Brentastic Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Not sure what the odds are on these games but I just made the following 2 bets with a buddy. Both games I'm getting 3-1 odds, my $50 to my buddy's $150 for each game. So if I win both bets, I come away with $300. Subsequently, if I lose both bets, I payout just $100. So what are the bets? I'm betting on the 49ers and the Broncos to win outright. No spread, just outright wins on both of those games. What do you think, huddle? Smart bet by m? Stupid? I personally think the Saints will face the Patriots in the SB, so in that respect the bet makes little sense. I just liked the odds and I only need one of those two teams to win for me to make out ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooby's Hubby Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 you ripped yourself off severely... money line on bronco alone is 5.5 to 1 SF ML is 1.45 so then you multiply those together then multiply that number by 2.5 b/c of the parlay you should be getting better than 10 to 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're two separate bets so he's getting a bad deal on the Broncos and a good deal on SF. Split the two down the middle and you should've gotten about 3.5 to 1, but it's generally fair.

MTSuper7 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 All you need is one of those two teams to win and you are up $50. Seems like a decent bet to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brentastic Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) not saying whether your picks to win are smart, that aside your odds is how you ripped yourself off, no offense to you or your buddy No offense taken. That's why I posted this. I tried to look up odds from my phone before taking that bet but couldn't find anything. This buddy of mine and myself always make wild and crazy bets but I usually like to know if I'm getting the good deal or not. Obviously now that the games have ended, it worked out for me since I came out of the bet up $100 but it was damn close. That SF game was INTENSE!!
