I have a good reason inside my head that i won't share on why its not a good idea to have these kinds of threads. You can ask me off of the forum if you wantFishhead said:Good topic here.
By the way, these are the type of threads that I personally would like to see more of in the OFFSHORE forum.
Good thing i was at a movie tonight or i would've had a loser in this one. Although it did go over with a defensive td with 31 seconds left.
I am assuming you do not think this is a good topic because it gives a heads up to the books...well i'm willing to say that books know most systems and adjust lines accordingly. I wouldn't follow the 2nd half system blindly but it provides great opportunities at times.

Might not have been the books he was referring to but perhaps other players. Only so big of a pie that can be cut. Personally I don't think this thread is bad but I do see stuff that is freely shared on the forums by some players that shouldn't be IMO.

Yeah, I was wondering what road you would take to bail out of this.
$5,000 eh? You guys crack me up. Sit behind the computer and run your mouth, but when it's time to play for keeps, you look for an excuse. Good job.
The bet offer is still on - so if you figure out what YOU accused me of and you grow some balls in the next few days, then post the wager and send the money. Until then, you know what I think of you.
PS: I never fudged anything. Since you called my statement horseshit, I simply explained what I meant. It's called an ELABORATION, or an EXPLANATION, or a CLARIFICATION. Get it?

NEVER take a line is worse than what you would have received before the game.
That was your original statement, I am willing to bet you whatever you want that the above statement is horsehit like i originally called it.
Here's an example :
Portland led Washington 48-40 at the half on Sunday, Portland was a 5.5 point dog in the game.
2nd half line was Washington -6, if you take Portland +6 for the 2nd half, you effectively have them -2 for the game.
In your words, you NEVER take portland at ANY line other than a line that makes em at least +5.5 or better for the game.
Even if Washington was -12 for the 2nd half, you still wouldn't take Portland. Its either Wash -12 or pass at that line.
I will bet you whatever you want that Portland is the play at anything better than +6.5.
Now step up or get lost dipshit.:finger:
Sure you will.
Thats not the point whether it was ever 6 or not, according to your theory, I need enough points on Portland to make em at least +5.5 or better so even if it was Wash -10 for the 2nd half, you would have passed on Portland since that would have only made em +2.
CRIS opened that 2nd half at Wash -6 and there were 6's everywhere.

Here is my play on the 2nd half in that game from Olympic. Now if you think I doctored this, I will give my account number and password to a mod here, they can go into my account and verify it and we can wager anywhere from $100 to $5,000 on that too.

What I gave was a RULE OF THUMB. I just wanted to say that people think a team who covers the 1st half will cover the 2nd half too. It is like saying not to lay more than 3 points in the NFL. Not always true, but a good guideline for new players. I never told them to bet something - I said play the other side or make it a no play.
Now back to the original argument which you're trying to weasel out of:

The bet is that I do have the stats. The wager is for whatever you choose to make it. Now that we are back onto the original accusation, are you going to change the subject again?Trust me he doesn't have em because if he did, he wouldn't have made his silly statement."
"What I gave was a RULE OF THUMB."
Actually you didn't you said NEVER in bold letters.
Then you proceed to break your own rule by playing Portland which goes against your "never take a line worse than the game line".
ucking:
What do you wanna bet again? Sounds like a lot of back peddling to me.:finger23:
