bettting!!! i have a brain clog:
 

what does it mean when a team is -4?

how much do they have to win by to win the bet?

Besides poker, are there any games @ the casino one could live off?
 

So there are a few poker players who are so good they can actually live off it and even better, get rich from it.
Is it possible with other games?

fuck..i wanted to start a new thread.

A very select few win sports betting over long periods of time. A very very few have the patience to count cards in blackjack to play the slow and steady win. Everything else is pretty well impossible to beat without cheating.

If a team has -4 next to them, then that means they have to win by 5 to cover the bet. If they win by 4 its considered a tie and most casinos return your bet.

I think you are looking at Pitt. in the Superbowl, huh?

Easy way to remember

Baltimore -2 means you have to subtract 2 points from their final score.

Baltimore 5 Boston 4 turns into Baltimore 3 Boston 4.

basically means they are the favorite and need to win by atleast 4.

+4 means they are the underdog, and if you add 4 to their final score and they win, then you win.

Date & Time Favorite NFL Spread Underdog
2/5 6:30 ET Pittsburgh -4 Seattle

Pittsburgh has to win by more then 4 points if you bet on them.

This is a tuff fucking spread honestly. And going to be one tuff fucking game. I think.. I might root for Pittsburgh and bet on Seattle. I dont think Pits is going to beat the spread.

what happen if the score is Baltimore 7 Boston 5 and the final score thenw ould be 5 - 5, what would happen?

is it a tie?

(i know people posted just seeing who says what here, i have a major brainclog)

Yeah most bookeepers count it as a tie and give you your bet back.

I thought you were in the betting game before? NFL always taking the Broncos
