What am i missing on the marijuana prop?

When will game announcer say word 'marijuana'

06:30 PM 26 1st Half +400 27 2nd Half +500 28 No mention -600
 
Casey Prather with a career high in field goal attempts. Lenzelle Smith hits 3 three-pointers in a big ten game for the fourth time in four years and first this year. LaQuinton Ross breaks 13 points against a man defense for the first time this year. I have no idea what I'm doing.

Ok 2-2, Prather ended up a win anyway. This is just so maddening.

 
Quick dummy question:

Took a teaser at RB. Won the first two legs. 3rd leg pushed. Last leg is Denver +4. So if Denver covers the 4 the whole bet is one big push?

TIA

Here's some early ones without digging too much yet

*1 Harvin over 40.5 receiving

*.5 Caldwell over 10.5 receiving
*.5 Kearse -10.5 yards over Caldwell

Dumb novelty one's

*.4 Will Knowshon Moreno cry during the signing of the National Anthem +375 Yes

*.4 National Anthem over 2 minutes 25 sec (E)

*.4 How many times will "12th man" be said during the game? under 2 -130

*.4 Will any member of the Red Hot Chili Peppers be shirtless during their performance No -140

*1 Will Michael Crabtree mention Richard Sherman in a tweet during the Super Bowl from kickoff until final whistle? - No -200

*.6 Will Percy Harvin be injured in the game? (Must be injured and reported by broadcasters and not return to game) - No -300

yep

any push in a teaser there means the best you can hope for is a push. no chance to win it.
Depends on the book. In many cases a 3 teamer with a push pays for a two team teaser win.

ETA: I see you said "there." so I guess RB does it the way you said. Nevermind!

I'm a bit of a novice, but I learn a lot from following this thread. So this might be a dumb question. Is this a single bet that pays as long as Denver +7 or Seattle +10 wins? Seems like a pretty wide spread, does a bet like that have a lot of vig? Or are these two totally separate bets with alternate spreads? If it is the latter, how do you win? Wouldn't you just about break even?
assuming you have one teaser with DEN +7 as the last leg and another teaser with SEA +10 as the last leg, then if the game winds up anywhere in the middle, you win both bets. if it winds up outside the range, you lose one but win one.

low risk with the potential for high reward.

taken at a smaller level, it's pretty easy to bet the DEN ML and SEA +3. You can't lose both bets but if DEN wins by 3 or less, you can win or push the SEA bet. When you add in teasers, you give yourself a much wider range of outcomes to middle the game and win both sides.
Thanks. So you are talking about one teaser with DEN teased to +7 and SEA to +10? Or two separate teasers? Tough to tease Den to +7 when they are currently -3 though.

 
I had a job interview today and it was 15 minutes of them asking standard questions, and 45 minutes of yucking it up and :hifive:

It was the weirdest thing ever. So I'm either a shoe-in, or they were just patronizing me. :mellow:

I'm talking about multiple bets. In theory you could play both sides of the game in the same teaser, but I've never done that.

I don't have DEN +7. Frosty said he did. Not sure of the details.

 
just saw this posted at 5dimes:

All Super Bowl XLVIII wagers will have action regardless of the date the game begins or ends.
would be crazy if the books tried to back out of stuff due to a date/time change. I'm sure they want to encourage as much action on the game as possible.

moral is don't tease anything more than a 2 teamer at RB
they have best odds for a 3 teamer. Dont tease anything at RB that doesnt have a 1/2 point.
I get 3-team +180 at 5dimes but they shade their NFL lines so it sucks.

:goodposting: on the second part. that's what I try to do, or land on numbers that are unlikely to be ties.
Thats interesting - does 5 dimes have different lines for different accounts? My 5dimes 3team NFL 6pt ties reduce is 165.

I think when you sign up and deposit, they give you an option of a bonus or reduced juice. I took reduced juice so maybe that's why I get better odds on those.

:shrug:

when I hover over the teaser options for 6pt football, ties lose, I see

2 team: +100

3 team: +180

4 team: +300

5 team: +465

etc.

Denver is -1 at 5dimes, and a 8pt Football/5pt basketball 4 team tease pays +185. My three CBB legs already came in.

Then I have Seattle teased to +10 at Bovada where they started at +3. So like Aaron said, anything between the two and I win both. Of course, I also had one of my teasers not come in so I'm already down 1u.

Must be different for different accounts then. I dont have a ties lose option for 6 pts, just ties reduce.

My +180 is for 5.5 NFL sides, 6 pts other football sides. Im on reduced juice too. 6pt NFL is +165.

Here are the odds I see http://www.5dimes.eu/sb_charts/TeasersChartTiesReduce.pdf

 
I meant ties reduce, sorry.

I don't know why but I've had 3-team 6pt teasers for +180 there always.

Do you have different lines for NFL sides vs "other football"? Only book I have ever had that at.
what's "other football"?

as for teasers, when I click that payout chart, I see the same prices you do but I have a header up top that says "Promotional Chart"

http://www.5dimes.eu/sb_charts/TeasersChartPromo.htm

that's what I get on my account. I think it has to do with what you get when you sign up.

Look at that link I posted for some reason on my account they list NFL sides at .5 points less then "all other football" (NFL totals, CFB). No idea why. Interesting to know all accounts arent the same there. I dont have promotional teasers as an option when Im in the teaser menu. :kicksrock:

oh yeah. I see that on their standard payout chart now.

on the promotional one, it just says "FB Pts" and "BB Pts".

I guess I'm getting the promotional odds.

I see this on their main page:

New Players can choose from one of several reward options for new accounts. Each new account is defaulted to our #1 reward plan, the Reduced Juice Rewards. If bonuses, cash-backs, or any other of our reward programs are more of your liking, contact Customer Service via Live Help to check your eligibility on switching reward programs.
I guess you can try to ask live help to see if there's any way to switch your rewards program.

EDIT: I guess this sounds like what I'm in but not sure I did anything special to get it.

So I guess I rattled some feathers with my prejection, but for those that want to bet the over/under on the temperature at game time, it's been in the teens here all week, and it's normal. Under 32, after sundown, is easy money.

 
ugh, Anybody else have Washington +1.5 first half? I wish i would never be able to see half these bets that lose, that was just heartbreaking

 
Do yourself a favor. Even if it's the right bet, don't bet on under shots by the San Jose sharks. It's like the 7th level if hell even if you win in the end.
