1) BET ID=136066181
Straight Wager 11/30/05 22:25 ET
Result: Pending
Coyotes(Phoenix) 1
MightyDucks(Anaheim) 6 11/30/05 (22:35 ET)
Over 5.5 (Even)

now if i understand correctly, over 5.5 means the game will have over 5.5 goals right?? how is it 5.5? half a goal? can someone explain that to me?

and the game has over 6 goals right now, so i won right? or am i a stupid n00b?

dropped9 · 11-30-2005, 11:05 PM

I have absolutely no clue when it comes to sports betting. But here is a bump for you...

boneprone · 11-30-2005, 11:05 PM

yeah you won..
5.5 means exactly what it means. over 5.5 points..

That 0.5 is there to prevent a push or a tie.

Ecksent · 11-30-2005, 11:05 PM

Yes. You did win. I think.

sonofsam · 11-30-2005, 11:06 PM

same here, though any gambling is fun.. and boneprone seems to know his picks, so i decided to give it a shot

artman · 11-30-2005, 11:06 PM

edit-nevermind!

Ecksent · 11-30-2005, 11:06 PM

But yes, you are still a stupid noob....like me.

Yea im big into casion gamblin.. love the slots, craps, etc etc etc... Just never did any sports betting...

ElConquistador · 11-30-2005, 11:07 PM

don't bet on sports.

you have better odds in the stock market

sonofsam · 11-30-2005, 11:07 PM

w00t

cool shit

Ecksent · 11-30-2005, 11:08 PM

I got screwed on the Over/Under, but I think I did well on the spread. The only thing is, you have to winn ALL the games you pick or you screwed. Freakin Goverment!!!

slots? you little fairy!

if you're going to go to the casino, at least play holdem...

and when you feel like just having a blast and losing your money.. play roulette... stacking chips is hella fun

sonofsam · 11-30-2005, 11:10 PM

Dirty F · 11-30-2005, 11:11 PM

Yah but how much are you going to get paid out with the mutual fund compared to the sports bet?

people in porn are usually about the fast money, and then they take the fast money and invest in long term things

(from what i've seen so far anyways)

Sosa · 11-30-2005, 11:28 PM

Would any of you be betting if boneprone didn't list his picks on GFY?

It depends. From that perspective, yes the sportsbet is better.
Guys that know sports and bet, can make money... but I would guess that a lot of them do it more for fun then strictly as an investement vehicle...they enjoy it. That's the other main difference between sportsbets and stocks. People like following players/teams, watching SportsCenter, it's all fun. Reading company profiles and performance histories, P/E ratios, assessing management, and following the market isn't as much fun as beer and a flying pigskin.

So I bet -3 for the Seahawks(Seattle) on Monday night like boneprone said. What exactly does that -3 mean?

sonofsam · 11-30-2005, 11:57 PM

yah i'd like to know as well

Sosa · 12-01-2005, 12:08 AM

-3 means that the seahawks must win by more then 3 for you to win. If they win by 3 it will be a push.

me and the ex owner of dansmovies.com (don't know his gfy handle) were joking about that earlier... we were both trying to figure out the terminology... my extent of sports knowledge is knowing the team names and just the top players names

whichever team is +3 is getting 3 points then. So they can still lose by less than 3 and cover. If they win you win, if they lose by more then 3 you lose. Lose by 3, and it is a push..

at the same time, it cost you money since the odds will drop significantly..
