I didn't see your name, but maybe I missed it. Just click on one of the bets. ie Dayne Crist starts Game 1

WTF it says I placed one (1) bet on this event, but you're right - my name is not among any of the listed bets. Dang it. Oh well, I still feel like a winner!

Irish Insanity bet $15m on both Dayne and Tommy. If he bet early enough, he broke even. If he bet late, he just lost $10m.

Not how that works. If he bet when 1:3, he would receive his money back plus 1/3 of what he bet or 20M total.

If it was 1:1, a winning 15M bet gets back 30M: your money back plus an amount equal to what you bet.

Somebody tell me if I'm off here.

If he bet when Crist was paying out 1:1, we won $15m on that bet and lost $15m on Rees; thus, breaking even. So yes, he still has the $30m he started with before the two bets; that's what breaking even means.

If he bet late, he won $5m on the Crist bet ($15m at 1:3) but lost the $15m Rees bet, so he comes out -$10m. Put another way, he bet $30m on Crist and Rees, but only "gets back" $20m on the Crist bet, so he's down $10m.

Hell I'm not very good at this playing the odds thing. But I did bet early enough. I believe I broke even. Figured if Rees won I would've made money and if Crist won I would at least break even.

If I had a more substantial bank of Vbucks I'd gamble more.
Oh well! Someday my interest will build up enough to start laying out big time cash.
