    Again, I don't know if you're being serious. I had to win 500 on OKC +2.5 and I get out of it because if I felt like taking OKC, I could have them +5.5, and you tell me it's a dumb move. lol ok.

    So if I choose +5.5 over +2.5 I'm being a "pussy"?

    Why don't you start a new thread and enlighten everyone to these revolutionary concepts.

    This is why books always win even when they offer things like these. Especially in NBA.

    No, I go by the book in blackjack. You hit on 12.

    Again, please start a thread explaining why betting a team at +2.5 is better than betting them +5.5.

    yisman if you can prove u put 500 down on oklahoma city 2nd half -.5 then you are completely correct.......but i have a feeling you didn't and that makes your surrender of the initial play a bad move. period end of story.

    No, because no matter what you're betting for the second half, any intelligent person would get out of the original bet. They then have the option of betting the same amount (or more) on OKC +5.5 for the game, or staying away.

    I am still anxiously awaiting your thread.

    your +5.5 vs +2.5 is irrelevant if you didnt take the +5.5

    so yisman "mr sharp" you can start a thread telling all of us how +5.5 (with no money on it ) is better than +2.5 (with 500 on it) after oklahoma city covers the +2.5

    More times than most these games are very close and decided in the last minute if not seconds. Great offer but very tough games to pick.

    Anyone know what happened to this guy? He seems to have disappeared. Wasn't OKC +2.5 a guaranteed winner?

    Maybe i am missing something but if you bet $500 on the 1st Half and got your cash back wouldn't you have at least that $500 to bet on the 2nd Half ?I'm not sure how he thought you had no cash on 2nd Half if you got your $500 back.And turns out it was the right move anyway congrats on your win.

    I cashed a $500 winner on Miami yesterday--basically a no-brainer to keep my bet with the Heat up by 6 at HT. For those that bet OKC, it was equally a no-brainer to dump the bet. Shocked that someone can't comprehend the concept--wish I was their bookie!

    PS Thanks, Heritage.

    This is one of the dumbest things I've read on this site. The guy had +2.5, when the current halftime line was +5.5. WHY would he keep the bet when he could put the entire amount (plus more if wanted) on +5.5? Am I missing something? Cause if not, you have no clue what you are talking about.
