Pretty Simple Sports Betting Question
Is Bodog any good? I just signed up for them.
Whats the best approach? Trying to bet the spreads? or taking the easy way out and doing the money line? Like lets say I want to bet the steelers over the browns this weekend. The Line is Steelers -7 Browns +7 So if I bet the steelers they would have to win by more then 7 correct? What If I want to take the money line. The steelers are at (-320) on the money line which is a multiplier of 1.31 Does that mean if I bet any amount on the steelers and they win I get what I bet x 1.31? or do they still have to cover the spread? Thanks [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] |

Re: Pretty Simple Sports Betting Question
If you bet the money-line (ML) there is no spread. For every $320 you bet on PIT you will win $100. You don't have to bet $320, but all wins will use the same ratio; i.e. 32:10, etc...
If you take PIT -7 they would have to win by more than 7 for you to win. If they win by exactly by 7, you will push. And if they win by less than 7 or lose, you will lose. I hope this helps. I would read through the FAQ above also. There are a couple of good sites in there that could help you. craig |

Re: Pretty Simple Sports Betting Question
Bodog isn't the best place to bet favorites. They have good lines on underdogs for the most part.
The spread bet is a little better than the money line bet. I have the equivalent moneyline around -300. |

BoDog is awful. If you start winning, they won't pay. One of my friends won a 10-1 parlay and they refuse to pay him.

Naj [/ QUOTE ] I am not saying you are wrong, but I have never heard of them not paying. They deal two lines, they ban players, but from what I have heard, they have paid all their players. If you would like, you can PM me and I will give you my email address. I can probably help your friend out or see what had happened. craig |

Re: Pretty Simple Sports Betting Question
This is what i hate about bodog
1. The lines come out late 2. The lines are inflated (on the flipside this could work for you) 3. If the spread is 3 or less there is no moneyline [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] This is what i like about bodog. 1. I never had a problem with them not paying me. 2. Brook burke is hot! |
