    Here's a sure bet: You don't want that, right? You say it's not a chase, then don't make it look like one.................

    You want him to give you every single thought that pops into his head? He could be willing to make a play once it moves to 10, but not at 8 where it opened. That is a perfectly reasonable reason to make a play. I understand why people think it looks bad last second, but you guys are really finding things to get on him about at this point.

    If I listened to most of u guys I wouldn't have even moved here. Most telling me I'm crazy etc. This is my journey I'll run it exactly how I want to. I agree with adding late games is usually not smart but this had covers and public bloodbath written all over it and u best believe I'm jumping on that oppertunity no matter what time this game started

    You can set up a William Hill app at Hooters Casino just off the strip. It has the most options. Orleans has one and Cantor gaming. That would give you three outlets without having to travel. Wouldn't hurt to have a few.

    Good capping College, its a bit funny how some people think that you are chasing this late play but like it has been said earlier it dose not matter if you have placed 1 bet or 4 bets today day if a game falls into your capping calculations you play it.

    Keep up the good work

    Yes appreciate it bro. Might go that route soon. For right now tho I like just betting and not having all my info on a website. Betting with the apps they will have my social sec # etc. I am keeping all my losing tickets and saving my gas receipts for reporting and wanna report some winnings but obviously not everything especially if I kill it out here.

    Yes appreciate it bro. Might go that route soon. For right now tho I like just betting and not having all my info on a website. Betting with the apps they will have my social sec # etc. I am keeping all my losing tickets and saving my gas receipts for reporting and wanna report some winnings but obviously not everything especially if I kill it out here.

    Is the degree of difficulty such that saying "I've two games, and may have another later" too much? Does that sound like every single thought to you?

    MOOOO9- u hit it on the head. This game had no value to me this am with Phoenix +4, +4.5 but it gained value at +5 and at +5.5 a light went off in my brain saying it's time to make this a PLAY. Some ppl don't understand that I can't give them all my thoughts running through my head like ranger said.

    The point is it may NOT have been a lean until the line moved. You want him to predict line movement too? When he made his original plays, it wasn't a lean. The line moves closer to what he wants, and it becomes a lean. I don't know if that was the thought process, but if it was then it is 100% justified. 

    Do I agree with making a play to due a "covers bloodbath" or meaningless public percentages? No. But having a line move then deciding the extra points is enough to make the play is valid.

    He makes his own plays.  He has told everyone that.  If you're going to give a blow by blow of your plays and your life, why not just start your own thread?

    Nice going 1-1 on your first 2 games.

    Good luck on the Suns in the 2nd half!

    I didn't play it but I do have Hawaii going now…hopefully we both cash!

    Regardless, let's try and get that money and move on to tomorrow when these games are over.

    So fellas check this out. They keep showing this commercial here that states "the nfl is coming to Vegas with your help" and gives you a phone number to call... What are the chances u think we get an NHL team here? Sounds bogus to me. Although not many ppl seem to bet hockey here at all I noticed when at sportsbooks

    Rangerz, you already told us you are not a traditional capper, exploiting in-game situations and middles.

    That is light years away from what I do, what CG does, what Hawk does etc. etc. etc.

    Traditional cappers look at the slate, pick a few games, narrow it down to one or two or at most three (if they are not high volume cappers), and cap those games accordingly, possibly trimming it to one or two after that. Total picks vary but that's the basic procedure.

    The other games are not fully capped if at all, largely having just caught your eye, and all of a sudden, when your love blossoms for them like some chick at a school dance after the head cheerleader rejected you, it's suspect.

    That line didn't swing all that much and all Hawk is saying, and what I am saying is, this is Exhibit A with regard to what a chase play is.

    Let me put it this way: If this ISN'T a chase play, nothing is.

    I hear ya Scal. 

    I have absolutely no idea what the line opened at in this game and how many points it moved. This example aside I was just commenting on the general idea of line movement being a legitimate factor of a play/no play. 

    I have never seen a thread where the topic of "discipline" has been such a hotly contested issue.

    Scal I saw Phoenix +4 and +4.5 this am. Then I happened to go through the nba threads which is rare for me to do and I saw every single poster basically on okc and then 70% of public on them. Then I checked and saw my closest sportsbook here had the Suns at +5.5 and it was time to make it a play
