Grade this wager: 2 team football teaser, one game pushes and one game losses?

Iceman · Oct 15, 2008

In a Vegas sportsbook?

How is the ticket graded?

Would love to hear others opinions of this. Huge article in a gambling paper today. I will go more into detail later but want to hear some discussion first.

house rules...there's no set policy....different houses, different, need to check it before you lay the bet...

Is this a Trick ? It should be a Lost

5teamparlay · Oct 15, 2008

House rules, I would say loser in general, and definitely a loser locally.

MILLWNIUM used to make a big deal as any push was a win, so it was a deviation from the norm.

This rule is standard in all Nevada books.

How is this not a loser?

I can see one end a Push and the other end a win, makes the bet a win.
Can't see a Push and Lost a Win. :think2:

Also, a Push and Win could be No Action

Iceman · Oct 15, 2008

I thought the same thing. Read this article. It is no action.

A tie on a teaser off the betting board reduces it down. On a two team teaser it is NO ACTION.

Here is the article. Very interesting. I never knew this and had to read this article twice but it seems this is true.

It's a push for sure. The way it should be. Offshore took this rule away a long time ago, except for Pinny and a couple others.

vegas rules = push

HarryCaray · Oct 15, 2008

Push + Loss = Push
Win + Loss = Loss

Strange rule...

Iceman · Oct 15, 2008

How many tickets have we all thru away.

0-1-1 and it's a push, WTF. I love it.

hno:

That's the way it has always been in Vegas. Tons of people don't cash their push tickets in Vegas, because they don't know the rules.

the old one tie all tie rule.......the old theory was because you cant have a one team teaser.......so if one pushed the other one is irrelevant.......but most offshores have house rules......tie and a loss is a loss at almost all now......

SportSavant · Oct 15, 2008

FROM 5 DIMES:

If a two-team teaser has a tie and a loser, the teaser loses. You may have your account set up for "Vegas" teaser rules (a tie and a loser = a TIE). By choosing this option, the account will not be eligible for bonuses of any kind. Only teasers played AFTER choosing this option will apply for the "Vegas" rules. Not all accounts will be eligible for this rule change.

2 team teaser is a push when 1 pushes and 1 loses, had benefit from this a couple of times!

yes, ABC Islands used to have this rule with 7 point teasers at lay -110.

as Fishhead would call it, the good old days 4 or 5 years ago.

Also see the rule I posted at 5dimes, its hard to find on their site but I knew exactly where to look.
