Message: [QUOTE="upperdeck, post: 876094, member: 474"] you have to take taxes into consideration as well.. you lose 30-40% or so you are down to say 30K. you need to make a bet that is going to win other wise you could lose both sides.. what kind of bet could you make to clear 20K other than a bet on FSU moneyline. if that loses you could apply that to taxes against the 50K how would that have played into winnings? the line was at -330 what did it end up at? so bet FSU for 30K to win 40K.. you clear 10K less taxes so 7K. if auburn won you won 50K less the 30K so clear 20K but the taxes are on the 20K so 14K.. if you bet 40K you win 52K so you clear about 8k if auburn won 50K less the 40K the taxes so 10K less taxes so you win 7K if you bet 20K you win 26K so you clear about 4K if auburn wins 50K less the 20K so taxex 30K so you clear 20K.. if you do nothing you win 50K less taxes so 30K you could guarantee 7K or win 30K or win nothing..
