    Wrong again.  The NFL NEEDS VEGAS not the other way around.  If it weren't for betting many of the NFL games would get no interest. Who cares who wins between the 49'ers and Browns.  Only bettors.

    A circled game is when the book only takes a limited amount of action. They might have uncertainty about the game being on the up and up.

    Well ok the NFL needs vegas more but let's say vegas wants the NFL action. 
    The NFL would be like woman's lacrosse if it weren't for betting.

    Circled game = higher limits.

    Some books have lines for $1,000-plus bettors now. LVH for example.

    Sore losers will always be sore losers in life. They let a bad beat wound them for life and grow old becoming senile and dotards. this OP dude is...... up there.

I basically told steelers spread backers to beware 5 minutes into the game and then at a small risk live bet against them. Almost worked. So that's a hissy fit? Your posts represent more a hissy got from mine. 

    As for your question Mr. Top Tier HARRAHS worker, a book circles a game when they are unsure about a variable or variables that concern that specific game. Basically they limit the betting wagers due to the questions that arise from the game. Bovada does this all week up until game time on Sunday. Would you like a works cited page? Let me be very up front with you: just because you were a mid level employee t HARRAHS that weights nothing here with me. If you feel you know how it ALL works because you write tickets, I feel sorry for you that you are that naive. I'm not here to sway your stance and I don't care really care to be honest. You on the other hand are blowing gaskets lefts and right which is comical.

    Circles games can also mean they up the betting limits. For instance, t bovada you will see a green triangle in the corner that represents a higher limit game. Orange would mean reduced.

    I'm not blowing a gasket at all.  I love this crazy $hit.  It is fu*kin hilarious.

    Yes, a circled game is a flagged game for various reasons.  That is one of reasons and very important.  Since Vegas is NOT in on the fix they don't want to get burned.  Also injuries may have arisen during the week and they aren't willing to make a huge number move.

    I could give a flying fu*k what you think of me.  I was in the business and know you are full of $hit.  Individuals have an opportunity to fix games.  VEGAS DOES NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Way to much risk. (billions and billions). If they did the reward would be millions until they got caught. It's asinine to think any other way.

    Let me make this perfectly clear......................

    It is possible for individuals to fix games and Vegas is always on the lookout for these people.  It ruins their bottom line.

    VEGAS DOES NOT FIX GAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Big Ben having a bad game last night does not equate to fix.  Or the rest of the team for that matter.  You sound foolish each and every week you make these claims.  Take your losses like a man and start capping smarter.

Your posts represent more a hissy got from mine. 

    As for your question Mr. Top Tier HARRAHS worker, a book circles a game when they are unsure about a variable or variables that concern that specific game. Basically they limit the betting wagers due to the questions that arise from the game. Bovada does this all week up until game time on Sunday. Would you like a works cited page? Let me be very up front with you: just because you were a mid level employee t HARRAHS that weights nothing here with me. If you feel you know how it ALL works because you write tickets, I feel sorry for you that you are that naive. I'm not here to sway your stance and I don't care really care to be honest. You on the other hand are blowing gaskets lefts and right which is comical.

    I'm not blowing a gasket at all.  I love this crazy $hit.  It is fu*kin hilarious.

    Youre an idiot if you think some games are fixed/dirty...its been proven.  

    Youre also an idiot if you think Vegas has anything to do with it or the outcomes of games...

    Possible 1st round draft pick in the NBA.  Fixed some college games and went undrafted in the 1994 NBA draft.  No team would touch him.

    Yes, a circled game is a flagged game for various reasons.  That is one of reasons and very important.  Since Vegas is NOT in on the fix they don't want to get burned.  Also injuries may have arisen during the week and they aren't willing to make a huge number move.

    I could give a flying fu*k what you think of me.  I was in the business and know you are full of $hit.  Individuals have an opportunity to fix games.  VEGAS DOES NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Way to much risk. (billions and billions). If they did the reward would be millions until they got caught. It's asinine to think any other way.

    Let me make this perfectly clear......................

    It is possible for individuals to fix games and Vegas is always on the lookout for these people.  It ruins their bottom line.

    VEGAS DOES NOT FIX GAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Big Ben having a bad game last night does not equate to fix.  Or the rest of the team for that matter.  You sound foolish each and every week you make these claims.  Take your losses like a man and start capping smarter.


    "Way too much risk, billions, and billions"????? Thought minimal money was made in the book business? Can't have it both ways.

    If a Casino was fixing games they would risk billions of dollars over time.  On the other hand they would make millions till they got caught.  

    Do the math.  What is more billions or millions?

    Did I ever come out and say "Vegas fixes games"? Nope. I said and have said for years, it's players, coaches, refs and the higher up individuals who nobody knows anything about. As for capping games better, you must not be very literate. I created the thread to tell steelers backers to beware if they had the -14. I then live bet at small risk knowing it was probably a 55/45 chance the Steelers still won. You tell me to cap better though....ha! You have no idea what you are talking about yet you claim you got it all figured out I'm the fool though l? You still believe in the tooth fairy? What about sant claus? Wait....you your vote counted this last ejection huh? Have stocks in the stock market? You sound like a broker telling everyone their money is safe and that the laws and regulations created by the government will protect the consumer.....stock market is corrupt, government is corrupt and just because some ticket writer tells me gaming is legit.....wake up. im not saying Vegas fixes games but they sure in the hell aren't completely innocent. I'm done with this dead end conversation. A mid tier worker so sure about Vegas and their antics telling everybody where their place is. Again, good joke.

    I love how you add bs to your side of the story to make it seem as if my stance is of lesser value. You are a clown. You honestly are dumb enough to think that because of your job at harrahs, you know the system? That's like a school teacher knowing how standardized tests are graded on teacher admin days because they were told they were run by a machine with the right answers. Get out of here man! What seems to be is NEVER what it actually is yet you just have the answers. So sad. You wrote tickets bro. You never played the games nor do you have the evidence stating that all players and refs are pure and clean. Move on man and make sure you put that tooth under the pillow tonite. For every tooth though it's 10 cents on the dollar so the house makes their share. Duhhhhhhhh. "Folks you can't make this stuff up". Clownshoe.
