Thanks a lot, much appreciated. The follow is directed at VR and in no way at you, thanks again for the post.

I don't get why the hell he waits til 5:30 to let these plays out. He knew damn well at 9am the Slicks hit this game, it was up on his site. It's not like they're gonna call in and cancel the damn bet, what the hell is he waiting to confirm? The line opened at -6.5, he released it at -7.5, but it is now already -8 across the board. Just annoys me and I don't get it.

the reason Bill waits, is to see if any other Slick take the opposite side, if so he doesnt release it, no bet. at times many slicks r on the same game &it just strengthens the Value of it.

I agree Tex. I always get stung when I make that bet. I am waiting.
VR also likes the Over in the Columbia game. That line is coming down.

Disagree...it does not strengthen your bet when you have to lay a worse number than all the "sharps" did

Because he doesn't want it "copied and pasted" all over the internet all day long. And.......because he wants to punch a big ticket first and get the better line than all of us junkies.

Well, it gets copied and pasted no matter what, so thats a null point. Although a valid suggestion. And he should be smart enough to bet his favorites early to get good lines if this is all he does..

im not sure but i think bookie bill waits to see if another slick puts a big play goin against it?

This is a solid point, but it may not be worth sacrificing points as slicks going against slicks on low-profile games is very unusual, and worst case scenario its a 50-50 flip.


Thanks to both of you for the input, but I still think it would be better if he released plays earlier.

 

[fastandcash]

Actually the line just went up to 44....so now its going back up. I got in at 133 this morning.

Ummmm because he does not want them posted on here for free at 9am would be my guess. :smashf:

If you're talking about waiting for UW-Milwaukee that may be risky, I saw -8.5 on BetOnline. Granted it is down to -8, I would guess it would go back to -8.5 before it comes down to -7.5.

If he releases it early then people will post it and he wont get paid.

you are missing my point. Bill gives great info, no doubt. Thats not the debate. Also, I guarantee you that Bill will not tell you that you have just as good a play at -6 than at -8.

 

[E.K.SportsAssociates]

[Donkwin47]

I've seen like 4 people mention that he waits so it doesn't get posted, but every day at 6:30 ET like clockwork, its posted in all its glory. Whatever..

I follow Bill's bets too, but y'all really think Bill is a real person and not VR? I dont mind that he is a marketing tool i just feel silly about thinking he is "real". But at the end of the day66% is 66%!!

That means he can sell it up until 6:30.

Ok well I guess it wasn't that risky.. Just went to -7.5 on a few books, and even -7 on 1 or 2.. Currently -7 on LooseLines.

Al DeMarco has a pick on Memphis-San Antonio.
