Default Re: BetWWTS Free $100 Monday Night Football Bet Steelers

[ QUOTE ]


I just don't think the Steelers are going to win Monday, w/ or w/o Ben . So why piss away free cash. I still kept money at Mansion and w/ the 10% vig I locked up $43.27.

The problem here is that you are presuming you know more than vegas does. If you are that sure that the jags are going to win you should be wagering a hell of alot more than 100 on this game. In reality, unless you are a professional handicapper who has inside information that the jags will cover there is very little reason to hedge this bet.

And there is certainly no reason to do so at a book that only offers 10% vig when there are a few sites out there that offer 4 or 5% vig.

I didn't hedge the pitt (was one of the suckers who got it at -5 and got lucky) bet because it was a free bet. Why tack on vig to a free bet? it reduces your ev. And on a bet that is even smaller there is less motivation for me to hedge.
