Basicily to bet -145 means to WIN 100.00 you have to bet 145.00 .
So if he wins he gets 100.00 PLUS his 145.00 stake back giving him 245 back.if he losses he loses 145.00

Cool… thanks belgamo, that make sense now. :capmiami:
Hi,
the reason for making such a bet is because you believe they will win but not cover the spread.
actually its a very wise choice because the guys making the spreads are seldom wrong.
that said: i’m quite certain the odds makers take this into consideration and if they offer $100 back on a $150 bet ….. in the long run you’re going to come out ahead.
only very, very smart betters come out ahead on any bet. taking into the equation of 10% juice etc …. whatever it is that effects a payout …… the odds makers …. know what they’re doing and in the long run ….. you’ll usually beat the player.
hope that helps.

yes Sometimes he wins, like tonight,
but when I look at my earnings over a month period, I usually come out ahead. Otherwise I wouldn’t be in this gig.when I look at my earnings over a month period, I usually come out ahead.
