i've got 1 guy i play into here who takes it off the paper. It is great because when Shaq and Kobe are out and the line is now Lakers -5.5, I end up getting Dog +13 sometimes. Now here is the tricky part. This guy here is clueless, and I am very thankful that he has 60 customers and myself and someone else are the only guys who know what we are doing. They are all squares, I saw his sheet. But what I do is I have a settling figure of 5k with him. Anytime it reaches 5k, we collect. Sometimes i am meeting this guy everyday or 9 out of 10 days. This way, I cannot get stiffed by him because it's a matter of time before I do get stiffed by him. But here is the good part. I scalp and middle every game that is off with this guy with my offshore books. So here is the good news for me. I cannot beat this guy if my life depended on it. I must be down now over 300 dimes to this guy lifetime, and I love it. This bookie loves me to death. He thinks I'm the biggest square he's ever seen, which is absolutely great for me. I want him to think this, because it's a matter of time when i win 6 straight weeks and take him out of business by winning back the 300 dimes, plus interest. I just hope I keep losing to this guy. But i would recommend if anyone plays with a guy like this, settle with him on a daily basis if you have to. Don't ever make a figure run that high. It's a matter of time before these dummies go down.
curt,
yes, bet every single game that is off. The games that are off by a little, don't put much. But the games that are off by a lot, bet big on them. Try to bet the most for your dollar.
