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.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
