    Betting A.R.'s
    Anyone ever heard of betting A.R. ? I have been on offshore sites for a while and never seem to see this type of betting option. I do this type with my local.

    Heres how it works:
    You pick two teams or totals of bet on, like you would a parlay 2.

    Here are all the possible out comes:
    1. Your picks both hit and you win for times the amount you bet, which in this case is $400.

    2. One of your picks hit but one doesn't. You would lose $105(incl. juice, my local charges 5%).

    3. Both of your picks misses. You lose $210(incl. juice)

    4. One pick hit and the other pushes. You get you money back which in this case is $100.

    5. Both picks push. Never had this happen to me but I'm pretty sure you get your money back.

    So what do you guys think about this betting type and have you seen this before?

        This is known as an Action Reverse wager.

                hard to believe that there are actually punters out there who make bets, not even understanding the rules of the game they are playing

                  i hate morons like this AR stands for action reverse and its a sucker bet, if you split you lose double juice and if you push a wager it goes double on the remaining one.

                      that's good VT but it seems you must have learned it since post#6 where you were expressing surprise at the outcome

                        wish the op would actually learn about gambling before posting such questions.
