    DMAVS......didn't you try this last year and lost a 1000 point bet to me? And I let you settle for 75 points?

    I'm just busting your chops...

    Good luck this year! I hope you win.

    You would have to look back, I don't care about what happened in the past. Just want to see how I do now.. People can follow if they want.

    An early prediction for you.

    Sir Edmund Burke (1729-1797) said this... "Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it."

    Last year DMAVS bet me 1K points that he could hit 70%.

    By the time he folded he was around 52%.

    I let him settle his bet with me for 75 points.

    So did your book let you update the lines you played when they changed?

    Don't all books?

    I played the Lakers -3 when it opened, and then come game time, the book allowed me to null that bet and take the +3 instead.

    I was 1-0.

    +200 when doing 1 unit per play is almost impossible. I am losing 1 for every lose and gaining .90 for a win

    Huh?

    I think he was offering you +200 to hit 65%.

    Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that is what he was trying to bet you.

    I just got a call from three of my books, they re-graded all my wagers where I was on the wrong side of line movement, and decided to pay me.

    This is normal for a book, right?

    Here's a crazy idea....How about using the lines you ACTUALLY GET?

    Is that so hard to ask?

    I know that no one would have said anything about it if I would have lost with the new lines, and everyone knows that's true

    If it will just make everyone happy my record is 2-1 +.80 units.

    And I will take the bet with 60% if you agree to that betting 500 to win 1000 points. Picking 3 a day when possible in nba games

    Just wait. He did this last year, but last year he was yapping about hitting 70%.

    This year he began with a prediction of 65%, and as you can see, he re-adjusted that to 60%.



    I don't understand this. I really don't. These kids have no clue how difficult anything north of 60% is, and they keep making these threads. Oh well, it does entertain us, doesn't it?

    I'd such a degenerate that I thought 1729-1797 was Edmund Burke's lifetime record.

    its the national bingo association you need to be very very selective to be consistent winner in this league.

    Your right 1-2. Just know that no one would have said anything if I would have lost the changes instead of won them. No one even said anything until the scores were determined. Everyone just finds a way to think they are better than anyone else
