with such little detail.... sounds like they are covering your bet...but don't know if that means you bet and lost so they should cover it...or you bet $200 and they were taking your bet :shrug:

You say,"I think Dallas is going to kick the Giants ass".

Somebody says I'll cover it for $200.

That means YOU have a $200 bet on Dallas if you accept the bet.

No.......I am on the phone and a friend says "If you bet $200 on team "A" I will cover it for you"

It means they want you to place the bet and if the bet loses, they pay you the $200, as though they'd placed it themselves.

It means " Man if I had $200 , I'd put it on the Steelers " Next guy says " I'll cover ya "

If it won, he owes you $200 , otherwise you need to fork over some money.

sounds like a friend wanted too make a wager and didnt have a local bookie/online account to place the wager, so he asked you too put it in for him. I am guessing he meant he had the cash if it lost and expected too collect if it won:shrug:

or i am way off i dunno
