I thought you get what amount you place down back along with the amount won? wtf

Please show the actual bet. However, from the info you gave the answer is "YES" you should receive your 15.54 plus your 15 back.

i know the -2800 is obviously a sure win as i placed it when vancouver was up 5-2 in the third period but i just want to make sure i'm not getting screwed over here.

i know people who bet on sports and they told me you're suppose to get the amount you bet back along with the amount won from that bet which is why i don't get why only 15.54 is in my account.

At thies odds U where risking $15.0 to win 0.54

$15 to win .54------maybe playing at Intertops or sportsinteraction. they show you the payout. $15 risk $15.54 payout. if that is the right odds=-2800 then this is the correct payout=$15.54 for a $15 risk..

gilbert91016 · 12-02-10, 12:38 AM

So it's right you won 54cents

Lint Pockets · 12-02-10, 12:40 AM

yes it was at sportsinteraction. i kind of thought that had to be right since it was -2800 but like i said i'm new to betting sports and just wanted to make sure i wasnt getting taken advantage of. thanks for all the replies i appreciate it.

Congrats you did win .54 cents... You did better than i did.. I freaking lost a bundle on laker show and spurs... both of them suck, and i hope both of them go on a 4 game losing streak...!!!

-2800 is american odds ,not the decimals .You can change the odds format (top right corner) .

Cheers GL.

Sounds a bit optimistic to think it´s possible to more than double your money by betting a hockey team that is ahead by three in the third...

vercer · 12-02-10, 08:01 AM

5-2 in hockeys third period and odds higher than 2

, wouldnt be surprised if bookie like bet911 would offer that though

nice 14 post count.

Welcome to the world of sportsbetting... good luck.

Didn´t mean to offend anyone, I just used other words to say "whatever seems to be to good to be true probably is". And it´s quite an understatement to say that this question falls into that category.

I had no idea you can´t say something like that with only a few posts. Obviously 63 is fine so now I know. Thanks for teaching me the importance of post count!
