yeah... but can't you bet on the spread? Like, I heard the spread was 16. So can't you just do a straight up bet that Patriots cover the spread? So taht if you put down $100 that the Patriots win by more than 16 then you win $100? Can it work like that?
A fair odds bet: Two people want to bet on opposing sides of an event with even odds. They are going to make the bet between each other without using the services of a bookmaker. Each person is willing to risk $100 to win $100. After each person pays their $100, there is a total of $200 in the pot. The person who loses receives nothing and the winner receives the full $200.By contrast, when using a sportsbook with the odds set at −110 vs. −110 with vigorish factored in (the juice), each person would have to risk or lay $110 to win $100. The $10 is, in effect, a bookmaker's commission for taking the action. This $10 is not in play and cannot be doubled by the winning bettor; it can only be lost. A losing bettor simply loses his $110. A winning bettor wins back his original $110, plus his $100 winnings, for a total of $210.
Looks like I got a shot now. Brady's down and NE WRs are having ball control problems. I'm beside myself now. On one hand I want Cassel to blow out KC to show how much Brady is really needed. On the other I might win some cash if they lose.Addition;Now I'm happy. Matt Cassel from the end zone, 3 and long, facing a sack on a safety hits Moss for 50 yards. Fuck Brady. Go Pats. TD, Cassel, Go Pats. 99.5 yard drive. Fuck Brady.

Everything went right for the Chiefs. When I saw Brodie Croyle go down and Damon come in I thought the Chiefs had a serious chance at winning. Damon led them right away down the field for a touchdown. Then they almost tied the game and sent it in to overtime when the best reciever Bowe dropped it in the endzone.
