Topic: Looking For Vig-Free Action On Sports? - page 7. (Read 4013 times)
Looks like i wont be able to tell if i want to make this play until really close to game time. So i dont know if you are trying to hold off from making a play at a sportsbook or not. If you are i would say go ahead and book your play at a sportsbook because i am really not sure if i will end up making the play or not.
Ill know in about 30 min if im going to take this bet or not. Ill post in the thread. It will probably be for 0.1 BTC
ya no problem ill be sure to post in here if i decide to do so. can you post the vig free line?
That one is odd .. It's actually 1:1 now.
So .1 btc to win .1.
Usually doesn't happen that way with ML, but public says it's going to be a close one

Might take the rangers. Like i said im not escrowing you will have to trust me just like i will have to trust you. Ill let you know if i decide to take this bet. Can you post the vig free line please
Eh, sure. So yeah, just say:
"Risking X btc to win X btc on rangers"
Once you do that and i'll reply with "booked" and once that's done. Then it's complete and then it's on. Try doing that at least 30 minutes before the game.
I think you can ask escrow.ms. He always ready to help in this kind . and he is also very trusted n BTCtalk.
if this thing work, it will great for us sports better.

Lets see if we can get anything going here. Willing to bet up to .5 btc on these total.
NHL:
Rangers/Canadiens Over 5
Kings/Blackhawks Over 5
Canadiens ML
MLB:
Reds/Nats Over 6.5
Astros/Angels Over 7.5
Once again, vig-free .. escrow required.

i may take part in this every once in awhile. However, i am not going to escrow. You are just going to have to trust me.
I respect this, but it would just never happen if you don't escrow. You're setting the wrong message.
I myself am willing to escrow and I'm the guy trying to run it.
Also i do have a question. When it comes to ML sports like NHL and MLB. How is vig free calculated? I should probably know this since i have been sports betting for years but i guess since i am never making a vig free bet i have never thought about it.
Good question. We're so used to betting with house edge so we never come up with it.
Lets take a game tonight: Marlins @ Giants.
1. Go to pinnaclesports.com
2. Current line is: marlins +124 / giants -134
3. Enter these lines in the vig free calc @ 0vigcalc.150m.com/calc.htm
4. Get +/- 128
Make sense?

Everyday I look at the gambling thread and the amount of sports guys we have in this forum and can't help but think why nobody has the anger as me when it comes to the vig in sports betting.
With bitcoin I think we have a huge advantage to eliminate this if we can a couple regulars that are up for some peer-to-peer wagering.
Here's an example of how a wager would be posted:
I want Heat -3.5. Risking .1 btc to win .1 btc.
If somebody comes back with "booked".
Then the wager is on. I'll document and post all of this in a google doc to track everything.
Interested members - PLEASE post or PM if this is something you would be up for and if you can make any suggestions.
FAQ
What Am I Proposing?
A way to bet on sports and/or entertainment vig-free.
How ?
Create a SELF MODERATED thread to would only allow verified members of the thread to post the wagers they want to make.
If there's an unverified member the post will simply be removed.
What's a verified member?
Somebody that has escrowed an amount of money to a wallet and verified they have btc to wager.
When do you escrow and when will you be paid out?
The best way this would work is once a week. For example, you would escrow the money you are willing to wager on Tuesday. Then have Tuesday-Monday to gamble. If you win, the moderator (me) will send you the payout. If you lost, then you don't really need to do anything.
What's in it for you?
I'm dying for vig-free action. So that's what's in it for me. I'll probably eventually ask to take a cut of the winnings once we get everything tweeked, but for now work off tips if winners are so inclined.
