If for some reason you knew, 100%, that you were going to win 1 bet

I would get every last penny I can from my bank account to my book's account and bet.

SBR Lou · 03-27-08, 10:28 AM

That depends.

Is it the same type of 100% as the Clemson ML the other week?

Or is it an actual, peer into future type deal.

If it's a "peer into the future" guaranteed no-chance-of-failure, then I'd mortgage my house, dip into my IRA and 401K, drain my mutual funds and bet it all.

I'd make the trip to Vegas... Where I KNOW I'm getting paid... not trusting that big a bet to internet books.

jjgold · 04-21-08, 06:59 PM

mofo no one would work if it was a sure thing

CashMoney · 04-21-08, 07:05 PM

Id spread out my bet at EVERY book in vegas. I would bring like 6 friends out to help do so. Id say "Hey,Ill give you $100 do go to these 3 sports book at make this bet"

Panic · 04-21-08, 07:31 PM

I consider playing the lottery a bet. I would put everything I have on the numbers I knew would win. I would be the wealthest country in the world.

You wouldnt have to play "everything you had". You would only have to play $1 to hit that megamillions jackpot

Imagine it X's your entire bankroll. You know you cant lose. Why play 1?

thegreatdiatchi · 04-21-08, 10:00 PM

If it was "I see into the future" then, and only then would I put everything I possibly could - including credit - on it.

In the real world though I'm the type of guy who is only willing to bet what he's willing to lose - and that's not really much.

pavyracer · 04-21-08, 10:15 PM

I'll bet $100,000 that mofome, swede96 and Iwinyourmoney are using the same computer to post their responses to this thread.

diogee · 04-21-08, 10:23 PM

I think there is a good chance you would lose 100k on that one Pavy.

topgame85 · 04-21-08, 10:29 PM

Nothing is for sure in life but birth and death never bet what you can't afford to lose because your peak into the future may turn out to be a really bad acid trip and then guess what...... yah big trouble

Agreed. 3 different people.

FreeFall · 04-21-08, 11:21 PM

I'd be one unit like I do one every bet.

Psst....he's really not that good at that either. Just sayin'

louisvillekid · 04-22-08, 01:39 PM

about the same as i put on most bets, anywhere from 50 to 100. no such thing as a lock, and i'm just not gutsy like that.

JoshW · 04-22-08, 02:00 PM

The vegas angle is smart. If you had access to pinnacle and exchanges, you could get down for as much as you wanted, granted the odds would drop a lot. I would likely borrow as much as I could and then get down everywhere I could, that i knew would pay.

In general it is impossible to know the outcome of a sporting event even if it is fixed.

I was in the position a couple times where I had someone I knew I could trust tell me the outcome of several awards that had betting on them. The only outs where offshore and I got down enough to pay my rent for a year plus some. That lasted two years and then the sportsbooks stopped offering odds on the event. Is still likely my best betting story.

Does the FISH know SOMEthing?
