Parlay Tennis - 4224 Andy Murray -8½ -101 for Match Basketball - 815 Washington Wizards +510 for Game Basketball - 815 Washington Wizards/Denver Nuggets over 203½ -110 for Game After being in the forum all evening, and posting your straight plays which do well or don't (thats not the point) but a few times when ur singles don't seem to be going the way you'd like and it appears you might have a lil negative day.. (WHICH IS MORE THAN FINE BTW, since you do add lots of great info to the pregame chat) then after all the results are in you all of a sudden throw this huge 20-1 hit parlay that you played but yet there was no mention of it earlier at all... come on dude.. your better than that!! Anyways not hating just pointing out something that you really shouldn't be doing in this great thread.. the pregame info and pregame chatter that you provide is plenty valuable enough bro, no need to throw these 20-1 miracles that you hit but forgot to post after the games are over! lets keep this thread all positive, honest, and an all around great daily very helpfull capping tool for each and everyone of us! |

I'm so convinced that this whole thing was a tout's sales pitch that i'll offer +200 odds that we will not see Mr. cocky, arrogant shogunJB posting daily for a whole month!! actually i'll be shocked if this forum will see even one more post from this loud mouth shmuck!! |

the worst part is.. is that this loser, will just let this thread die (as it obviously didn't gain the following he was looking for) and create a new alias and do the same thing again and again.. till the one time he has JUST ONE lucky day.. then the followers will be hooked and guaranteed this within a few days.. there will be a problem posting on covers, but the plays are still there you just need to call or email...
I know most of you will say, thats okay i just wont pay, as well you shouldn't nor should everyone else ever.. but sadly many people will make that call or send that email and end up paying for picks.. Why should i care, as it obviously does not affect me at all.. well lets just say i'm one of the few honest old school gamblers and still believe in karma, honesty/ and "your word" is one of the most important aspects amongst gamblers.. With that said, many years ago (8 or 9) I as many others have (whether they'll admit or not) got suckered into the "scan"dicapper thing... and one was the infamous B. Lang (ugh).. anyways i have since learned my lesson and to this day many years later i still feel the need to throw out the heads up whenever i see the obvious pitch in effect.. as i only wish i had somebody pointing out that to me.. so with no agenda in effect, my only reason for this reply is.. is to send out a simple message to NEVER BUY picks EVER, no matter what, end of story.. With that said i love sports betting, and will add one capping tip (especially in the NBA regular season) if the line looks like a gift/ can't lose kind of line... then simply, take the opposite!! It Doesn't always work, but it definitely does many more times than it doesn't!! |

I would regard it as a progress and you sir, as the schmuck you most likely are.. most definitely realize the key to the "con" is to first gain trust and appear considerate to others, or friendly or basically just an all around decent person.. throwing just picks out there will no doubt gain a following if you are lucky enough (although highly unlikely) to hit 60% after a week or so.. so with this method, all you need to do is come in talk big B chit for a few hours and soon the thread balloons from 300 views to 3000... and then once this has happened the "HOOK" is in.. and now all you shmucks need to do is (which is the toughest part of your scam) is hope n pray to hit a lucky streak.... and as per your goal, if that happens guaranteed within 10 days, you will be not posting on covers and "touting" your email/ phone number!! maybe i'm wrong, and if i am, then accept my appolgy and the proof is in the pudding..... but as i'm a betting man i'd bet 2 to 1 right now that you are scumbag tout peice of chit.. Only time will tell |

i mean whats the worst that can happen, this poster cocky, arrogant or not, posts his first days plays, and he or "they" pray their picks do well, 4-0, 3-1 or whatever if they don't they maybe try a second day with the same thread or let it die and create another user name and repeat untill that luckily little streak.. anyways just a heads up to fellow lurkers.. way too obvious for these "investor/ option" with guaranteed monthly profits to be popping up....
In five years i don't think i've seen 3 different threads with this theory, method.. but I've now seen 4 different FIRST time posters attempt this "I have the answer, system, guaranteed make money EVERY month no matter what because i'm a successful options trader... blah blah blah.. like seriously, step back, take a minute and ask yourselves, if this was true would he/they be wasting hours day after day on an anonymous gambling website talking about their 50$/ $100/ $200 wagers that are going to answer all of our prayers... like um really? give your head a shake people, don't bite, never blindly tail people THAT HAVE JUST JOINED, cause more than likely they are nothing more than a great salesperson trying to hook you!! |

