How do we access prop bets (laptop)?

Just click the link at the top where it says: [Click Here For This Week's Props]

But you're right ... not exactly prominent.

I'll be updating that with an updated navbar, but still playing with some things and haven't come up with a final for that.

My weekly "Your Sportsbook Clearly Has It In For Me" post.

In the "Prop Bets" category, both my DeMario Douglas receiving yards prop bets (+25 yds & +40 yds) are posted as losses despite Douglas' 69 yds receiving.

I was curious about this. Based on how the other sites list it, and how they described it, the lower one gets bumped if the player reaches the higher one. The plus allows for that # or above until the next category.

Has anyone played those elsewhere? And are they counted that way? Or do they count anything above that Total?

 

[Ian]

Based on the odds, the above sort of checks out, but again, curious if anyone else has experience with this on those sites.

What's there to be curious about?

2 COMPLETELY independent bets

And your Sportsbook treats both my bets as losses

I sort of figured that, but then I was also wondering if the higher number maybe takes precedent over the lower when they are stacked like that against the lower one,.

And I will definitely fix this, just trying to understand how they are counted elsewhere so I can make sure if I do make a correction, that I get it right the first time.

@jmt57 and @Guts , curious about your thoughts on this.

Walk into Caesar's Palace, place these two bets, get two tickets....
You really think Caesar's will only honor one?

I didn’t mean that, I meant in terms of if they have tiered results, whether or not they interpret the lower amounts the same way if the actual number hit the other category

Like I said, based on the odds, that’s where it was confusing. For example, the lower number, in theory, should’ve had negative odds since the probability of those hitting should have been higher. That’s why I wondered about this and I’m glad you brought it up.

And, lol, these are theoretical coins. So I clearly don’t really have a dog in this fight, I just want to make sure I’m doing it right. And I’ll absolutely fix it.

FYI.....looks like many if not all the winning prop bets are tabulated as losses

Not a big deal. When the formula is updated, everything will get retabulated, and I’ll go back and look at last weeks as well. The way it’s set up, it’s an easy fix.

@jmt57 and @Guts , curious about your thoughts on this.

Sorry for the delay, just got back home. An old friend of the Mrs. recently passed, we spent the whole day for his service plus friends-and-family get together down in Bradenton.


Something does not sound right, but I've never been big on prop bets.

It looks to me that @borg is correct, but I'm not the person to ask on this subject.

I've always been more into typical spreads and moneylines, plus parlays and teasers. Never really messed with props.

Another FYI......
The SF & LA Ram money line payoffs are reversed
Rams won 27-24

 

[Ian]

OK - this has been corrected.

So with Rodgers throwing for 281, the following bets all hit:


Same with the 69 yards from Demario Douglas:


I apologize for this. Last week's have also been corrected:

Several of you received a bump from this

As I mentioned, I figured we'd have some kinks early on, but thanks to the feedback, I've been getting them all worked out. And kudos again to @borg for the heads up, and to @jmt57 for confirming and helping me get this cleared up

Saw that, was in the middle of updating those when you posted and that's been fixed.
