Bookie error in my favor?

[JR7302001]

I played a parlay earlier today, I took philly and the over which was 8. Well the final score total was 8. Shouldn't I have lost on the parlay? They paid me the the total amount, just confusing to me. Do I factor this in on my win/lost column, or don't post it at all?

you should have won straight bet, if you bet 100 to win 260 on the parlay you win 100 b/c of the push on the over

[Romanowski]

a push is no play on a parlay

so you were paid the same as a straight wager on the phillies

[JR7302001]

yes as i look at it now, I was payed for the wage put on the phillies. I thought ties lose though on a parlay?

[be47320]

nope

nope ties count as PUSH. For example 3 teamer becomes 2 teamer if one of your picks ties.

some dirtbag locals do ties lose a parlay but i think all offshore books do it this way, or most do anyway

[JR7302001]

I see now, If I lose on one part of the parlay, I lose the card. If I tie, I push.

Ah , I remember my first parlay too, that was a fun day

correct ...... but just like upinya83 stated some locals do count ties as a loss , but if they paid you like you said then you're OK

yeah if you push one part it just reverts down to the next lower wager.

if you have a 5 teamer and one pushes, it becomes a 4 teamer

if its a 2 teamer and one pushes, it becomes a straight wager

hope that makes sense

[JR7302001]

My old bookie was like that.

[JR7302001]
