How is this a special line? SBR is offering the exact same line.

Because I am offering it up to 1500 point which is the max of what SBR does. Hell I will give it up to 2000 for the poster that wants to gake this bet

Dad · 01-17-12, 02:00 PM

I see. Good luck jmathes.

yisman · 01-17-12, 02:01 PM

ok, so what is the bet? Even odds? I can bet either side?

jmathes · 01-17-12, 02:02 PM

I think this bet doesnt win. Here is the line I am offering:

Dad will win his 13th bet which is Houston Rockets -7.5 (-120)

yisman · 01-17-12, 02:04 PM

right, but are we betting even odds? Or are you essentially just offering Houston -7.5 at -120?

This is great value considering he has won 12 in a row and will probably make it 13 tonight.

Evidently you don't believe that he will probably make it 13.

I do Yisman.

No even odds just offering Houston -7.5 at -120. I know the line is not that special but I am offering a max up to 1500 points which is double what SBR maxes out on the NBA. I will give the first poster up to 2000 points if they will take it.

Thought I was going to see a yes/no prop.

yisman · 01-17-12, 02:11 PM

I don't see how anyone is going to do 2000 on -120!

Why do you think this pick will lose? If you are so sure about this, I'll bet you 1500 points at EV odds and Houston Rockets -7. Why would anyone want to bet you with any juice when they can get this same deal from the sportsbook?

This is my deal, HOUSTON ROCKETS -7 (EV) 1500 points.

The line opened at -7 and I bet this line with my bookie already, that's why I want the same line. I'll take the Rockets -7 and we have to exchange points after the game is over, no exceptions.

yisman · 01-17-12, 02:20 PM

jmathes you can have spurs +6.5 -120 up to a grand

this was intended for the big timers yisman. i am willing to allow someone to bet almost 3x the maximum amount. sure theres juice but if youre sharp and confident its nothing.

ive made a good grip betting womens basketball particularly on uconn which is and always will be juiced at -120. before i was limited there i didnt care what the juice was because i knew something

it just doesn't make sense to bet a -103 at -120, that's all. why would anyone be confident anyway? To me, a streak doesn't mean the next pick is any more likely to win.

I am a "big timer" in that I bet a lot of points but only on good offers.

Dad is a winner in our hearts for so many reasons... least of which the 12 game winning streak...

dtrukk · 01-17-12, 04:09 PM

dad wins 90 points all in 4 me

TheAntFather · 01-17-12, 04:11 PM

This guy doesn't want to gamble. I wanted to make a 1500 bet with him and he doesn't answer.

yisman · 01-17-12, 04:27 PM

Pretty simple, actually.

He wants you to bet a line that's worse than the market.

You want to bet a line that's better than the market.

Therefore, the bet will not happen.

TheAntFather · 01-17-12, 04:29 PM

I figured that, he's looking for a dummy.

pjz03 · 01-17-12, 05:21 PM

i go for Dad for 78 points..go Dad for 13 win..

hels · 01-17-12, 05:24 PM

Why would anyone trust another poster to pay them when they could just bet knowing sbr will pay them. Sure you might have some credibility from the past but guess what, even the most credible have been known to scam and run before.
