You can keep a wooden stake in your trunk
On the off-chance that the fairy tales ain't bunk
And Imma keep a bottle of that funk
To get motel parking lot, balcony crunk.

It means that if you take Texas A&M to win then you also get 4 points.

If AU wins 30-26 and you bet on A&M you still win.  If the score is 31-26 and took A&M then you lose.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

Forgive my maths, but that would be a push...no?!  No one wins.

Most places do not recognize a push.  Even those that do you are still going to lose the Juice on the bet which is 10% of the bet.  Before Six asks because he is too lazy to google, the juice is the money that the bookie charges to actually lay the bet to begin with.  So if you bet $100 and win then you are actually only going to be paid $90.  Bookies want there to be as much equal interest in betting both sides as possible so the folks that win are essentially paid by the folks that lose and the bookies just make the juice.

What you normally are going to get is a half point off one way or the other when you actually place your bet.

hopefully, if you throw down a franklin and win you'll be making money not losing a hamilton and keeping 90 dollars in your pocket.  your circumstance would be correct if the game is a push, right?

Guess I should have been more specific.  Mileage will vary depending on WHERE you are betting.

If you are betting in a casino and you place a $100 bet and win then you will take your ticket back the cashier and be paid $190.  Your original $100 plus another $90 which is the payout minus the 10% juice.
If you lose the bet then the casino already has your $100 and calls it good.

If you are going the bookie route then you will also be paid $190 on the win.  Your original $100 plus the $90.  If you lose then you will usually owe the bookie the $100 plus the 10% juice for a total of $110.

Some of you fuckers need to get out and lose yourselves some scratch.
