But gambling didn't exactly disappear from the Italian peninsula. It was simply decentralized to, in Schwartz's description, 'over 100 illicit ridotti and casini.' Casini is the plural of casino, which in Italian means 'small house.' Schwartz comments, 'Originally, a casino was a gathering place, a clubhouse.

If betting to win the superbowl, what does +2000 mean in a sports bet? For example some teams show +2000, +1000, +3000 ,etc and some teams are much smaller +100 or +400. How do you read this? Smaller is obviously not as good as those are favorites to win the superbowl, but how do you know how much this pays in a bet? |
Guest Says:
It's actually pretty easy, just remember thats bets are normally based on a +100 bet. That doesn't mean you have to bet 100 dollars, it just uses that as a marker to tell the payoff. So +2000 means a 100 dollar bet will pay you 2000 dollars, plus your money back, so its 20 to 1. You don't have to bet $100, you can bet $5 and that will pay 20 to 1 so your payoff if you win the bet will be $100. |

What is a football bet or any bet on sports says -103? Does that mean I will have to bet the 103 just to get 103? or at least 103 to get even money? |
Guest Says:
It means you bet 103 to win 100. Its never 50 - 50 on a bet, there is gravy on every bet even when you win. |

A good example is what you see in las vegas sports betting where you see a football game and it shows you the point spread. The point spread may be -7 or +7 telling you a football team is favored by 7 points or an underdog by 7 points. So if you bet on the team that is -7, you must win by more then 7 to win the bet because you are giving 7 points. A tie gets your money back on the bet.
The sports betting line may show -110, its usually -110, -105 or -115 as those are very common. So if your bet was -110 and you bet a $100, and your team wins by 8, you dont win a $100. You were at -110, which in sports betting means you win a $100 if you bet $110, so your $100 bet will win you $90 something etc. |
