My name is Thomas, from Las Vegas only 18 so I bet online, haven't had much success yet, but now I am starting to settle in. I work at Subway! So you know the Units will be small, I'm not some guy lying about betting 500 dollars a game, I would never do that, if their is ever any disbelief i will post screenshots! I only play underdogs on the moneyline, and favorites on the moneyline only juice under 150!

Tuesday November 16th!

Ohio State+135 ML on DiamondSportsbook
Reasoning, after a huge blowout win in the first game, I just feel like they have at least a 65 percent chance of winning, and with +135 odds...gotta pull the trigger!

50 to win 67.50

Butler +110 M/L
Reasoning, I really like Butler and the way they play. I really think this is a big game for them, and I see them winning by 5-8 points.
50 to win 55

Last one of the day

Best play in my eyes is
Winthrop -135 M/L

67.50 to win 50

Really it comes down to knowledge, I don't see any way I don't start 3-0!

Welcome aboard. Good luck! Thanks for posting. I'm tailing you.

Good luck man, I can relate. I jumped on these forums at a young age and had sportsbook accounts on my 18th birthday lol. BOL workin your way up.

tshafer · 11-16-10, 04:24 PM

Disagree with you on Ohio St., but hey 2-1 aint so bad.

tshafer · 11-16-10, 05:00 PM

I'm thinking Ohio State wins, but we may disagree thats the great thing about a forum!

At least one of us will be a winner. haha. No worries, should be a great game regardless that comes down to the final minute.

Vesuvius · 11-16-10, 05:24 PM

I like each of these plays. Not saying I will play though. Good luck!

ProLine S-A · 11-16-10, 05:25 PM

Hey Thomas,

I just saw your picks; Ohio State and Butler are two of my selections as well (spreads, not ML). I just wanted to wish you the best of luck on a successful and prosperous season!

DennisT · 11-16-10, 05:45 PM

I agree.

Florida's defense was weak, though. Donovan gets the blame in my book. Didn't adjust, either. Very weak. OSU definitely did all they could to successfully exploit it, though. Craft looks like a solid freshman PG.

tshafer · 11-17-10, 03:24 AM

Okay not a great day, but honestly not all days are great! So far on the year 1-2 overall!
Tomorrow I will try and do better, I really liked my Winthrop Pick, however it lost! Lets get them tomorrow! Continue to follow I will give out points just for the participation!

bdavies26 · 11-17-10, 10:52 AM

GL man, I'm younger too (20) but it's fun, right?

ProLine S-A · 11-17-10, 06:33 PM

It's tough in the early going of the season. I'm still seeing the trends for most of the teams and accumulating all the info to make optimal selections. But homerbush was right, money management is the key and you have it. Kudos.

Hey tshafer - We don't want your points. I want your solid picks. Let's win some money.

jeffdane · 11-18-10, 02:35 AM

whats up thomas!! just a quick suggestion. $50 wager with a $500 bankroll playing mainly underdogs is a bit risky. u r dead on, that money management is very important, however, i would recommend the wager start at around $20 per. If u r successful playing 4% per ml dog u will be up to ur $50 per very soon. 10% of bankroll wager could deplete the bankroll too quickly. good luck kid.

i definately like ur approach and its funny i saw this post right now, because i am going to be adopting the very same approach starting tomorrow. ml dogs only.

ProLine S-A · 11-18-10, 01:28 PM

Hey Thomas,

Checked back into your thread to see how you were making out. One rough night won't kill ya; just watch your money management. If you want a good one for the day, take Colorado State +2 vs. Denver. It's one of the five selections I made for today; played it for 2 units. ML is also a possibility here as I expect Colorado State to win this one outright.

tshafer · 11-18-10, 01:40 PM

Hey I haven't left! Today I have Denver Nuggets Moneyline vs Portland in NBA, brandon roy is out! +120 is a good price, will start posting again sometime tomorrow just been busy with school and work. i just put 25 dollars Colorado State ML also!

ProLine S-A · 11-18-10, 02:34 PM

Denver is a good choice; best one of the 3 games. They won 3 of the last 4 vs. Portland, and with Roy out and news of Oden being done for the year...well, that's a lot of mental baggage to be dragging into tonight's game.

If my stat analysis is correct, the 2nd half line O/U line on Denver-Portland will probably be around 94-97. If it is, drop a small $10-15 wager on the OVER.

mart59a · 11-18-10, 05:24 PM

I like Denver as well...Good Luck kid!

Duby · 11-18-10, 05:58 PM

I'm on Denver also. Best of luck to both of us
