Jay Helfert 20-1 ODDS ON FAVORITE TO WIN the Galveston 1 pocket event

[JoeyA]

WOW!

I knew that GingerBread Man was laying in the bushes waiting to pounce on poor old JoeyA but twenty to one is pretty darn interesting if I might say so myself. :yes:

There are lots of other AZBers whose odds are posted on the BET US link where you can actually make a wager for who wins each event.

Poor old Gulfport Doc is up at 50-1. :shakehead:

It looks like I need to raise my antennae a little higher for the old GB Man.

[JAM]

I don't know who made those lines, but bet QUICK on Brandon Shuff and Ike Runnels. At those odds, you'll make a bundle!

damn, Efren at 5-1 is the play there. The worst line of the year is Earl at 8-1. I'll give 10-1 on Earl if anyone wants it.

 

[corvette1340]

lol, Earl at 8-1 and Gabe at 10-1. Gabe could give Earl 10-7.

JoeyA, do you have any "insider" info on who made those lines?

Luat and Kiamco at 4000 to 1?

lmao, it's not 4000-1. It's +4000. 40-1.

 

[JAM]

lmao, it's not 4000-1. It's +4000. 40-1.

Thanks for the correction.

I am typing on my laptop and can't see the numbers well. My desktop computer is currently being occupied with PokerStars.

I'll ask the question again.

JoeyA, do you know who made the lines for the Galveston one-hole tournament?

 

[Roy Steffensen]

LOL

I notice that my friend Christian Johannessen can give John Henderson weight in one-pocket!

I'm all in on John Henderson!!!

(Sorry Chris)

 

[pooladdict]

Haha, Luat at 40-1 in 1 pocket and myself at 15-1:thumbup:

I have played some cheap 1p with Luat, he liked it much more than me.

But its great that betting is possible online, should be fun

 

[Double-Dave]

Darn, they won't accept registrations from my country.
Anyone wanna place a few bets for me on Efren and Shane?
I like the 5-1 one-pocket for Efren and the same odds on Shane for 10-ball both for $50.

gr. Dave

Are you coming to the tournament? I wish you good luck. It's always nice to root for an AzB-er. So we'll be expecting some updates too.

Have fun! :smile:

P.S. Bring a camera and take pictures!

 

[Roy Steffensen]

If anyone can place $ 100 for me on Bustamante in 10-ball, for 8-1, I'll paypal the money right away.

Please

I just checked on that site. Very few entries so far. Hopefully there will be a lot of last minute sign ups. Pool players like to sign up at the last minute at the event.

 

[gabesmom]

lol, Earl at 8-1 and Gabe at 10-1. Gabe could give Earl 10-7.

Hi Corvette....

I'm a newbie at these things....how do I read it (those odds?)....and what does one do to bet? Not sure if I will yet, (have never done anything like it)but do have some others interested in doing so.

Thanks!

 

[houmatroy]

lol at some of them odds !

My lil arab they got at 12 to 1 and he gets at least 10/7 from the top 1 hole players..got wade at 35 to 1 and he still plays pretty good 1 hole:scratchhead:

basically Gabe is +1000 for one pocket which means he is getting 10-1 odds. Everything is based on $100 bet, meaning if someone is +200 then they are getting 2-1 on the money. Conversely if someone is -200 then you must LAY 2-1 to get that player.

If you want to bet you have to deposit on the site. They do cater to US customers. You can use a credit card but it might decline if your credit card company does not do online gaming transactions. To get around this just call them at the 800 number provided. They will take the credit card by phone and your statement might show something like "WestCoastFurniture" or something similar, lol. Which is a way they get around the transaction by using a third party intermediary. The only thing I don't like about this particular site (and I've tried them all, lol) is that they charge $40 for a couriered check if you want to cash out. You can do a bank wire transfer but it also costs $25. It takes 7-10 business days to cashout but it actually took almost a month when I cashed out the only check I've ever gotten from BETUS.

If you have any questions I believe they offer live chat which is helpful.

+ means that you are getting odds. The numbers are based on a bet of $100. Let's just take Gabe Owen for example, he is +1000. That means that if you bet $100, you will get paid $1000 if he wins. So, he is getting 10-1 on a bet. By the way, I like that line on him. I heard he does not play too bad.:embarrassed2:

I have never used this site and was also wondering if anyone on here has bet with them before. Some sites won't take bets from the U.S.

Just In Case You Didn't Understand Corvette's Post, I Will Basiclly Say The Exact Same Thing!:grin:

Wow, thanks for all that info! You say you don't like this particular site for various reasons. Are there, or will there be, other sites doing this for this tournament that you know of?

I know you're a pro at this stuff, (by many posts I've read)...so if you have any other info/advice, let me know. This sounds fun!

Thanks again!

Thanks rossaroni....I was questioning that part about the odds (which direction they went) a bit in my mind....so thanks for spelling it out for me.

I'll stay tuned to this thread to possibly read about what some of you all plan to do....use that site, or possibly another if there is one.

Thanks again!
