Buffalo716 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 4 hours ago, BillnutinHouston said: I have a question for those who bet. How do you address that in your budget? Do you just budget for what you put down as an expense, and any winnings are just extra income? Personally.. I don't wager what I'm not willing to lose So I obviously have some money budgeted that I could play with When that money's gone it's gone till I budget more of it... When I win it's just some extra pocket cash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On straight up bets, old time bookies had a 5% take, assuming that bettors will win 50% of their bets. 7 1/2% seems excessive, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are likely and it's also a nice hedge because it would be relatively hard for the combined score to be less than 41 with the Jets losing by 17. whoops… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
