[morgieb]

$20 dollars on a SA victory.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Multi of $ 100 on Graeme Smith to score over 69.5 runs @ 1.83 and $100 on Graeme Smith to score 50 or more @ 1.4.

If I understand correctly, that works out to $200 on the pair of bets @ 2.56

 

[NUFAN]

Multi of $ 100 on Graeme Smith to score over 69.5 runs @ 1.83 and $100 on Graeme Smith to score 50 or more @ 1.4.

If I understand correctly, that works out to $200 on the pair of bets @ 2.56

I don't think that you can do multi's like that where the outcome of one result will affect the outcome of the other bet.

50 on McKenzie at 9/4 to score more than Smith
100 on McKenzie to score grater than 34.5 at 5/6
100 on next dismissal as LBW at 4-1

a) lost 50
b) lost 50
c) won 83.333 + stake
d) won 400 + stake

Wagered 300 and returned 683.33. Profit of 383.33

Right, so I'll ignore the first two words and the last sentence and take it as two separate bets.

Update will come as soon as i get back on my laptop later tonight. I'll also calculate the total profit/loss to see whether i, the bookie, is hypothetically making money out of CW .

Every incident in cricket affects the outcome of another IMO.

If this is still not allowed, I'd like the bet to be considered as $200 on the first one.

Nah i read it as $100 on each. I recommend you don't complain, if i were a real bookie you'd have no standing bets at all

IMO, the multi was valid since there was the risk of me walking away with nothing if Smith had scored between 50 and 69 despite one of the conditions involved being fulfilled. Oh, well.

*mutters*

I'd take my business elsewhere if you didn't have the monopoly on betting services on CW

 

[GIMH]

i'm great at this game

Nah they don't. It's the same player so multi's don't work the same way as it's not as big a risk for you if you win one of your bets, it's so much easier to win the second bet.

I.e - You said Smith to score over 50 at $1.40 - if he does that his odds of scoring over 69.5 is way more shorter than $1.83 since he's already on 50 runs.

It's just the way it is and I agree with the betting agents on this one.

Jungle Jumbo

GeraintIsMyHero -$100 + $100 on Aus+SA to draw 2nd test @ 3.50=-$100

pasag- $80


At the halfway stage, Goughy takes the lead thanks to Smiffy's failure to get his front foot outside off while GIMH and SS now share Voltman's "biggest loser" tag. Everyone can now, if they wish, go as low as -$600. So far CW has a net profit of $412 causing this poor bookmaker to resort to an imaginary christmas this year.

 

[GIMH]

Shouldn't mine read -$200 or am I missing something

Haha, that is quite confusing now that i read over it. Read every bet as though it's in brackets, like "-$100 + ($100 on Aus+SA to draw 2nd test @ 3.50=-$100)" It's only so you can see where they won and lost money, and how much.
