Pinnacle limit about 10k without PA and as the sharpest book on the planet they dump you quick if you hit them too hard so you are wrong sir it is only one possible outlet and if and when you make a large pinnacle play you might as well post it on covers

Zipping large sums of cash around the planet for any reason these days is a huge pain in the ass
The more you can spread it out the better off you are.

Bluefin - you seem like a nice guy - but you couldn't possibly be more wrong.

Van I would think that the ready acceptance of Bitcoin and its growth as an alternative funding source would somewhat prove my point. You may be a smart man but only a fool puts all his eggs in one basket.

Pinnacle is the best book on the planet I will agree but I know a few who have been banned and a few more whose accounts have been frozen while under investigation for using multiple IP's from bounced servers so that method it not foolproof.

I have met a few guys here in Vegas, who are here for that exact reason fin. They were banned from Pinny.

He obviously didn't or he would have posted it. 

One thing I will give CG credit for is that he does not lie about his bets/wager amounts. That has been pretty consistent throughout.

You are a bright guy goose, but I don't think you have any type of read on Wisconsin. I think I saw a post by you saying Arizona was the definite right play (before the game.)

This game isn't a coinflip. Wisconsin has a clear cut advantage. I'm confused as to why as many people don't truly see how GREAT this team is. How many teams have the BEST player in the country, and like the 6th best player in the country. Add to that one of the best defenders in the country, a PG who doesn't turn it over and nails clutch 3s (even tho he isn't great on D) and Hayes who is automatic from mid-range, can drive and hit the 3.

GL to all

Just had a conversation with Nick yesterday and we both agreed this was a game to stay away from for several reasons.  Betting against Coach K in a Championship game is never a sharp move.

The problem with CG is that he constantly changes his mind like some fickle and dizzy blond bimbo.  One minute he sees the value in Plus Money Baseball Dogs.  The next minute he wants to be the Poster Child for an Action Junkie because it's the Big Game.

Not sure about Arizona, I don't remember making that comment, but it's possible because most times I post here on Covers I am HAMMERED.

That's the Action Junkie CG is slowly becoming if he doesn't soon realize he can go a day or two without forcing a bet.

I believe it was a pro Arizona comment more than a knock on Wisconsin.

Its a good point about Coach K, but I believe Ryan is almost as good of a coach. You are right though there is nothing wrong with laying off a game you see no advantage in, even if it hits. Duke could certainly win this game but it will take 15 threes to do it I think.

4/6/15. The WTG- world title game. Wisconsin Badgers -1 (-105) $1050/$1000. Basically was -1 at all books in town today at least until 3 pm (haven't checked anymore) so I went to the casino where they are offering -105 juice specials on the last few rounds of the big dance.... Love this team, came through for me vs zona and in my huge play vs Kentucky. Dekker is playing out of his mind and Kaminsky and the rest of the older players on this ballclub play so hard and don't foul. Duke is an amazing team so not overly confident but feel the experience of the Badgers will get them the victory tonight.. I really enjoy college hoops and hate to see it end tonight. Good luck fellas go BADGERS!

no real need to mention this as it has less than zero bearing on why they mite win this game..plus all regular readers of the thread realise you bet them on previous ocassions.
that sort of reasoning is handy if you have a time machine and get to go back and bet those games AGAIN...but for a game that hasnt happened yet??....not so much

5-0 with the Asian milf on the same side as me

sparty vs Oklahoma, wiscy vs zona, sparty vs ville, duke vs Gonzaga, LOUIE vs cubs, and we going for 6-0 tonight with WISCY

she just rides my picks lol.. she wanted duke but I told her she cant go against me as we are 5-0 with her tailing me.  So shes coming over in like 10 min and put her $20 on the badgers.

she bets $20 a game

LETS GO BADGERS.. BO RYAN deserves a WT- world title

melossingnet- I agree, im just saying I think WISCY is ready to win the world title this evening

two great teams, I could understand why people would bet duke also

I think wiscy and how they play so smart, hit three's and don't FOUL and senior leadership will be the difference against a GREAT but YOUNG duke squad

CG - You know I love ya, but fading Ratface getting a free throw in the "WTG" is not a move I'd be willing to make just out of "loyalty" to Wisconsin.  I completely understand it though, but I am an action junkie.  

Hope you're on the right side
