Now look at 1/8

Georgia tech Duke

notice that Gtech covers @

home after 3 straight road games. 

The difference?   They were home dogs. Not home favorites!!

SB, so this Golden rule would apply to NCAAB only right? So it would be go agaisnt home favorite teams after 3 road games, correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks for Sports 101 lessons sir....

 

Golden Rule is.   Go against the home fave coming home after 3 straight road games

bet the home dog coming off 3 straight road games!

you're still going to bet with a guy who you know is going to lower your limits if you win? I can't wrap my head around that...

hahahaha.  I love Smitten. He knows that. But EW is spot on here.   Why are you even wasting your time Smitten?????

They are bad.  Historically bad for UNC.  Bad teams cover and win games all the time.  The same team that blew out Notre Dame by 30, should have lost in regulation at UNC.  Every day is a new day.  The "you can't back this team cause they are bad" isn't a valid argument.

Technically, when we lose, the bookie tips us back right?

I never understood bettors tipping the ticket writers at sports books.  Unless the guy or woman actually gave you a tip and told you that a notorious wise guy is on x team, why would you tip the writer ???  They ain’t giving you the tip back when you lose your next play mates!!

Scores 30+ and covers the line (covering the line is the key here along with scoring 30+) jets @ Miami.  Scores 30+ and covers the line.    Steelers @ Jets.    Bet against jets    another example.  Steelers @ jets. Jets score 30+ covers miami @ jets.   Jets score 30+ covers jets @ bills.    Jets score 30+ covers Jets @ cinci.     Jets score 30+ covers  lions@ jets.   Bet the house on lions.

 

This would not have worked against the 2007 New England Patriots.

Straights, do you have any rules or insights about betting college hoops during the conference tourneys and the NCAA tournament, all neutral site games, so no home-road angles?

Local books are all low life’s from what I see. Don’t want to pay when you when then cut you off after a good run. Let’s taken to the cleaners

Yeah...been with him for 10 years...we are as much friends as a bookie and client can be...so he probably won't drop me but he does like to limit his exposure to hot players...

It's just what bookies do...

But, in this case, he let me talk him into keeping things the same for now...

Last year right in the middle of football season, he cut off my 10 point teasers completely after lowering the limits on them as I was hitting them at an 80% win rate...

But that's ok...If I can hit him for 25k this week...I won't mind him lowering the limits ...

PM for the skinny on the down low

He was very upset about that Oregon game last night...I hit him on ...

1H.. 1000

FG...2000

2H...1000

FG ML 2000

1H ML...1000

2H ML...1000...

Just an FYI if you don't know this....bookies hate nothing more than when you identifiy ONE big game and hit them multiple ways on it...NOTHING they hate more than that...

But another reason he was upset is he has another client who took him for $17k this last week...

So he was dealing with the double whammy...

On the other hand...the bookie that was chill said I was the only guy who won with him this week...he had no problem paying as he was up big on the week...

Just crush the first half of as many games they give you the opportunity to.   And like I’ve said before 

the traders on these sites are fully aware of every game we play and we are fully aware of everything they do.  It’s a chess match between us! 

 I have heard through the grapevine that Dayton and Kentucky are going to be nightmares for their opponents in the tourney!   

Me personally. I can’t see anyone beating Kansas.  My so called Cinderella team Marquette

You bet on the moneyline of the Oregon game last night when they were favored -7 at the half and 12.5 for the game?

Yeah...it's called "free money" in that situation...and my book gives me a $25k line of credit so why not pickup an additional $500 bucks here and there ...

If I didn't have those kinds of resources at my disposal, I certainly wouldn't have done that but...

I did...

no no. You took what I said wrong I think.   I want you all to see the pudding.   I thought at minimum some of you already knew this rule.    I’m just saying I am shocked that in this forum no one knows this rule bro!  Shocked!!

anyway  above in other comments we gave 5 examples

so far
