Professional Sportsbetting

[redietz]

I feel insane to put any money on this sport at all.

This year I've bet much more on college baseball than MLB.

Still confused though about "action."

These examples are all from Circa.

Here's an MLB total:



Two specific pitchers are "listed," so I assume the bet goes void if either pitcher fails to start. At BetOnline, the pitcher names would be clearly notated "must start."

Now let's do college. This one looks straightforward:



But then there's this:



What's that supposed to mean? You can't "list" a pitcher without the pitcher's name.

It surprises me that when the books offer a choice, they don't vary the odds.

Correction. There's a rule for that:



If you bet "action," and the pitchers don't go as scheduled, Circa can adjust your price.

That's awkward.

Circa can "adjust the price?" Wow.

Reminds me a little of exploratory surgery. You don't have much say in what gets found or what they do when they find it. At least with the surgery, they treat you as if you're unconscious because you are. Circa treats you as if you're unconscious because they say you are.

I wonder what precipitated this. Circa superficially seems like such a player-friendly environment. I know nothing, however, as I've only bet a couple of futures there, and nothing over $1500. I hang out there a bit whenever I'm in town, I did get a nice tour of the place, and kudos on the roof. But "adjusting the price" is bizarro. Like betting thoroughbreds.
