65% for a season is a fluke of a season. 65% over the long run you need to quit your day job and gamble for a living and sell your picks or be a linesmaker. NO ONE on this site hits 65%. No one. But we should all should strive for it. Good luck Vin.

I'm not good enough at other sports to gamble for a living. Just cfb

[Vin_vermillion]

And Vin...I promise. I will not bust on your picks. No more wiseass comments from me, I will let you work on your selections and post your picks.

Good luck.

No worries. And thanks. We're good

[Greyraptor]

Seriously though, you hit 65% in BTP and take a look at the cash you could win. For that reason alone I maintain my SBR Pro status. I was leading it last year---with 2 weeks left-----and then NCAA football ended, and I only had the NFL to select from---I lost 7 of 8 games and choked away any chance of winning.

OMG that sucks. I looked at that but $200 right now is a bit hard to come by. I took you up on the suggested reads...thanks! I did notice that Bodog is listed but before I can pull out of BetUs, I have to meet their rollover requirements. I wish I had found the SBR site beforehand but nothing I can do about that now. Once I meet the rollover requirements for the freeplay money I can take it out and go over to 5 Dimes which is what I notice alot of people on here use.

Just wanted to say thanks again for everything! You may have saved me thousands in the long run. Points coming your way!

[Vin_vermillion]

Now that all the convo is out of the way - I am reposting this one - apparently I am the only one - but I took:

WVU -23.5 for 1/2 unit. 6-5 and +4.3 units.

BOL all on your plays tonight

[Vin_vermillion]

Gonna add a unit play on Texas a&m tonight. -15. Glad I went light on Wvu...expected this offense to be much better than this. Terrible.

Game still isn't over but who the hell knows what to expect after this damn delay

[Vin_vermillion]

Looks like a 1-1 day

1 unit on Texas A&M +100. W
1/2 unit on Wvu L. -55

Now 7-6 on the season and +4.75 units on the season. Frankly week one Is usually a terrible week for me, so pretty happy with the start to the season.

Wow Did WVU game get called? That might be twice I lucked out this week...???

I just saw the final and thought it was a loss.

If so 7-5 this week and +5.3 units on the week. I will verify with my bookie and update accordingly...

[Vin_vermillion]

So WVU got called yesterday - making it a good day with the TAMU win

7-5 overall and +5.3 units.

Tonight I am taking Maryland -3.5. 1 unit again

Good luck guys.

Nice hits on the big plays

[Vin_vermillion]

thanks - week one is usually a struggle for me, so I am pretty happy about how it went down.

[Vin_vermillion]

Friday Sept 9.

ASU -7.5, 1.5 units.

I am getting it before it heads to 8. if this game was on saturday and I was up money al ready for the week, I would be going even bigger on it.

Good idea since it has already made that move at my offshore site.

[MartinBlank]

Good luck Vin!

[Vin_vermillion]

[fishmonger]

I dont place any bets until 1/2 hour before gametime.

What happened to that?

[Vin_vermillion]

What happened to that?

When I posted that I was using a bookie. Now I am using an offshore. If you read back you will see that I said my bookie only takes wagers 1/2 hour before game time. Then, Martin talked me into putting money offshore to get better lines. I am actually going to play offshore at 5 dimes and then global starting this week ( used the money from my winnings last week to load sbg all ready). That's how i got the line at 7.5.

Thanks for keeping me honest though. Normally I don't even care that much about a half point but I see this game going up to 8.5 maybe.

[Vin_vermillion]

One other thing , fish. I actually DON'T like to place bets much before 1/2 before gametime in MOST cases. If you want my reasons for this i will Inbox u but I won't put it on the site for personal paranoia reasons lol.

[Lucky1g]

Yea, once I meet rollover requirements with my current sportsbook, I am switching to 5Dimes as well. I love their reduced juice signup bonus offering.

never used, them, but I dropped a couple hundy in the sbg account, and I had about $400 left which I am going to drop in five dimes.

had a buddy that used five dimes, although I am somewhat concerned because i did read some people bitching about payout time at 5 dimes....

[Vin_vermillion]

I am only gonna drop a half a unit tonight on the game.

I am just not crazy about this one.

Tonight:

Arizona +14 (1/2 unit)

Tomorrow:

FIU +4 (1 unit)
ASU -7.5 (1.5 units)

Well if you don't make out with these then I am going down with you Vin. I have a full unit on Arizona tonight and LOVE the game. Think it will be close as this is a revenge game for the 'Cats and they are returning Foles and Criner...the heart and soul of last year's offense.

Not sure about tomorrow's game quite yet but leaning the same way you are albeit for a full unit each.

[Vin_vermillion]

Let's do this thing !!

[Lucky1g]

this is my first year with offshore..i choose to use 5 dimes. put 3 Gs in and have already doubled my bankroll..they offer free payouts on mondays and i recieved 2000 check via fedex by friday same week..also there reduced juice is great

Good to know man.

I just read a few bad reviews, but honestly 1) people go to the internet to complain, not to praise usually, and 2) you never know the "full story"

thanks for sharing though.

[Vin_vermillion]

Lucky - what have you been doing so well on? baseball?

I did well the first half but the second half was average at best, so once FB started, I moved on. Was just curious since you said you doubled so quickly....were you following someone, or just playing your own?

Criner is out FYI. Shouldn't matter imo though. I think 'Zona covers easily and has a chance to win outright. OK State way overrated.

Thanks for that info Blue. Still with Nick Foles at QB, I like the 'Cats to cover easily.

wow! my next offshore is 5dimes, no doubt. booking with sportsbook and bodog for years,
always payout reasonably well. but my action is mostly local, so I'm not paying fees, taxes, etc.

[Vin_vermillion]

Well - took an easy loss last night on a 1/2 unit bet on AZ. knew there was a reason I didn't feel good about it.

That puts me at -.5 units for this week, 8-6 over all and +5.75 units on the season.

I am going to add an extra half unit to the ASU game tonight. Line went to 8.5 like I expected....and I dont care - still going to pull the trigger at 8.5


Tonight:

FIU +4 (1 unit)
ASU -7.5 (2 units)
