It strikes me that this is a gambling forum yet people cannot fathom the possibility that there are people out there who do this for a living. Usually, I keep my winnings private - but this was my biggest play of the Baseball season and I thought I pulled it out in the most suspenseful fashion. Hence, why I posted about it here. But regardless, for the haters:

Congrats man, you don't have to prove anything. Its hard for some people to process the idea that some people are successful at betting sports.

wtf · 06-04-09, 12:38 AM

come on, you have to understand everyone here being skeptical

but nice score!

TheApple · 06-04-09, 12:38 AM

Sick hold.

peeiempee · 06-04-09, 12:39 AM

Congrats, but don't know about you doing this for a living. If you were a professional, you would know to never bet more than 5% of your bankroll. Which means you have a 400,000 bankroll. Which is possible, but a $20,000 day would be nothing to get excited about or be the "biggest play of the baseball season." Anyways, enough with the negativity, Congrats

There are many wagers of this magnitude being played by people at this site. SBR caters to many, including the creme de la creme

I don't think people are haters, just skeptical. There is a lot of BS flying around here...

First of all, I never bet more than 3% of my bankroll on regular plays, on certain plays I will bet a certain percentage higher - which happens a couple times a month. Personally, I've only had 2 other plays of this magnitude the since the beginning of 09 - Given the fashion that the game was won in - I was unusually happy.

well a good price per pound is always a good score

wtf · 06-04-09, 01:02 AM

em, you should let everyone know that hooker was over seven feet tall

Justin7 · 06-04-09, 01:06 AM

Style,

What made you on that side?

WindyCitySports · 06-04-09, 01:09 AM

i had a g on this game and wasalready counting my losses in the 5th i just found out when i got home an hour ago that i won the bet...what a feeling..

Nicky Santoro · 06-04-09, 01:17 AM

wow, i would love to be this guy's bookie.. no way he is up money.. he lays -107 at pinny, when it closed at +103 at pinny.. he cost himself close to 600 bucks on 1 game.. Pinny moves the line 10 cents against him, even after his 20k play.

anyone that plays into bad lines like this CANNOT be up money.

if only i can be this guy's bookie. Pinny must love this guy..

paco · 06-04-09, 01:21 AM

Give the guy some credit nicky! U wouldnt say this if it was landers, 20kis a fuken awesome score, he's proly got 3 chix playing with his balls rightnow

Nicky Santoro · 06-04-09, 01:24 AM

this kid is lucky to have this kind of cash.. why is he gambling? is he nuts? if this kid was smart, he'd take all that money he has and lock it up in a guaranteed GIC.. this guy is on his way to disaster..

the kid is betting 20k on a game, 10 cents against the #.. do you have any idea what he is doing to himself. if he did this on 1 game, i can bet he does this on a lot of other games..

styler, get out now, before it's too late and you lose it all.. put that money somewhere else besides gambling..

Wow, it is amazing that I hit one bad line and you happen to be all over me and seem to have just about everything figured out. I had to be gone the entire day so I placed the bet in the early morning. I was monitoring the line movement and felt that I was acquiring it at a reasonable price. It was going to be my play and I felt (obviously) very confident in it regardless. There is no reason that I have to "prove" I am a winning player. If you think this happens to be the occurence on every play then you are dead wrong.

paco · 06-04-09, 01:27 AM

That i agree with, get out now

Fiasco · 06-04-09, 01:28 AM

Don't wanna take anything away from him but this sounds a lot like a chase play... way over normal bet...

hope I'm wrong

Nice win though, regardless...

peeiempee · 06-04-09, 01:35 AM

Not hating or anything, I just call them like I see them. He makes it a point to say he won 20Gs. He says he hardly disclose his winnings, and I agree most professionals successful at betting do not. However, checking his previous posts, he makes it a point to say he is up x amount of dollars on x amount of play on the "How did you do today" thread all the time. Funny, never do I see him posts his losses. To me it was a chase play given that he lost his previous under bet for mariners and orioles, and who knows what other bets he lost.

No offence, but any post that starts 'Don't wanna take anything away from him but'....usually means you're just about to take something away, in this case, insinuating it could have been a chase play.

I don't know whether it was a chase play or not, but given you dont know this guy how the fuk do you know what it is?

If he's worth $10M it was a pocket money play.

StyleQ · 06-04-09, 01:41 AM

Whoa - well this has blown up into something that I didnt expect it to be. First off, disclosing how much money I have profited overall and when I make money a few days are two different things. Of course I have losing days - those are inevitable.

Secondly, 20 000 is fully within a reasonable amount to bet given my bankroll. I do not need any advice / lessons from gamblers on this website such as (Nicky Santoro - who is apparently down over his lifetime) - no disrespect to you at all. If I did not have the money to sustain such a loss - I would have never bet this amount. As well, to my knowledge, the line at Pinnacle never closed at +103.

This was NOT a chase bet. My betting history page would show this is in line and consistent with all my plays. Regardless, this has turned into a thread about my credibility and not about me having an exhilirating win. I should have had foresight.

jasont · 06-04-09, 01:44 AM

Lmao @ the collection of detectives on this site. To insinuate he's chasing or is on some kind of tilt is bogus.

See, problem is styleQ you are trying to prove to yourself you are a winning player by your previous posts and constantly disclosing how much you are winning on a open forum. Real winners don't do that. Just MHO. Well, I'm done with this topic, its like arguing with someone over religion. BOL

Like I stated above - I do not have to prove to myself I am a winning player. I know that I am. If my "constantly disclosing how much I've won" you mean MAYBE 5 posts at of however many I have. Then I guess you've caught me.
