Jesus, this is like the village idiot being up in court and hiring Corky as his lawyer.

Nicky is possibly the sharpest guy to use the internet. Monkey might not think so but we know the truth OTW. No need to keep reiterating it.

jjgold · 05-13-09, 05:03 AM

Jealousy is sad

jjgold · 05-13-09, 09:53 AM

What a player Nicky is

A fukkin high roller

Nicky Santoro · 05-13-09, 09:59 AM

onner, i appreciate the nice words, but what are you trying to do, have more people hate my guts.

. onner, it's enough 14 people hate nicky, now you want that number to turn to 49.. onner, there is at least 11 people i can name here that wouldn't mind seeing your old pal nicky get offed.. this thread won't help.

but boys, as i mentioned in another thread, i dont always win like this, i only wish.. i used to scalp and middle a lot back in the days, so i'd beat one book like CRIS badly for 103k, but would lose to other books 30k here, 40k there, 20k here. i just happened to hammer CRIS, that's the way it worked out..

I really never wanted this to leak out, as i told jj as soon as he mentioned the 84k that i did not think it was a good idea to mention this here. I never mention money here cause people's way of thinking changes.. money is the root of all evil.. it fukks up everything.. but like i said, i do lose in alot of places too.. i only wish i can win 103k at every book..

too bad it don't work that way..

AMBlai01 · 05-13-09, 10:01 AM

Stop stealing my mediating ideas. THIEF!!!

Brock Landers · 05-13-09, 10:02 AM

nicky, you mention "the old days", what changed that you can't do this today?? Is it that Neteller is gone? I would have thought for NON US players, you would be able to do everything the same as you used to..

without all the US square money flooding in, the books are far less tolerant of winning players

Brock Landers · 05-13-09, 10:06 AM

nicky, can you explain the art of the "scalp" as you mentioned it.

As i understand its you taking BOTH sides of the game, each at a different book. Can you give me a game and examples of the lines you scalped on that particular game, and where you stood to make your profit. It seems like, as you said, the profitable side happened to be Cris most of the time..

Nicky Santoro · 05-13-09, 10:12 AM

pucker, i think he is talking about all college sports.. i cant name 1 college player of any sport.

brocker, NETeller did help alot... i miss those days.. but also, what really helped was those new books that came along every week where they'd offer 30% cash bonus and a 2x rollover plus their lines were unreal. when games were -150/+140 at pinny, they had -170/+160, so i'd lay -150 at pinny and take back +160 at the new book, and i'd do this on almost every game... that's what a scalp was.. it was risk free money..

now these books hardly exist and no neteller either and bonuses are not what they used to be..

it is now not as easy to make money gambling like it once was 5 yrs ago.. you can still make $$, but it really is a grind.. back then, it was a cake walk.. not the case anymore..

AgainstAllOdds · 05-13-09, 10:19 AM

I dont say this too often but Congrats Nicky.

You made it pal.

Forever Your Pal,

Brock Landers · 05-13-09, 10:24 AM

nicky, what about the classic setup you showed me between the greek and matchbook? It seems to be able the same thing.

White Sox are +154 at matchbook and Cleveland is -156, at the greek White sox are +145 and Cleveland is -165

Doesn't a scalp exist there?

MonkeyF0cker · 05-13-09, 10:28 AM

You can also arb a million different ways. You can risk part or all of the difference on a certain side or split it evenly and guarantee a profit on both sides. The opportunities to arb aren't nearly as prevalent any longer. There used to be numbers just sitting out there that allowed you to scalp. Now, you almost always have to predict where the market moves in order to do so as the difference in available numbers rarely exceeds the juice. That is why probability models are nearly crucial these days, unless you want to grind it out and chip away at off books with a few cents advantage here and there.

A scalp only exists if the dog is higher than the favorite. Ex.

White Sox +154
Indians -150

LOL. Some professional, huh?

MonkeyF0cker · 05-13-09, 10:34 AM

That said, unless your arb has edge as well, you should generally keep the best number and avoid scalping.

Nicky Santoro · 05-13-09, 10:34 AM

brock landers is a professional gambler

don't listen to anyone brocker.. you think anyone of these guys here would have known that CIN game woudl go over 9.5, 2.5 weeks ago? NO WAY.. but you knew... i still don't know how you knew that game would go over 9.5 in CIN a few weeks ago.
