Sims_key,
 
Your point is valid and I know you aren't trying to be a jerk.  Ignore the pricks who react without fully reading your posts.

not trying to be a jerk but just leveling the playing field for those of us that use other books.


I find it interesting how you usually stop by in my thread to call me out on something extremely minor and technical. Will you be a happier person if, at season's end, I am up +190 units instead of +200?

I was actually making my lines one cent worse for a while to start on Covers but have been just posting the published line since.

But if it makes you jolly, I can worsen my lines by one cent every day to suit your needs.

Is there a system they use that you could share with us.

 jassie that is not true, however, more than 3 or 4 over the course of the season could result in very low profit. I have made a very small profit using the system.

What playing field? Are you in competition with someone?

Hey Lan just ignore those dumb asses that just happen to pop into your thread making stupid requests when your cleaning house.  Where the hell were these fools at the beginning of the season when you were struggling.  What kind of dumb question that.  Now that you included your over/under units into your record, people have to find something else to bitch about.  Next thing you hear is someone asking why you use bold font's when posting your record or some other bull shit.

Good Luck

i don't usually call you out on something.
i asked one time how you got such amazing lines.
and that got me thinking about the differences in the books.
don't get so defensive.  it is a good point.  you are 8% lower in your total units than you state.  that is significant and could be the difference in a good year and a bad year.

Good Luck

isn't this about making money.  why is my point not valid then? 

tell me why it isn't valid instead of just calling me a dumbass.  use some logic bro instead of 3rd grade namecalling.

why does lana get "bonus points" from you by including all his bets instead of just the ones he does well on.

Sorry, for about every 1 loss you need to win about 15 to 20 series in order to recoup the losses. I think the system is a waste of time and involves to much risk, as with any chase system.

How am I 8 percent lower in my total units? First off, if I lose a game, I don't pay the juice. So I would be shortchanging myself by showing the original line 1 cent lower before knowing if I win that game.

Also, the difference you are wanting me to calculate is 1%.

That's it -- 1%.

Is this insignificant? No, but it's nowhere near the 8% you speak of. Where in the hell did you even get that number?

The difference in a good or bad year?

If I have a bad year because the Matchbook 1 cent commission destroyed me, I should be dragged onto the street, shot, and buried upside down in a dress.

i will do the math for ya...
you have 250 wins this year at 2 units per win.
that is 500 units you have won.
1% of 500 is 5 units.  5 units is how much matchbook has taken from you.
5 units is 8% of 65 units (the amount you are up).
