Billy Walters approves....

Hey Luke your on a great Hot streak 9-0 but please only refer to posted picks as we have no way to verify if you have won for 20 days straight. I would love if you could extend your winning streak to 20 games. Gl to you.

Interesting thread I have no idea what to make of it, but keep posting please will be interesting to see what happens once you hit a reasonable sample size if you're around that long

About 3 weeks ago I started taking moneyline favorites with mostly home favorites in college bball. Usually most home teams with spreads between 6 and 9 win outright even if they dont cover. I started doing parlays and action reverses with the moneylines which can payout big amounts but obviously the risk with the action reverse can wipe out everything. The swings are big and on days I lost it would usually clear my winnings from the past two days (thank you Louisville losing to South Florida) but over the three week period I have yet to lose for an entire week.
College winners are much easier to predict than NBA cuz every win means a lot more for a college team. Again small sample size but it seems that going with moneyline favorites is more profitable than trying to pick spreads.

Hate to rain on your parade cause your on a roll but az lost yesterday, you need to adjust your record to 4-1 and subtract your units with that massive bet you placed on them

Lol r u serious

What? Arizona St. won? I never even checked the box score - I guess my bookie didn't either. I don't typically check the box scores because I know all my plays are Ws (except for the losses). My bookie must be in the same boat.

Well, I'm up 105.971824, but I suppose if you are betting somewhere else, they may have graded the Arizona St. game a loss (though I can't see why they would even check on a huge ML favorite like this.) So, I'll post the worst case scenario for you guys who don't know what you're doing:

4-1, +105.663.

Still pretty good for 3 days worth of work: Up nearly 32 units per day! (And, much better than Luke's alter-ego/immortal FMITA buddy and his measly 30 units or whatever over what seems like an eternity: 30u/eternity = 0, no?) Not as good as +105.971824 units, but we'll take it.

Obviously this is where money management comes into play. And roulette skillz. Bet 4000 units on sure things and only bet 1/4 unit on teams playing in-state rivalry games on the opponent's senior night where the opponent plans on shooting 58% from 3p, 55% from 2p, and 92% from the foul line.

I'll be back later for more cash.

Looks like we found jdocks' other account.

Have no problem making fun of people yet at the same time have no shame in being a bottomfeeder in every other thread.

And on the 22nd day God rested.

With march madness coming up it is going to be much more difficult because there are always tough upsets that no one really predicts and all the games are on neutral courts. UMass Dayton St Joe's and La Salle should be good games to look at for tomorrow if you are looking at moneylines. Uconn plays much better with Jim Calhoun back on their bench and Seton Hall needs to beat Providence to have a chance at making the tournament.

Scratch that, he found some good value.

risking 13.2 units to win 3, Denver ML -440

Not South Dakota St? The real value already past tonight as Toledo and North Texas were both undervalued by the odds makers.

3/01/12 Due to an obvious line error, wagers on 2H Texas were deleted. If you have any questions please feel free to contact customer service. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Wagering rules: NO OPEN PARLAYS OR TEASERS... MAX WAGER FOR ANY PARLAY OVER 4 TEAMS IS $100....MAX 2 TOTALS IN 4 TEAM TEASER ... MAX 2 MONEY LINE DOGS IN PARLAYS ...

So I was betting online with a local bookie for about 6 months. I was down a little bit till i started doing moneyline ARs and parlays. After running well for 3 weeks this pops up on my screen. Read the last of the wagering rules. Has anyone ever seen a bookie do this? I dont recall him having a problem when i was losing hockey parlays but when i hit on NCAA parlays and ARs he shuts it off mid week? Just wondering if this is ever common.
Oh and the halftime Texas line when they played Oklahoma that i bet which they screwed up was deleted off my account. They posted it +400 when it should have been -400.

The win every day run is officially over.

ruh roh

Clearly this was a hugely +EV bet.

Even the great ones can't win every day. The run is over but he told me he'll be pounding the #1 and #2 seeds in some of these conference tournaments to quickly recoup his loss today. He's still up money and super confident. At the end of the day its basically just 13 units lost. He can definitely win that back in 2-3 days and get back to the greatness he showed for 21 days.

9-1 posted record. Won 17 units by risking 92.55. 2-3 upsets and it's in the negative. Just sayin'.

Damn , I was about to suggest thread title be changed to sharp's friend's LOCKS or something, thats how sharky got big

Why all the hate itt, is'nt any winner better than a loser. All these knockers hating on ML favs, probably breaking Ev, marginally winning/losing at best on spreads and the like, fark jealousies a curse. If anyone had the roll to double, triple, quad up and recoup those occasional big ML favs losses and a bookie to keep taking them, would'nt this be easy game rather than looking for marginal edges in spread and props?

+1. Just don't go tout on us, Luke. I'm paying off my student loans with all these winners!!!

I'll be jumping on the #1/#2 seeds as well.

Can't wait to take advantage of all the great value when they are -5000 in the first two rounds.....'

this is why threads like this these are bad

Plenty of people have the roll, this would be a good way to go about losing it. I would wager that the troll could have got better prices and much higher limits on ever bet at pinnacle without worry of being kicked out. You think they just hand out money there?
