Default prop bet ravens at steelers

There is a prop bet - no touchdown scorer (+2500). LEts say both play really good defense than there is a possiblity of no touchdown in this game. LEts say that you drop $20 bet on this prop, you payout is going to be $500. Steelers did not score a td last week and who knows they may not score again this week. This is not a bad proposition bet.

the payout would be $50,000 (20x2500). but is so highly unlikely that it might as well be 5Mil.

Looks very intriguing. It's a possibility that there will only be FGs kicked in this game. Baltimore always stalls in the red zone and their D is good enough to shut down the Steelers offense. You know they'll be keying on Mendenhall after what he said and Big Ben still isn't 100% with his injured shoulder.

exactly....he's right on the math.

you get $2500 for every $1 you put in so that is $2500 x $20

no, you get $2500 for every $100 you put in. so if you bet $20, 2500/5 = $500.

The responses in this thread are pretty brutal to read. However for the sake of helping people out...

1. You would wager $20 to win $500...NOT $50,000
2. This would be the worst bet anyone has ever place in the history of sportsbetting.

this bet is no different than taking a big underdog to upset a favorite.

Why would this be the worst bet in the history of sportsbetting?

It's 50/50. Either he hits it or he doesn't.

doh! you're right.. forgot the simplest thing..

but don't rag on me too badly.. the original poster had it at 5,000 and edited it. will leave mine up as an honest mistake.
