I have the Mets at +178 from last night and now the line is down to +155 so I guess the action is heading that way.

Goose, I like you but two days ago you posted this...

I respect you rangerz as one of the very few on Covers who has even a sniff of the knowledge it takes to stay alive in this nasty sportsbetting business.  

CG will make it.  He will be in the top 95%.  I know.

How do I know?  

I talk to him on a regular basis and he is grounded to staying alert.

He gets it.  This is not some game.

He gets it that this is the life he has chosen.

The toughest month of the year for any gambler, March, is OVER.

Now he glides through Summer with Baseball Underdogs galore.

How do I know?

Because we talk on a regular basis.

He will more than survive the summer.

And absolutely kick-azz in football.

Haters beware... you will look like schmucks.

This kid is going places you can only dream.

And now you are calling him out (rightfully so I might add) about being an action junkie. 

Did you and CG get into a fight over the last couple days? Very concerning for the organization if so.

I just realized what aaron Harrison said about frank kaminsky LMFAO

I cant stop laughing.. how does that even make sense?


This right here is the EPITOME of an action junkie. "Such an evenly matched game" and you barely have a lean. 

Yet, it qualifies for a k play just because it's the national championship game. 

Action junkie never fit better than it does here.

  Been over 10.5k posts.  Do you think he's an action junkie, Golden Goose?  How many more posts before you come to a conclusion?    It's a tough call.

When I use to live in LV, on SuperBowl Sunday do you know what the sharps were betting? College basketball. What does your gut tell you on the Portland/Brooklyn total?

I can't wait for the reasoning.  Will be something like "I'm taking the White Sox +110, the Royals got lucky last year".

OK whoa... "action junkie" we are all action junkies!
How many pro's do you know who are not.Making smart plays like playing women basketball in early season and betting "advantages" does mean your not compulsive it proves that you are!

You want  to prove you have control try to stay off a game that you see a big edge on, one that you know you have nailed it's takes less guts to stay off a toss up game than it does a money maker.

Maybe there are better spots but almost every pro can get down big action during these maxi-events and for that reason alone most are riding these type games it's the perfect spot to pick a side and blend into the crowd so to speak.

This isn't even in the ballpark of a true statement. A "pro" can get down big action on a tuesday night baseball game. 

A national championship game is no different.

Do they pay you more if you win a national championship game over a regular season game?

I'm not saying not to bet it if you like a side. But the notion "oh hey it's the championship game, I don't really like a side but I'm going to find one to play anyway" is anything but pro.

Nowhere. 

I know this is tough for most to hear but...Vegas is the minor leagues, not the big leagues.

I finally got the app where I can bet online with one particular book that seems to have good baseball 10 cent lines. Will be nice to not always have to go to sportsbook to bet now at times

Think of it this way on a regular "tuesday night game you have two shopping carts if you run up to one cart and throw a bunch of oranges in it as it fills people notice this is only a good thing if you are trying to move a line or show your hand for some reason or if you just don't give a damn. 
On a large draw game every house and book wants to be the a big boy so you throw in a lot of oranges before anyone has time to figure out, who,why,what,where or when.Plus the cart is huge on big games.

Covering ones action if the play is large is not as easy as you all make it out to be, not to say that most pro's don't have it figured out they do but on games like tonight most find what they think is the edge and pound it pretty good I think you will find.And the books always seem to report sharp action is on such and such but we expect the public to pound so and so blah blah blah pure bullsheet smoke and mirrors to drag out more suckers is all it is.

Hahaha I've actually said that exact line long before CG came through touting the exact opposite. 

But hey, expect nothing less in the daily entertainment that is this thread.

If you are betting online with the right site (bookmaker, pinnacle, etc), it's EXACTLY as easy as we are making it out to be.
