IPT- Vegas Betting Odds

I think he's one of em'. I believe that place had a couple of them. I'm sure he spent a little time there, just like the rest of us. Hell, I live an hour away and I spent some time there. Sam

And didn't we all have long hair back then, Sam? Looks like some must believe me. Brian is down to 250/1, LOL.

Are u the same `hippie` who hanged around in executive Billiards on KeyStone & 51st street in Indy?
I have been to executive many times but I'ts probably someone else your thinking of...I mainly played at airport and various "dives" in and around Indy ...
 
I still can't believe the odds on Nick VD Berg, he slipped from 200-1 to 150-1 but that is still a deal IMO. Sometimes I could swear there are people out there that think the guy can't run 3 balls LOL!

I love this comment, here we all are trying to prove how smart we are. Meanwhile, we killed any chance that we all had at making some money.

It's especially ironic when you recall all the times that everyone gets all bent out of shape about "busting some hustler's action" whenever someone asks about the identity of some roadie that stopped into their room. Funny, you busted your own action.

Nope.Afraid not hippiepool.It doesn't depend on that at all.How much money is wagered on any given player is irrelevant to calculating the "book percentage".

The book percentage is determined by calculating the sum of the winning odds of all the runners expressed as a percentage.If the sum comes to over 100% the overall cumulative odds of all the runners is in the bookmakers favour,if it comes to less than 100% (not often !) it is in the punters favour.The higher above 100% it goes the more the bookmaker is ripping off the punters with skinny odds.

Now a typical book percentage on a high volume online betting market,let's say a soccer world cup match, might be in the average range of 103% to 109%.

The book percentage on the bookmakers odds list in the first post in this thread is approaching 200% !!!!!! The book percentage on the new odds list above is almost exactly the same.

Now can you see what I mean?:)
I may be an 8th grade dropout but i do see this, every player gets paid at least 2,000 dollars ......they bet that at 500 to 1 ......for a free shot at 1,350,000 dollars ....any questions ???
p.s. I know the house gets some but wouldn't that make a great story ?

This brings to mind another subject- I heard that every player must stay at the Venetian for $179/nite with tax probably more like $195. Whether they have to stay 9 nites i dont know but anyway this will cut into any winnings and yes i know you can probably have up to 3 others in the room but how much does that suck?

Also from what i heard, just such an arrangement brought down the Hilton tour when the Hotels didnt get the room nites they were promised/expected and pulled the plug. I just see this as a potential fly in the ointment.
 
Not quite on subject... but I anticipate that all the IPT players will keep track of their expenses for tax purposes... like for travel and lodging... and maybe clothing.

At the end of the year, perhaps one or two would share what they actually made during the year.

There could be some serious, and I mean SERIOUS dumping on something like this. I wouldn't want to be on the other end of a bunch of pool players betting...lol. I like star wars so I will quote OB1, "You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villinary.:eek: :D

the only way i can see a possible "dump" scenario is on a private bet ...... unless...

Stan James limits their payouts on snooker and pool to 100,000 pounds per event. I'm not sure if they do this by limiting the amount that can be bet (ie. only allowing a total of 200 pounds to be bet on a 500/1 bet) or if the payout adds up to 500,000 pounds they only pay each winner a fifth of what they were supposed to get. I think and would hope that it is the first method that they use.

Efren is down from 14-1 and i think Darren Appleton is down some. Shouldnt some moves been made in the other direction.

If all the 750-1's had been moved to 1000-1, it still would not have made up for the Efren move from 14-1 to 10-1 would it?. Mathemeticians?
 
Wow! Rafael Martinez went from 600-1 to 125-1. I thought that first line was way off. :confused:

Yeah me too-I didnt notice that change so who is going up in odds? Or is Stan James just making this a worse bet as we go along?

What does E/W on the betslip mean?
Thanks!

You bet them 'each way' which means you have equal amounts on 'win' and for lack of a better word 'show'. SHow for this event is top 4 and it pays 1/4 odds. So if you bet $1.00 each way on a 400-1 shot, you spend $2.00 and if he/she finishes first you get $500 (400 +100)-if he finishes 2, 3 or 4th, you get $100.
