"IF" BETS

[bigboydan]

does anyone here even bet these things. if so, whats the advantages and disadvantages?

[BigD]

I bet if bet sometimes if my bankroll is low or if I not sure I want lay down more money on a late game I use the if bet. Advantage is if you win the first part you get money back close to original bet minus the juice and you have action on another bet if you lose the first leg no action on the second. Disadvantages when the first one loses and the second wins you get nothing. Like last night I if betted the Knicks and the Kings kings being the late game I didn't want to stay up for so the Knicks covered and the Kings were now in play.

I will once in a while. One advantage you can make multiple bets with a limited stack.


One disadvantage is that you could get 4 out of 5 winners correct and not win a cent.( if the first bet losses.)


I usaully only pick 2, 3 max in the If.

Kinda Iffy

Never played an if bet in my life, never really understood the love for it.

I have never bet an "IF" bet either.
