EASY MONEY - I THINK? what am i missing here?

BROMOx · Oct 17, 2004

OK, along with the rest of the free world, I like Minnesota tonight -3.5. I have been pondering putting in the following props at Pinnacle.

$1000 to spend

$500 Minnesota wins by >1/2 and < 12.5 (+160)
$300 Minnesota wins by 11-13 points (+1250)
$200 Minnesota wins by >13.5 points (+280)

If Minesota wins by 1-10: +$300
If Minesota wins by 11-12: +$3000
If Minesota wins by 13: +$1700
If Minesota wins by 14+: +$140

I guess I lose $1000 if they lose straight up. Risking too much?

Maybe play some of the +172 on NOrleans moneyline. There seems to be guaranteed (or very close) money in there somewhere if the math is broken down right.

fuzzy math dude...

you would need to wager ~580 on NO ML to get your 1K back should NO win

Now, if Minny wins by 0.5 to 12.5 which is quite likely if they win, you would lose 580, 500, for a total of -1.08K but would win 800, so net loss of 280.

If Minny wins by 11 or 12, you're doing the funky dance

Keep your bets as is if you like the Vikes, personally I am on NO +4.5

I actually just ended up parlaying the Vikes first half (which just won) with the Yankees (which just fell behind).

I want to root for the Sox, but now that the money is on the game, I'm rooting for the sweep. If Pinnacle gives me a chance to lay off some on the Sox (2nd half play or something), I may take it.

i dont like to get cocky but easy money was on the over 27.5 2nd half at pinny. they were dumb for not setting it at 28 they will get hammered on the over
