Anyone playing Nets to win the series...

Check out the exact games odds.

Nets in 4 / 30:1
Nets in 5 / 15:1
Nets in 6 / 08:1
Nets in 7 / 08:1

So if you split your $$ evenly, your effective winnings are:

Nets in 4 / 27:1
Nets in 5 / 12:1
Nets in 6 / 05:1
Nets in 7 / 05:1

+500 smells sweeter than +240 :shrug:

your math and logic is incorrect:

Base each wager on $100

nets in 4 = 2700 profit
nets in 5 = 1200 profit
nets in 6 = 500 profit
nets in 7 = 500 profit

Nets on the series price = +960 profit
(you're wagering $400 here not $100 to equal your split bets above)

So if the nets win in 6 or 7 you essentially lose $460, but if the win in 4-5 you win more.

Bleh, my math sucks, disregard

400*2.4 + 400 = 1360

100*25 + 100 -300 = 2300
100*15 + 100 -300 = 1300
100*8 + 100 -300 = 600
100*8 + 100 -300 = 600

Bet them at +240

Good timing, thanks for the help.

OK, thinking some more...

If you play just Nets in 6 or 7, you do better than the series odds:

Nets in 6 / 1 unit => 8 units
Nets in 7 / 1 unit => 8 units

Nets win Series / 2 units => 6.8 units
