What's the juice on the 7pt teaser....-140?

Great picks! (Hopefully) I especially like the two touchdowns each in the first parlay. I see both of those teams in the game till the end, that's for sure. A bit inexperienced maybe, but they worked hard to get to the playoffs, I don't see them blowing the opportunity. Should have no problem covering. Just curious, how much did you put up on the second one?

how does a reverse work?

if both sides win, the reverse pays 4 to 1.
if one side wins and one loses, the bet loses 1200
if both lose, the bet loses 2200
in the case of a tie, prior to the bet, one must call ACTION on the bet which means
if one side loses and one ties.... its like losing both bets individually
if one side wins and one ties.... its like winning both bets individually
if one side wins and one loses, the bet loses 1200
if both lose, the bet loses 2200

What are the advantages/disadvantages of a reverse as opposed to a 2-way parlay? A "reverse" is new terminology to me. Just curious.

In a two team parlay, you only can lose the amount of the parlay bet regardless if both teams lose. (1000 parlay would lose 1000)
In a reverse, if both teams lose, you lose as if both teams were a single bet. (1000 reverse would lose 2200)
In a two team parlay, you will win 2600 if both teams win
In a reverse, you will win 4000 if both teams win
In a two team parlay, if the games split, you will lose 1000
In a two team reverse, if the games split, you will lose 1200
Therefore, the risk is at a constant with the parlay but the payoff is not as great. However, you need to lose both games in order for the parlay to be your advantage because a split would basically lose the same amount. If you think your losing both bets, which can happen, then maybe you shouldnt bet... lol

Green Bay has a switch the flip on come playoff time. Everything you saw in the regular season is to be forgotten. They are a different team. I can't wait to watch them play San Francisco (a team I put a $20 +450 futures wager on in February of last year).

Wow, Vikings +14 1/2 turned out to be a very good bet for you.

The parlay is looking good. I don't think Baltimore's offense can even score 14 points total

how would you compute the HE on a reverse bet? its easy to figure out how much youd lose per a given amount. like in your example: $4000(1/4)-$1200(2/4)-$2200(1/4). but what would you say your initial wager is? $1100? $2200? some other number?
