Broncos9798,
I am going to explain this for you and the thread one last time, and I hope that I don't have to go over this again, because I hate retracing my steps.
If you can grasp the statement, don't pay vigorish then you are already there. Taking an example of a -110 bet for $300.00. It usually will take $330 to win $300 on a -110 bet right?
Put up exactly $300.00 to win $272.73, and with the remaining $30.00 you would have put up on your -110 bet to make $300.00 ($330.00) put it on the other sides moneyline.
If I put up $300.00 to win $272.73 on the Celtics -10.5 -110 -1400 on one book, and then on another I put up $30.00 on the Warriors moneyline at +1000, then it is easy to see that if the Warriors win, then I get back $300.00.
If I had taken the Warriors, the I would have put the $30.00 on the Boston moneyline (-1400) and take the profit. No matter how small it's better for you to get the profit, than to voluntarily give it to the books everytime you take a loss.
That's why I never take a complete loss. I don't give a damn if I only win some crumbs. They are my crumbs, and not Bodog's,or greeks or Linemsakers, and so on. The vig is what keeps them in business. Once you learn that, then you won't mind taking a chance on yourself on everysingle bet instead of giving it away every single bet. Sure I lost with the Celtics pick yesterday, but i was able to salvage almost ALL of what i put down, instead of taking an outright loss. I lost with the 600.00 on the Kings, but i also got some -175 money for the Raptors as well played for $60.00.
Hope you understand now. You need your money in more than one sportsbook, or if you have to, get two accounts with the same one.
Ant2nv,
You do realize that you are doing all of this talking without putting up your picks and the reason why you came up your picks. i ain't through with you yet. You can be a positive contributor, or you can look foolish however do you want it. Or better than that, you can start your own thread. Now that's three choices for you, which one you gonna do?
