I need to seriously stop my gambling habits.

Stonecutter · 01-03-2006, 11:11 PM

Please only bet once, I forgot to change the settings.

woo hoo, 50 doubloons.

I really don't know much about betting. I bet a 100 dbloons, how much did I win? From what I understand, I won 100, right?

At the time you bet, 100 were subtracted from your total. When the game was paid out, 200 were added. The 100 you risked was returned, and, since the odds were 1 to 1, another 100 (the amount you bet) was added.

That's what I thought. Over here, when we bet, the odds are like 1/1.8, 1/2, 1/3 or something. You bet 1, you get 3, for example. Or bet 1, get 1.8.

1.8 is the amount you get in total, not the amount you win over the amount you've bet.

Your 1/1 is 1/2 here, that's why I was confused.

No no no, 1/3 means you bet 3, you win one. 3/1 means you bet 1, you win 3.

There's not change on the odds because of the spread. Sure I could have made NE like 2/3 and Jax like 3/1, but instead we just give the Jags 8 points.
