Who here gambles in hope to become rich?

[ryanXL977]

but why do you want to be a dick? whats the benefit? you get loyalty points from bookmaker for it?

[MonkeyF0cker]

Typical response.
Why are you always condescening towards other members?

Here's a lock...give me the chalk.


MonkeyF0cker has more than one freind in his life:

Yes +500
No -700

Hahahahaha. No wonder you're a losing handicapper...

[ryanXL977]

i am sure mf knows plenty about mlb and betting, but why be a dick about it
thats my question

[hackattack]

Hahahahaha. No wonder you're a losing handicapper...

I would rather be a losing handicapper than a loser.

[donjuan]

you cant win picking only favorites, is that better?

Uh, this logic is mind-boggling.

I've never had patience for for the neurologically challenged...

[ryanXL977]

then why do you debate them

[hackattack]

then why do you debate them

He has no one else to talk to.

I am quite sure if you saw MF in person he would be like this guy. Book it.

[jjgold]

You might have a shot if you get every game at -104 or less but anything else they are going to get it all unless you bet both sides to a game but then again that is not gambling.

[Ganchrow]

alright fine, i will give you pinny's closing lines, however, it goes down to 3-1 now.. cause of the 8 to 10 cent line, 3-1 should still be easy for you big shots.

I'm sure you realize, Nicky, that a person betting into a -104/-104 market would merely by flipping a coin have a 34.37% probability of showing a profit over 500 bets.

That means that your at +300 would yield an edge for anyone taking your bet (and selecting at random) of about 34.37%* ≈ +37.47% and would imply expected bankroll growth at full-Kelly of 2.20%.

Betting into a -105/-105 line set with a coinflip, while certainly not as attractive as at -104/-104, would nevertheless imply a profit probability of 28.05%, yielding an edge of about 28.05%* ≈ +12.21% and would expected bankroll growth at full Kelly of 0.24%.

Perhaps there is something that you don't understand about life. Losing gamblers are never considered winners in anyone's book and certainly not mine. I have no respect for the people who continually make the same mistakes over and over again, especially when they openly admit to doing so. So until those people that are a part of this forum make an effort to change that, through either self education or abstainment, I absolutely will not hold respect for nor offer a great deal of cordiality to said parties, yourself included.

Almost as close as your last guess. If you could gather up enough change in your couch cushions and buy a plane ticket to the bash, you'd find out first hand.

HAHA...you don't know me fool.
But I do know you through the context of your posts.

You are a very bitter man who goes around the forum bashing the majority of members here. You do it because it makes you feel better about your lonely pathetic life.

I will leave you with that thought because your modus operandi is to always get the last word in.
The floor is yours because I am done responding to you. You are not worth it.

[SlappyWhite]

betting in and of itself is ****ing moronic. think about that for a moment
but nobody, nobody, can hit 54% every year

I completely disagree, I think with proper research and management you could easily hit 54%.

[MonkeyF0cker]

Haha. You're onto me, Sherlock. Unfortunately, your bloodhounds are anosmic.

[Tosser]

Hi...what´s the point in giving someone Pinny closing lines, or Greek, or whatever?
A key of being succesful is line shopping, you don´t lay -104 -105 etc. always if you look for the best price...especially not if you use shops like MB, Pinny etc.

If you take an even line at MB, that is -104 -104 at Pinny, how much juice did you pay?
Noone knows.

[durito]

I'll take the bet nicky. Pinny closing lines. Any sport.

[bigugly]

Readers would be wise to listen to LT, durito, and ganch, but like you folks I do not mind so much if sports bettors would like to remain ignorant because it is thanks to these people that others are able to profit. It is mind boggling that one would think that everyone must lose based on their very limited personal experience with betting.

I think if one really wants to win they can either learn to handicap successfully or follow someone who does. Add good discipline to the mix and a good money management strategy and you are on your way to winning.

I have lost a lot of money. I was overconfident and undisciplined. I learned important lessons, and now I am better focused and ready to win. AND I am doing it. I will grind it out, even through times of despair!

[bigugly]

AND great post, Ganch! I have been enlightened once again. Hopefully Nicky gets a chance to read it.

[krk1030]

Not to be rich, but to make money. It's certainly possible to win year after year.

[BeatTheJerk]

it's a side job for me .............

[thejrichshow85]

I am working on a system...i will be rich in no time.
