I know you said you bet $25 or $50 per star but do you bet that to win $25 or $50 per star or just straight $25 or $50? I don't know if I worded that right?

I'm kind of confused. [Confused] If the line is -150, on a 4* how do you win $200 because winning $200 would be if it was even money. Sorry to be confusing with this, I'm just trying to do it like you do instead of "flat" bets for every game.

Ohhhh, ok I get it now. I bet off shore but my normal sportsbook (that hasn't paid me yet) did it differently but I understand now. Thanks! [Cool]

lol, that might be the worst explanation I have ever seen. Let me try to fix it.....

If Boxer has a 4* play he can either bet "to risk" or "to win". I don't know how he does it personally but here are both scenarios.

Some places offer both, some places offer one of the other. So, at $100 a star on a -150 line the "to win" amount would be $400 and you would have to bet $600 to win that 4. If he just wanted to bet $400 and win whatever the "to risk" amount would be $400 and the payout would be $250 if you won.

If you are talking about Sports Interaction KC, their software is set up "to risk". If you want to figure it out without paper and without actually placing the bet first, Type your amount you want to wager in the box and then click outside the box in the purple somewhere and it will show you the payout before you click "place bet >". [Wink]

Hope this helped everyone....

Excellent explanation MC! I'm so used to players where you have to specically say $110 to win $100 and so forth. I received an e-mail from them this morning stating they had a hard time tracking my wire transfer but it was a mix up on "their" banks fault (of course not theirs). Anyway, they assured me the money was sent yesterday and it should be in my account either today or tomorrow. Funny thing is, they addressed the e-mail "Dear Nathan". I feel like asking who the hell Nathan is???
