Please someone help me make this Action Reverse more understanding to me!!! I may need your help Wilheim!

[SizzleChest]

OK, I am gving a scenario I went through last night with BetJamaica and I want someone to give me the solution and please give me some better understanding.


Lets say I make a 2 team Action Reverse wager by risking 300 dollars. By risking 300 dollars with two teams of different values I somehow manage to come up with the following scenario.

1. Team A is a +107 and I risk 300 to win 321 dollars.
2. Team B is a -155 and I risk 465 to win 300 dollars.

Question number one is how much should be at risk and withdrawn from my account to begin with in this wager?
Question number two is if Team A wins and Team B loses, what does that leave me with in an action reverse bet?

I want to know what it should be and I will follw up with what I was left with. I have a difficult time seeing this wager and final result was done correctly and if it was I'd like it to be explained further to me.

Thanks to any and all who can answer this sensibly.

It appears that 765 should come out of your account because that is the most you can lose.

2 losers = -765
A Loser = -300
B Loser = -609
2 Winners= +1243 + risk obviously

I'm new to these too, but if I understand correctly you are risking a possible (300+465)=$765 in case both Team A and B lost.

If Team A won and Team B lost (your example) I think your figure would be (321-465-465)=-$609

If Team B won and Team A lost, (-300+300-300)=-$300

2-0 would net you (321+300+300+321)=$1242

 

[Higgs]

Thats correct goodcall. Both our numbers matchup.

what exactly is an action reverse bet?

 

[SizzleChest]

Thanks guys. That cleared it up for me, but it doesn't help it make any more sense. A two team parlay would be a much better method because the only way to make any money is to win both plays. Also, my advice is to only do an action reverse with two straight wagers with -110 or less. If you throw a heavy chalk play and it loses, you are screwed over in this which is what happened to me. My play went exactly as described and I was left with 321 dollars which I couldn't understand how I split them and lost so much money, but your explanation tells me how. Thanks again

Action Reverse
An Action Reverse wager connects two contestants in two separate IF bets. The wagered amount will stay consistent on all parts of the action reverse. The first IF would connect contestant A to contestant B, the second bet would connect contestant B to contestant A. Remember, there is a straight play, along with an IF play on each team.

For example, if a person wants a $100 Action Reverse with the Miami Dolphins -6, and the Chicago Bears +3 the play would look like this.

IF BET 1: Miami Dolphins -6 Risking $110 to win $100, If that play wins or pushes then there will be action on the Chicago Bears +3 risking $110 to win $100. If the Miami Dolphins don't cover the -6 spread then there will be no action on the Chicago Bears +3.

AND

IF BET 2: Chicago Bears +3 risking $110 to win $100, if that play wins or pushes then there will be action on the Miami Dolphins -6 risking $110 to win $100. If the Bears don't cover the +3 spread then there will be no action on the Miami Dolphins -6.

The total risk amount is $220.00, but the player has a possibility of winning up to $400.00.

Betall,

Great job explaining. However, why would you play it. Why not just play Miami straight for $110 and if it wins, you can roll the entire $210 on Chicago to win $190. I guess if you hit both you are netting an extra $110, unless I am missing something.

My point is the risk seems greater than reward. What is your experience with these plays?

Also, if you don't mind, can you explain a Round Robin. I am not familiar with them as I generally don't play parlays.

Thanks,

Round Robbin = multiple wager selections grouped in parlays of 2s,3's,4s or all of the above.

A round robin bet is a set of parlays on 3-or-more teams that are all entered at once. The bet is determined by selecting the 3-or-more teams included in the round robin and the size of the parlays used to combine them. For example, a 5-team round robin bet 3-ways would consist of all 10 3-team parlays that can be made from the 5 teams included in the round-robin.
Instead of selecting just one parlay size for the round robin some books allow you to select a maximum size, so that the round-robin will consist of all parlays consisting of at most some number of teams. For example, a 5-team round robin bet at most 4-ways would consist of 25 bets in total (5 4-team parlays, 10 3-team parlays, and 10 2-team parlays).

The following chart shows how many different parlays/bets you will have based on the number of teams you select and how many teams you want in each parlay/bet:

• <LI class=main>3 teams every 2 ways = 3 bets <LI class=main>4 teams every 2 ways = 6 bets <LI class=main>5 teams every 2 ways = 10 bets <LI class=main>6 teams every 2 ways = 15 bets <LI class=main>4 teams every 3 ways = 4 bets <LI class=main>5 teams every 3 ways = 10 bets <LI class=main>6 teams every 3 ways = 20 bets <LI class=main>5 teams every 4 ways = 5 bets <LI class=main>6 teams every 4 ways = 15 bets
• 6 teams every 5 ways = 6 bets

I think the risk is too much for the reward on an action reverse. Especially if you lay heavy chalk.....and my case is a perfect example why. A two team parlay would have been near the same risk for a much greater reward. I actually had Vancouver -155 and they couldn't put Edmonton away.

Yeah but there is insurance on a parlay, if one bet loses its over, on a reverse you can still cut your losses if one play comes in.
