NFL 09' strategic wagering...

Please answer A. or B.

Try to look at 5Dimes.
They have two types of Superteasers, one that reduce on a tie and one that lose on a tie.

From 5Dimes:

Teaser - ties reduce - football 13 pts
4 out of 4 pays -130

This is the kind of superteasers used in this thread.

It reduces all the way to a straight bet on one leg.
In case there are 4 ties the bet is canceled.

"Unambiguous" ? your in-ability to comprehend a "release sheet" produced by a seasoned handicapper with credentials, and documentation dating back 8seasons, who has prepared thousands of release sheets,published globally pertaining to the NFL, identical to the one in this thread, but yet, because of your clear frustration, you try to regulate this thread. i am not here to answer 'quiz' questions; door A or door B, am I corresponding with a little kid? how old ARE YOU? how many NFL seasons have you capped? are you a boy or a girl? how many units have you captured this year? ARE YOU DOCUMENTED ANYWHERE? do you even make wagers? do you administer the Matchup_Performance formula connected to the NFL? did you have ATL yesterday? What about tonight, who do you lean on? are you taking the over? Can the Denver D hold at sea level? Can Rivers be contained?  stick around, you may educate yourself, and become successful while doing so....And just maybe, someone will pop up and explain to you out of compasion, how to read a sports_Network ReleaseSheet NFL; because I am not going to based upon the fact that the answer is repititive through out the thread;  take it easy little fella

SN

Hi kreatture

Thank you for offering your help.

I'm in doubt about SN's pick for tonight.

Chargers-160 ML / 8units

Is 8 units the risk amount or the win amount?

SN deals in whole numbers when it comes to payouts.. looking back at all his selections you can easily tell how many Units he is always 'risking', and how many is 'to win'.

8 (units)  /  1.6 (odds)  =  5

8 Units risked to win 5

---------------------------------------------------------------------

If he had listed Chargers-160 ML / 5units

5 (units)  /  1.6  (odds)  =  3.125


Well you know he isn't risking 5 Units to win 3.125, cuz it's not a whole number, so you would know he is playing 'to win' 5 Units in that case, which would be a risk of 8 Units.

Just remember.. if you calculate both ways and get a decimal number for a payout, then that's not the correct play.
Units 'to win' are always whole numbers.




Cheers 

I just woke up, so yes, feeling compassion has the best of me at the moment..

As we get closer to game time, the teeth will become sharper and compassion will be left at the door 


Nice to see you're on San Diego tonight, as I have them as well.

San Diego by 10 ..   27-17


Cheers 

Nice Job

Thank you.

So you are saying that SN is risking 8 units to win 5 units. Right?

The reason I was in doubt is that it could possibly mean risk 12.8 units to win 8 units.

You are telling me that when SN uses whole numbers, it refers to payout amount.

Look at post #280

MINN / ML  5units...win

Here 5 units (a whole number) apparently was the win amount.

didn't we have this encounter with the Dallas game? i believe the Broncos won, tonight should be a different story, enjoy the game

 

single best post i have ever read on this site. no lie, or in other words not what sn does...love all the child refrences in his chiding of questioneres just like many of his odd speaking defenders. this is so transparent. seriously hilarious.

I don't know man, I think you are wrong. You want to make yourself believe that is how it works, but I really don't think it is.

How can you justify his play earlier in the season in Week 3 I believe when it was documented Dallas -380 ML / 38 Units.

This is another example where it is a whole number and can be the amount he is trying to win, or the amount that is bet and works out to be another whole number (+10 units). He ended up winning this very large play that week, and he did not claim +38 units. He claimed +10 units for that play. This is the exact same example, as tonight's play, but this one was a much larger play. If he documents in the way you guys say, why wouldn't he take the +38 units?

I'm not sure how SN will document this play, that's why I asked him.
You read his non-answer.

We have an opinion from kreatture, saying 8 units risked to win 5.
But he just woke up and thought the alternative is risk 5 units to win 3.125 units.

At least he showed some compassion with me, that is more than SN did. But it's always funny to read him.

Let's hope he will calm down and answer my question in a civilized manner before kick off.

LoL .. no no, the alternative is not to risk 5 Units to win 3.125 .. I was just using 5 as an example to get a odd looking number as a payout.

The only times SN gets an odd looking number on a payout are on his teasers, which have always been posted 'risk' - 'to win'

You should be able to look at the ML and easily figure out what the # of Units posted means. They always divide into it evenly.

Anyways.. enough of this for tonight. I'm off to do some serious multi-tasking of watching the Dodger game, and Charger game.

Enjoy the game everyone

Bring on the beer! 

  Gone for a few days, and yet I can plainly see somthing nevre change..   Like SN put its ARE YOU RETARDED or are you here just to put shit in the game....What difference does it matter how little or how much a person places his unit wager.......It is his money, his wager..........UNLESS OF COURSE YOU ARE PAYING HIS EXPENSES.   Grow Up and Beat Meat

The purpose of this forum is to share winning picks, systems, and strategies with everyone else so we can all hopefully  win.  And unit size indicates strength of the play.  By posting here with proven winning results over time, you have to assume you are gaining supporters who follow, so it is not just "his money".  That is the point in posting here, to help other people win as well.  If he or anyone else is posting their picks solely to toot their own horn, then they just shouldn't post at all.

I really don't care either way, this is just a observation from a neutral point of view.  I just find it ridiculous that is how you are justifying things with "What difference does it matter how little or how much a person places his unit wager.......It is his money, his wager".  I can understand where abra is coming from and why he would be insulted.  SN should just make it clear in his posts to avoid this nonsense unless there is some ulterior motive to being intentionally vague about what the unit number stands for.  Not everyone here is a professional.  Like I said, I am not trying to bash SN or anything, just an observation.
