I do, I've collected quite a few pennies over my time and plan to withdraw my deposit win I'm done gambling.

[Chimneyfish]

Might be a good play if you can tease it up a little.

[Emily_Haines]

I can honestly say I will never have 100k in my 5dimes account.

Don't need a 100 bucks that bad to put that kind of coin at risk.

Putting up 350 to win 20 is one thing but putting up 100000 to win 100 is insane.

[warriorfan707]

That is a free 50 cents. Theres no gamble here whatsoever. Thats free money.

[MickeyMan]

Good luck on your bet Emily

Idiot, it can lose once in a lifetime

Idiot, it can lose once in a lifetime

Years ago when horse racing was still pretty hot, I am talking 25-30 years ago big players would play large money on an 8 field trotter race on the very best horse to show. A few thousand dollars on that horse would most likely pay .10 but it was done. $2 bucks for 10 cents, I believe that is what it was. Many many years ago and I think they had to pay .10. I never did this but I know it was done.

[dante1]

I believed they called it a minus pool and the track had to pay so much.

[warriorfan707]

You are the idiot for thinking Dallas might lose this game by 43 at home.

You are the fukking idiot and that is the truth.

I wasnt talking lifetime moron.

[TheMoneyShot]

The craziest sh#$ always happens on Sunday Night... I would never lay -9#$#$ ever. In fact, I would never touch anything unless it's +

Same deal as the minus pool, more than likely you will win a lot of plays, but if you lose one you never get even for the rest of your life. lol I would make the play though.

EH, if you don't mind putting up 350 to win 20 you would have been perfectly at home playing those show bets at the track. Because that is almost exactly the pay out you would get, I believe 400 would return 20. But, don't lose one because then you must win the next 20. lol

[will2survive]

they have high payouts for a "2 pointer". 2nite, you woud've been a winner

[ebbearsfb1]

People like warrior play it... that think it could never lose.....

[warriorfan707]

Wow look at that Dallas covered the +42.5.

Theres a fukkin surprise.

[Masu485]

that gives it a 99.9% chance of winning.

i'd rather take a play for a better price, like -20000, giving it a 99.5% chance of winning

[idontlikerocks]

hit a 100 to 1 tonight there second time in 3 years

[warriorfan707]

These are good bets for rich people.

[Bongo]

Thats what I thought when my friend bet the moneyline on this game 4 years ago....

The 2007 Stanford vs. Southern California football game was a college football game held on October 6, 2007, at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles, California. In a remarkable upset, the visiting Stanford Cardinal won 24–23. Southern California was favored by 41 points over Stanford, making the game the largest point-spread upset in college football history.<sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference">

[1]</sup> Southern California entered the game with a 35-game home game winning streak (its previous home game loss was also to Stanford in 2001) which included a 24-game home game winning streak in Pac-10 play. By contrast, Stanford had compiled a Pac-10 worst 1–11 season in 2006 which included a 42–0 loss to USC. To compound their situation, Stanford's starting quarterback, T. C. Ostrander, had suffered a seizure the previous week; the backup quarterback, Tavita Pritchard had never started a game and had only ever thrown three passes.

[warriorfan707]

I wouldnt compare that to Dallas getting 42.5 at home

[jjgold]

I would not lay 200 to win 1

Betfair has tons of stuff in running where you can lay like 20,000 to win $100 daily

A Dallas home game vs the Giants this year with these players is not even close to the same thing as any college game, not even remotely close. Dallas could not lose by 6 touchdowns unless the game was fixed, period.

This will lose 1 out of 1000 times roughly.
You are making a fool of yourself here, so you never saw a 43 points road win in the NFL?
What if Dallas players get hurt, backup QB throws 1 INT after the other?
They are called sucker bets for a reason, warrior is the living proof

I have been burned a couple of times laying 999/1 (small amounts mind you). Just last year I lost an NBA over/under that those odds when there were something like 17 points in the last 32 seconds of a game which was over from a competitive point of view. Sh!t really does happen.

There is no such thing as free money. You would win this Dallas bet 499 times out of 500 but the time you dont..................

[jjgold]

Never ever bet free money things

Only free money are scalps

[ebbearsfb1]

Care to venture a guess how many times a closing line has been out by 47 or more points in NFL regular season games?
