    How much would Biff's almanac be worth ?

    The next 10 year's winners at 100 %.

    Wife guessed 100k, that's stupid low ! I'd make a lot more of of that info really fast !.

    I could go tout giving 65% winners easily for one thing, or hit 10 team parlays at will for another thing !

    I'd bankrupt every book known to mankind with that kind of info....But how much is that knowing every result ahead of time ? 100 million?

    I think one could pick off 10 million easily being discreet about it with some intentional losers....might get tough after that ?

    100k is way low on wifey's end estimate.

    I don't know how I'd do it myself ?

    NFL would be a component.

    You'd be able to buy a bionic rooster after a week, so as long as they could reattach nerve endings, sure.

    We can rebuild it. We can make it better, stronger, faster... or in this case longer, wider, and vibrating.

    You would bankrupt everyone in a month and have a contract on your head after two weeks. I would make a copy, then put the original in a safe place. I would then contact a security firm or the mob and pay them protection. Once word got out, I would let the casino's know that if anything happened to me, the info would leak and shut them down permanently. I would then extort every casino for $1MM a week NOT to bet, and another $1MM a week to give them the line or the final scores. Although most of the money would go into Swiss accounts, I would make a deal with the US government to "leave me alone" in exchange for generous donations that would stimulate our economy.

    I don't think you could win a billion with that info...unless you were real smart about it ?

    I guess you could, but start slow and smart ?

    Priceless.
    No way in hell anything like that could be sold.
    How can you put a price on something that would make someone an infinite amount of money for 10 years?
    You would have the biggest target on your forehead by the world with info like that

    To someone on this board? They'd be better off without it.

    Every greedy idiot would bet too much and get too cocky til someone found the secret and killed them to get their hands on it.
    Or some guy you took for a huge chunk would find out and off you.
    Or they'd get rich go out Chris Farley style.

    Great thread here!

    I was just thinking about this the other day because I was 9 years old when this movie came out and I have been fascinated with betting sports ever since!

    This movie literally planted the seed as to why 20 years later I am at this forum everyday.

    Funny how life works.

    To answer the Q you seriously could not put a price on it. You would instantly be legendary in so many different categories on this earth. Sports players would be talking about you! Before the Superbowl you would have Tom Brady going up to Belichick and saying "Hey Bill we are pretty fuct today cuz Doug said we are going to lose!" And Bills reply would be "Ya I know! I heard about it 2 weeks ago and decided not to even game plan for this one!"

    There has to be a limit on what you could get with this advance knowledge....and it is less than a Billion ( IMO).

    A billion bucks over 10 years is nothing to sneeze at !

    The better question is to tout or not ? I'll say no, even though I could theoretically give 100% winners !

    Should i tout and give out 65% winners when I already have 100% winners ? I'll have to say not....of course I'd not give everything away....65 % would be awesome to my clients !

    If you couldn't figure out how to get at least a 500 million out of it just through gambling (not selling it) you'd be damn near retarded.

    I think you have to slow play it, catch some exchange action first....bankrupting MB has limits too! Y'all can't hit Tony at 5D for a million +. Greek and wherever would get worn out....There isn't really like 100 Million to win with the scrorebook in hand ?

    It ain't coming from just the books WtoW ! They don't have funds like that behind them, IMO !


    I'd have 10 years to figure out the best way, though ! Beating Greek/ Bookmaker on 10 team parlays isn't best for sure.

    I'd have huge +EV for sure....my every bet could win, if I wanted....but who books my bets ?

    I'd bust a Bookmaker or Grande or any other after a few Million and never get to 500 M ? Surely get cut off, anyway , long short of that !

    CRIS might have a Billion, they'd cut me off at 10M for sure..... Others like SIA, BP, Bodog wouldn't let me win 1ook.

    Where can I win 500 M even with Biff's almanac ?

    Beted ?

    You would probably have to hit and quit at a ton of different casinos/books. Maybe lose a lot there first making some square plays and then hit a big "lucky" parlay. But you can't win more than a few mill at one place before you're going to be followed very closely

    I think I would try to make a few mil (at least 5+), sell my info to touts and have them pay ME, give Lang a bailout here or there, bankroll Columbian druglords, buy oilfields for fun, but most importantly...buy the most expensive velvet and drape myself in it.

    that's what I'm saying !

    Even with the results in advance for the next 10 years ( AKA Biff's Almanac) there's only a few million , maybe 50-100 Max there anyway, IMO !

    Winkytowarren ( or whatever ?) dislikes Doug. There isn't 500 M out there to be stolen from the books even with Biff's book ! not in one year anyway ! Slowplay and maybe....but wouldn't you get cut off too that way ?

    WtoW and Doug don't agree on much stuff. I think this guy dislikes me actually. I'm over it ! 500 M , W to W ?

    OK, Man !

    I'll make peace with you guy, if you desire to do so !

    500 Million....you be dreaming, brother !

    You would have all the scores so all you would need to do is just go to a exchange and for instance tonight you could have given away Eagles +9 and everyone and their mother would have jumped all over that and you would have cleaned house!

    Just do that for "Big" prime time games that get a lot of action.

    Tons of cash for you for 10 years!

    Moosehockey, dude !

    Don't **** with shit books in this hypothethical situation. Hit places like Bookmaker and Greek for 100k parlays....they'll pay you just fine....

    Start hitting 10 ten teamers in a row....impossible....that defies the odds big time.

    Books don't have 500 M to pay out like WtoW thinks !

    Nobody has Biff's book or picks 60% over thousands of picks!

    WtoW is wrong ( IMO) , though ! There isn't that kind of money to win with Biff's book in hand, but this guy and me don't play well together !

    I'm over it ! He could just say....Cool, end it, Peace, Doug....but he won't take the high road, he hates my gutz for some reason !

    WtoW:

    I think you and I have had a bad start with each other for no solid reasons ?

    I propose that we start fresh for 2011 ?

    There's no real beef ( like a money bet) between us.

    I extend the symbolic Olive branch of peace to you in the spirit of a new start to a new year !

    I sense that you dislike me, We don't need to be E-enemies !

    Nothing ever even Fvucking happened between us, like a stiff job !

    Are you Cool with that ?

    What's the Beef anyway ? I don't even recall, but sense something isn't right between us ?

    I think Hot Streak is right, you should become the bookmaker. Of course, what hasn't been discussed much at all, is after reading Biff's book you look at the game and know it is going the other way and bet accordingly. I could put a flux capacitor to good use, I really wouldn't need the book.