OMFG...
1 thread, with an "investment" "stocks and options" guy hits an all time high with views and posts, and its not even a few weeks and all of a sudden all these new threads are popping up promising great results.. and each and every one of them are "touting" the "i'm a successful trader investor gimmick because obviously it worked once and it may work again.. It definitely has a way higher potential then the other option these "touts" are using in these forms to suck in new clients/ "suckers".. |

My record: 1-0 Excellent job Zireal! You obviously did your research with todays many games and in a sea of many possible options, you found yourself 2 absolute gems!! Impressive, and keep up the good work! |

And those were no accidental string of events that led to it, but the result of thorough study of the markets, trends and the right usage of all the vast info displayed daily here. I want to share that knowledge with you for free and no hidden agendas whatsoever. And yes, please remember that the Money Management is the key to create the Steady Monthly Income month in and month out. So, let me gather up all my notes and begin. Mavin, I congratulate you on an excellent thread and your effort over the past couple of weeks has been very much appreciated by me and many others. I also commend you on your positive attitude and the way way you deal with the negative posts! With that said, and being a follower reading every post from day 1, I believe this thread has sidetracked from the original intention, which i believe was to try and help, educate others on the most common do's and dont's by the average sports better and in turn hopefully help many new players avoid common mistakes, which are not usually recongnized untill many mistakes and many dollars later.. I consider myself a seasoned vet, playing daily for 10+ years now, but still only consider this a part time job, and know everyday is another learning experience, which i make notes of both good and bad, and even after that long i still know i have lots to learn.. As this thread has ballooned to over 2500 reply's, the thing i've noticed that is somewhat dissapointing which i know you have no control over, is the fact that certain posters (who you are supposedly trying to help) are seemingly not learning a single thing and are using this 200K viewed thread to post their 20+ plays in one betting day, then coming back after the results are in and saying they played a 3 or 4 game parlay outside of the 20+ singles they already played and "surprising" it hit to get them 10 to 1 or whatever to turn a plus day.. i've seen this multiple times now, which i personally can overlook, but knowing the original intention of this thread, it annoys me knowing that a lot of your hard work and good intentions are being overshadowed by posters making "joe public" mistakes on probably 30% of these post's and not paying attention to a thing you are trying to teach.. Again, I commend you for what over all is a great thread, I just wish there was more situational, reverse line movement, stay away from game, great spot for a bet,... talk then all of this team A is the best and team B is the worst therefore team A should blow out team B... that's just nonsense, but OTHER then FROM YOU a lot of the posts on here with picks are just that.. Sorry to vent a little, but I like you, just want to learn and help others learn, so hopefully at the end of the day we can all be just a little more educated and most importantly a consistently bigger bank roll!! Keep doing what you're doing tho, I truely enjoy all of YOUR post's! |

And then when things are looking very bad.. he comes in @ 11pm eastern, and says that thank god he only put 1/2 unit on all them plays, but luckily i have this big parlay that's gonna hit, (of course all the games are 99% final when he says this) 1 unit is 9.5 units and boom just like that i'm still up X units after going 8-17.. i've seen him do this 3 times to magically turn a profit on 3 seperate days now..
What annoys me the most, as I read through which otherwise is a very good thread, is the fact that nobody else realizes this, and they all just keep congratulating him (melo) and asking for more picks.. the dude is the biggest "square" on the form makes all the classic first timer mistakes.. but yet what started off as a GREAT thread and still is, is just clogged with not only the usual non informative posts with just 1 lil emotion thingy, but also 30% of a 2500 post thread by melo, cuz a few shmucks stroked his ego on the first few pages... The funniest thing of all of this is melo himself admitted he is very new at sports betting and just wanted to thank Mavin for hopefully helping learn a few things, while since saying that he's done no such learning, hijacked a great thread with square amateur 20 plus plays every other day.. posting mysterious huge parlay winners after games are over.. ughhh lol sorry to OP to vent in this thread, but did not want to clog what is already an approaching 3000 post thread |

