How can your best bet not count in your thread
Or it wasn't really your best bet and you wanted credit if it hit but not on your record?
I am confused
Honsetluy no knock on anyone if they lose I appreciate opinions and the effort but you gotta be honest
Makes no sense one way or the other
No Problem..It was simply the best bet for larger ML dogs of the 3 this week but I made no play on it in my thread.
I never said it didn't count.

Lol….

Conditioned gambler
Have to find the edges
Today is a new day
I know how the lines are made

I can only laugh. Congrats to big Lou for making the most dead on post in the world. If there is an edge to every game, our resident expert can’t pick it.

you cannot make this stuff up.

Duke -3 (-125) over UCF
Duke ML -165 over UCF.
This line moved from UCF -2.5 to Duke -3.5. A 6 point movement.
The Best way to play this is the ML.
For this who dont like ML plays I would still play Duke at -3 but its not worth the risk when the ML is far better.
UCF had three starters leave through the portal. 2 on defense and 1 on offense. Thats the main reason for the line movement IMO.

Duke does have solid numbers. although vs bowlers they re -2 in scoring on average.
There are some real good indicators that Duke could play extremely well..
It reflects in how good they were against North Carolina back in week 7 when they barely lost 38-35 as a 7 point dog.
Reason why Im lookin g at that game is because NC had QB Drake Maye in that game. He is spectacular - with Season numbers like 4,115 yds and a QB rating of 160 while putting up 35 TD's and only 7 ints.
I dont think UFC QB Pumlee is any comparison to Maye.

UCF had a solid defense but are losing 2 great players.

UCF will be without wideout Ryan O'Keefe, linebacker Jeremiah Jean-Baptiste and defensive back Davonte Brown as the trio has transferred.
UCF will also be adjusting to new defensive play caller Addison Williams, who was promoted after defensive coordinator Travis Williams left for Arkansas.

Coach Elko for Duke has turned around this program and should win this.
Elko quickly got the program back on the right track in his first season. Duke had a winning record in ACC play (5-3) for the first time since 2014. Elko was named ACC Coach of the Year and is a semifinalist for the George Munger Coach of the Year award.
My Play Duke.

5:30PM
Arkansas -2 and ML -140 over Kansas.
Both teams can win this.
They only edge I see is that Kansas defense has crumbled in the last 3 games of the season.
They've allowed 43, 55 and 47 points. Considering that their scoring averages with 10 bowlers this season is 32 on offense and 38 on defense, those last three games make the numbers much worse. The average is 48 pts per game allowed for those 3 games.

Arkansas has also plaved a few better teams - as they played Alabama, LSU and Ole Miss. Those three teams averaged 33 points against Arkansas.
MY Play. ML -140



The person that called him out was me. He counted Arkansas as a ATS winner on this post. Two games, same day, one very clear was a ML play. Seemed off, but thought it could be a mistake. He was a guy i was following but looks like he does some shady stuff.

0-4. I wouldn't argue, making idiotic comments anymore. Listen and you'll learn something

Only responding to the assumption.

There is an EDGE on every game. Otherwise Vegas wouldn't take the risk to post a line on every game. When Vegas doesnt have the advantage built into the spread against the masses, they pull the game down.

Its their line- not the gamblers line - and the gambler has to find the advantage that began already posted in Vegas' favor, otherwise they wouldn't take the risk and take the bets.
It always been based on pubic betting history and and current public perception.
Is there a way I can make this my handle picture? Anyone know… classic information here

You made no play on it but you posted it? Do you bet what you post? ? you did say it didn't count cause you didn't post it in your thread.

I’m not bashing the guys picks, just the BS he calls out on here about vegas and how it works. It’s plain silly. And like the OP states. If what he said is true, he sucks at picking the winning side of it

and exploited or anyone else… he’s not a good college football capper. Pm me if you want the truth on that, this season for him was the exception not the rule. Much like the blackjack gambler hitting a 12 vs a 5

Handicapping is not about fun.

then that's your mistake, people who think they're going to earn a living or supplement their income are in for a rude awakening

gambling is much better when you're just having fun

when you begin gambling for a daily or weekly or monthly profit, you're more inclined to make the biggest mistake of all

chasing

chasing is the problem

Doc it appears you haven't played double deck BJ or are just a basic strategy player. If you can't count cards you are wasting your money. Do you know about Deviations? Playing Deviations are times where you will deviate from basic strategy because the composition of the cards has changed due to the true count changing.

Nah, just an analogy.

I played blackjack for fun when I was younger. I know basic strategy and a basic high low count. Casinos around here all changed their rules 10 years ago or so and made the game so player unfriendly I quit.

now when I go into a casino I don’t even walk by the pits. Sports book and Poker Room only places I stop in when I go now days

Gotta have a program going into the season and stick to it.
Limiting plays... sticking to weekly amount allotments is key IMO.
Some amount of discipline .

Main thing is it should be fun..very sorry to see the season ending

Funny thing is our resident expert actually mocked someone that has a posted winning record and bragged about how many games he’s posted over multi sports.

Guess I’m confused are you suppose to win money or see how many games you can bet. Being a loser over a large amount of games is better than being a winner over a lesser amount??

also the… who can teach me anything comment…. Good grief. Lol. But hey he managed to sit a game out today, so maybe he’s taking some advice.
