Did you read the post?

I haven't got paid anything yet.

I need Indy to win tonight to get paid.

and the payout is completely dependant on amount of played tickets and amount of correct tickets.

Sorry if it came off that way ..there was no attitude intended.

444K would be alright I suppose..hehe.


GO INDY!

Congrats! You just jinxed yourself!

Seriously though, playing a 14-team parlay is pretty -EV, imo. If you win, good job. The odds of hitting all 14 games is ridiculous.

If they payout is in the range of $440,000, why not bet more?

Re: Brag : 13 out of 14 so far on NFL Pro Picks!
 
I usually just play like $5 and $10 pro line tickets.

Sometimes put in $50 bets with Bookie.

$200 is more than I usually bet but I figured I'm either gonna win huge with my Pro Picks ticket OR if I get screwed on that and Jacksonville wins then at least I win my $200 bet.

SOLID 200 DOLLAR HEDGE WHEN YOU MIGHT ALSO WIN SIX FIGURES*.

note: op has yet to say how much he wins if indy wins. i'm making up the total of 231,154 just to have some sort of pretend total.

Like I said ..I am for the most part a small time sports bettor ($5,$10,$50 bets max) but if Indy wins then I win a huge payout possibly on a $5 ticket.

If Jacksonville wins by some fluke then at least I win something that way too by way of a seperate $200 bet at odds of +150 = a $350 payout.

If Jacksonville loses by only 2 Points (the spread is 3) then I win both bets.

OP--

The fact that you are in such an awesome situation -- and in turn are playing it so poorly -- is putting me on life tilt.

solids I agree.. this is putting me on monkey life tilt.. how many people do you think are gonna hit 14 of 14.

I don't really get the rules of this contest but true odds of hitting a 14 team parlay are 16,384 to 1.

Jacksonville has a very real chance of winning, it wouldn't be a "fluke", they are a very good team and at home and normally give indy fits.

(sigh)

I know that $200 is a relatively big win for you and all.

But do you realize that if you bet a much higher amount, say $50,000, you are guarenteed at least $50,000 regardless of the outcome of the game??? If you only bet $200, you are only guarenteed $200.

C'mon, use your brain here. Do you hate money or something?

it would help to know what the average 14 of 14 winner makes. Obviously there might be a few others with the same picks. It also sounds like you are a very small time bettor, and you'd have the chance to lock up about (guestimate here) 30k+ win and you'd think you would be jumping at that chance off a $5 ticket.

Casper0 10-22-2007 01:05 PM

Re: Brag : 13 out of 14 so far on NFL Pro Picks!
 
I do reaalize what you are saying.

I also realize that when that lady won 444K there were approx 89,000 tickets bought at $5 each.

and 1 winnar = 444K.

If for instance this time the game has become more popular and there were 100,000 tickets played for a prizepool of 500K.

Now what if somehow 400 ended up picking winners since there weren't any really crazy upsets this weekend.

That would make my payout $1250.

A far cry from $444K.

Just my thoughts.

I'll buy your ticket for 5k

Just curious, but what contest is this? I'm surprised they don't let you know the prize pool once all bets are in.

Also, the odds of 400 people, let alone 5 people, picking every game correctly is so small it's ridiculous.

I would still bet much more than $200.

Casper0 10-22-2007 01:13 PM

Re: Brag : 13 out of 14 so far on NFL Pro Picks!
 
I would sell the ticket for 55K right now.

I'm a little confused.. weird system.. so what do you have picked, V or V+? I'm guessing V, and that means Indy has to win by 4 right?

Casper0 10-22-2007 01:37 PM

Re: Brag : 13 out of 14 so far on NFL Pro Picks!
 
Sorry my bad...I think you are looking at 'propicks'.

It is 'propools' under the olgc site somewhere.

Just have to pick win/lose no spreads.

Buy the ticket ...I like guarantees money!

Re: Brag : 13 out of 14 so far on NFL Pro Picks!
 
No thanks.. already found someone else with the same ticket, (who said he'd sell for 20k) and said it prolly wouldn't pay more than 5k due to the fact many favs won this week. He said the weeks it paid huge are when the very big underdogs won.

LOL, really? If this is true, I completely stand corrected.

Also, where are you finding these people?

Edit to add: Also, why would he tell everyone that it likely won't cash for over $5K, and then try to sell it for $20K?
