is Jim at Betislands high? (someone please clear this up)

FourLengthsClear · 11-11-11, 04:26 PM

You are right, he was wrong.

housecloud · 11-11-11, 04:30 PM

Thanks. nothing against you Jim.. haha.. I shouldn't have even had to double-check.. the reason I did was to make sure I'm wagering the full balance and not partial on Scotland..because it doesn't say anything about it in the ticket, and the phone call was kind of cutting out haha..

I thought an if bet your second wager was only what your first wager was or less, so if you had 120 to win 100, your Scotland bet would only be 120 to win roughly 130. Final Balance $350

anybody else?

oChRoNiCo · 11-11-11, 05:43 PM

Well some sites will let you determine if you want to roll over the entire amount or just the original or even smaller I assume that he selected roll over everything I know this is an option on 5dimes I do not know about Betislands however.

Wrong.

Your if bet is for $100, and your then bet was also $100. You don't get to shoot the whole bet+winnings.

You are able to decide how much you want to risk on the second leg up to the full amount (risk+win) from the first leg. I assumed from the OP that he did exactly that.

Do it

Question to OP: Were you high when you bought a 1/2 point with the NYG +4? Since when did 4 become a key number in football?

housecloud · 11-11-11, 06:41 PM

wow nobody seems to know for sure.. Jim finally agreed on the $451... and even he didn't seem very sure about it..

wrongturn · 11-11-11, 06:57 PM

This is the rule:
· The amount of any of the conditional (if bets) wagers cannot exceed the amount of the original straight play.

Did you specify the wager amount when entering the then bet?
Looks like you only have $120 (or $100) in action on the second leg, but can not be $220. Not all employees know every rule since it is a new book. You may want to PM Jon to clarify.

4 certainly is not has as key as 3 or 7 is but 3, 4, 6, 7, 10, 13, 14, 17, 20, 21, 24 are all key numbers in football.

I have a dumb ass local book that let's me buy on or off ANY number for .05 cents. Long term a money maker.

Great deal if you can get it--you should be cleaning up. My point was why does the OP pay 10 cents for a number (4) worth about 6 cents? And then he questions Jim about his intelligence?

housecloud · 11-11-11, 08:53 PM

I'm not questioning Jim about his Intelligence, I'm questioning whether or not he was high today..btw I absolutely LOVE betislands...so if it seems like I'm giving them a bad name at all I'd like my post to be deleted. I'm just trying to clear this up, that's all...Also... I called their wagering line.. and my balance will be $451 if the NYG cover +4.5....

BTW.. I don't usually buy half a point here.. I just have a strange feeling that it's going to be a REALLY close game..and it might make a big difference in this situation..I see one of the teams winning between 1-6 points...

Got it all figured out. thanks. should have just called them..MY BAD. I take the blame here. SORRY Jim!

No prob. Glad it worked out for you.

this is the correct answer...seeing as how you already won the 2nd wager, it works in your favor they don't know the rules

11 is calling asking what's up. If you're going to do 13 and three numbers the point-spreads don't reach he's wondering how he got left out. In fact better hope 1 and 2 don't catch word of this post either as they'll be calling next.

princecharles · 11-12-11, 03:06 AM

jim's a good guy...i look forward to his voice mails

astrodomer · 11-12-11, 04:15 AM

iceminers26 · 11-12-11, 04:57 PM
