Sports Gambling Question.
If the over/under is 38, and the final score is 21 to 17, who wins? Anybody?
If the line is Panthers -7, and the final score is 17 to 10 Pats, who wins? Anybody?

If the spread is seven and the team giving the points wins by seven it is a PUSH.
JC FUN GAMBLING FAX: I "pushed" on the Super Bowl a few years back (Rams / Titans).
Not going to happen this year, as I have a bet with none other than the originator of this thread, and New England is going to clobber Carolina by like three touchdowns.
(The line we agreed to was Carolina+7. FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!)
What am I getting when I win, again? $20, was it?
Do you need my address? You can get a head start on sending it through the post.

Sure. But the bookie, getting the 38, wins both bets because he's an asshole.pinback wrote:What if two people bet against each other? "I'll take the over." "Okay, I'll take the under."
Then if it was 38, they BOTH lose, and therefore it would seem to me that it IS a push.
He "cleans up."
He "gets all the moneieis."
He "has to send Guido and Merlot out to break some kneecaps because these fucking degenerates take forever to fucking pay."
He "throttles Benjamin 'Pinback' Parrish for not paying him back soon enough with a tire iron and canvas bag."
Are you thinking of betting on the under? You are, aren't you? Interesting. Very, very interesting. I certainly hope you've thought this through.

I'm glad I was here to help you out on this. There's no push on the over-under.

I wagered money on those fucking squares as well as who would score the first touchdown. (I ended up with Kevin Dyson, Fucking Munger the Panthers' Shitty TE, Tom Brady and Ricky Proehl. It was random who I got.)
All I did on this Super Bowl was lose money. God dammit.

Dude. If you got Kevin Dyson, you deserved to lose money. He's a fucking Titan.Ice Cream Jonsey wrote:I wagered money on those fucking squares as well as who would score the first touchdown.
