Thanks, but to be honest this part: "So I know if I bet 1100 on a +191 bet I win 1000", confused the shit out of me. That makes no sense to me what so ever.
actually on here it is shown 1.91
so basically 2.00 would be even money using odds.
if you bet a dollar you win a dollar making it 2.00 as the pay out.
So at 1.91 if you bet a dollar you win 91 cents. for a 1.91 payout.

I think he is wrong. (but dont bet on it LOL)
I think +300
On a 100 bet, you would win 200.
Of course I am not a bettor either.
I only do it here on the hoop.
So I know if I bet 1100 on a +191 bet I win 1000.

but you might ask our sites oddsmaker for a real answer LOL

Not trying to be mean here, but what Schmoopy posted above about odds was completely wrong.

If you bet 1100 to win 1000, then the odds are 1.91, NOT +191.

1.91 does NOT mean the same thing as +191, which is completely different.

1.91 is European odds, and it would be written in American odds as -110.

It's all good. I still don't quite grasp it which is why my wallet will stay in my pocket.

I don't know why they can't just say it pays "3 to 1" or "10 to 1" or whatever instead of the way they do it now. It just seems so much simpler.

It's what Robotech said it was earlier. He was correct:

If you stake $100, you'd get $400 back. Thus, you would've won $300.

Earl is getting bold ..... Guarantees Ravens will play in Super Bowl ....



For Earl Thomas, the Super Bowl is a matter of who, not if -- as in, who will Baltimore play?

Four days before two of the four winningest teams in the NFL face off, the veteran safety was asked if 49ers-Ravens was a possible Super Bowl preview.

He said that's at least half-right.

"You think the 49ers are going to the Super Bowl? It could be, let's see," Thomas told reporters, per The Baltimore Sun. "We'll just go out there and try to play the best football we can possibly do. And when the Super Bowl comes, whoever we play, they're going to be in trouble."





The former Seahawk speaks like a man who has been there and done that, which he has, against the 49ers and on the biggest stage -- just not with his current team. The Ravens (9-2), of course, can continue backing up their bulletin board material in Baltimore this Sunday against the NFC's top seed. To Thomas' point, his team is already playing like a Super Bowl finalist, winning seven in a row and boasting the league's largest point margin (plus-184). That includes convincing decisions against the Patriots and Seahawks, who are responsible for the 49ers' lone setback this season.

San Francisco itself is coming off a blowout win against a division leader in the Packers. In fact, both the 49ers (10-1) and Ravens head into their Week 13 showdown just days removed from wins of at least 28 points against winning teams, which is a first in NFL history. Each team also ranks in the top five in both scoring offense and defense.

Perhaps they actually will meet again in Miami in about two months.

"These guys are the best team in football," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said of the 49ers after Monday night's win, per ESPN. "They're playing at the highest level right now. I don't know. Nobody's crowned, like I said. They're the best team in football right now. February's when they make that decision still."

KC is good, but they haven't been super consistent on defense... I just don't think overall they're as good as the Pats or Ravens.... Playoff are the playoffs though, upsets do happen...

I'd say the Patriot are better than the Chiefs because of the Pats D but that makes the assumption that the Pats Offense will be good enough. As we can still see right now that that's far from certain.

Next week will be a good test.

Besides your Ravens, who's gonna beat them ? Chances are barring any major injuries of course, it's looking like a Ravens Pats AFC title game....

Regular season? They could lose the next two.

Playoffs? KC is a scary team for anyone.

I agree, but they can out score anyone with Mahomes and those weapons. NE’s offense is as weak as it’s been in a long time. I’m not trying to disrespect them. I’m just not as scared of them as I’ve been in the past.

See what I mean? :suds:

With the Patriots' loss to the Texans on Sunday night :(, Ravens now hold the #1 seed in the AFC.

I don't remember the play before. Was it a pass interference or something?

The lucky play for the Seahawks wasn't the immediate play before, but a few plays before that on the same drive, when they got a large chunk of yardage because of the Kearse catch: the juggling catch by Jermaine Kearse, where the ball bounced multiple times on different parts of his body before he caught it on his back.

Don't forget the part where another Patriots player jumped over Kearse because he wanted to avoid a late hit. :L