?? WTF
This is one of the most confusing posts i've ever read!! BTW.. $100.00 @ 300-1 is $30,000 not $3,000.. ( although there is no way you are getting them kind of odds on Rory or any other of them players you have mentioned ) I think you better check that prop and them odds again! lol |

neverlayoff's NHL Saturday--2 HUGE PLAYS and PROLINE OF THE YEAR! It WILL win.
in NHL Betting Quote Originally Posted by neverlayoff: I definitely agree with you and I don't play Proline all the time. In fact I've posted about 4 tickets this year and one being a winner. I only play 3 gamers because its so hard to hit 4/5/6 gamers and I only play Proline when they offer better or on par value on a 3gamer. I'm still trying to figure out how if you deposit 100$ online and submit that 3gamer it pays 651.10. I think your account is just credited 551.10. You deposit 100, you submit the parlay, they take 100 from your balance so your balance is 0.00 and your parlay pays 551.10. No? NO. I play with a local ( the same as online ) without all the hassles, assuming you have a trusting relationship ( very important factor using a local) luckily i do and have been with him over 5 years never had a problem once. So if i was to play that 3 teamer today @ exactly them odds then yes my total profit for the play would be +$551.10 (assuming it hit.. On the other hand if it lost.. then i would be -$100.00 on the day.. Not sure if this helps or not, but i will definitely recommend getting away from proline and finding an online book or local. Doing this will only help in the longrun! i'd be willing to bet almost anybody living in Canada betting sports almost everyday would agree with me on this! |

For Proline you pay 100$ cash and if you win you get 629$ in cash for a profit of 529$. your new acct. balance would be now @ 651.10 your original deposit of $100.00 plus your winnings from your 3 team parlay of $551.10. which is still greater than prolines potential profit of 529.00 In my opinion there are only two benefits to play proline 1) you can't get a local or online book ( if your wagering in the $100 range with 3 tmrs then thats somewhat a serious player and and if your half serious about sports wagering at all then both or at least one of these options should not be a problem 2) you need a very quick (next day payout) again for the everyday, serious player this option shouldn't be an important factor as you should never have more than 5% of your current bankroll on any given play.. ( 3 team parlays should be no more than 1 or 2% i might add lol ) Proline is for the very casual recreational $5/ $10 ticket players looking for a very lucky day and hitting a 100-1 + type payout.. In my opinion this is all proline should be used for, but thats just me.. which ever you decide is best for you, all the best, and when the season is over hopefully we both grind out a profit of some sort!! |

I think you are missing one very important factor with playing proline VS online.. as in this example above: $100 bet @ 5.551 odds (online) = $551.10 TOTAL PROFIT $100 bet @ 6.29 odds (proline) = $629.00 MINUS WAGER OF $100.00 which = $529.00 TOTAL PROFIT therefore this BEST CASE situation that you speak of is in actuality still a LOSS of $22.00 This is the way i interpret this ticket, am i missing something, or is this correct? if i'm missing something i apoligize in advance, but i think these are the actual payout/profits in these two above examples |

Altho very comedic and quite entertaining, i just had to finally create an acct. just to specifically respond to this tool and call him out for the fraud/ wanna be tout/ brokeass/ definitely NOT making any real money plays/ fool that he really is! Not really sure what you are implying, but if its what i think it is.. you couldn't be farther from the truth ( actually not sure why i'm even bothering responding to you ) guess its the fact of being a long time lurker, first time poster and feel the need to defend myself now that i've created the acct. i'll more than likely be around for many years to come!! whether that explains anything or not, honestly makes not much of a difference either way.. Cheers and here's to all of us grinding out a profit by the end of this season!! |
