We get what youre doing. But this is just a free honor-system type of thing that wiper is nice enough to run himself. We dont really need the almighty TomG to angleshoot his way to pointing out a flaw in the way its being run.

fwiw I think everybody had the same number at that time of day.

Very well, now there's a hook but whatever I ain't scurred

LaSalle -5.5 but there's decimal points at Pinnacle instead of what I'm used to as the price and math is hard. Whatever the price is, I'll take it at that.

i really thought this thread might go, i dunno, a couple days before arguing about certain things started. lol

look, at some level this has to be a self-regulating type thing. if someone's posting stale and/or non-existent lines, we'll figure out what to do together. if someone is picking -1500 favorites every day (cough) we'll figure out if there needs to be a cap on favorite ml's.

i feel like i know this place pretty well, and i knew it was going to be mocked somewhat, but give it a chance. at the very worst, it could almost become a containment thread for new guys trying to impress people...

will that lead to line-shopping the best lines? yeah probably. but again, so what, right?

So you're idea of building a bridge between the haves and the have nots is to give the have nots an advantage? What a joke.

what do you suggest? just using pinny lines? or 5dimes?

i'm not trying to give anyone an advantage, obviously.

this is the second day, we can change things...how should we decide which book to use?

I ran 100,000 sims for you pathetic fks. Yes it's true, you could gain a small edge by betting big moneylines (either favs OR dogs, which you miserable momos seem to have failed to grasp):

but even a near-sighted chimpanzee should be able to line shop a little bit, and wow would you look at that:

Not sure why (well maybe I'm a little drunk) I thought at first this was a team total bet.

But obv not.

Glad I'm even after my bet today, even more glad I bet more than 1u on Giants.
