it obviously technically matters, but I'm sure he means like who gives a shit if the actual dollar amount itself is low.

Gotta love pillow talk, right JJ?

Look on the bright side though J... make up sex is always great!

its all relative and percentage based. nothing changes. Unless you are betting over your head. But then you are dumb to begin with

Is there juice in winning?

Bcatswin · 01-24-12, 08:04 PM

jjgold · 01-24-12, 08:06 PM

If you make 200 bets per year and save 11 cents juice per bet how much is that??

Yo're right, man. Why fight stupid? Some guy once said "no one goes broke underestimating intelligence." Or something like that. Maybe I'll start a website and invite some of these guys to stop by.

tongue in cheek

mathdotcom · 01-24-12, 08:56 PM

jj why didnt you just tell him that there's no juice when you win

SportsMushroom · 01-24-12, 09:00 PM

it matters because the higher the juice, the higher the break even point

the whole 'only losers pay juice' crap only comes out of the mouth of dumbasses, when you lose, you lose the same amount no matter the juice, when you win, juice determines your return

so the truth is that 'only winners pay juice' or better yet 'only winners pay low juice'

and anyhow why would you settle for a lower price? you lose thousands of dollars by getting a bad price, if you get 10 cent worst odds on every bet, and bet 1,000 per bet, that means you lose 100 dollars on every wager, if you win 200 wagers during the year thats 20,000 you just gave away

and if you are playing at a book with bad odds, its 100% certain that you are playing at a recreational book, which means you are not making sh it gambling

TobiasFunke · 01-24-12, 10:37 PM

LOL $20 to some is the same as $100....so yes, it does matter to some people.

vyomguy · 01-24-12, 10:40 PM

juice is juice...regardless if you bet 10k or 10 dollars.

jjgold, one of the great thinkers of his day.

That is why I like NFL playoffs. Lots of people to find and wager against your picks. Milk them for the extra 0.5 -1 point and no juice on the bet. Just have to make sure you can find and kick the shyytt out of them later if they don't pay up.

To a guy trying to turn a profit it would matter more when your bankroll only allows $20 bets..

To the striaght gamblers just betting the home team or whatever probably go broke too fast for low juice to help much.

At -110, you have to hit 53% to be profitable.
At -105, you have to hit 52% to be profitable.

Stakes do not matter.

The Kraken · 01-25-12, 12:32 AM

Guys hitting 52% suck dick to pay rent. Guys hitting 53% party with chicks and get free blow.

jjgold · 01-25-12, 01:22 AM

Thanks men

good stuff

ACoochy · 01-25-12, 01:55 AM

$100 gambler at -110 playing 1 game per day will lose $3650 over 1 year to juice.

Think of the money you'd save by getting the +EV number.

If u wager at -110 then ur working for the books. The end

JJ you aint got ANY friends bud! LOL

ThaWoj · 01-25-12, 03:39 AM

who cares jj buried the whole forum today with daddys bobcats play.
only a few sharps on here took the knicks. they knew how to read into all the politics.

but anyways juice really makes more of a difference comparing short term and long term instead of low bet size/high bet size

warriorfan707 · 01-25-12, 03:43 AM

If you're betting a lot of games, then sure even at 20$ a pop juice matters.

The goal is always to make a profit, therefore by that rationale even if you were to risk 11 cents to win 10 then the juice matters.

From a financial standpoint it would be different for everyone. It would matter more to some than others.
