That's a whole nother topic. Though I do agree with you on some parts * It sucks that you say that the bookie will go through rough patches. What if rough patches is all they have seen? What if they win 95% of the over bets? - I swear it has something to do with the helmet rules in place. What if they all quit when they get down? I guess that's why it's a risk right? Maybe 11 weeks isn't long enough. Maybe magic will happen by the super bowl. View Post \| View Thread	RantinRave	173	November 23, 2010 View Post \| View Thread
replied to Do bookie's lose money? in Streak Survivor But doesn't the bookie win by assuming the player will hit 50/50 in the long run? So if the player makes (100) $100 wagers we are assuming that they will win $5000 and lose $5500 ($5000 + the juice). Or do we not even concern ourselves with that? If the action is to big we just put it off to another book? For example, since I'm in the rough now I would consider anything over $200 a "big" wager. So should I just put all that action on a low juice book (@ -105)? Everything seems easy in hindsight and quite frankly I would have followed these rules, but I got busted up my first couple weeks.

replied to Do bookie's lose money? in Streak Survivor Originally I thought that placing the bigger action on another book would be the smart move, but I've came to the conclusion it would have been smart to actually have a starting bankroll so that it doesn't effect me mentally the next day at work. I agree that in time they will lose, but we're in week 11 and the book is still down. Thankfully last night most went HUGE on the over. So I was able to get back some, but still I'm way down. I'll try and offer parlays and teasers, but that might make things a little more complex. Either way, I'll be sure to keep you all updated.

replied to Do bookie's lose money? in Streak Survivor Tuppy - Thanks for a genuine response. lol. I always thought that parlay's and teasers were the wrong route to go unless you had a a bunch start up money. For example, "this person" doesn't want a couple people hitting a 3-team $100 parlay. I mean, in the long run they are going to lose, but right now there could be some desperation for a losing week. They will be considered though.

created a topic Do bookie's lose money? in Streak Survivor This is all hypothetical of course.. A person loses a lot of money to online sports books and this person's local guy. He then decides to take action from close friends and some others. In four weeks he gets cleaned out for 4k. Usually a bad weekend would be -500. He's doing everything "correctly" (i.e. charging 10 cents on the dollar, taking straight wagers only, game and halftime lines, etc.) What would you do? A. Stop B. Continue C. Other PS - 50% are known degen's. The other 50% never wagered on a game in their entire life. View Post \| View Thread	RantinRave	173	November 16, 2010 View Post \| View Thread
replied to Official Contest Rules in Pool Discussion • To be eligible for prizing, all accounts must have wagered a minimum of $100 or more prior to July 15th, 2009. I'm assuming this means that I'm no longer eligible? I think I registered for an account 9-10 weeks ago, but only wagered $50. Does this mean if I somehow end up in the top 10 I won't get a prize?
