Notice to baseball squares. The -200 fave season ended tonight.

[TheLocal]

According to this site every night is a damn conspiracy! Trap! Even if you won, it was a "bad" bet because the line moved.

All nonsense talk. W/L I'm pretty simple.

Making a thread like this after the fact is completely pointless.

Vegas doesn't play the game.

They just set lines so math will take care of everything for them.

Take all dogs and you will lose long run.

Take all favorites and you will lose long term.

Just pick your spots, understand what the line is telling you, and trust your gut.

I don't have a problem taking large favorites but I think the biggest one I took this year was like 165. Anything close to -200 is really risky and a losing play long term but you can still pick your spots.

[BernardMadoff]

Disagree if the line moved against you its a bad bet, how can you say that.

Dude is clueless.

[ebbearsfb1]

I'm sick of hearing people all saying about squares and what not... the rays were suppose to be a great play tonight... look how that turned out... lost my shirt gonna be workin at choco taco to get back in the game... the one thing I learned from this mlb season is a majority of sbr is clueless and worries more about lines, then the game played on the field... if you pick your spots and pick the better team your gonna win more then you lose.. if you'll excuse me choco taco is calling

He does this on a daily basis

[bruce0]

Seems like he was just being nice. Winner is a winner but the favorites do get killed in September comparatively.
Let the dude post advice.

[Sawyer]

It ends on 1 September. Still 9 days left.

he's right.

dyno, go back to trolling nocoin..

[warriorfan707]

squares and sharps blah fukkin blah its nothing but a bunch of fukking nonsense

get it through your damn heads, the WINNING SIDE IS THE SHARP SIDE

IS THAT SO HARD TO FUKKING UNDERSTAND?????

[warriorfan707]

In other words, THERE IS NO SHARP OR SQUARE UNTIL THE OUTCOME HAS BEEN DETERMINED

CALLING SOMEONE A SQUARE FOR PICKING A SIDE IS ASININE... YOU CAN CALL THEM A SQUARE WHEN THE GAMES OVER AND THEY LOST SURE

[Gee]

This thread just confirms why some of us are destined to lose big in this game and have gambling ruin our lives and why some of us will be around for a while.. why even bother with these threads lb?

You are a narrow minded schmuk

[Allure]

Risked: $44,688.96
Net: $2,501.09

So you risked more than 40k bucks to have a net profit of 2.5k. More precisely, your yield is 5.59%.

I personally would have expected more from an "experienced bettor" who feels like warning "squares".

Winning is winning. Most here are big favorites to be in the negative through a large sample of bets.

Fukkin circle in here

Winning is winning, I agree. But with a yield of 5.59% you shouldn't shout it from the rooftops. With almost 10 plays a day, it's kinda comical that this guy feels like giving "sharp" warnings. The only reason this guy acts up is that most of the bettors here on the forum aren't even able to maintain a yield of 5%, which really isn't anything extraordinary. Actually that's sad, but that's the level here on the forum.

You're trolling. Look at the statistics... very low percentage of people win long term which means any kind of consistent grinding for a profit is very good. Lets see you do better until than buzz off troll.

And you're simply ass-kissing. I look at the statistics. I see a bettor who risked more than 40k's to win a net profit of 2.5k's. That's simple math. A yield of 5.59% - do you even know what "yield" stands for?

any kind of consistent grinding for a profit is very good.

Well, obviously not.

As an example no coin lost a 10 unit play on the dodger vs phillies on 8/10 cause of the line and line movement last night 7 units on rays vs verlander... most of you trap yourself... take the bettter team and you will win long term... see ya at the window

[lolguy999]

time to start betting totals!!!

[Boxer300]

These threads are getting old. Too many look at me I'm smarter than you people on this site. There is no such thing as a "square" bet period and I have been doing this a long time too... so what?

[wantitall4moi]

There is no sharp or square side in terms of ability to pick a winner or a loser.

The sharp and square parts come with getting the best line available when you bet; recognizing if/when a line is going to move and how to use that, if you do, to your advantage; not betting more than you can afford to lose on any single game; not having too much one way action in play at any given time; knowing the long or short term risks versus rewards; and probably most important avoiding situations where you can get in trouble (of varying kinds).

Sharper guys know a few things, not many know them all. But sometimes knowing, or more importantly thinking you know too much can be a dangerous thing as well.

Poker is a good analogy. "pro' poker players will have an edge long term in games they can control, it is math (although with sportsbetting math stops at money management). But in games where they dont have control pros are susceptible to shrt term variances. meaning they cant win all the time and they do lose, and in some cases they can go broke. So being an acknowledged professional in a spot where it can clearly be identified doesnt mean shit. So in sports betting where the term is even more loosely used it means even less.

Thats what happens when you look at line movement 12 hours a day and get screwed


And he only bets $10 a unit

I avoided all of the huge faves today. Only ML I took was Cleveland and it still almost burned me. I'm tired of MLB ML's at this point in the season.
