Would You Rather Bet On Credit??

[Ace_of_Spades]

Bad idea.

[bobbyfk]

**** credit...no way in hell will I play on it

[THE PROFIT]

I think I'm 13-3 & 9-2 in 2 of the contests this week, If I had bet just one of those picks it would have probably been one of the 5 losers out of 27 plays. That's why I have trouble in the small amount best bet contests, its weird.

But on credit I will play 5-7 plays in one night & always make money. Plus like the gen. said, my local & I have a great relationship we've developed over the years & we can talk about games & he gives me tips on what other sharps are playing & he & I will lay those offshore.

credit plays are too dangerous, pal.

[Ace_of_Spades]

Has anyone done it before?

[jgilmartin]

Wouldn't ever do it.

With Credit you have to limit your wager. Bet too many game will only hurt you.

With Credit you have to limit your wager. Bet too many game will only hurt you.

Again, this is a very solid argument.

[Climate]

I take whatever I can get as long as I know my man is good for it.
You can never have too many outs.

My opinion is if credit makes you take wagers you wouldn't ordinarily take, then you don't have the discipline for credit, and probably enough discipline to be a winning gambler.

You have to respect credit like it is your own money, which, of course it is.

Credit can cause major problems ask Charles Barkley

The only way betting on credit is not preferable to posting up is if you are a degenerate.

[jjgold]

I got buried betting on credit so many times.

There are different types of credit

Traditional old school local bookie type credit is when you bet and your bets are not deducted off some pre determined cut off figure and this form is fukkin dangerous as you can lose an unlimited amount of money if you go on tilt.

Controlled credit is what most online credit operations use now where a local agent is involved. What happens is you get a lets say 2k credit line and as you make plays the money is deducted immediately off the top so if you make a $110 wager off the 2000 now you have 1890 to bet with. It is a little better that way but you still need funds to pay.

I was kind of hoping this thread would have some discussion about the advantages of not having to post up vs. the dangers of getting stiffed.

But it seems like everyone is concentrating on the dangers of tilting and betting money you don't have. I guess most gamblers are degenerative by nature.

I would be on skid row for sure if I was given credit....

[geebert74]

credit is nice, but i hate owing people money... i find i play differently when on credit also... maybe i should just always be in the mindset as if i am playing on credit!

[konck]

Credit is the crippler of this industry for players.

[Shortstop]

Post up is the way to go.

[Shortstop]

Credit is a no no.

[thespeculator]

winning bet is hard enough , i would say there is to much pressure, to bet on credit, if it just a matter of not paying first and paying after ,that is one thing. Not having the money is pretty stupid

[jjgold]

The advantages of not posting up are basically just that. There is no wasted time in money transfers, delays, and or costs. It is all cash. I think also the leverage thing not having to put up money right away is an advantage over post up. Most businesses deal on credit so if you look at it that way maybe not that bad.

if most of had a choice , no way would we want to deal with transfers , waiting for a check, picking up an envelope would be awesome, and paying the person when you owe would be fine, you hear about these locals all the time or agents , most us have no idea where to find one

[thespeculator]

atleast i don't , don't want to speak for others
