I Sure Wish I Bet More Than I Did On This One!!

[Harry N. Lloyd]

Harry what book did you bet it at?

I've been betting with the same local for decades. Most of the years it was strictly via phone. A few years back he updated the operation and added an online component. Some thing called YourBook keeps the online record. We settle up with each other when I'm either up or down a pre-negotiated amount.

I've also bet some over the years with the Bookmakers, etc. I'm not a big fan of sending money upfront to Costa Rica or some such place, then trusting that they'll ever send it back to you when you win. The only online book I ever really trusted was Pinnacle, but when they shut off US bettors I just went back fully to my local. The upside is trust, the downside is I can't really shop around for numbers.

Harry, sounds like you’re in good predicament. Personally I think the patriots will win and I’ll be wagering on them. I think you’d be wise to hedge big. Now, my question is do you have NBA winners for us?

Fair enough. The reason I ask is that I shopped for Rams futures (prior to the FA signings and trades) at about 10 different books and never got better than +2000. The +2500 number is the best I have seen.

Are you gonna let it ride?

I think "all-in" in this context just means Action, i.e., there are no stipulations that would result in a refund.

I thought this was a Festoon poker strategy bet
