Oh also, though my NBA finals prediction remains Detroit/San Antonio I think Dallas is the play here tonight. There are 3's out there now. I took much the worst of it on this play but hanging with my original ticket and rebought it at the lower price. I'm not one for polish middles....
I like Raiders play on Detroit -2.5 as well.
Good story Dicky, my experiences have been similar. In 25 years Senior McIrish (God rest his soul) as a small book never had a losing season in the NFL. We also had a couple of people who were sharper than the other players (even back then) who would call and ask us who we needed before they bet. They didn't always bet all of our needs but it was always tough to beat those guys it seemed. A wise player knows he needs as much info as he can, you can't win in this game unless you understand there is much to learn. I've never see a Mr Know It All win. Thanks for the posts Dicky, I along with others here probably need some help in order to win.
For the record our hold on straight action was very average but on parlays and teasers it was between 10% and 20% every year. Not telling anyone never to bet one, just giving out facts. I don't advise anyone to play the pari-mutuals at 25% juice either but some can beat the game, I can only wish I was so talented. BTW there can be a big difference in how many tickets you write on a game and where the money is. You may write 10-1 action on Duke but be in good shape overall.
Just my .02 cents, keep the change.....
