My oh my, someone needs to teach a class in internet posting etiquette. Perhaps someday I will be of more service than just bitching about thread posting etiquette, but for now that's all I got.

Schaap, perhaps you could put a small note under your picks to "buy points if necessary", so newbies don't clutter the thread asking for redundant advice.

Once again schaap, thanks for all the hard work.

So you went against a 22-5 record? Im confused i dont like to see that. Everything i have had Niagra my strongest CBB game today! lol

I usually say "buy hook" and ive mentioned it about 50 times to get the line i post.

schaapattack · 02-20-09, 07:34 PM

schaapattack · 02-20-09, 07:35 PM

Dexter · 02-20-09, 07:38 PM

niagra in blowout mode early - nice

Bob Roberts · 02-20-09, 07:38 PM

I already had my play in, then I saw your play after the game went off!..... I went with the team from the better conference getting points..... this is the kind of "misread" I make a little too often.

niagra up 29 - 13 right now!

note to self: Do not go against a record of 22-5

Karayilan9 · 02-20-09, 07:44 PM

My brothers in distress

- Have a few Online accounts at various bookies
- Make sure at least one of two of your books play College hoops with all the extras ie 1st Half, Over/Under, Buy points etc

Then we won't need so many posts about different lines, you goto be organised man.

tyler36 · 02-20-09, 07:56 PM

Well i'm on Okl City at +9, but my fackin local bookie said he didn't have a line for the niagara game, i was like bullshit your just tired of getting spanked by me, with the help of schaapy of course... looks like i'm gonna have to get an online account somewhere, where do you play schaaps? just curious gl all

Has anybody had problems getting into SBR the last few days? I keep missing out on schapps picks!!! All other sites work fine, but when I try to load this page it says "can not connect to server". I am pulling out my hair missing out on money!!!

schaapattack · 02-20-09, 08:02 PM

Pensinger1 · 02-20-09, 08:31 PM

Tyler,

Check out the ratings on the Sportsbook Review page here at SBR. There are some very solid books online, and yeah, you definitely need to ditch the local, cuz it seems like he's tired of payin your bills lately! There are several books w/ an A rating or better (a few w/ A+)... 5 Dimes is excellent, so is Diamond, The Greek and Bookmaker. I would look into the Bonuses they offer and pick the one that suits you best. BOL.

tyler36 · 02-20-09, 08:32 PM

Sweet thanks for the tip Pensinger, will get on it early tomorrow... gl tonight boys and girls!!!

SmoothMojo · 02-20-09, 08:35 PM

I signed on at 5Dimes. If you like baseball, they are one of the better books with options and pricing. I am done with my local bookies, its like pulling teeth to place a bet or collect, but when you owe, they have no problem meeting up to collect.

bigboyfosho · 02-20-09, 08:43 PM

Diamond is really good so far for me

sqvirrel · 02-20-09, 08:48 PM

schaap, have you looked into totals at all?

schaapattack · 02-20-09, 08:50 PM

no..going to lay off totals

bigboyfosho · 02-20-09, 08:51 PM

whats the score in the niagra game?

secret007 · 02-20-09, 08:53 PM

58-50 as of now.. they are getting closer..

andywend · 02-20-09, 08:54 PM

schapp, first time posting on your thread and I have to say very impressive stuff. I live in Las Vegas and taking into account early sharp action is a very good starting point. Clearly the additional "tinkering" you are doing is paying nice dividends.

Since it can sometimes be difficult to remain glued to a particular thread, how would you rate your "early leans" as opposed to your booked plays?

I placed a 3 team round robin parlay for $100 each ($400 total) with your 3 leaned plays last night (columbia plus 4, OKC plus 9 1/2 and Milwaukee plus 7 1/2). We got the first one home in Columbia as an easy winner.

I'm assuming your "early leans" will probably win less often than your booked plays and am wondering if you believe its profitable to bet those on their own merits?

Thanks.

schaapattack · 02-20-09, 09:01 PM

I wouldnt but early leans are plays at that time. Sometimes i take the play off for a cetain reason but at that particular time when i post the early leans they are plays and sometimes as you can see i eliminate them for one reason or another i would rather not get into. If you play the early leans your on your own..lol
I just felt Niagra was the top play tonight in college hoops and the others were taken off my play list for certain reasons...good luck

bigboyfosho · 02-20-09, 09:03 PM

is the niagra game over yet?

Dexter · 02-20-09, 09:05 PM

up 9 with 1:13 left
