Does that mean that I only win $45 when I bet 50 if the Niners win by at least 4?

if so... that's weak

well, you're garaunteed to get what you bet back-- so you'd get your 50 back, and then i guess another 45 on top of that.

I did a 2 team parlay

$50 wins $150

Niners -3.5

Eagles -3

That's a good bet Now let me win!

of course, i know nothing about betting at all.. and if i did, i'd probably lose everytime. i'd rather just watch the games to enjoy them.
