How can the second game have action if the the result for the first game will be unknown at the start of the second game?

What&#x27;s the benefit of betting "if win" bets? Does it pay better?

Meathook13 · Answer

I have never played one, but I can see some definite hedging opportunities.

&#xD;&#xA;I was reading up on it and seems to me that the only benefit that I can see is that it saves you money if they both lose and if they both lose you only pay juice for one game.  &#xD;&#xA;Let&#x27;s take my example above, if Milwaukee wins then I get $500 from that, then that $500 (plus juice) gets placed on Memphis and if Memphis wins then I win a flat $1000 for both bets.  But lets say Milwaukee wins but Memphis loses.  Then I pay the juice for the memphis bet for $25 dollars.&#xD;&#xA;But if the Bucks lose then both bets get cancelled and I lose -525.  &#xD;&#xA;I DON"T LIKE IT!!!
