I accidently submitted an If Win only bet and I don't know what it is. It says...

If win only straight bet

[501] Milwaukee +10

Then Straight bet

[508] Memphis +2

Under Risk/Win Column it says 525/500.

What does all that mean???? I just want straight bets!!!

if milw wins then your memphis bet will have action. if milw loses then your memphis bet will virtually never have been placed

How can the second game have action if the the result for the first game will be unknown at the start of the second game?

if milwaukee covers , your second game will count as a bet
milwaukee dont cover in sametime you see memphis is winning, too bad.

What's the benefit of betting "if win" bets? Does it pay better?

I have never played one, but I can see some definite hedging opportunities.

I was reading up on it and seems to me that the only benefit that I can see is that it saves you money if they both lose and if they both lose you only pay juice for one game.

Let's take my example above, if Milwaukee wins then I get $500 from that, then that $500 (plus juice) gets placed on Memphis and if Memphis wins then I win a flat $1000 for both bets. But lets say Milwaukee wins but Memphis loses. Then I pay the juice for the memphis bet for $25 dollars.

But if the Bucks lose then both bets get cancelled and I lose -525.

I DON"T LIKE IT!!!
