    sometimes more valuable for the book to have an accurate line or know the sharp side of a game than to cut a bettor off. Even if he bets 10k at your book his edge might only be like $150 worth and it lets you move the line or take a lot of sucker bets on the other side.

    Hopefully it won't be another smear job by the justice department like the last piece on online poker.

    A pro sports bettor doesn't have a $150 ev on a 10k bet. Should be at least $800. But I agree with the strategy. Just look at pinnacle.

    He's still doing quite well. Come on Dickie V jr. Get your facts in order before making more baseless statements.

    You going to take me up on the wager for "your Cam Newton will never play a down in NFL" prognositcation?
