Excellent read, Superfigg.  A crucial point I gathered from this article is the importance of analyzing line movements on games.  Amateur bettors have no idea how much thought was already put in by the bookmakers before an opening line even surfaces.

I saw Ted Sevransky on TV using one of these. On the show, he was introduced as Teddy "Covers".......I think he played two football games back to back, and came away with almost $500 in winnings for 6 hours.

You can bet EVERYTHING on a football game. Run/Pass, to who, pick, penalty, etc. It's like every prop bet you can get at a Superbowl ON EVERY PLAY.

They showed another guy betting a basketball game. I think it was a Duke game, and they were giving 13.5 at the start. They led by 10 at half, and the odds would change practically every other basket. It was crazy. You could get a different ML after each make.

They asked if they could go behind "the door" where the computer stores all the algorhythms. And, of course, they were denied.

But it does seem a great way to separate you from your money.

Very interesting read...thanks figgs! &#xD;&#xA;I will make sure not to go to the M casino...I mean it&#x27;s like the odds are way against you of winning, the house cleans up, you got to be a moron to go there and keep betting.

SirJohnDrake · Answer

The odds are so stacked against you to win in the long run by all those bets you can make.&#xD;&#xA;It is enough that I can&#x27;t win playing a chess game against the computer...lol

Excellent article. I would also say though that if you had discipline and could sit there watch games and wait for your spots you could do some damage. I feel the same way about in game lines. Momentum does not get figured into most equations as the article also states and this is a big part of selecting as the game is moving.

SirJohnDrake · Answer

&#xD;&#xA;Yeah sure...you can do some damage...lol Didn&#x27;t you read the article and comprehend what you were reading?...lol

Betting on individual situations within a sporting event is completely idiotic. The juice eventually eats you alive. Stay far far away from this.
