never bet on sports
 
I was checking the odds on the world cup of ruggby matches and realized it was easy to make money.
So I bet 20k on australia vs japan.
At the half time australia wins by 23 to 3. I come and check and realize I bet with Australia having a -60.5 points handicap.

So I take a while and realize they are not going to make it and bet on the japan to win to counterfeit my first bet, the odds are bad and I bet alot.

after 10 minutes in 2nd half Australia is winning by 44 to 3.

beat: im going to lose alot
brag: i can offer to lose alot
variance: if I didnt realized there was an handicap on the match, I might have won.

japan to win is a retarded counterbet.60.5 handicap isnt unrealistic at all.prob would have gotten good odds for japan to emerge minus players

You got fooled because:

Despite the temptation to chase easy points from the outset, the Australians began cautiously. The Wallabies opted to keep the ball in the forwards during the first half to try to sap the energy from the Japanese on a warm and sunny afternoon at Gerland stadium and the tactic worked perfectly.

Final score: 91-3

so you thought you were getting a straight bet on a team that was favored by 60.5 points? is anybody really this retarded?

Re: never bet on sports
 
hope people followed my bet england won 27-10, so if the line was higher than 47 you would have bet on US
