A tip for the inexperinced gambler,this is why I didn't lose on the over tonight !

[gambleballs]

If you noticed ,they never did answer the question about buying off of the 37 1/2 ?

Buying down might not be the worst idea I've heard in this thread. Buying up is another disaster

[gambleballs]

Massive lol at the "consistent game ending totals" at 56.

Yeah that was a good one. I think I came up with 14 games lined 56.5 or higher since 1997

[ABEHONEST]

You young guy's are pisspoor readers !

[20Four7]

Abe quit trying to make it like you are sharp. You got lucky. 56 is not a total to do anything with. As I said earlier 54 is a total you might want to do something with as is 37 38 etc.... A total of 56 and you think you need to buy isn't a game worth betting.

[ABEHONEST]

Thanks for the tip !
Another poor reader !

[yisman]

question about your avatar, is that really you sir?

[1st and Ten]

[yisman]

I will also bet 20 points that all of you knowitalls are under 40 years old,so how much "experience" do you boys really have ?

Sounds like another square bet.

I have a +EV bet, though.

I will bet 50 points that your IQ is under 95. And I won't need to buy any points there.

[Razz_Donkey]

Also ,why spot 7 1/2 points if you may be able to spot 7 on a football spread,or buying down to the 3 from the "killer" 3 1/2 points .

new sharp information!

[1st and Ten]

Unlikely we'll get it through his head

[yisman]

Gosh ,is your nose THAT wet ?

Okay young dumbass's,how about this one ...a book has the lowest total you have seen and it's 37 1/2 ,do you young "frankenstein" brains buy any points when you like the game over ?

Yes snotnose ,are you a bigot ?

Okay young dumbass's,how about this one ...a book has the lowest total you have seen and it's 37 1/2 ,do you young "frankenstein" brains buy any points when you like the game over ? Okay children ,I am waiting ?

You young guy's are pisspoor readers !

Thanks for the tip ! Another poor reader !

yeah, the problem is never with you, is it? It's always with everyone else.

Another arrogant buffoon who will never become a sharp gambler because he refuses to listen.

[20Four7]

Boys and girls,you may take this advice or not ,but try to buy a half point or more when you want to wager a total that is lying very close to a "consistent"game ending total !
Example ,on the NO Saints total ,it was sitting on 56 at this one book,and I did want to play a small amount on the over,so I bought 1 point and played over 55 instead of 56 .
Should have had a winner ,right ?
But the next best thing to a winner is a push .

Also ,why spot 7 1/2 points if you may be able to spot 7 on a football spread,or buying down to the 3 from the "killer" 3 1/2 points .

Abe I can ****en read..... If you line shopped and got 55 go for you. But you said YOU BOUGHT 1 point. 56 is not a total you buy off of. Now get a clue.

Sharp post yisman..... unfortunately ppl who get lucky think they are good.

Abe, the total for warriors vs nuggets is at 233.5 I like the over, should I buy off to 233?

[1st and Ten]

Abe, the total for warriors vs nuggets is at 233.5 I like the over, should I buy off to 233?

I'd buy it down to 232.5. You never know

[yisman]

Abe, the total for warriors vs nuggets is at 233.5 I like the over, should I buy off to 233?

Absolutely, because 233 is a key number ! Games land on 233 all the time ! I'd buy it down to 232.5 , that key point can win it for you . Who cares about juice ? Winning is what counts , Buy buy buy

You young snot noses probably won't because you don't have experince .

Bunch of pisspoor readers !

I'm gonna nominate this post because it is the post of the night......

[ABEHONEST]

Okay ,I am going to do two things, so you young brats can relax now ,I will resign my presid. opps, I will resign my volunteer position as "teacher of the smarter than me boys," because they are too smart to be taught,second ,I am going to bed boys ,may the Gods of Gambling look over you ....because yall will need the help !

[20Four7]

Abe I"m probably older than you and been doing this for over 25 years...... read some of the posts and get off your high horse.....

[Razz_Donkey]

Just when is untilthendoftime ?
Okay,I am confessing,I played a hunch last night because I liked NO,but also like the over just a bit too .
The total I bought at was either 55 1/2 or 56 ,anyway ,it didn't cost that much to get that extra little edge I "thought" I might need on "that" particular game .
Probably have never bought on point's on a total that high,but just had the feeling on that game.
End of story .

omg, you're killing me!

Here is another example of where Razz_Donkey's signature is very fitting.

Ohhhh , your going to get it when I find that young fella who does my real typing for me. My arthritis , you know . I know ! I'll send him a telegram ! That always works .

[darrell74]

My rule for the NFL total IS:

If you feel 1 team can get the over by themselves, take it.

Other than that, nobody has a good system for totals.

Stay away from totals.

My advice to the inexperience gambler.

[JetsMatt85]

HAHAHHA idiot bought a full point on a total set in the 50's, real smart.

[20Four7]

[hhsilver]

Abe,
I remember once you whined that your threads got no responses and attention. Just like playing over/unders, things even out in the long run (without buying points or begging for attention).

This thread is getting entirely too much attention.

Your first post made it look like you had a general lesson/rule for us. Then later in 2 other posts, you said " I had a feeling about THAT game" and "it was a once in a blue moon thing". Get your story straight.

[BestPlay2day]

Why would anyone buy a point on a total at 56? You got lucky this time but 99% of the time it's throwing money away because in the long run this is a bad idea. Makes as much sense as buying a point in the NBA when the total is 233.5.

[donnyguru]

Why not just double up on the Saints -2/-2.5 if you are sooo afraid of big bad #55? Then you can watch the game and hope New Orleans wins 42-0 instead of doing clock math every time NE has the ball, wondering whether to root for them to score or not.

[jackpot269]

Thanks for this thread Abe I have never bought points either way when betting cash and have gotten a lot of info from all that have had in put here thanks all !!!!!!!!

[pavyracer]

I only buy points on half time totals and never on game totals. If the HT total is 27.5 or 28 and I like the under I buy it to 28.5.

[jayc88]

books love people who buy points
why would someone want to pay more juice voluntarily?

[teaserpleaser]

[iceminers26]

Didn't read the entire thread, just top couple posts

You played a square play and pushed, now you are justifying that everyone should buy points on totals or buy points off of key numbers, 3 and 7, are you serious?

Its hard enough to make a profit in this business laying the norm, -110, now you want to go ahead and lay -130/-140 on a consistent basis, great advice to the inexperienced gambler.

Maybe you are the inexperienced gambler

[scratbandit]

I agree also. I bought the 1 point also and got a push.

[Razz_Donkey]

Had to bump this bad boy again, I needed a good laugh. Can we make this thread a sticky please?
