    Honestly I think it's this damn boring Baseball... Wait till all the action starts up again in a month or so I think it will be different then.

          It wouldnt be wise to run points shops on NFL spreads.

                    FHW has no plans of dismantling anytime in the near future.

                    We will always be well funded.

                      I call it specials, cuz it is rare.

                      If i posted em everyday, it will lose its value.

                      kinda like the rubberband plays.

                        why is that? Stallion and the other books made a killing on squares last Sept. That is how he got so many points.

                          Talking without knowing is not good, my friend.

                          Most bookies were profitable. MexStallion accumulated a lot of points that way, yisman book was fine too.

                          Transfer taxes killed them all (there are no longer "two at best"). Just think and run the numbers.

                          A player bets 100 points (pays 1 on taxes and the bookie is also hit by 1 point). If the bet wins, the bookie has to transfer 200 points (taking further 2 points hit to both bookie and player). So, the total tax for a 100 points winning bet is 6% (for a losing one is 2%). I challenge you to run a book with such taxes.

                          With the transfer taxes SBR killed the independent books. And it is a pity, as the good books allowed us to take pinny lines.

                                At FHW, we also offer RANDOM REBATES from 10-200% and as mentioned, FHW as no shortterm plans of closing shop.

                                  There is not enough volume on these unless you offer an unreal line but then you risk the chance of getting smashed.

                                                  FHW remains financially sound.

                                                    He called the stock market at the exact high, that was a few months ago. How many posts did you make highlighting that call? That cascade thread was from '06ish? JJ makes a lot of calls where as some make none. Some are better suited for pointing out missed calls from half a decade ago. And its always the guys who have no record trying to bust balls...a forumville thing I reckon.

                                                        i think the thread is more about booking off opinions not pinny lines etc. mex stallion gave out the same lines as the books. i believe what jj is talking about is offering special lines with off numbers and personal opinions.

                                                                But the stock market is only 500 points from the highs he predicted. A 3-4% gain in the next couple weeks and we surpass the highs JJ called it. I would not call a prediction of the stock market being 3-4% off from when JJ call it a crash.

                                                                So according to you if JJ makes a prediction today that Rebatewager will be the #1 book in the world and in the year 2014 we bump the thread and they are bankrupt you can say that prediction was 4 years ago.

                                                                A wrong prediction can't be justified..it will always be wrong no matter what year.

                                                                    But I bought a few things in the SBR book and lost some in the SBR book
