once you have won a bet on betjamaica, how long does it take for the winnings to go back to your account?

But is there a site, or can you tell me, what all of the numbers mean. I know the basics like pt spread and O/U. But thats about it. Also betcris.com is holding a freeroll poker trny on ACR. Top 10 in trny get staked accts on betcris.com. 10th is 300$. If i remember correctly 1st is 2800$

I seem to make more money with my bookie than i do online. I haven't figured out why that is. It could be that i bet games i would not normally if i had to call a guy up.

If you can be a bit more specfic I am sure I can answer anything you need clarification on, there aren't many bets I haven't lost in my time offshore.

When you get into betting on something called a "Pleaser" you are officially a lost cause.

Okay thanks Penguinfan, yeah last night I took the over on the Sac/Hou game and hit it, I was wondering how it worked because I know they had no problem clearing a losing bet as fast as it happened lol. Lets us know how long it takes for you to get your check too.

i was talking about when you said something about a baseball bet at like -120 or -140. what the hell is that

[Penguinfan]

You are farmiliar with betting on football so let's say you bet $100 on Indianapolis today at -9.5 and you lose, you owe the bookie $110 because of the juice, thats the standard everywhere and that is what is know as -110. When you bet on a sport that does not have a point spread like baseball then they adjust the juice accordingly, usually based on the pitching matchup. For example Roger Clemens may be a -230 favorite on any given start which means instead of laying -110 to win 100 you would have to lay $230 to win $100, but you are getting the superior pitcher. On the other end of that is betting on the team Clemens is pitching against, they would be a +200 underdog (or thereabouts depending on the book) meaning you would lay $100 and win $200 if you team wins. When you bet on the favorite the number is -something, when you bet on the underdog the number is +something. Hope that helps.

that makes much more sense now. So all of the 100 and above numbers are based on 100$ bets?

The money is back in your sportsbook account as soon as the game is graded, usually less than 5 minutes after it is over. The only exception is if it is a very late west coast game or Hawaii is playing at home, the wagering dept usually close at 11:00 est and those games get graded first thing in the morning. As far as getting the money from your BetJamaica account to your Neteller account, it took less than an hour for me, I have yet to see how long a check takes if you want the money that way, however just before I came to the board I requested a check by Fedex from another book I use because I hit a few nice wagers there in the last few days, I'll let you know how that goes. They promise less than 5 days total.......
