My local lets me buy half points with NHL totals...

SCRAGGS · 10-13-09, 03:59 PM

explain, give me an example of a bet.

Matt Rain · 10-13-09, 04:00 PM

Flat price per half-goal? Do give an example.

themajormt · 10-13-09, 04:00 PM

Tonights Sabres game is over/under 5.5 with normal -110

He will let me buy to Under 6 or over 5 for -120

themajormt · 10-13-09, 04:01 PM

He will only let you buy it if there is a half involved though, so if its 5, I cant do anything....

Jesus ****, I want your local.

You wanna bet the over 5 all day long btw, unless he uses numbers that are way off market prices. You should probably use a mix of overs and unders to draw less attention, but he's going to stop offering this very quickly anyway. Might as well go pedal to the metal right away.

themajormt · 10-13-09, 04:04 PM

He won't let me middle though either Matty...

But this is obviously not like any others so I want to take advantage of it... I noticed he didnt say anything last year, because my one buddy who also goes through him buys a half point in football every time there is a half involved, regardless of the numbers. And my local loves it because he is giving up so much more vig. So when I do it with hockey, it like doesnt even click with him. He doesnt have many hockey bettors, just home team guys...

themajormt · 10-13-09, 04:04 PM

FIGURES! I just took under 6 -120!

durito · 10-13-09, 04:04 PM

are you ****ing kidding me?

pinny now offers drop downs on nhl totals, you can use that or the half point calc.

they have over 5 at -287 under 6 -118

themajormt · 10-13-09, 04:07 PM

Wow so Matt was spot on when he said I want to be taking the over 5 all day huh Durito??

I think I am only going to do this with 2 games a day, and there has to be a football or NBA game going also so it doesnt stand out...

Would like to stay under the radar....

LT Profits · 10-13-09, 04:09 PM

You can't go wrong either way in the long run with Over 5 or Under 6 at -120.

Nicky Santoro · 10-13-09, 04:09 PM

there used to be a local here in montreal who did this, but charged 20 cents instead for the half goal.

he ended up lasting 3 months before he went broke and stiffed alot of people.. including me.. for some reason, i wasn't that mad..it was fully expected.

LT Profits · 10-13-09, 04:10 PM

Hold the phone, I was assuming fair line of 5.5 -110

Based on Pinny's current 5.5 o18, Over 5 -120 is highway robbery

durito · 10-13-09, 04:10 PM

he's got to notice pretty quickly that he's offering something at -120 that should be -250

themajormt · 10-13-09, 04:11 PM

For him or me LT???

I already put in under 6, I cant call back and change it... fukk

over 5 is WAY better (assuming a -110/-110)

smitch124 · 10-13-09, 04:12 PM

1/2 point calc at 5.5 -110/-110 is -237.9 (o5)/-139.8(u6)

themajormt · 10-13-09, 04:14 PM

Durito, he has approx 100 bettors, and maybe 5 life time winners... I have seen his books... He uses scoresandodds for lines, offers props for the SB and thats it. He is nothing special, only takes 3 team parlays and the normal 2 team tease at -120...

I honestly dont think he will pick up on this... I onyl bet up to $500 with him, so I only put $300 on the game tonight, I am going to look at this a little more and see what I can do. Like I said, I dont want to get crazy, and I need other action thrown in so he doesnt focus on that...

yisman · 10-13-09, 04:15 PM

You could make a killing like this. He'd probably put a stop to it pretty quickly.

Take over 5 (-120) on the 5.5 -110/-110 lines.

themajormt · 10-13-09, 04:15 PM

OK guys I am off to the game... sitting row 1 tonight at the blue line... Hopefully this under hits...

You are the most fortunate man on the planet. Be thankful for this.

donjuan · 10-13-09, 05:30 PM

****ing hell. I need to find a dumb local. Might be my mission at the bars for the next few weeks.

themajormt · 10-14-09, 08:44 AM

KB, did you read The Secret?? Those are some words from someone who has read it!

Well that was a nice $360 lesson... Always buy to over 5 and not under 6!

rookie · 10-14-09, 10:44 AM

In case of 6.5, buy under 7 and not over 6...probability of odd totals is lot more than even.

P.S. When will you update your sugar momma thread ?

I have not read it.

As for the "lesson", consider it a short term loss for a long term gain. After donating $360, he'll let you string together a lot more wins than he would have if you never lost that game. It's always about the long con.

The Bishop · 10-24-09, 08:25 PM

Just found this thread. Local still taking these? How are you running so far?

MonkeyF0cker · 10-24-09, 08:32 PM

Holy fuk. That's too easy.

He actually is a smart Bookmaker, if you have 100 clients 5 that win is a little hight actually if it is based on yearly totals.

I do not think anyone other than pinny offers this.
