    Real Life is getting in the way of sports betting
    and its annoying. I had class and a meeting till 715 tonight so by the time I got back to my apartment it was 750 and too late to cap the games, AND i missed all the 7 PM games. Work and all that other stuff with being a college student really kills me being able to sit around and wait to see line movements and do some solid capping right before game time. Don't you hate it when that happens?

    Buddy, forget about this shit until you graduate or get your Masters or whatever level you are.

      I find that early in the morning is the best time to look at matches. Of course this doesn't help finding time for watching line moves.

        No money in going to college anymore, Son you will not even be able to get a fukkin job once you graduate and i bet your fukkin barreled in with college loans already.. I would consider gambling more or at least make it your first priority.

        Good Luck Son

            i too am in a similiar position, i work between 32-40 hrs a week, go to college, and am working on getting my public adjustors liscense, along with that i have a very active social life. The ways i am still able to bet without trouble is through my iphone and have my money in 5Dimes and thegreek because they tend to post the overnight lines the earliest

                  haha first of all JJ, don't worry about my finances or finding a job, I am/will be alright...I think theres no point in not getting some sort of degree, you won't be able to do shit without one. And I don't bet heavy enough to make it a bad decision even if I lost 20 games in a row...I wish I could get an iphone or berry but I don't see the point in it just yet for me...In terms of picking games early I bet a lot based on live movement so that's pretty much impossible for me.

                    Cap your games the night before. You usually don't get better lines by waiting till tip off to put your bets in. lol.

                      I haven't placed a bet in months because school has been overwhelming...

                      Was easier to put in bets when I was working 40 hrs/week.

                        Why waste the time following line movements if you don't bet a lot? Get the most you could out of class. If you are so persistant on the subject, just get an iphone or droid. They aren;t that expensive.

                          Dempsy I made $300 shoveling a few days ago, college degrees do not mean much anymore but picking winners do.

                              haha 300 dollars shoveling works how many times a year though JJ? What about the 360 other days you won't be paid to do that? And I still bet to win, and its a solid second income to cover food expenses and going out, won't by any means pay for school though.
