If the Colts win, I win 12 (200 lost, 212 win) and if the Saints win I win 11 (234 won, 223 lost).
That is a very simple illustration, but should get across the point.
Yep now I am with you, I got confused with the original numbers where you said you sold your 2nd unit on the Saints by buying 1 unit on Colts -4 @ (-106) which didn't add up in my head but the above example is what I thought you were saying just wanted to confirm.
Thanks again...

So in this situation you have 4 bets made at a total 423 to win on avg. of $11.50. With that said you are looking at a rate of return @ around 2.75%
To be a little North of 2Grand you had to make bets totaling around 75 Grand. I get it now too. Just did not Know bet sold actually meant bought opposit.
That is how new I am to betting. And I was only hostile because I figured if I did not do something to piss you off you would not explain it. I had asked about it before and you never answered it. So I tried a different approach.
Plus I figured you needed someone to blast and it does not bother me at all. Was just playing a pawn for you to get rid of some of that Hostility you have built up inside from having to answer stupid questions from stupid guys like me all day.
Thanks for taking the time to explain... Now go get your Shine Box.... Joking of course... Thanks again.

Don't let that earlier post fool you. Vanzack is being modest. I don't know for certain of course but i have no doubts Van has bet close to that amount already

Well, If like he said he is north of 2 Grand, then he must be doing it in vegas or Atlantic City. No one would have thank kind of money in can off shore account and leave it there.
No one knows waht to believe on this site anyway. After what happened to Pittviper it is hard to know who is telling the truth over here.
75G's off sghore hehe... good luck getting that... Others have been turned down for half of that. But then again... no one knows what is really happening.
Good luck Van.. you havve been here a long long time... I am sure you are making money somehow... good for you..

And BTW - I made a VERY small amount of money on this compared to the average covers poster.
From what I read here, the average bet on the SB is about 10K. Some bet 200K, and others cash out their 401K, but almost everyone bets at least a few thousand. I wont have anything on the game, and made just a little north of a couple of grand on this, so I really cant compete with the average covers poster.
So why all the hostility towards me? I fly under the radar here now that I am a square.

the only problem with vanzack making these small amounts on line movements is it doesnt even come close to making up for what he loses on games he actually bets throughout the season.
as we saw this year in both college and pro football, and has been the case every season in both football and baseball, he posts his picks every week, gets crushed, stops posting picks about 2/3 of the way though every season, then pops back up in the playoffs to let us know how he once again made a killing winning just 29% of his games due to getting great odds and line shopping.

And so it, going into next year we learned enough this year to know who is who, insiders, good cappers, when to jump on a tout trying to sneak in, especially on a streak. Those that work for the Site... keeping to myself...
VAN... Busted !

So your point is that making 2k with no risk is soehow not worth writing about. This - coming from the guy - who posts biorytyms.
Ironic.
My question is why even bother with these guys? You obviously have a good system, why bother posting it on covers? Personally, I made $8K this football season without ever risking a dime of my own money. Similar strategy to you, less risk, but less of a possible payout. That being said, there are those on here who understand what you do, and appreciate. Don't waste your time responsing to these jerkoffs

It is a character flaw.
Its funny - that there are hundreds of threads - like "I bet my 401K" or "if you bet the saints you are a moron" - but happykane chooses to bump a thread that was about the line movement.
It just goes to show you just how naive and ignorant some of these people are.

Line movement was quite easy to predict. Seriously, almost a no brainer.
Thanks for the lesson.
One day, when i have a $500,000 matchbook account...
So why didnt you make the thread?
Funny, I didnt see a happykane thread when the spread was 4 saying the line was going to go to 6 and then back down to 4.
Please.
If it was a "no brainer" - then anybody could have made a ton on it. Stop it pal. You are embarassing yourself. If you have a personal vendetta against me, wait at least until I post a losing pick or something - bumping a thread like this is only a reflection on your lack of gambling knowledge. I feel badly for you.

vanzack - Hope you realize that i wasn't bashing you then.
Just wanted to direct these comments to the folks trying to decipher the line and line movements:
1) All this talk about the spread and none of it mattered.
2) Seriously, seven pages of indefatigable banter for naught.
I didn't read at least 5 pages of your Super Bowl wagering onslaught on the books -- so in honesty, all i gathered was that it was a lesson on how to make $2000 by pilfering a 2-point margin amongst the books.
