Yea, hopefully people bet responsibly and never more than they can afford to loose. This is probably the first and one of the most important lessons any aspiring sports bettor needs to learn.
I also hope that Kid won't feel bad if someone blames him for their own mistakes, some people just can't handle gambling and would surely have found something else to loose their 10-unit bankroll on.
But yea, seems like we're more on wave-length than I first thought ;)
BOL to you all!

For all the people that are no familiar with reverse action, hopefully this will make sense.
Lets say you did a 2 team reverse action wager on team A and team B. You are risking $220 ($110 on each team)
If team A wins the bet (just the $110 bet) from team A will be carried over to team B. If team A loses you lose $110.
Similarly, if team B wins, the bet from team B will be carried over to team A. If team B loses you lose $110.
The possible scenarios
Both teams lose: Lost $220
One team wins: Lose 120
Both teams win: Win $400.
When KK says betting 3000 to win 12000, its misleading. Hes actually risking $6600 to win 12000.
Hopefully this helps.
GL all.

Now when I select that along with 2-3 picks, I have to choose between "Single action" and "Double action" on each individual pick. However this doesn't seem to influence the payback or the stake. Also if I choose two picks @ -110 and type in a "unit stake" of 3K, it only says the total stake is 6K and not the 6,6K I've read in this thread - it says the max return is 16.9K with 2 bets at standard juice.
So am I on to the right thing and if so should I choose Single or Double action (can't tell what this changes).
Sorry for my stupid questions, made this profile just to ask. I've been lurking for 3-4 months so big thanks to Khmerkid and the handfull of other awesome NBA cappers on this forum!
Action reverse bets will only let you pick 2 picks. So if you're doing an if-bet it's a totally different bet and your bet will only be alive if you win your first one, then it moves to the next pick and so on. The payout is not the same and not nearly as high as an action reverse. I'm not sure how it works on Bet365 hope this helped some

i work in a casino in Vegas. have posted in a number of threads. saw the high views and looked in here. regarding your comment above, yes, we got HUGE money by some SERIOUSLY reputable handicappers on this game. thus the line moved. makes a lot of sense this game as Noah is not playing and he is a tremendous piece to the defensive scheme of Chicago. no interior defense for both teams and jameer nelson is back so this should be a fun up and down game. just letting you know good luck in the games.

Thanks for answering, at least now I know that Bet365 doesn't have the option of doing reverse action bets. I'm not really a big parlay fan to begin with as there is plenty of variance in betting singles. However I don't wanna totally limit myself to those and miss out on profit.
I think I will end up just playing the 2 team reverse action parlays as straight parlays for a low unit count. The result shouldn't be too different in the long run at the same lines (at least that is my initial thought).
Sorry for clogging up the thread :O

When you say HUGE money by reputable cappers. How much is considered huge? Couple million or few hundred thousand? Was always curious how much it takes for the line to move. Thanks man!

Amount makes a difference but not as much as person placing the bet.

its a few people and a few hundred thousand. gonna be tough to hit any of the 3 POD's to be honest. just on the wrong side and it seems like a lot of people blind tailing. its never just free money so he was probably due though i really hope the Spurs kill the Bucks and maybe the UNDER will hit that way. if not that game will be over in the 3rd quarter.
