May I ask which sportsbook you use? Online right? Nowhere near the level you're at but often wondered how sportsbooks treat those with large bankrolls and winning consistently. Sometimes read about them limiting wagers etc.

Osprey shot 70% in first half and only had a 6 point lead.   Knew we were in trouble.   Should of bought out half my bet at halftime 


Hopefully we can get this to OT

I would never deposit any money with any online account.  Definitely not an online sports book.   The only people who are happy with online sports books are those who do not win consistently.  At the level my group plays at and at the rate we win?  The only safe place for our money is vegas.

I've been sports betting for a long time.  And have made fortunes over fortunes.  In my experience?  Never play any half time bets And never chase your bets ("buying out").  Those are degenerate moves (no disrespect) that can only lead to ruin long term.

If you lose, you lose.  There is always tomorrow.

Well vegas is impossible for most.  And thats a pretty snide remark about those that bet online...especially when that is most of the people on here...people you say you want to help for free.  Again, its all about you.  You appear to thumb your nose at those who have no other option but to play on line.

I have certainly had my share of success on line and I certainly wouldnt degrade those that may be in a different position than myself.

You couldnt just say that you play in vegas because of your location, setup, and stakes...nope you have to trash and demean at those that dont do it the way you do it.  I think you are a fraud, personally.

For someone who claims to bet and win SO MUCH and for someone who proclaims to be so organized, why is that you cant even organize your running record on here?  Not that hard...pretty simple to keep a running total.  You could start today and let your documented record speak for itself.

not to take a side here cos i dont know either of you....but the dude said that most or nearly all folk betting online are losing and your retort is to say that most of the people here are using online books...well,you do realise that practically ALL of us here are losing long term,rite??..or else we probably wouldnt be here....we'd be off sumwhere counting stacks or sitting on a beach or watever instead of sharing our misery with fellow degenerates.

and im not sure how saying that people are losing is "trashing" or "demeaning" them........its just simple fact aint it??....so it kinda makes 100% perfect sense that this cat would say he wants to help those that are losing cos they aint gonna need it if theyre winning,aye???....whether he is capable or not is another matter of course.

but just a wee hole in your rationale/pattern of logic

When someone shouts "not to take sides"...they are about to take sides...lol.

A "wee hole" in your quote:
He said: "The only people who are happy with online sports books are those who do not win consistently."  

(No "most" or "nearly" in that quote)

As far as who comes in here?  Dont lump me into your category...I dont come on here to wallow in losses;  or because I lose so much I feel the need to tail strangers on a message board.

I come in here for information which is a small percentage of the research/guidance I conduct on a daily basis.  Speak for yourself.

His quote was misguided...Im happy with my book and I have a documented record of success on here and elsewhere...more successful than his.  Basically, he is looking down on those that cant or dont bet in vegas...thats his M.O. from what I can see.

I did it for you...here are your results for this month.

MARCH

W/L:   12-7 (58%)
Profit/Loss:   +6 Units

Im no expert...according to you, im just another "degen" that doesnt bet as much as you or in the same location (Vegas).  BUT...

Looking back at your last month, the snippet of advice I would give to you is to be more consistent on your units.  INSTEAD of betting 1 unit here, 2 or 3 units there...BET a straight 2 UNITS each play.  

Had you done this for just this month, you would be +10 Units instead of +6.  This would seem to be a no brainer for such an expert as yourself...especially considering that you say no bet that you play is any stronger than any other.  

From the novice eye, this appears to be a flaw in your "money management".  I also noticed that you tend to chase or raise the units after a loss, something you advise others not to do.  

This system allowed me to finish my month at +18 units or triple that of yours.  See even you can learn something on here.

holy friggin shiiit,i WASNT taking sides(and how the fuu.k do you come to the conclusion i was shouting??),i was plainly and simply stating the case as i saw it...in fact ive had long winded arguments with this very same dude in other threads(but still have no animosity towards him).....but now that youve shown yourself to be a world class douche and an arrogant pric.k i dont mind taking sides at all.and it wont be yours im taking,mr. "dont lump me into your category"....mr. "speak for yourself".....in actuality i am speaking for an OVER-WHELMING MAJORITY of those in these forums,FACT-most of us lose long term,many lose badly...and you have the feckin nerve to call this other guy out for being a trash-talking,demeaning fraud??...got a mirror handy??....i know nothing of your posting record,havent checked you out around the forums yet but its probably safe to say over a big enuff sample you will DEFINITELY join the rest of us on the negative side of the ledger.and by the way you never need to post a single thing in these forums to collect information and analyse games from covers resources.


and as for quoting the guy word for word well thats just pathetic...obviously he has no way of knowing that LITERALLY every person betting online loses,how could he possibly know that???..he was obviously over-stating a little and meaning a large majority...but i guess everyone gotta get a feckin lawyer to proof-read all their posts in fine detail now so that a weasel like you cant come along and pick it apart,right??...make sure all the "mosts" and "nearly's" are all in the rite places.

i got no idea wat criteria he uses to determine unit size and im guessing neither do you....but heres a better piece of advice than that pile of shiit you just handed out to him....."dont fuc.ken give advice to people to improve their results based on such a tiny,insignificant sample size you short-sighted dunce!!!"...seriously,19 plays and you tryna tweak sumone elses approach when theyre ahead??...who knows,maybe his/her method has worked brilliantly for a long,long time(if he's really lucky,maybe even better than that of a genius like yourself)...in any case,if he does actually play 5 grand a unit then pocketing $30,000 well before the month is up isnt really the worst is it??


and please understand,i dont know or support this guy,never met nor hardly interacted with him(except when we clashed),but you are such an over-bearing blow-hard its just too damn difficult not to dislike and oppose wat you are putting out there.
