#254 Posted: 3/6/2011 3:10:09 PM incredibly good thread and quite smart of you to do it...well maybe lol
1. Do you hold everything all the time? Is there ever a time when you need to lay off for one reason or the other?
2.How does a book deal with a guy who is most times on the right side of the over night number when getting down right away. If there is anything that can be down? I do realize overnights are circled but still wonder if you keep an eye of guys like this?
3. is it smart to put ones self in a position to have a 2-3 points spread on good numbers in a middle situation even if you might have to buy .5 of a point either way? Or should one just sit on the play at the good number.. say like getting down on an opening number of 5 and closer of 7 in NFL or -2 and +4 NBA?
4. What the heck is the cause of the major line moves on NBA totals come between 6 and 6:45PM EST most nights? I have a pretty good idea but would like to hear your thoughts?
This is one the best threads ive run into out here...props for standing up and getting involved.
I will have many many more things to throw at you as Ive been in and around this business for almost 40 years now and that has been on very side of the fence possible ;) |

#255 Posted: 3/6/2011 3:53:35 PM wow major coincidence here as i just stumbled on this website today while shopping around for another sports book and its pretty ugly as far as BP goes..
Bet Phoenix - Deposit Only SportsbookRead this on Bookies Forum
It is being reported, on many forums that, Bet Phoenix continues, to take deposits, while No pay and Slow pays continue to pile in. Bet Phoenix Players are being told, withdrawls coulds take up to 17 business day to get processed, if they get thier funds at all. Bookies Forum warned players 6 months ago, that Bet Phoenix had all the warning signs of a scam sportsbook destined to fail. Last edited by The Runner; 08-06-2010 at 04:35 AM.

#257 Posted: 3/10/2011 2:31:08 PM i am wondering why you dont post all totals for ncaa hoops.it seems as if you are hand picking adjusted lines from other books.That is a little bogus if its the case.post them and make your adjustments as the money moves the lines.It is a pain to try and play totals with this book.Very bush league practice imho. |

#258 Posted: 3/13/2011 10:01:32 PM If someone can consistently hit 73% betting half totals. How long before you cut them off ?
Gambling seems to be a no win situation. You lose when you first start due to ignorance. If you work hard and figure out how to beat it. Then nobody will let you play anymore and if they do it's for a $100.00 a game.  |

Good points, but I would love to know how you do so well on second half totals, as that is some excellent handicapping by you.

I was 0-2 on 2nd halfs last week. Hard to handicap the fouls at the end. You can get 20-25 points last minute easy.
It's 1st half's I crush. 20-5 on posted 1st half tourney plays last week. 4 of the loss's came down to last possesion or could of been a really sick week. I got so good by hardwork. Working on averaging for hours and hours. Finally figured it out. |
