Jet fan I work with if offering me NYG +3.5 for our Christmas Bonus

[stevenash]

Profit sharing bonus checks after taxes were a little over 500.00

My buddy offered me NYG +3.5 in a profit sharing (500.00) check bet.

Should I?

I got to 5pm for a response

[allabout the $$$]

fukk yes buy it down to 2.5 with your book great middle opportunity without the juice of buying it to 3.5

[yisman]

obviously

[ApricotSinner32]

You take giants +3.5 +100 for the max and than scalp it with 5dimes taking the jets -3.5 +120.

At $500 though? Is that even worth it?

You get a christmas bonus? Must be nice lol... does your wife know your getting a 500 dollar bonus? Lol if yes no bet... if no rock on brother

Free $50 why not? I don't just play a game because the line is 3 and im getting 3.5.

[k13]

Rather have Jets ML +100 for $500

I guess, if you're not sure about this game.

Frankly, I wouldn't take the +3.5 because I think the Jets cover easily, but that's just me.

No one is offering that.

He's a good guy, been working with him for 4 years now, loves his football, especially the Jets.
We talk football all winter, I told him 'why not just bet it online'? He doesn't like the online hassles.

Terms are set, check for check, (same amount $517) I got the Giants +3.5, stipulation *winner* picks up the tab at Morton's Steak up here in Stamford next Friday night, I figure with steaks and bar tab, should be 240 dollars give or take.

(we are contemplating including his g/f and my wife in on the Morton's deal, there are fringe benefits to that lol)

At 3.5, there can be no push.

Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to arbitrage, feed him forever.

I know a free $50 is a free $50, but most people don't have the means -- or patience -- to arb.

Just bought me some Jets at 5Dimes at +128
If the Giants lose by 4+ I lose my bonus bet, but get that dinner, but I get $512 on a $400 bet from 5Dimes


Sat 12/24 115 New York Giants +3½ -148
1:00PM 116 New York Jets -3½ +128

[allabout the $$$]

so if the giants lose by 4+ u get dinner and lose 7 bucks

buy jets to 2.5-125 jets win by 4+ you win you lose 17 bucks and get dinner jets win by 3 you hit for a dime and have to pay for dinner giants win u lose 88 bucks and have to pay for dinner

you have a 67% chance to come out on top here and with you middling the 3 in a Rivalry game

[yisman]

You shouldn't try to middle or hedge these. Just bet the soft side.

[paranoyd androyd]

exactly, what a stupid stupid move. enjoy the way overpriced steak and your diminished offshore bankroll.

I bought it back (for a fee) I realized 15 minutes later what I did was stupid.

Just got back from Met Life, what a bunch of pissed off Jets fans
