Episode 53 - What is a Sports Card RAZZ?

[@mescalero2883]

So when I see something like below on FB, what does this mean? What is meant by "safe"? Any clarification would be appreciated. 1. Gets card or 80% 2-5. safe 6.-8. Sorry 35 each

[@ParlayJaySports]

Great question! That’s referred to as a “bottoms” or a “fatal” 1 means you win the card or can opt for 80% of the money put in rather than the card 2-5 means you didn’t win the card but you don’t have to pay the entrance fee 6-8 means you didn’t win the card AND you have the pay the entrance fee. This is why it’s sometimes called “bottoms” because you don’t want to end up in the bottom numbers Hope this helps

Still doing Razz or more likely 'Draft' right now coz as you explained, all spots will have their own cards, no losers, all winners. However, the value of the last pick might have no value at all.

[@ParlayJaySports]

It is surely possible

Hey I posted my first razz and did a war so two spots and if they win they get 3 spots for 1/2 off and I was wondering what do you do if you fill the war? Does it take 3 from the original 10 spots or add an extra 3 spots?

[@ParlayJaySports]

I think you mean a filler or a mini right? (I have not heard it be referred to as a war)- if so then typically what’s done is if there are 2 spots remaining- there will be a filler that contains let’s say 5 spots- and the. The top two spots in the filler get the final 2 spots remaining in the main.

I've been in a few from a facebook group and never won. I just won my first razz from Investacard. Only $20 for a PSA Bam rookie! I was beyond excited!!

[@ParlayJaySports]

@Shelly Congrats on the win!! Always awesome when that happens!

Great video and very informative to collectors/hobbyists out there. I suggest asking the person doing the Razz if they are using a paid subscription for random.org (multi-round giveaway service). This ensures the randomization was truthful and gives a code to check its validity. People have been scammed by fake randomizations.

[@ParlayJaySports]

That’s a good precaution to consider for sure but I would be careful to assume that everyone using a the free version of random.org is a scammer.

[@716Breakers]

@@ParlayJaySports 100% agree with that, I used the free version until I even knew that was a possible concern to people and now I use a paid subscription. Just an FYI, if anything it will let the breaker know you're informed

Great video. Very well spoken. Type of guy I would love to be friends with

[@ParlayJaySports]

Thank you for watching!! I really appreciate it!

[@4HoopsAndHomers]

Great explanation Jay....I see them all the time on the Gram, but I not 100%...would like to try it before regs are applied

[@ParlayJaySports]

It’s definitely out there! Let me know how it goes if you do give it a go.

[@justiceforall3973]

Thanks for the video Jay, you, definitely, hit the nail on the head when you said you gotta have some self control in these razzes as the odds are NOT in your favor. I have a request, do you think you can post a video and teach people on how to start up a razz? Like, how do we start one, who do we turn to or look to pay to start a razz... I think a video like that would be greatly informative and appreciated. TIA, have a great day.

[@ParlayJaySports]

Thanks for watching! I’m glad you found it helpful- I can definitely work on a video on that topic!

[@npssports9747]

I agree thats going to be a no for me. I can use that is money i can put elsewhere in my hobby. $20 is like 1 Freddie Freeman rookie. Go Braves!!!

[@ParlayJaySports]

How much is a panini crusade tatis jr rookie card

[@ParlayJaySports]

Best place to check comps are eBay sold listings

[@jackog44]

Razzing is a disgusting fractional gambling practice where most of the time the summed value of spots is above the value of the card hence over an infinite lifetime of razes you definitely lose money statistically

[@ParlayJaySports]

@@jackog44 it’s a gamble for sure - it’s definitely not for everybody.
