    Good Luck Guy...

    These guys are all just bitter...

    Out of one side of there mouth they say: "the books are never wrong" "its factored into the line" "you can't beat the book"

    Then they proceed to post plays...

    You can find edges if you know what to look for, and stay disciplined... Sounds like you have way more self-control than the average poster here.

    Robmpink, that was the dumbest bait ever. But I'll respond. Go bait brahma bull. He enjoys a little leg humping. And change that avatar, it's even gayer than Brahma's.

    With an Avatar like that, I can't believe you never even seen the movie, "The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai accross the 8th Dimension" That's where that line came from. "Laugh while you can monkeyboys"

    We're all monkeyboys you dumbass. At least if you believe in Evolution. If you say you believe in Creationism I refuse to believe you because that avatar is gayer than Elton John hitting on George Michael at a Liberace memorial.

    Actually JJ, my normal play is a parlay. Which I have going right now. But I saw a chance to get some free money and I took it.

    I had actually lost a parlay bet I liked on Oregon not hitting the over ($5 bet to win $1,250) and I wanted my money back. So I made this bet. Not chasing really. I just saw an opportunity for some free money so I can freeroll another $5 parlay (same parlay just minus Oregon of course). Call it a mulligan if you will. Sure there was some remote chance I would lose it. But as long as I make a bet that has +value I can handle a loss. I wouldn't like it but it's ok because the long run is in my favor.

    I don't expect you all to understand. I go with what works for me. All you guys bet big and you win big and that's great, I wan't to be in your league (minus the going broke part and the selling of my grandmother's false teeth to make a bet). And this is the way I'm going to get there. But get there I will (unless of course I die for some reason before that happens).

    I've got a good job that pays well. Safe bets and slow growth work for me cuz I don't need to live off it. But I would love to be able too.

    This is kind of funny really. I thought you all would get a good laugh and you are but it's kind of morphing into "a what type of species of sports bettor is this?" Kind like, "is Pluto really a planet?" Like I'm some puzzle you are trying to figure out. "He doesn't sound like an idiot, but why is he betting like one?" And make no mistake. I am betting like an idiot in your eyes (and sometimes even in mine).

    Since I rarely/never bet point spreads (unless teased), I need to get value where I can find it. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Don't get greedy just take what they give you.

    Well, good night boys. Heading to bed, got an early day tomorrow. Kid has a travel ball tournament this weekend so I most likely won't be logging in until Monday.

    Good luck to all this weekend (except those whose bets conflict with mine).

    Would of been funnier if you said you bet $10 to win 87 cents.

    Just found this one in my posting history. Gave me a good laugh. Ah, the good old days.

    Been awhile since I was betting this small. But will be in the neighborhood again this year. Gonna be another long slow climb. Can't wait. Bring on football season!

    How did that parlay turn out that year? Do you still be heavy favorites? Boise State won the game 57-7 for those curious. Never in question. The only problem is if you lose, you have to win 12 times just to break even. Tough to do... But I enjoyed the thread and find your philosophy interesting and your strategy viable.

    Actually, those big parlays were just for fun bets and I am pretty sure that one lost. Taking a stab with some house money. Freerolling so to speak.

    as for your 2nd question: no reason not to.

    How did it work out for you last year? Seems like there were big upsets all the time last year... What about over the last five years?
