hoopsstar - vanzack posted some link about a rant he went on about flat betting. I know what the post is about. Van. claims he was an expert but last I saw he lost about 10 straight bowl games, many where he was clearly on the wrong side of , and then he quit college football for the year saying it was just too hard. By the way, Vanz's method of flat betting is not gonna go over with any local bookies like someone said, of course you can bet whatever you want online. Clearly one could find better use of their time than to figure out down to the dollar what to lay on a baseball game. Guys like Van  that feel a need to convince people on the internet of how great they are are usually the biggest losers of all.

handicapping and money management are two different concepts. Maybe he had a cold streak or what not, but he seems like he knows what he's doing by minimizing his losses. Also he's explaining the concepts in terms of mathematics, so if you can prove the system wrong then show some evidence that it is wrong, instead of perceiving it as a flawed system.

"Would you like to meet me and the supermodels in Curacao on the yacht?

We will be there in about 2 days, if the winds are right.

Im sure one of them would give you a pity blowjob...."

 
Great, thanks Van?!?!
Better yet just tell me when you guys get your yacht to Macau and you can send one of your charter jets to pick me up and fly me to one of your suites in the Ventian that you are surely comped at. Then I'll meet you in the high limits room and we can enjoy  nice bottle of Chateau d'Yquem!
How does that sound you Fruit Loop?!?!

whats with the hate? little brain backrol is doing backflips he's so pissed.  there's two possible truths to van's finances, he's loaded or a bullshitting regular joe, either he's sipping vino on his boat or eating saltines on his torn up lazyboy, but one thing for sure, he's laughing at you for going on tilt about something so retarded.
 
van, you must not be that rich, bill gates never let winds get in the way of his travel plans

Dog + 150 100 to win $150 will win about 40%
 
So the risk - return ratio is the same for both the faves and dogs here, obviously the books make their money on the juice, but you hope to hit at a higher rate than the break even point to offset the juice and make a profit. It appears that you aren't winning enough on the favorites, if you are gonna take a big chalk say -200, you gotta be willing to lay the big money, say $200 to win the 100, if you are gonna lay say $120 you are only winning $60, when you would lay $100 on an even money favorite, doesn't make sense. But hell one shouldn't really be playing -200 faves, and an even bigger sucker play is laying the -1.5 runs, the biggest sucker play of all in baseball.
 

If you're going to post this as defense of your "position," you're probably better off just mowing vanzack's lawn. 

One of the funniest posts I've read on covers in quite some time.

OK - I thought about this and Im a little pissed.
 
We arrived in Curacao this morning, and Wendy (tight brunette - a smoking body but grill could use a little work - last in my rotation) says to me "these covers guys are assholes!"
 
And you know what?  I had to agree.
 
Who the fuck are you guys to question my credentials?  Yes I live most of the time on a yacht, and yes I surround myself with the finer things in life (including supermodels) - why the fuck do you guys find it necessary to knock me down a notch? 
 
For those who dont believe me, I can prove who I am because I am bonafide.  Here are some pics from my scene:
 
PIC 1  (wendy bottom left)
 
PIC 2 (me with some of the broads on a tender)
 
Now who doesnt believe me bitches!!

You have to ask nicely dipshit. 

And van doesn't get comped at the Venetian - he OWNS the Venetian.

I can vouch for what Greg, I mean, Vanzack is saying.   
 
Van, I will be at the end of the month to chill on the yacht and hang with the beautiful babies once again.
 
You're the man, you know it.  I know it.  Don't let these assholes get you down.

Funny you say that Hutch - that's how I got the "in" with van. . .  I'm now captain of the yacht washing team.  Much better than mowing 100 acres! 

Last week he went through low tide in St Thomas. . .  Boy was that a mistake!

Didn't see this thread until today...
 
Let's get the story straight... Gambling is pure logic. You aren't going to win when emotions come into play. Just like vanzack said... you have to be a machine... a computer. A computer doesn't have feelings... it has a program... it runs the program. Where as humans have emotions... gambling becomes addicting and people seem to 2nd guess themseleves on a bad string of losses. A computer wouldn't 2nd guess itself... it simply runs the program.
 
Sports Wagering is totally different offshore than ever now... especially with books such as Matchbook.com etc. Let me give you an example...
 
Let's say Sunday Night Baseball Features The struggling Detroit Tigers +170 at St. Louis Cards... -200. So you load up on Detroit and wager $2,000.00 to win $3,400.00... Let's say Detroit has an amazing Top of the 1st and scores 5 Runs... it's 5-0 Detroit already. St. Louis hasn't even swung the bats yet... and Matchbook says... ok it's now Detroit -200 and St. Louis +170... so now you load up on St. Louis at +170 $2,000.00 to win $3,400.00... now either way... whoever wins.. you're going to win $1,400.00 Cash. This is what Vanzack is saying. Yes, there aren't too many people who have a bankroll of $4,000.00 laying around... but this is how you make money offshore. Everyone want's to be the Big Dog at covers.com and make a thread and say hey... I'm taking Detroit +170... and I'm letting $2,000.00 ride on it... (I've done it myself) but then in the same thread... you say guys I hedged it the other way because Detroit scored 5 runs in the first... and I want to get some return on my money. People in the same post would say... WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT??? That's crazy!!! This is where emotions come into play. If you act like a machine this wouldn't bother you... you're playing to win. This is what Vanzack means with the 5% Type B. Club so to speak. People have way to much pride in letting Detroit ride out with that 5 run cushion... then all of a sudden St. Louis wins in the Bottom of the 9th and you thought you won $3,400.00 but you actually lost $2,000.00
 
This is how you win at Sports Wagering Offshore Style...
