Question by Jesse L: Perfect Sports Betting Strategy?
This question relates to sports betting. This is what you do.. you take the underdog with the spread...then, with someone else, in the same, you take the favorite but don't give a spread. Using this system you cannot lose, only win. For example..

Denver vs Portland...Denver is the underdog, and gets 7 points

You take on Denver with the 7 point spread.
With someone else, you take on Portland, but without giving a spread.

If Denver wins by any amount, you win that bet...
If Portland wins by more than 7, you win that bet...
In both these cases you are winning one and losing the other which cancels your bets.

BUT, IF PORTLAND WINS WITHIN 7 POINTS, YOU WIN BOTH BETS...GIVING YOU , WHILE THE WORST THAT CAN HAPPEN IS TYING.

Does anyone see any flaws in this system which will cause someone to lose money? Also, what do you guy think..
no bill it is with another person so there are no odds..therefore u cannot lose, only win.

with someone else?..are you talking about a person or a casino ?..if your talking about a person,then i would have to look for him (her)..no thanks.If your talking about a casino,then by betting both teams..YOU LOSE!..the money your betting isn't even odds..it's -110 to the dollar,that means your giving the casino a little more than you bet....now...if Portland wins by 7 and you win both you say?..well..here is the scenario on that.Portland is a 7 point favorite..if Portland wins ''within 7''...you didn't cover the spread..so you didn't win both bets.Bottom line..the casinos i think have thought of that one all ready though..you gave it a good try...be careful on messing with these race in sports books..they will eat you alive...i have lived in las Vegas since 1972...i have made sports bets..but i am extremely careful...good luck and have a nice day.

oh..i almost forgot,if i didn't understand what you were saying,which i might have..forgive me..I'm not the brightest guy in the word.Maybe your system works!..I'm not sure..but still...don't mess with las Vegas sports books...whatever you have thought of,so have they.

ok..i get it..well!,if that person comes along..then you can't lose..sorry i misunderstood you..you have a good idea...good luck.
