i should have looked betting trends but never do when no cash to bet, thanks to game 5 ans 6. the lakers in in gsme six madde alot of people skiddish i'm sure.

[ChalkyDog]

+6? -1.5 everywhere. You must have paid an insane amount of juice.

Making sure you basically have lakers ML.

[ebbearsfb1]

its only juice if you lose



if the home team in game 5 is up 3-1 series record is like 136-2 or something


going to bed

Nice bet.

Although i do find it funny that people believe " you only pay juice when you lose". Truth is you only pay juice when you win.

[ebbearsfb1]

How so?

Some math geeks have posted over the years how winners pay the juice

short version : losers risk 110 & lose 110 ; winners risk 110 get paid 100

Think about it this way, if the spread is right, there is a 50/50 chance of a bettor being on the right side. When you take the bet you bet $110 (or $105 or whatever depending on the line) but only get a chance to win $100. If it were fair, you'd be $100 to get $100. That $10 is "paid" when you take the bet, winning or losing is irrelevant.

Could understand if your betting to risk.. but not if your betting to win

This.

It's theoretical math type stuff. I kind of understand it. And have accepted it, because people much more mathmatically gifted, and sharper than me have said so.

[UntilTheNDofTimE]

If you bet a -1000 favorite on the ML and it wins. You are paying 10/1 Juice. You wagered 1,000 and your only getting 100 back. You paid that juice.

When you loose. You wagered 1,000 and you lost 1,000. The line is irrelevant. It could have been -65,000 or +10,000. You lost you wager amount and no juice was paid/given on your wager.

Of course i realize where your comming from. If you believe a wager is a lock the juice your paying is irrelevant but your still paying it on all your wins. If you were paying no juice you would receive winnings that matched your wager amount.

[ebbearsfb1]

Everyone has a different opinion on it I guess

[PickWinnerAllDay]

I see both viewpoints. They are both valid. A -120 bet that wins consistently is a lot better than an even bet that doesn't.

[ebbearsfb1]

Agree... pickawinner... I would rather bet a minus 115 that wins 6 out of 10 times that should be minus 105 ... that is considered minus even... then a team who is plus 115 that should be even that wins 4 out of 10 times and is considered plus even.... every person is gonna consider things differently

[Jayvegas420]

Are you kinda hedging on the $500 your in for on the Nugs ML?

[UntilTheNDofTimE]

Its a easier example from a sportsbooks standpoint.

Lets say player 1 bets on a -1000 favorite
player 2 bets on a different -1000 favorite

Player 1 wager is lost. The sportsbook then pays him 1100. Hes only collecting 1100 and not 2,000 because he paid that price to place the wager.

Ebb its not a opinion thing whether the line is -101 -150, -200, -80000 or -10000000 the winner of the wager is the one who pays the juice. The loser simply loses his risk amount.

I considered trying to chase my loses on game 5 and 6 with a CC deposit/bet. Refrained from doing it. I hope the lakers get smoked in the next matchup! (nothing to do with betting) Watching KOBE makes me SICK. I'm not a fan of ANY sports team, just love betting.
