TGokou Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I hate sportsaction cause it's the biggest ripoff of all time. Odds are horrible. They basically give you less than 2 x odds on any given team winning but if it goes to shootout then you automatically lose. At least online websites give you better odds AND no automatic loss. Anyone who plays seriously or even on a semi-regular basis should use an online website. I know it's not a long time to play but I find the 'easiest' games to win are the pre-season games because the lineups are more AHL quality than NHL quality. Look for the lineups that are stacked and bet on that team, even if they are Toronto because the odds will be good. Last year I put $100 on Canucks to win the Cup for $1200 potential winnings at the beginning of the year. When we made it into the playoffs I would 'hedge' my bet and bet up to $100 on the other team winning the series. That way if other team wins, I make back my initial bet..if they lose, then well my $100 play on Canucks is still in play. Got to the Boston series and my potential winnings were now down to maybe $1000 but I decided to hedge a couple hundred on Boston winning just in case. In the end, I still ended up winning my $1200 in 'total' winnings. A small consolation prize to dull the pain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmen81 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Damn bro I feel you..This always happens to me too!. Try splitting the ticket with 3 and 3 games wagering more money. Instead of putting all the eggs in one basket. If you do parlay 6 games, wager less $$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Arrogant Worms Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Parlays are for suckers and so is Sports action. I have accounts at a few online books...MUCH better odds especially if you want to do a parlay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocular Patdown Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 On Bodog, they have odds on who gets picked at the NHL allstar draft. Phil Kessel is listed at 35 to 1 to go first. He went last, last year. Joffery Lupul is the assistant captain of team Chara. It's in Ottawa, best way to get the crowd all riled up, picking a leaf first. As Dave Pratt would say, eazzzeyyyyyyyy munehhhhhhhhhhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_More_Larchide Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I cant believe people still support Sports Action, BC Gaming is a complete joke. They stack odds in their favour so heavily it ruins games like Sports Betting and Blackjack (in Casino's). Having 3 possible outcomes on NHL games may not seem like that big of a deal to the casual better, but with the amount of games that go to shootout, it's a complete farce. Not to mention the odds they give are crap. Go to bodog, sportsinteraction or any other reputable sports book and bet there, you will be much happier you did. To put into perspective, I and my friend made the exact same parlay bet about 2 weeks ago on the Divisonal Playoff weekend, we each went 3/3 on the same 3 games, I used bodog, he used SA and I won 25$ more on the same bet.

tracyjordan Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 This is a parlay. And a parlay is a suckers bet. Don't do bclc sports action to much, the odds aren't worth it. Just sign up at bodog or sportsinteraction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocular Patdown Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I personally like party bets. Lots of options, and great odds on anything. Bodog is pretty sweet as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayStation Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Quick question, for Bodog betting on who goes first, if I put $2 on each Spezza, Thomas, Malkin, and Kessel, the lowest win is $6 plus my $2 back, so I am losing no money but have the potential to win $60 on Kessel! $50 on Malkin or $16 on Spezza, am I correct?

JustJokinen! Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Yes ofcourse, but the odds are pretty good no? If one is chosen I'm guranteed my money back and potential for more. Just trying to make sure I'm right in what I'm thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayStation Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 You're wrong about the payout too. It's $6, not 8$. Not a bad bet though. Edit: NVM it would be $8 total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustJokinen! Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I can't believe Seguin is 25/1. There's a good chance he goes first if its Chara picking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
