Curious Season Thread

[curious]

curious - listen man (and dont call me a *crackhead* ).....a 70% win rate can be deceiving (not a knock on you) and i see that you also make other plays - but throwing out that "70%" win rate is only going to entice novice bettors to tail you. if you dont have the bankroll (which many people dont) you're style will get people buried when they cant reload. you know what you're doing and your style works for you im sure, but stop mentioning %'s when you play moneylines.

keep track via M&M's...lol

btw....ever here from TBlueEyes anymore? hope shes doing ok...

Me, call someone crackhead? Oh, if I could find my feeling, it would be hurt.

You are correct, if someone tails me and they have a small bankroll and we have a bad run, they are going to be out of $$.

When we ran this Quarter and Halves strategy before we had a lot of followers and a lot of happy campers.

I haven't seen TBlueEyes in a long time. I heard that she went to one of the other forums, I forget the name of it, a competitor of SBR.

You tail someone on their picks because you choose to.. Knowin Curious has alot of picks on any given day, and YOU feel you have to bet all the same picks plus yours.. Your fault if you lose you bankroll IMO. Just sayin..

[pattymayo]

DSI follow up.

Just logged in to my account to see if ML were posted for NBA qtrs. They are NOT so I guess they don't offer them.

Greek and 5dimes offer ML for 1st qtr only as of this posting. 2nd, 3rd and 4th qtrs were line based only.

I think they change that when the previous qtr ends. Let's see. Let us know. Thanks.

DSI (Diamond) only has in-play quarter lines on the nationally televised games, like the two TNT games tonight. But there are only spread lines and NO MONEYLINES. So that only helps us on a small number of plays, the dogs on national TV

Hope this helps

[Salmon Steak]

I heard betus stiffs winners. I would not want to risk playing there. GL guys

[pattymayo]

took Orlando 1Q and 1H thanks to you

took San -2 2H

[BoagRettor]

Took Bucks 4Q PK -110 for 1 unit (The Greek)

[BoagRettor]

Took Bucks 4Q PK -110 for 1 unit (The Greek)

Easy money, Kings are by far the worst 4Q team in the league (perhaps the history of the league)!

[texhooper]

this is the song I was talking about Sex (I'm A) done best by Lovage but the version by them is hard to find.

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nilQwU5Cw7U

For some reason they mislabeled the songs on the album. HUH???

This song is labeled as Elsie but it is actually Sex (I'm A)

i'm not huge into new wave but the original by berlin...you really don't think that's far superior to the remakes? i think it's a pretty classic song that can't be outdone. but this isn't necessarily my area of expertise.

[demens]

Lovage? Is that the Prince Paul and Dan the Automator Lovage?

[pattymayo]

Man had a good night using your bankroll and quarters/half strategies
Thanks look forward to the future :$

[eddie0vedder]

hey curious, its too early to tell but ive been looking into alot of different things from your info and you just might be my hero Have any books been banning you or limiting you to tiny bets as a result of your winning?

[curious]

NO, I spread the love around. I've never been banned or had the allowable bet size lowered.

Berlin is awful. I love this song, Lovage does it best. Then Zombie Girl, then Peaches.

[curious]

I can see that this is going to be one of those threads where there is one pick for every five pages of posts. LOL

Here are tonight's picks, posted at least 10 times over the previous 30 or 40 pages.

We have been fooling around so much today's picks are 2 or 3 pages back. Here they are so you can actually find them.

San Antonio +2 1/2 2.2 units to win 2 units Lost -2.2
San Antonio +125 ML 1 unit to win 1.25 unit Lost -1

Milwaukee -1 3.3 units to win 3 units Win +3

All Q and H plays risking 1 unit on + odds, risking to win 1 unit on - odds.

3Q

[curious]

Lovage? Is that the Prince Paul and Dan the Automator Lovage?

Yes. I use Rhapsody and they used to have their great album on Rhapsody but they changed it to purchase only. Shame.

Try Grooveshark if you just wanna listen on a comp.

I'm sure you probably know, but if you like them, they collaborated on another group, Handsomeboy Modeling school.

Play size for above list. This is for all lays, Game, Half, and Quarter. On dogs risking 1.1 units (assuming you get -110). On favs, risking to win 1 unit.

[curious]

Quarter strategy

You will notice that some Quarters I pick a team. In other Quarters I say "Play the loser of the X Quarter".

If I picked a team the bet size is 1.1 units on dogs (take the points) and enough to win 1 unit on favs (take the money line).

NOW, this is important, if you are playing a Quarter play where I say "take the loser of the previous Q" and that team loses, the next play is double the previous play. Let's say that Boston loses the 1Q and you bet them in the 2Q and they lose. Your next play on Boston will be 2X the bet size in the 2Q to win the 3Q. If Boston loses the 2Q and the 3Q then the 4Q bet size will be 2X the 3Q bet size or 4X the 2Q play.

If you don't have a bankroll to support this then just play the dogs that I pick in the Qs and take the points.

If you don't have the stomach to do it this way then you can do 1X, 1X, 3X or 1X, 1X, 2X, we call this the grimalkin play (look up synonyms for grimalkin LOL). I much prefer the safer 1X, 2X, 4X. LOL

[curious]

Correction

"Games will have 1 play only from now on, ML on favs, + the points for dogs."

should say

"Games bet size will be 1 unit from now on, risk enough on the ML to win 1 unit on favs, risking 1.1 unit to win 1 unit and taking the points on dogs".

[curious]

Please vote on these versions of Sex (I'm A)

Okay, so I say that Berlin sucks. I have several versions of the song Sex (I'm A), tell me which is best.

Berlin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30wk9...eature=related
(UGH, I want to die after listening to this version)

Lovage http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4joDAJQA30
(LOVE IT)

Peaches http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFImQ...eature=related

Zombie Girl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nilQw...eature=related

My vote is for the Zombie Girl version. what say you?

[eddie0vedder]

do you smoke much crack?

[balman]

another good night.. win with bucks 2Us; loss with spurs 2.2Us, win with miami 1U, win kings Q1 0.5U and steelers Q3 2Us

so looks like Bookmaker wont work for NBA Quarter bets they dont give ML and the juice is -115...

[curious]

do you smoke much crack?

NOOOOO, I am just naturally crazy. If I used drugs I would be on the rooftop howling at the moon, in the daytime. I don't drink or do drugs Never did drugs, don't even like to take aspirin. Well, I used to drink too much until I got acute pancreatitis in 1984, no more drinking for me. Hmmm, 1984, I wonder if there is a connection.

Magic didn't get lucky it was an easy win against a tired team that didn't have much motivation going in. Ship me 300 if you get a chance or you can keep them and i'll let you go double or nothing on a christmas day game

Lakers -140 ML 1.4 to win 1

All of these are risking 1 on dogs, to win 1 on favs. Note, some of the Q plays use a chase until they win. IF a 2Q play loses and it is listed for the 3Q, bet the 3Q 2x the 2Q, if the 4Q loses then bet the 4Q 2x the 3Q (which will be 4x the 2Q).
