He got them at -1 last night... Personally, I think if you wanna tail at this point you might as well just do the moneyline. It's -2 pretty much everywhere and it's never a good idea to tail if you can't get it at the same/better number (then again if he's putting 50 units on it, he probably doesn't think they will just win by 2).

-2 is also safe for 50X. IMO

Bro...I didnt say one thing in my post that incinuated any hate towards you. I wished you well on your wager. I do follow LB's thread and have read all of your post.

regardles of how you chop it, you are wagering 100% of your 5dimes bankroll on 1 game! doesnt matter how much you have rolled up in your sock or tied up in cyberspace. thats a books dream player to have clients risk 50% - 100% of their bankrolls on a wager, they love that because they know sooner than later, they are going to own your deposit.

im not a greenpea newb at this. I have been doing this over 2 decades. hell, my son & daughter in college are probably older than you. my 5dimes balance is more than you prob earn in a years time. so are my Betjam, Legends and DSI accounts. they got that way by smart money management. you should know that only 5% of the bettors win long term and the other 95% end up losing their rolls to the books. think about that for a second. let it sink in. all players that fall in the 5% that are in it for the long haul wager on a proven money management system of some kind. if they don't, they will eventually be in the 95% category.

I really do hope your wager cashes. I dont like seeing anyone lose a roll on a play. Im pulling for all you Laker backers tonight.

That's fine I applaud you. That's the difference though, you a "long-term" "lifetime" gambler. I'm not. I would never rely on gambling to make my living etc. Nor would I ever allow myself to wager enough $ to build a bankroll as high as you're speaking of.

I do this shit for fun and hope to make some money while at it.

Oh yeah, holla to my playas up in the 5% category with me

For as many last-second game winners as Kobe has hit, I'm not sure I would assume that. There can be a big difference between -1 and -2 in Laker games.

Just sayin'.

ohhh baby!!! keeeeep it going muufuka

KiDBaZkiT · 03-12-10, 07:46 PM

Where does it say he is throwing 50u on LA? In one thread laker said he had a 1.5k on them, his Saints 50u play was for 5 grand. So I would assume 1.5 k is 15u not 50.

LB put 50X cuz he thinks the Lakers are gonna win by 2? My guess is that LB thinks the Lakers win by DD. -2 is safe my friend.

t-wizzle · 03-12-10, 07:47 PM

It was originally 15x but he bumped it up to 50x later last night.

He originally played 15u and later added 35 more for a total of 50u.

For the 8:00 games I think knicks might be a good play

I am Happy · 03-12-10, 07:49 PM

Ralphie1412 · 03-12-10, 07:50 PM

I feel like that number is still too generous. I was always told it was about 1 in 200 that succeeds over the long term in sports betting to the degree that they can live off of it. Either way, it's a high bar to get over...

wow, that's pretty ballsy play LB

chrislau86 · 03-12-10, 08:23 PM

ballaholic · 03-12-10, 08:24 PM

buying that half point on a 50x bet is gonna be expensive, but I gotta do it

I would never, ever buy any points on any game. (Buying off the 2.5, 3 and 3.5 in the NFL is the only exception--and I've never done that.)

You give up much, much more in vig than you gain in equity.

you think I wager for a living?

I am a business owner of a business that has 151 employees and have been for 26 years. I wager as a side hobby that just happens to be profitable.

its like a free atm machine when I want to access cash without the better half knowing. you know, when they know you have excess cash, they think they are entitled to spend it on shopping sprees for overpriced designer crap they dont need. Ive ridden in that rodeo a few to many times.

go Lakers!

Really? whats better? winning at -120 buying the half point, or losing at -105 buying no point and losing by one? I rarely ever buy any points but in this case ill take the juice and not take the chance.
