PlayStation Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Hey! Just recently started playing, was wondering who else plays and if you have any tips/suggestions on which game modes to play As I have learnt (and knew before playing) that hockey is a huge crap shoot as upsets happen nightly. I played 3 outcome, but haven't ever picked ties, banking on regulation wins. Again totally unpredictable with hockey it seems. My Personal Rule: Never bet on any Canucks game.

chrisbanks Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 im a combo man... usually go for 3 or 4 favorites in big nights of NBA MLB NCAA football and NFL sunday... but yes stay away from hockey...unless you like to put some little bets on under dogs because they are more likely to hit.

Rey Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 A lot of it, isn't worth it. I think the combos are the best value for the buck. 2 bucks for all the games for a bit of fun. Not going to win all the time, but it's only 2 bucks. If you get one, your okay with losing another 100. I disagree, If you have a favorite sports team. It's best to bet against them, so it becomes a win-win. I don't gamble, but i did for a bit a few years ago till i realize it wasn't worth the trouble.

red&white Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I only bet on football. I also follow the rule of never betting on your favourite team. You're making an emotional decision instead of a rational one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayStation Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 As far as betting on my favourite sports team, it also does not help that the Canucks are so unpredictable, they show up some games, and not the others. Not to mention they lose to some of the worst teams and of course the million shootouts they end up in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdubuya Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 sportsaction is a con. If you know your sports and want to place bets get a proper bookie. If your betting against the football spread you need to be right a bit more than 50% of the time to turn a profit as whenever you lose you pay a 10% juice. This is how I bet. It gets more complicated with betting on hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Debt Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 The only worthwhile sportsaction plays are betting spreads close to game time, because they don't have line movement once they release their lines on sundays/wednesdays or whatever it is. You can beat the closing lines by a lot sometimes this way. Besides that, you will always get paid out far more if you placed those same sportsaction wagers at an offshore book. Requiring you to pick more than a single wager is a scam anyways, and then they still give you worse odds than vegas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offensive Threat Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Ill save my sports betting for trips to Vegas. Sportsaction is geared for failure. They dont have honest betting at all. No single game betting and insultingly idiotic rules "Football - A tie is a game decided by three points or less." WTF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played 3 outcome, but haven't ever picked ties, banking on regulation wins. Again totally unpredictable with hockey it seems. My Personal Rule: Never bet on any Canucks game. I don't have any suggestion on which game modes to play. But here's a general piece of advice if you gamble: keep track of how much you bet and how much you win/lose. People tend to remember their wins much more clearly than their many losses. If you keep an accurate record, your gambling costs will be staring at you in black and white. And they might give you some good advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_More_Larchide Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 In all honesty man, ditch sports action. BCLC's rules for betting on sports is crazy, as well their odds are not nearly what other sites/tools use. I would strongly suggest Sports Interaction. They are an online website (legal to use in Canada btw), that gives you much much much better odds, it also allows you to parlay bets cross disciplines. For example; I could make a ticket picking 1-2 hockey games, 1-2 football games, and a UFC fight, or any combination there-in. And you can choose to bet on one game only, something BCLC will never allow. If you are starting out, SA is ok to learn how odds work, point spread, etc. But graduate to something else quickly.
