If that asshole is balancing his action right, I don't know why the hell he's cutting you off. If I was you're bookie, I woulda been all like, "Yeah I can't take that kinda action for you right now, BUT I have X team at X odds here" A little salesmanship goes a long way...

Books have been getting beat 4 weeks straight now. Looking at lines now, this is the week they come back.

Yea I've only been with him for 4 weeks now.. I went +$700.. -$425.. +$1350 and +$880 this week.. I'm pretty sure he's a high"er" stake gambler that was trying to run his own book to become the house in some respect.. but clearly didn't have the backing to get run over that many weeks in a row.. apparently %80 of his bettor's were doing as well or better than me.. so he reeled in all the slack tonight and cut us offf.. paid of course.. but cut-off

I'm soooo uncertain about tonight... feel like it's a toss up game... the obv lean is on CAR cuz they've only "barely" lost most of their losses this year.. Phi o-line is in shambles.. rookie QB starting.. Mccoy out.. and philly @home doesn't mean much at this point as they boo them more than anything... so yea.. on CAR-3.. but lost confidence after pounding GB and the under last night and getting Effed.. was up $2500 on the week going into GB last night.. and shit the epic bed by going out of my system on a "too rich to lose" spree pounding GB + the under in more ways than one..

so... CAR-3.. lack of confidence is probably last night chiming in.. after writing all this.. I feel like CAR is a GOOD pick

good call on the balancing.. I've not been with a book who does that.. but it's smart/obvious tactic.. need to find a legit local who won't go out of business on account of 4-5 bad weeks.. B365 is nice.. but I like to play on credit

I play smarter..

Always a good looking prop.. rarely hits.. but with tonight being such a garbage match-up... good be just the night

good enough for 1 unit imo

I usually only do 1/2 and 1/4 unit bets on props unless I absolutely love it. gl

rainman416 · 11-26-12, 08:35 PM

half unit was my first play... added one more when I decided to bump the side pick down.. and compensate on the prop.. just feels right tonight.. we'll see.

Good luck Frisco...

PS - saw you post 4 NCAAF picks on here fri night to help some guy out who got smoked in NBA.. decided to tail them all cuz I don't know much about NCAAF hit 3/4 and went + on the day..

Thanks Frisco
