Vegas Odds


Squirrel

Recommended Posts

Heading to Vegas was looking up the odds for the Panthers.  

 

Right now they are 40 to 1 for winning the Superbowl. 

20 to 1 to win the NFC Championship.

 

 

Really like those odds think I will put some money on both.

 

 

Also WVU is 1000 to 1 favorites to win the BCS.  Think I will have to take some of that action too.  Would be a big payout if they did. :lol:

Glad you made this squirrel, I had been wanting to discuss how it works a month or so back... I looked up the odds then and it was 60 to 1 as Panthro mentioned. Sucks it went up to 40 to 1.

Anyway, I didn't post the thread because I don't like admitting how little I know about betting, lol. So how does it work? If I have heard correctly, didn't they make it illegal to bet sports online? So, what are my options to place a bet? Does it have to be in Vegas? One of my best friends lives out there and I thought about sending him the money and letting him place it for me.

Also, say you bet $200, if we don't win the Superbowl, do you only lose $200?

Yes, sport books online are illegal. You would have to go to a place that allows gambling.

 

And if you lose, you lose your original bet. Basically, you give them $200. If you lose, they keep your $200. If you win at 40:1 odds, you get 40 X$200 or $8000.

    • Sorry man you lost me at "Teppers have evolved as owners". Limped into playoffs at 8-9 not even above .500 Tepper is trash as an owner bro and that's not even a discussion at this point. 37-83 w/l ratio. Nuff said.... Morgan tho, he's cooking and it ain't cuz of Teppers leadership
    • After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...  
    • Canes are so fascinating. Despite inconsistent defense and poor goalie play they keep winning.
