    i dont even know who the "kool aide guy" is and i couldnt give a shiit whether its an "official" emblem or not...go back to my post and get sumone who can read to read it for you....all i said was it REFERENCED the republican party.....i couldnt give 2 shiits wat their emblem is,they dont represent me or my country.


    anyone reading this interaction between the 2 of us will be absolutely staggered by your stupidity i can absolutely assure you of that(as you ONCE AGAIN just repeated wat i said to you in a previous post..."i know you are ya said you are but.........").......you keep telling me how i "look like a fool" and repeat exactly the same insults back to me that ive just directed your way 5 minutes prior...why exactly??do you have any explanation for how i look stupid??...well,apart from indulging the wishes of a 5 year old mental midget in going round and round in a never ending circle of pointless idiocy...cos i can see that that is stupid on my part.
       but to be honest i just didnt wanna believe that humans as dumb as you walk the earth so i kept banging away and banging away...but alas,to no avail.



    now that i know you are george dubya i understand and fully apologise for treating you as a human being with a fully developed human brain.....i guess your schedule has opened up a fair bit over last several years and you have to fill in that time you used to spend bombing countries and murdering innocent people..so now you choose to spend it stalking a random stranger on the interweb cos ya dont like wat he "supposedly" said or thinks of a race.

    Let's just say my spider senses are tingling.  I'm also a bit naive and I get that too.

    You shouldn't include the moneyline bets in his percentage, that just blurs the numbers since the odds aren't -110 (You could but then you would have to calculate a new break even percentage based on the odds he's been playing to see how he's doing, it won't be 52% anymore). Two of them were pretty close to evens but the knicks bet was at +1000, a bet that the odds implies only hits around 1/10 times (but in reality is closer to 1/20 due to extreme long shots being the most -EV bets you can find if just picking at random).

    W L P W% ProfitParlays 0 1 0 - -$200Moneyline bets 0 3 0 - -$2,100Single spread 45 39 2 53.57% -$8,350Grand total 45 43 2 - -$10,650Details at https://goo.gl/lfl5IT
    Take out the parlay bet and he is 45-42 picking a game.That s 51.72%


    You shouldn't include the moneyline bets in his percentage, that just blurs the numbers since the odds aren't -110 (You could but then you would have to calculate a new break even percentage based on the odds he's been playing to see how he's doing, it won't be 52% anymore). Two of them were pretty close to evens but the knicks bet was at +1000, a bet that the odds implies only hits around 1/10 times (but in reality is closer to 1/20 due to extreme long shots being the most -EV bets you can find if just picking at random).

    So he has picked basketball games at almost breakeven, isnt that about what was expected.. he would be just slightly behind if he were flat betting 500 per game, which was probably to be expected from what we have learned from this thread but he is his own worst enemy at times, which again is what was expected.. so basically there have been no surprises in this thread..

    its going to be very hard for him to make it now, not that he would listen anyway but there may still be a chance to regroup and go back to the 500 flat bets.. if nothing else, it will extend his stay somewhat longer..

    CG talks about not having won some close games on the spread. I can think of 4 off the top of my head: UCLA+3, PENN ST-1.5, FLORIDA +8?, MICHIGAN STATE +9. If Bermax could compile close spread wins or losses I think it would be close.

    If you don't like this idea, go with Scals idea.  Just do a big bet.  One bet you have a 50-50 shot.  Lose 5 straight in the next month, I say odds are more in your favor.  Good luck.  

    Remember Martingale is not good to do forever, because big losing streaks are inevitable.  But go one month without a 5 game losing streak, and its 10 k.   Everyday you make money.  The bleeding stops.

    Real pros know how to make a line and break down a game, not surf the forums looking for other cappers to follow.

    But with that said, i hope he takes your advice and makes a 10k bet, that way Vanzack can win his bet faster

     

    No, he's not leaving at this point when there's money yet to be bet.

    So I think he should bet it all in one shot and hope to win and regroup or lose it all and leave.

    Even if you don't spend 10 hours capping a game, you have a 50/50 shot blindly picking one. That's far better than having his bankroll bled away.

    At this point his luck is so bad, I might actually suggest he NOT cap the game and just pick a random team and roll with it. And when he did cap a bomb bet (Kings), that didn't work out too well. But of course the Kings can pay you. Just look at last night. You just have to be patient and know when to strike.

    Then what? Homelessness? Going back to NJ to live with his parents? You can't possibly tell a guy to drop his life savings on a game without knowing his backup plan if it loses. It's absurd. 

     

    He goes back to Jersey of course and lives at home and starts rebuilding the bankroll again, and never EVER bets on the NBA or college basketball again (but at this point, I don't think he's the same gambler to handle the NFL either despite the fact he's done well in it).

    What did his old job pay ...$28K a year?

    He can find a job for $28K a year again.

    If he left $108K job? I'd say this whole ordeal was a bit of a mistake.

    He can just look at the whole thing as buying a $30,000 car...except he doesn't have the car...like he gifted it to a relative or something.

    Just leave enough money for gas, tolls, some stops at Arby's if he loses.

    But the bomb play is the way in my opinion.

    You took your shot and it failed. Now you have one shot to get 2/3 of the way back to the where you were to get several more months our there and stretch it to football season (which is allegedly some kind of bankroll savior and then all that green will roll into his apartment like the books are bringing it to him in wheelbarrows ...I got news for ya CG, football is just as brutal as basketball when it comes to betting).

    No, I believe he said several times it's paid until June.

    Count the Knicks "ya never know bet" as the worst he's made on the entire trip and NO odds could have appropriately compensated him (the only reason it came close was because Hayward was a late scratch but he didn't even know that).

    It does not matter what he will do. End is near. He has no chance if he tilts, specially when he bets with -110 juice.
