Intertops stake-back promotion

[MicroBob]

In the DAL-CHI game they are giving you your 'stake-back' (up to $100) on any losing 'winning-margin' bets if there are no points scored in the 3rd quarter.

Figure there's a 20% chance or so that no points will be scored in the 3rd Q and, unless I'm just not figuring it very well, I think it's probably a decent deal.

Thinking of taking the Bears to win by 7-12 points at 6:1.


Thoughts??


the other stake-back game:

refund stake on all losing 1st TD Scorer bets (up to $100) in IND v DET if IND receiver Marvin Harrison scores the first TD of the game.
I put the odds of this happening lower than the chances that DAL and CHI go scoreless in the 3rd Q....but it still probably makes these bets reasonable as well I suspect.
Unless they have adjusted the odds on these bets to correspond with the likelihood of these stake-back events happening.

Am I just a sucker for thinking these are interesting?

I realize that I am responding a bit late, but my thoughts were that the CHI/DAL game featured such wretched teams that this angle might have been worth pursuing.

Good to see that you got bailed out by the ineptitude of both offenses.

Yep. That's what I thoguht.

DAL/CHI indeed DID go scoreless in the 3rd Q so I got my bets back.

I took DAL to win by 1-6 points at 4.5:1 and I took CHI to win by 7-12 points at 6:1.

Obviously neither came through (DAL won by 14) but after the scoreless 3rd Q I was free-rolling so it wasn't such a bad idea to take a shot.
