How to beat the books

Hello degenerates! I would like to introduce myself here in the forum as BadAssBookie. A nickname given to me a long time ago when I did some dirt trying to collect. That's what they call me here on the streets of Fresno,Ca. I'm not a big time bookie though. Not huge like Vegas books type deal. I still do things the old fashion way like clients calling in for the spreads, printing lines on papers and occasionally via text. I've been in the gaming business for over 20yrs. You have to know what your doing to be in business this long. Occasionally you have a few runner that tries to be the big shot but gets burned at the end. I always advise them to not bet and just collect. You will be on top at the end of the season but they never listen. My runners become my clients in the end, how ironic. Its very slow after football season because most bettors usually are out of money by then or owe me money and can't place bets in anymore. So I try to make the most out of it in the short time spam. To stay in the business you need to stay ahead of the pack. Having backup and outlets to know when you can handle a bet. The problem is people get greedy. The more they win the more they bet feeling confident on wagers and that my friend is how Vegas gets you. We build your confident up and baaam, just like that crush your hope and dreams. I'm just wondering are there any bookies out here as well? Seems like everyone's betting thread, but hardly see any bookies post. Just wondering.

Most books not budging off the key #.  I feel oddsmaker is making a mistake. I feel it should be ATL -6. 51 before line openers.  Last time ATL was a favorite, they covered.  Books feeling confident on ATL -3 with majority $$ on ot. To be honest books gonna lose if they hold on to that ATL bet.  I'm sure they will make up for it on NCAAF. ITS NOT LIKE THE END OF THE WORLD FOR US to lose on a lopsided play on NFL cuz we know we will get ya by MNF. lol. Don't be scared to play ATL. No such crap as sharp or square. 

With all due respect I must disagree. This is a classic trap game and the low line is just attracting more action on Falcons. Which in my opinion is exactly what the books want! Saints win straight up tonight!!

If you want to have plus $$$ to start the week off.

Line has dropped to - 3, in most books. If most of the public on Atlanta why the drop in the line?

I don't think this is a trap.  We took $$ all week last week. Snf and MNF killed them.  Now this week we not getting heavy bet traffic maybe bc lack of bettors confidence. You may be right , some people are playing ATL-3 on world $$$ tally. However it can be a comp game.  We do have NCAAF lines too. Maybe this is the COMP Vegas game to boost bettors confident. Trust me, when it seem too good to be true it is.  You can literally blind bet NE side from now till end of the season and I feel you will be plus money. If you have the discipline.  But you know how defend are. We play everything. Lol

This line open -2.5 to -4 at some books.  I still think ATL will cover by 2 possessions. So who ever was the real smart guy he might catch it at -2.5 and +4 for the middle. That's those safe bettors. They buy points and take a risk losing on juice or win both bets if ATL wins by exactly 3. But books don't get middle easily. Like I say, we are ahead of the game and we won't be middle. It's rare that we do.  But -4 to -4.5 should be no prob nether.  For example I won't give info to my other buddies that book in Reno about a fresno at game bc we know that's a given that locals will bet FS.  So I guess depending on where u are books gets different action. I can't imagine a book in MA being in business long taking NEW ENG action all day. 

After reading your posts I want to create a user name as Badassplayer - but Covers do not allow 2 screen names 

As a "bookie" what reason would you be giving plays, if your business is to make money? Doesn't make sense... Saints ml is the play

What a nice guy...as nice as a crack dealer giving out free rocks to all the junkies. What a joke...not saying atl isn't the play, not saying NO is cause im sitting this game out...but gtfoh

Sorry BadassBookie cant talk now he needs to be in bed by 8pm for 6th grade gym class tomorrow morning,,

I'm a small time bookie. It's not like my clients know how to pick bets.  If u don't believe that's on u.  I'm only giving out these sides because I like to get some attention. I want people to like me.  People hate me in real life bc of what I do. Lmao. Seriously.  They don't like me. I'm a hole. Hope I can win your guys love so I don't feel like a bad person taking people money

This is a very funny Man 

Oh, man 

It might be 2015, but in this thread, it's 1983. 

dude your joke aka badassbookie

And so ends the career of Badassbookie  

0-2 is bad.  I'm probably 53% picks in my lifetime wagering.  It's just finally caught up to me.  And like I say, I'm a small time bookie bc I'm retired.  Give me time to prove myself.  Besides, you guys are quick to judge when someone makes a bad pick and still would criticize even if I was making good pick. Either way it's a lose lose situation here. You people are pathetic. Kick a guy that's on the ground. Today's society I tell you. Bunch of college kids trying to make lunch money.  Try to retire at age 35 doing what I do. Ya talk like you know me.  Like I say, I'm not afraid to be judge. That's why if you don't know who I am then be quit about it.  I'm in Fresno Ca and if you don't believe me, come visit me. Bunch of Internet Rambo. 

Btw I have Cinci+6.5 in NCAAF for those auditors.  Let's see how badass I am.  Let's hope I lose this and go 0-3 as some of you may wish for.   Just bc a former bookie gives plays don't mean he's making money off you or breaking my bank account.  I thought this was a betting community and I figure hey, maybe they need someone who's been in the industry for over 20yr to give some real life insight. I bet some of you never experience the process how lines are put out or the atmosphere behind the sportsbook doors.  I figure I would provide done insight on a small scale level.  I'm not claiming to be a big shot.  Just someone who retired at 35yr old doing what I love doing.  

YES!!!
