100 reverse pays 4-1 if u win both
u split, u loose 120, see how that works? U bet 2 games 100 each and split u only drop 10 bucks.... If you loose both, its 220. You crush it if you win, but if you split that sucks.
Not just 100 reverse, any reverse pays 4-1

Wouldn't it be 320?

100 Win Team A
100 win Team B
100 reverse

no... its 4-1. Thats how the main bookie around here does it, and thats how I have to do it to this guy, since he thinks im laying his bets off. think about it 100 win a, wins 200 win b wins equalls 400, almost like parlay

So the reverse costs nothing?

I'm obviously not understanding.

If you bet two games for 100 normally, you win both you are up 200, if you split, you are down $10, if you lose both you are down 220.

a reverse is a double "if" bet

team a and teamb

you make a $100 reverse , you have 2 "bets"

team a if to team b

and

team b if to team a

if both win you can see you win $400

if 1 wins and 1 losses you lose - $120

if both lose you lose $220

Ok, so if you have two straight 100$ bets and this $100 reverse bet, your total risk is $440?
