    Sound advice from my good friend FEZZIK......



    When betting early in the week, betting teams +2.5, +6.5, +9.5, and +13.5 in football can be n horrendous mistakes. Unless you are a world class bettor, I would say, NEVER bet these numbers.
    If you lose line value and have to take +2, or +9, no big deal mathematically. But if the line moves the other way, you have literally just donked away your chips, having essentially bet a game -110 you should have bet -100. I have been involved with several succesful betting groups in the past, and I can say that the one thing that would have us literally screaming at each other is when someone threw a +2.5 bet into the pot, when we could get +3 or better. The guy would try to defend it, but the truth is one crappy bet like this will sandbag a good portfolio of 4 others. You cannot win if 20% of your bets at 47.5% bets.......because now your other bets have to win at over 54% just to win. One lemon in a portfolio (under 48% -110), is DEVASTATING to a bottom line expectation.

    All the threads I see in this forum are gambling related, thus no threads need moved.

    I sure don't see why there is all the hate for Fish and Friends. It's nice to the the tank with a little excitement for a change.

    At least Fish knew what Dudley was.

    why share your wisdom if you have an edge which enables you to win? Couldn't this come back and backfire on you at a later date.

    He doesn't have an edge. Have you ever seen his picks beat a closing number? I feel sorry for the people who want solid information on this site now. It will all be lost in the spam and bullshit if this continues.

    Monkey I wasn't saying he has an edge. He just wants attention. I actually like the Think Tank, learned a lot from it.

    Monkey, you are fighting a losing battle. Same way that they used to say "bad money drives out good", one could say that stupid posts drive out posts of value. And it looks like stupid posts have official support as well.
