    Excepts from my chats today with a guy from a major book on how the books were doing

    5:40 PM Eastern:

    "this is the worst day we've had in 6 months"
    "but to put it in perspective ... after today we're about flat for the week starting Monday"


    6:30 PM Eastern:

    "damn ... it is just getting worse and worse"
    "our only chance at this point is if Norfolk state can somehow pull it off"
    "go Norfolk "
    "strong need"
    "we'll be even on the day if they win SU"


    7:00 PM Eastern:

    "we had a customer take Missouri -10905 risking $50k to win $458.81"

    $50,000 to win $458?? Come on I don't think someone in their right mind would really do this right? Does someone that can afford to bet $50,000 really need to win $458?

    that was my follow up question - is 50 a regular bet size for that guy?

    he's not lying to me, we were just chatting over IM, I am sure they really took that bet

    Wow that really might be the dumbest bet I have ever heard someone has made. Even if it won I'd say the same thing. How can someone that has that much money risk to win peanuts? I would never ever even add them to any money line peanuts parlay I would make.

    lol that would be funny as shit. I don't think any book would book this bet. If some where did I sure as hell know they would never pay it.

    this is the most retarded thing I have heard in a very long time.... as mentioned, who in their right mind would lay that kind of money to win chicken feed? and which book wouldn't love this bet all day, every day?

    No way this bet was real.

    Anyone who was dumb enough to do it would have lost all his money the first year he started gambling.

    I don't want to say what book, not that it's a big deal, just don't want to say without permission, and I didn't ask for permission, but it's a real book


    anyway, more chats:

    7:45 PM Eastern:

    "Let me hear you say, "Go Lehigh Go Lehigh Go Lehigh Go!"
    (Me): you guys have a lot on duke??
    "yes"


    8 PM Eastern:


    "Thank God we have Soccer, props, and tennis or else we'd be down on the day"
    (me) so you are significantly down on ncaa today?
    "no we're down just a little after the Missouri gift"
    (me) so what was that 50k guy's deal?? is that a normal bet size for him??
    "her"
    "and yes"

    (me) it's a woman??
    "yes"
    "she bets big favorites"

    (me) must be a beard right?? for billy or someone?
    "don't know"
    "no definitely not billy"

    (me) wow, ok, so 50 then is not a huge deal, still it's a strange bet
    (me) you think she capped a small edge at -10546? she thinks the line should've been in the -11000s??
    "no I think she's a gambler"

    This is far fetched to some of you guys?
    There's morons on this site that post threads about "printing money" to make like $5 on huge favs throughout the year.

    Seems to vary greatly.

    I refuse to believe someone would bet 50,000 on something at -11000 when -4500 could have been had elsewhere.

    a lot of ppl with shady connections to the illuminati who make hundreds of thousands a day by insider trading on wall st might want to watch a game with that invincible feeling of taking a 21 pt favorite at the ml

    that 50k they probably smile about as they buy and trade humans prison numbers at the st

    I would think if this was true they wouldn't bother taking them on the ML and would just take them minus the points. Why would they even care to try and win 500 bucks? lol
