I’m not educated on how to read the spread in terms of betting odds, so correct me if I’m wrong: You’re putting up 5 grand to make 500 bucks on the Sparks winning by at least 3 against the Lynx?
my buddy works for head office, and yeah, its sad. Juniors used to be 2 ounces (1/8th pound), now they’re 1.something. And to make matters worse, they don’t grill the burgers, they use a press (it takes them fucking 50 seconds to cook a junior, and less than 2 minutes to cook a quarter pounder). You dont get no flavour that way. A&W is now my burger of choice, with the exception of certain mom and pops stores. Also Harveys, but I dunno if you yanks have them
Man, you boys would LOVE it if ProLine made it to the States. Gamble on anything, with decent odds, even gamble 2 fucking dollars if you want, and you just need at least 3 games right (and you can bet the spread, or even just simple win/loss/tie, or even which player will have the best game).
He’s betting $5,500 on the Sparks winning, by at least 3 to get $5,000 not $500.
Basically for every $110 he bets he get back $100.
I don’t think anyone would be insane enough to bet $5,500 to try and win $500.
That’s just fucking stupid. I don’t think even Manny Pacquiao’s get that bad of odds, and he’s been pretty much automatic as of late. Hell I don’t think Justin Wong gets odds like that in Marvel 2.
I wish I could find that thread on some forum where some guy put 40K on Fedor to beat Werdum so he could win 6K and buy a watch.
After the fight, and after he lost his savings for a house, he never posted again.
what is up with leeches who only want to hang out cause you got a car?
Don’t worry I got you homie.
Wait wait wait…you bet a bunch of money in order to win less of it back should your win the odds? I’m really confused.
also I just started Dead Space for the first time. That game knows the value of sound. Ships fucking creepy.
Nah, he bet $5500 to win $10500 if he makes the odds.
Then whats the thing with the guy betting 40k so he could win 6k for a watch or something? Also someone said dirt was betting 5,500 to win 5,000…
It’s rather painfully obvious i don’t gamble at all huh?
the way it works, as far as i know, is that if the odds are really in favor of your choice winning the fight, you have to put up a lot more to make anything. since fedor was a huge favorite (presumably, i don’t know) going into the fight, you need to wager a lot more of your money to potentially earn any.
the reverse is also true, the longer the odds against your choice, the sweeter the payout, and the less you need to wager in order to make a good profit
The 40k for 6k was in regards to the infamous Fedor vs. Werdum bet (linked by ckrazy), and the misunderstanding for betting 5.5k to win 5k was corrected by ckrazy as well.
Fedor was the overwhelming favorite to win the fight, since he was like…31-0 or some shit, while Werdum was just an above-average guy.
Put it this way.
Daigo vs Raidantsilvergun3 in a first to 10.
If a bet $100 dollars on Diago I shouldn’t get back $100, because chances are 99.9% of the time Diago is going to beat you in a 1st to 10.
In the situation above where the guy bet 40k to get back 6k is becuase he was betting on a guy that was consider the favorite. The farther the margin of money the bigger the favorite is. As you can see betting 40k, and getting back only 6k means the dude was a HUGE favorite. Unfortunately for this guy, that guy lost.
GGPO.
If you were betting on the other guy and let say you bet 6k you would of won 40k, because he was the underdog.
Here are some examples
-150 = if you bet $150 dollars you win $100. Or if you bet $1.50 you get back $1.
+250 = if you bet $100 dollars you win $250. Or if you bet $1 you get back $2.50.
I think Fedor was -550 or something like that.
Ok I get it. Thanks for the explanation.
Looks like Rsigely won $5,000.
You buying everyone a round?
not only did I post about this on FB but that’s exactly what I got.
Plus with crazy bread and cheese bread. I love the omahan vatos take on lil Caesar’s: put a ton of garlic and Parmesan on it. I could kill more vamps than Blade using just my breath alone, lol. all that for under $20?!
“Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit”, indeed.
honkey, please.
WHAT?
but seriously, why am I not shocked at SRK being full of compulsive gamblers?
I’m ugly at casino’s. I rape blackjack like an elderly asian woman. Just call me mama. No need for diapers though. But the most I ever bet was a grand on a hand of blackjack (scariest moment of my entire fucking life, but I won), and 100 on the luckiest fucking hand of blackjack probably ever. I was dealt a pair of 8’s, I split, got 8’s AGAIN and split, then got three 3’s and a jack. With doubling down, and all the splits, I fucked that dealer hard and dirty that day. And yes, I was dealt 10’s across the board and dealer busted anyways. I can’t believe how easily I was tossing down $100’s to finance that hand though. I scare me sometimes
Sports, I dunno if I could ever bet a fuckton on ONE game though. I’d love to do it sometime though.
And Norm Macdonald bet $25000 on the last Manny fight, on his show. It’s like betting on 80’s Tyson, or Wayne Gretzky Oilers, or Jordan Bulls. You just don’t lose sometimes.
EDIT: also, the main point I meant to ask. Im hammered, but still curious…what is the best way to ‘improve’ ramen. I pretty much just add the water, some spices, hot sauce, and its so fucking bland to me now. Crazy that shit up for me please, I expect awesomeness when I wake up
God dammit. I want an easy 5 k for WNBA games.
If Marn can do it, so can I. I have a little bank saved. I need to go talk to Viscant and Sigley and just start gambling like them.
I’m drunk…
Man, fuck Fedor. He needs to fight in the UFC, I don’t give a crap about him beating up washed up chumps. Until he fights actual top heavyweights, he ain’t shit.
