It's not a national football game bet where you can reasonably expect the rules to be set in stone and the same as all other games. It's a damn "HU poker challenge" on pokershares for christs sake.. Could be ****ing anything. Google it before firing $3000 on it.
Lol @ anyone finding out that Bill Perkins v Landon Tice even exists and NOT be aware of the bb/100 stipulation. Ridiculous. Timex is kinda spot on with "are you dumb?"
What's next - betting on Charlie Carrel beating 500z and being upset when you didn't win the bet after he won a hand? "I mean he beat the other guy in the hand so it should count what do you mean bb/100 50k hands???"
I played poker professionally for over a decade. I have no clue who Landon Tice is. He could be some massive businessman loser for all I know. The line is -109 both ways. Your telling me I should be punished if I bet on Tice on a hunch? No way. Not everyone is a poker nerd and sniffs all the pros underpants day in and day out.
Secondly this challenge will have more action on it than some major sport props like NFL. So do not try to mask this like some little poor shop is being taken advantage of.
Pokershares has probably made more money off of taking Bill Perkins action than the combined net worth of whoever was involved in the company when the business launched. They can certainly afford to take the worst of it for a few thousand on one of their errors.
Heres another good comparison from a prop at a big book that I took advantage of and is very comparable to this challenge. The prop was on NCAA Football and was
“Who will have more Rushing yards”
Najee Harris -120
Or
Some scrub on other team -120
I bet Harris with no yards handicap because they did not list it. It should have been -80 yards or so. They fixed it but my action was live and I won and was paid
So your telling me it is the bettors responsibility to go and see how bad the other guy is or who good the defense is hes going against?
That is absolutely laughable if you think yes. Its Joe Publics job TO BET. It is the bookies job to set a line.
Set a line and take a bet , the action is live/ thread
