How does sports betting work in vegas? What are the payouts, is there juice?

What William H said in his answer is how most of the bets work — a commission of one-eleventh on winning bets. Suppose your team is favored by 6 points ("giving 6", shown as -6 on the board, with the underdog shown as +6). You pay $11 and get a ticket. If your team wins by more than 6, you take your ticket back to the window and get back $21 (your original $11 is returned, plus an $11 win, minus a $1 commission so that your net win is only $10). If your team loses, or wins by less than 6, your ticket is worthless and you’re out the $11. If your team wins by precisely 6, you turn in the ticket and get your $11 back. If you bet more than $11, the commission is still one-eleventh of the amount. You might bet $88 in the hope of getting a net win of $80.

The second-most-common form of sports betting is the "money line". You can bet your team to win, straight up, regardless of the point spread. You’ll be laying odds if you bet the favorite, and getting odds if you bet the underdog. An example of a money line might be: Los Angeles -250, New York +200. If you bet LA you’ll bet $250, and if LA wins the game (by any margin), you’ll get back your $250 plus winnings of $100 (no commission). If you bet New York you’ll bet $100, and if New York wins, you’ll get back your $100 plus winnings of $200. You can bet a fraction or multiple of the listed amount, of course. The amount listed is, for simplicity, keyed to a $100 win on the favorite and a $100 loss on the underdog.

If the teams are thought to be evenly matched, you might see a money line in which both have a negative number (both at -110, or one at -105 and one at -120). That means that, whichever team you bet, you have to give the casino odds. You’ll risk losing more than you stand to gain. That’s how the juice is implemented in the money line for a close game.

These two basic forms account for almost all the sports betting. There are some more exotic bet forms, such as parlays and teasers. You should probably stay away from them until you’re more experienced.

I have an essay due tomorrow on this and I need some more details. I have make friends,fun,healthly lifestyle but I need to elaborate more. Can anyone help? I’ll give you ten points!

So, I want to change my yahoo avatar to the logo of my favourite sports team, but I have no idea how. Can you please help me?

Thanks!

If you want a photo/custom picture as your avatar you need to make a yahoo 360 account. http://360.yahoo.com/login.html?.done=http://360.yahoo.com/

The photo needs to be saved on your computer as a jpg file, don’t worry about the size to much yahoo will adapt it. Then go to the following 4 steps. below

1> Go to your 360 page then click "my page” (top of page).

2> Click "edit personal photo" (on the left above photo window).

3> Click “browse” choose the photo from your photos click "save", Set as primary and "save".

4> Go to your “edit my profile” http://answers.yahoo.com/my/my_edit click “use my yahoo 360 picture” scroll down and press "preview", and then "OK" in the next screen.
And your done.

Yahoo engineers are still working on improvements throughout all yahoo sites and some avatars may be slow to show (it could even be a day or so) so try to be patient.

I am an athlete currently in gr 11 highschool i specilize in 100m and 200m i expect to be racing for a while. Is there any programs in college or uiversity that atrract athletes?

Information is below.

I’m wondering how some school finance sports like track and field, swimming or golf.

There was an excellent article in Sports Illustrated recently on this very issue.

Basically, most "minor" sports, such track & field, swimming, and golf, are subsidized by the "revenue" sports, which are basketball and football. Many of these programs are virtual cash cows; i.ei. Louisville basketball provided $17+ million in profit to the university’s athletic program. Football contributed a lesser amount, but it was still several million dollars.

So much for the "big" successful university programs. Most programs don’t turn a profit, especially if you deduct "student athletic fees," which are mandatory for full-time students, and which can be several hundreds per year, per student. Add to the the costs associated with owning a football stadium (which is used, at most, 7 times a year), and most university athletic programs do NOT produce a profit. State subsidies, and contributions by sports-crazed alumni make up the rest.

Can a US citizen go to a website like www.nine.com that is located offshore in South America and wager, make money, win, and deposit the money in US accounts? Is it a state by state issue or what?

you can only do that if the credit card you use isnt processed by a US company. The government didnt ban internet gaming just the processing of credit card transactions related to it. so if you’re sure you are getting around that I believe you are ok. My sense, from what my friends tell me, is that you will have a hard time getting around that.

what is the best online sports betting site that accept moneybookers or netteller from US players? I basically wanna use a sportsbook that I can deposit and withdraw when I win to an account like moneybookers. Most sites only allow moneybookers for non US players. I don’t wanna do that. Any suggestions would be much appreciated, Thanks

First, moneybookers doesnt allow you to transfer money from US to gambling sites, so the sites cant do nothing. There is not site that will allow you do that. There are USA welcome sites that accept all access visa gift card, its prepaid card that you can buy from stores.

try espn.com they should have it.

It seems as if each time my family gathers we end up talking about sports. The conversation eventually turns to sports movies. Each person always has a different opinion, but I always learn what new movies are out there. That is why I am asking this question here.
