Default Re: Another Mansion free bet

hulk3 - no, you wouldn't lose anything. you immediately get refunded your bet if it's a 'push' (the final margin is exactly 5).

kissme: -118 means that you are wagering $118 to win $100 more. each site automatically calculates this for you before you place the final-wager. Or you can use a calculator and figure it out.

If you bet $236 you win $200.
If you bet $354 you win $300.
If you bet $472 you win $400.
and so on.



Here's another example so you can see how it works.

If you bet $1100 on PIT via Mansion
and bet $472 on MIA via PinnacleSports:

If PIT wins:
+$1000 on Mansion
-$472 on Pinnacle
= +$528


If MIA wins:
refund on Mansion so $0 there
+$400 on Pinnacle
= +$400


So this doesn't work out evenly.
But lets you have some fun still rooting for PIT...while locking-in a profit in case they lose.
