Does anyone do this?

Hi,

I'm just curious to know if anyone does this?

Say the line is -115. As an example if you risk 9, you can win 8.

Do some of you put in 3 bets of Risk 3 - Win 3 instead?

Let me know.

Thanks!!

In Vegas, they break it down, so you can not do that. If it doesn't give the house an edge, you probably will not be able to do it.

Well it seems to work for me at SBGGLOBAL. I've been doing it and it seems to work fine. Maybe I didn't look into the actual results. I don't know.

if this really does work..wait till there is + money ona line..say +110 and bet this way to beat them out of guranteed 1$ for every 5 wagered on both sides...so 10%-20% guranteed..no losses.

for example.

team A -130 bet 1$ to win 1$ ten times so 10 wins 10

Team B +110 bet 5$ wins 6$ twice so 10 wins 12

so u have a break even or possible 2$ so 20% on as many units u do this on.


interesting...now if SBG could pay people i might consider signing up for some guranteed cashola.

im sure they would stiff u if u did this enough times..lol

gl with it

No it would work 5$ to Win 6$. I checked it out.

For Team A - You could do it in shots of 2$.

I won't really do it cause I don't know what happens if you get caught!

The only way the books will let you do that is if you only make the bet once. At -110 odds you can bet $5 to win $5 but if you bet more than one time they will add them all together. And this only works at books that round up or round down the payoffs. And there are not a whole lot of those.
