three team parlay that pays 6-1 looks very attrective, until you realize that the legitimate odds are 7-1, and you are better off wagering on each game individually.
So in which catagory do you fall? Do you jump on all of the "Advertised Specials" that the books offer, or do you do your homework and take the time to find out which "Specials" actually save you money, and which ones actually cost more? Doing your homework often leads to profits. Losing less money is just as important as making money.
