Uncle Steve - Need clarification here I think your wrong.

[Preussen]

Here2Win2Day - perhaps it should be added that there are (at least) two ways of calculating unit/bet amounts. What you have been explained is the American way and since this forum is mainly American it's what you will usually find here, especially in the U.S. sports. If you see someone quoting lines American-style (-110, +120 etc.) the explanations you were given are correct.

However, there's also the European style, to be found, for example, in threads of the RX "Soccer" subforum. Bettors who use decimal odds (1.91, 2.20 etc.) always mean they risk the units they list, even if the odds are below -100/2.00. In fact when using decimals many sportsbooks don't even give you the opportunity to place bets "to win".

I liked to point this out just in case you happen to run across other threads and forums where decimal odds are used so that you don't get confused again when what you have been explained here does not seem to fit.

He has turned tracker forum into a complete joke.

Thats Bull Shit. He has provided many winners for everyone. Follow or not.

A few, including myself, ask a question, and clarification on the parlay "No Action" issue. That does not mean we are bashing.

So you are the fool for making such a comment.:WTF:

Sooner Are You The Offspring Of "The Original"?

as you seem quite insiteful. Anyway 100% correct, US has made me some $$ in the last wk that I`ve been aware of him. However, this parlay thing IS disturbing I also addressed it in another thread. I`m just assuming it was an error. If not and he`s not really playing these as long as he keeps hitting Im cool w/it. BOL

 

[HERE2WIN2DAY]

Murph & Calvin,

Thanks for the clarification. As you can see, that is where it is a little confusing.

But I understand it and will have to adjust to it when reporting or keeping personal records.

Good Luck to you guys and keep in touch. What do you guys "specialize" in? I may want to follow since you guys are fluent with this knowledge of capping.

Hey Murph & Calvin,

Wait I do have another view on this. OK as you guys have mentioned putting down more money to win the amounts of units that you are declaring on a fav etc. But what makes these two different then....

3* SEA -135 = WIN +300


3* 2-TEAM PARLAY - no action prop -postponed-rain (BOSOX)
BOS -195
STL -169


In the first bet, the 3* represents (according to Murph and Calvin) the amount of units that the person WANTS to win on -135odds. Therefore this person would have to put up 135 x 3 in order to win the 3 units that they are stating.

For the Parlay, (Both with two faves might I add) does the 3 represent the amount of units the bettor wants to win? I do not think so. I think he means he risked 3 units on a 2 team parlay.

Please correct my confused little mind. I hope you guys see where I am coming from. I think its being reported wrong. And if other in the forum (Who are not experts) think they know it all , I do not think they do. I think everyone has this question and is scared to ask.

Like I said, no bashing just trying to share insights here.

 

[Murphy8276]

in the parlay he will RISK 3 units to win whatever money...it prolly paid +150 or so...???


so if it paid +150 he risked 300 to win 450$....same scenerio as the first example u made...ur jus seeing it different for osme reason.

 

[magillagorilla]

CalvinTy, please post that money management system as soon as possible,alot of people could use that on here.including me.

money management,in the end, is how you make money at this.
cheers

Ok so when the odds are + then whatever units are listed is what is actually wagered. When the odds of a bet are - then the units listed is what they are trying to win and NOT what was wagered. What makes this fundamentally wrong is that not all parlays will pay + odds, lets say two high favs will not even pay even money. You get my drift? I give up on it.

Kind of like Taxes, it is represented incorrectly and cannot be explained. It could be alot more simpler. Just list the amount of units that you HAVE wagered and whatever odds. Then the reporting will be easier. If you want to win 3 units at odds of -135, then just say risked $405.00 or 4.05 Units to win $300.00 or 3 Units.

Thanks Murph.

 

[Murphy8276]

basically u can keep track of units HOWEVER u want...as long as u use the same system everytime and u dont change it in the middle.


BUT AS A RULE with parlays if u are using the same system (common) we are discussing...then ALWAYS use it 3 units to win 3+ if odds are above +100 and if odds are below +100 or -101 (or less) than it is 3++ to win 3 units.


GOT IT???

WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hold on to your horses, guys. I OCCASIONALLY make a early morning mistake, either in a post or recap - didn't catch my error on the rainout/PP games in my recap this morning = fixated on the rainout and I was in a BIG hurry.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention = I didn't even check my book account until this afternoon.

YES, there is action on parlay's if one team is PP/or no actioned because of a pitching change. I was looking at the pitching change for Boston's double-headers for today and CWS made pitching changes. Just a mental slip, I didn't catch it. I'm going in to correct the recap, no big deal, didn't mean to start a forest fire here.

Only human. And, most of the time, it's when you are in a HURRY.

Picks for tonight in about 15 min OR 5:45pm CST, USA

thanks for the notice guys.

Uncle Steve, you do a great job man. I did not mean to get you thrown under the bus, I was just using your wagers to better understand the reporting of units.

Keep up the good work.

He post in Tracker Form

Sorry, Sooner. Man, it's been a LONG week, I got little sleep last night, hada get up early, all kinds of distractions.

In answering (and correcting), it cost me time tonight, by about 2 minutes.

Play the others, I hope they come in big time.

Postponed games, then pitching changes, then time changes, rainouts, then the sports network has the WRONG pitchers early, you cap, only to find out they switched pitchers . . . blah lbah lahlakhjdhl;aaa;aa;

You know what I mean.

Hope you have a great and winning weekend, dude. Hang tough, you always do
