Is all based on $100. If you buy for $91 you would win $9 if your team won. The winning side will be $100 after the game and the losing side will be $0.

see, i still dont get that. so betting on the 90 is the same as the 10 below. and the 94 is the same as the 6. is that correct

BOSTON AT CHICAGO A (1-Pay) $100 WIN

Series Name Sell Buy
BOSTON 90 94 -1566
CHICAGO 6 10 +900

yes buying and selling are exactly the same in a market of 2 .. where selling comes into play is when the market has more than 2 and then you can sell off a golfer etc..

yes you could buy Boston for 94 and if they won then you would get paid 100 = $6 profit. and it is the same thing as selling Chicago at 6. You would make 6 if Boston won here also.

Can someone please explain tonights in-game line on wsex
Sell Buy
OAKLAND +2.5 48 53 -112
MINNESOTA -2.5 47 52 -108


If I want to bet minnesota I have to buy at $52, and if they win, I get $100 back correct?

[rolemand]

Yes your account will go down by 52 for each contract you buy. If your side wins your account will go up by 100 for each contract you bought

I accidentally press sell Minny at 47 !!, how Do i cancel taht wager out? Please help!!

[rolemand]

well all you have to do is buy Minnesota. You will lose $5 probably but you will have 1 contract on each team. If you still want to bet Minnesota buy 2 contracts

[rolemand]

Or pray Oakland covers!!

[showstopper]

thanks bro!

I wish they had 1/2 of contracts, gets kind of expensive

I use the interactives to bail on my original bets. I am very good at picking losers before the game starts! Thank goodness for the interactives so I can get off my bet.

It is actually a great way to hedge bets. For example, you like a side but aren't totally confident. You bet $52.50 on that side and hedge it with a bet on the other side. If its evident early that you picked a loser, you let both bets ride the entire game and you lost a couple of bucks as opposed to losing your entire initial wager. If you the game stays pretty close but you like your initial bet, you sell your live share on the opposite side and you may not make the full $50 profit, but you still profit if your side wins...

I do agree with the previous poster who would like to see half shares. When your bankroll is on the low side it would be a nice option...
