No, current odds are -228 on the Yanks = 23 to win 10.

'Paid, where did you see the Yankees at -140?

You must have meant Run Line.

Nickelicious,

If you make a bet in my thread (no matter how small), I'll make an equal size bet in yours. Check out my lines please:

i want to put 13 to win 16 (Chicago Bears ML +124) matchbook.......what do ya say?

yisman · 08-30-09, 04:24 PM

Would you take action on a parlay on SNF?

I would be risking 10 points.

Shortstop · 08-30-09, 04:34 PM

Thanks Nickel, you're a good man!

Are you still accepting wagers?

I'll confirm that, newjerseydevils, though the line is +115 to +120 on SBR Live Odds. But at +120 and rounding up, the bet would still be 13 to win 16.

CONFIRMED. Good luck with the play.

I doubt it after losing 30 points, yisman, but show me what you want. My plan is to accept parlays, but each bet must be confirmed.

Yes, but I'll have to be careful with a dwindling bank. Give it a shot.

newjerseydevils · 08-30-09, 04:36 PM

aight cool its on......... thanx a lot nickelicious........

yisman · 08-30-09, 05:52 PM

Matchbook parlay: Chicago Bears +117 and over 39 (-107)

risk 10 points to win 32

Sorry, yisman, if it was any other team but the Bears, but I already have action on them and can't take the 48-point hit at this time if it comes through.

If my bank builds just a little, I would take this kind of action routinely.

azn624 · 08-30-09, 06:14 PM

thanks for the fast payment nickel, may give you some action tomorrow

CONFIRMED.

Good luck, yisman. Braves/Phillies under 9 and Bears/Denver over 39.

Any push results in no play.

Shortstop · 08-31-09, 01:05 AM

Nickel, you still accepting wagers my man?

Leverage · 08-31-09, 01:21 AM

NYY/BAL over 10
TOR/TEX over 10

25 pts?

Nickelicious · 08-31-09, 01:54 AM

Sorry guys, I gotta take a short breather after going 0-5 and losing 79 points from my bank. I will be back after building a bit.

ijustwant2bpaid · 08-31-09, 01:56 AM

im still open for business bud!

yisman · 08-31-09, 01:58 AM

turns out it just changed from one winning parlay to another. All three bets won.

Shortstop · 08-31-09, 02:01 AM

yisman, I knew all along that you were fading the picks you posted in the Best Bet Thread.

I know. I can't win for losing. The good thing is I won real money on the Bears and the Phillies under, so I can't complain too much.

I will try to build my bank again with Ijust and be back at this crazy game. The problem for Ijust and me is that bettors are beginning to take this points shit seriously, and we have some very sharp bettors here in the forum (and not enough dumbasses)!

ijustwant2bpaid · 08-31-09, 02:05 AM

agreed...

Nickelicious · 08-31-09, 02:13 AM

So whad'ya think, Ijust? Your bank took a pretty bad hit (and if you had time to thoroughly read all your threads, I told you that losing 60 or 80 points was not a bad day because you could easily lose 20-30% of your bank on a really bad day). Do you think that this forum, of all the f-in forums in the world, is the place to be any kind of bookie?

It's not like the good ol' days of a week ago, y'know? Now you have sharps invading your thread and betting some of the best plays of the day. Hell, I knew the Phillies were going under and I knew the Bears were gonna win, but I had to take those freakin' plays (wasn't so sure about the Bears over, but it hit anyway and screwed me). What's a poor bookie to do on a street corner like this one?

ijustwant2bpaid · 08-31-09, 02:17 AM

there are not that many sharps here and not big enough points rolls to stay afloat with the amount of points most are betting, we will see though, once someone gets around 300 points and bets ten points at a time if they are a sharp that could be a sustainable roll..

Nickelicious · 08-31-09, 02:21 AM

Ha, maybe my luck is just worse than yours....
