    Vegas Dave: "Behind the Music"
    About to make a two-part video, just some stuff about me so those of you that care can get to know me a bit better, and my take on Nicky's thoughts and what not. Coming soon to a forum near you...

    EDIT:

    Part 1:

    Where I got the nickname, why I do the videos and newsletters, among other boring facts about me.



    Part 2:

    Why I don't bet my own games, the big difference between me and Nicky, and why I love capping.

                          This guy looks like a fukkin killer now, I remember when he 1st started he was calm and not tense looking. You see gambling is wearing this kid down, he looks like now if you say something wrong to him he would come after you like a fukkin wildman, I studied his eyes and observed this.

                                Go search and read old threads about Sick Gambler at the prescription. See how people talk and respond to him.

                                Sick Gambler telling people you cant win at gambling is like a alcoholic telling you not to ever have a drink.

                                He has a lot of people fooled here thanks to JJ.

                                Like I said just go do a search.

                                  Dave, what is with the school boy crush on JLH??

                                  She has a nice pair of fun bags and all, but if I was fukking her I'd put a pillow over face so wouldn't have to look at her.

                                    Behind The Music? what no herion addicitions, come on tell how you blew all your money on whores and coke on Sunset strip and tryed to kill yourself.
                                    Than while in a drug induced coma God spoke to you and said ,"you shall go forth and become an aspiring handicapper. I anoint you VegasDave, to help all the degenerate gamblers of the world break the cursed 52 percential. You my son, are the chosen one."


                                    seriously though GL with your goals of becoming a broadcaster. I would much rather listen to you on CBS than Vern (the sperm) Lundquist.
                                    But are you willing to do the "Soldja Boy" on national TV in front of millions of viewers? that is the question my friend.

                                        Vegas Jen,

                                        Go get some student loans. If you cannot afford USC transfer to a smaller college.

                                        Do what you have to do....but get an education.

                                        If you want it bad enough it can happen.

                                          V.D. you're getting respect.

                                          Nobody is insulting you.

                                          Think about it, they only boo and heckle Kobe because he is great, right?

                                          Nobody boos and heckles Chris Mihm, who cares about him?

                                          V.D. is one of a kind.

                                          I just wish you'd put some money in a book and actually bet your picks guy.

                                          Even $10 a game. Think about it.

                                              OK, just watched video.

                                              Dave send out demos to radio stations all over North America.

                                              If you only work 16 hours a week, and are not in school, why not get a 2nd job???????

                                                Nice videos.

                                                A couple things:

                                                1) to borrow from donjuan: "there are no right sides, only a right price" . Learn this.

                                                2) You can turn a tiny ($200) bankroll into a decent sized one fairly easily. Try SIA or playing poker.

                                                3) Many people win consistently at this. It's not impossible. But, the NFL is the hardest. Unless you have good injury info, and great models and work exceptionally hard at it, I'd stick to College -- or better yet try a smaller market.

                                                  Personally I think the NFL is more true to form than NCAAFB.

                                                  NFL teasers have been golden for years.

                                                    So shouldn't the lines/odds reflect that?

                                                      They have, although probably not the subsets you've been using.

                                                        vegas dave, you might be one of the nicest guys i have ever seen on these boards.. vegas dave, you're a straight arrow and not a bragger. you actually are honest and you admit to not betting and having no money.. that's honest as hell.. you never see this here anywhere. good job, kiddo.. and i can see you one day working at ESPN radio, cause you have the voice, personality, the love for it, and especially the knowledge.. never met a guy that knows his sports like you.


                                                        you're a great kid.. you even apologize to posters who were mad at you, even though you did nothing.., you call people sir. you make long vids every week. you're always polite. you're a good sport, you dont fight with anyone ever.


                                                        vegas dave, the way you bet, you have 0 chance of beating gambling.. vegas dave, you have to beat the closing lines consistently.. if you can do this, then you have a chance.. but betting like the way you do where you get the real prices, you have 0 chance. vegas dave, even when you start working, continue to bet for fun, nothing wrong with betting for the amusement. vegas dave, dont start putting your hard earned money in this.. IT WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE.. money is tough nowadays and i dont want to see you work hard for it and then lose it.. what you're doing now is great.. keep it up, buddy..

                                                        but don't ever expect to hit 53% consistently, cause it will never happen.. IMPOSSIBLE.. and even at 53%, you break just about even.. vegas dave, you will end up so so close to 50%, no matter how much you know.. that's just how it is..vegas dave, this game is unbeatable.. i've met 7,000 vegas daves in my lifetime with same knowledge, same attitude, same dream.. and all lost it all.. not one made any money.

                                                        keep doing what you're doing buddy.. Your pal, Nicky..

                                                                      If you want it bad enough it can happen.
                                                                      I'm in the process now. The main reason I didn't go back (other than the money) was because I didn't know what I wanted to get a degree in. I like broadcast journalism, but I wanted to get a more useful degree because you don't really need a degree to be a broadcaster. I've been searching for the right major and I finally found it, so I'm in the process of evaluating transfer options and what not. I agree with you, nowadays you definitely need a degree out there.

                                                                      Originally posted by fiveteamer

                                                                      If you only work 16 hours a week, and are not in school, why not get a 2nd job???????

                                                                      As for sending out my demos, I will eventually. Right now my girlfriend, my brother, and my best friend are in Los Angeles and at this stage in my life I'm not ready to leave them all behind yet. There will always be shitty small market radio stations out there; as soon as I'm ready, I'll definitely start sending tapes out.
