Come up with a new idea for sportsbooks that has never been tried

CHOPTALK · Jul 14, 2006

I have a few.

7 inning baseball lines.

The sportsbooks could come out with a debit card where you can instantly withdrawl your winnings as soon as the plays are graded.

I have more, I would like to hear what others would have to say.

Lots of sportsbooks read this forum.

In order to qualify, your suggestion has to be something that has never been done before by a sportsbook.

THANKS.

Excellent topic and one hopefully many offshore sportsbooks will be reading.

Thanks CHOP

An IF-LOSE bet option up to 20 games that are in progress simultaneously
so i can double up, go 0-20, and lose my entire BR on one NFL Sunday.

came up with live interactive wagering myself....about 1997...pitched it to some sportsbooks and investers...ended up getting the funding to start it...but ended up going with another project....the sportsbook was known as "HEDGE-A-BET"...damn did i let that 1 get away...knew it was a goldmine...

I think I remember that, seemed like a scam at the time.

IF bets of your choice and amount of your choice that include parlays. Pinny used to do it. You could if off up to a three tm parlay and bet the amount you wanted up to 3 teams. I used to love it. Heck if I win 5000 the 1500 on this. Its a great Idea and was the reason I stayed at Pinny forever from the beginning even with out a computer that I finally got in 2002.

I miss it!

This may already exist, but:

If you have a 5-team parlay going, and you've won 4 already and the 5th hasn't started, be able to take the money you won as a four-team parlay and cancel the 5th game.

Man I would be happy off of an if-bet on an already existing play via computer. I knew of Carib doing that but not many books are doing that.

Conditionally credit winning $$ on games that are "in" the bag. A 15-2 game with an over of 7 1/2 in the 6th inning in a domed stadium.

Prove that funds are really securely held seperately, not just lie about it.

Come up with a new idea for sportsbooks that has never been tried ....live "in race horse betting" :>Grin>

Margin!! Just like every brokerage.

Simple - If you have X games bets, let you rebet X/3 or X/4 dollars.

More complex - Have a system in place that determines the likelihood of each game winnng as they go and credits you some portion as margin as the games are moving along.

this one will seem bizarre, but this would help undisciplined bettors that start betting with their heart IE betting Alma Mattas. I cannot tell you how much I dropped on mine betting for or against. basically, i'd love to tell my book to gray out and block specific teams so I can NEVER bet on them again. Yeah we should have control, but sometimes it is hard holding back

I like all these particularly:

CT: The sportsbooks could come out with a debit card where you can instantly withdrawl your winnings as soon as the plays are graded.

M7: Come up with a new idea for sportsbooks that has never been tried ....live "in race horse betting" ...I've actually espoused allowing that at ALL exchanges-- if you snooze you lose, but it's legitimate-- as with other sports: take the different odds that arise as the race unfolds.

DP: IF bets of your choice and amount of your choice that include parlays. Book should lose 'nothing'(book more actually), when conditioned of If Win.

And, I'll add mine:

Allow unlimited parlaying on ALL sports/events/bets offered: i wanna hook horse matchup(at least allow hooking among them) to soccer(same game parlaying please) to baseball to football second half to an election. AT THE VERY LEAST IT SHOULD BE ALLOWED FOR SIMULTANEOUS EVENTS.

CHOPTALK · Jul 14, 2006

anymore ideas?

TheRightSide · Jul 14, 2006

Yeah I got 1 refund my losing bets. Not sure why a book would let you change the number of games in a parlay. They are in the business to make money not give it away. The more games you play the more chance they have to win.

CHOPTALK · Jul 14, 2006

I have a good one.

Sportsbooks should have posting forums. I have found one obscure book that I have used that has one thats heavly moderated. BETEMPIRE, the 2nd worst book I have ever used.
