My bookie always adds to the points spread.

Vegas had the 49ers -3, but my bookie had them at -4. So I took the 49ers at -4 and tied. I lost $50


But hey, at least the Falcons are done!!

It actually ended at -4.5 so your bookie probably adjusted.
And when you tie you don't lose your money it's called a push.

You should have pushed with that spread.

Should know better than doing parlays.

It wasn't a parlay, that was straight up.
I waited all week hoping that it would drop, instead it went up to 4. I should have taken it earlier in the week when it was -3.

What in the hell are you guys talking about? For the first guy.....a push doesn't cost you anything. The second guy a push in a parlay doesn't cost you anything either. It just reverts the other play to a straight play.

Wait, so does the bookie take your money on a push or not? Get an online book, I got sf -3.5 last Monday.

Seems like a shady dude. Added a hook essentially? I second the "use an online book" comment.

Did you bet $50 and he took your money on a push? Or did he take the juice on a $500 bet?

I called him and told him to put me down for $50 on the 49ers -4.
I have not paid him yet. I will see if he calls me and asks where his money is.
