I understand. For me to make this personally manageable, I post .1% of what I do.  I post a handful of sides, all at the same time - at whatever the fair line is at the time.  Literally - that is the tip of the iceberg.  But I do that to engage in interaction - to spark conversation - but it has nothing to do with what is actually going on over the course of a week for me. Posting currently takes the right amount of time away from my week.  Not too much, not too little.  The other time I actively trading markets all week.  I trade every game, every week.  So I hope you can understand the challenge of putting up an accurate vig number.  Do you want to see my actual vig?  Well - then we would have to include the other 8 games on a sunday that I dont bet. For instance - I am not betting the Bucs Lions but I have a 4 digit green number next to both of them.  That means I have traded this week to make tonight a win / win.  Does that count towards my vig?  Does anyone care what I do?  They shouldnt - but for some reason.... Thats why I make it simple.  So you can add the vig.  Add 10%, or add 5%, or whatever you want.   I am curious....  And this is the most important question to ask yourself - and for spicycurry or anyone else.... WHAT AM I GETTING OUT OF THIS????  I have turned down too many offers to tout over the years to count.  I take no affiliate money from sportsbooks, or anyone else (I could).  I will never turn this in to a money making venture.  Ask yourself why?  There are so many days this shit aint worth it.  But I have been doing it a long time.  I enjoy the engagement.  Thats all I get from this.  I could end up -100 units or +100 units - IN THE END IT IS EXACTLY THE SAME TO ME. Maybe the answer is to just not keep a record.  I have to consider this.  It is certainly easier for me - and then nobody will be upset.

 

Van---I couldn't care less whether you keep a record. I believe I have a handle on how much work you do and I'm grateful you are so unselfish and willing to share your work. I am, however, amazed you take all this crap and continue to respond to the enthusiastically demented hate crowd. But I know you don't believe, and it it is unrealistic to think, that nobody will be upset if you don't keep a record. These haters are obsessed with you. They are not going to stop until you ignore them. You make them relevant by elevating them to your level by repeatedly engaging people who would have to go back to their obscure lives if you ignore them. I respectfully suggest you continue to engage the fair-minded and ignore the nuts who need your attention to escape their pitiful, pathetic lives.

@1129ken

I agree Ken. I could care less about 2.75 units and 2.75 pt spreads. I want to know about the cats and dogs lives that he’s influencing at the animal shelter. I want to make sure he’s involved in these animals lives and not just throwing money at them. I want to see him create bonds with the animals.

I certainly agree buffer. These animals are what truly matter. The cats. The dogs. The gorillas. Making a difference in their lives. Not some silly sports bet, Is he up or down cause of this juice they talk about. The animals. Do it for the animals.

@Belmont3b

 After the line for this game was released, odds and spreads moved in one direction at one time and possibly in opposite in other time. He was betting first one side and than the other side depending what the numbers were. Before start of the game his decisions were proven right as he held positions that will guarantee him profit no matter which side wins.

 

It takes skill, precision and a lot of work on your craft.

Van Zack, keep doing your thing the way that you want to man. For us that play on the NFL and really enjoy it, You provide a turnkey service for free. I don’t have to do my own research and pick my own losers, etc. I also appreciate how confident I feel in your pics every time that I put them in whether they win or lose and due to your track record, there will be more wins than losses. We obviously never know how that will end up at the end of the season, but that is the joy of this game that we call gambling. Keep doing your thing brother and you are appreciated by a lot of us.

This is a gambling site. I have my own charities. I give to animal shelters, but not that much because it isn't my thing. What I give is modest but I do it because over the years Van has made me money and it is HIS thing. The charities I give to I'm not involved in beyond the money. It's not reasonable to expect more than that. I am not in a position to "bond" with the recipients. I believe in my heart that Van is legitimate so I show him respect. I hope you will as well.

That’s just a glimpse of what I can do for you. If you need my services don’t hesitate reaching out. I wish you all the best and good luck moving forward.
