I would have guessed -1 to 2- so yeah, we're going to drill the Ags.

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.

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

[Godfather]

Color me surprised that we are the favorite.

[bgreene]

  No one wins.

You obviously have never met Uncle Saniflush.  It's win/win...he's a giver.

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.

[djsimp]

I think I will take Auburn and say fuck the spread.

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.
