Should I feel bad for taking a shot a book with Portland?

thirtytwo · 02-22-12, 09:35 AM

I woulnt feel bad. Just watch out for that book limiting you to $1 bets or drawing you into endless verification process after this win...

grizzlies1 · 02-22-12, 09:38 AM

Yeah, luckily I use about 8 books (bet 365, willhill, Ladbrokes etc) as the UK doesn't have the restrections the US players seem to have. I can deposit money in and out of my betting accounts instantly using my DC. In reality I will probably never need to use this book again.

Well, if you had forgotten to check the news headlines, didn't know Parker and Duncan are out and bet San Antonio, do you think the book would feel bad about it?

Smoke · 02-22-12, 09:58 AM

Yes you should feel ashamed
I don't know how you live with yourself

MUHerd37 · 02-22-12, 10:00 AM

Don't feel bad until you actually cash the money out. If they don't pay you then why you feel bad?

Maniac · 02-22-12, 10:30 AM

No in this situation I dont think you should feel bad.

If the line was an obvious mistake and you knew that and took a shot, then it would be a different story - but in this case where the line was correct initially and they just hadnt reacted quickly enough to the injury news, then I have no sympathy for the book - if they dont want to get caught out on injury news like this then hire someone to monitor the lines better overnight.

However, at the same time, dont be surprised (or complain) if you find your account there limited or even closed entirely (depending on what book it was) but in this case the book would have no right to try to screw you by calling "bad line" on this one so should pay you up in full !

grizzlies1 · 02-22-12, 10:31 AM

The feeling bad part was tongue in cheek guys. Of course they are going to pay me, no troubles like that with the euro books.

BigDaddy · 02-22-12, 10:33 AM

you should donate it all to charity.

mh217 · 02-22-12, 10:40 AM

small limits..but hey gotta take what you can get.

halleBB · 02-22-12, 10:40 AM

come on they don't show any hard feelings when they get your money so why should you feel bad, they must pay for every mistake

griz · 02-22-12, 10:44 AM

change your fuckin name pal i am already griz

mh217 · 02-22-12, 10:46 AM

oh shit yea man i thought that was you..we need an SBR shootout here

grizzlies1 · 02-22-12, 11:02 AM

Wind yer neck in. SBR's only big enough for one Grizzly and that's me.

griz · 02-22-12, 11:19 AM

fukkin ghost bitchass

fight me for the name

Smoke · 02-22-12, 12:37 PM

Griz he jacked your shit son

big0mar · 02-22-12, 12:38 PM

I got hard just hearing how you took a shot

You should be on top of the world

Chong Wizard · 02-22-12, 12:44 PM

Why would you feel bad. That's called skills... its hard enough to beat these books. If they made a mistake and you were sharp enough and ballsy enough to pull the trigger then you deserved to win that money.

grizzlies1 · 02-22-12, 12:54 PM

Thanks guys, just needed the reassurance. Gonna use the $1k winnings to buy my girl a new camera and my Dad a new laptop. The books can get to f*ck. As can you griz, I will fight you anywhere, anytime.

mh217 · 02-22-12, 01:01 PM

you should have created accts under your girl's and dad's name and won 3 k.

TheMoneyShot · 02-22-12, 01:07 PM

Don't really understand the point to this thread? You claim you feel bad? Any wager no matter who it's on or against isn't always what it seems to be. There's risk to everything in life.

I'd like to see Griz Vs Grizzlies

griz · 02-22-12, 01:21 PM

grizzlies i am serious i want to fight you. come to chicago pal and i will kick ur ass and film it for sbr. no one jacks my name and gets away with it. i am tracing your IP as we speak

WvGambler · 02-22-12, 01:41 PM

I like this new Grizzly. I'm gonna start calling him griz and grizzer. If anyone hears me refer to griz or grizzer, be aware I am talking about grizzlies1. I guess I'll start calling the old griz.....Tim.

If I mention Tim, I'm refering to the old Griz.

grizzlies1 · 02-22-12, 01:47 PM

MH217 - I only just got my own account made and the money deposited before they moved the line. I was scrambling round like fukk to find my bank card. It's one of those few times a season occurances where you have to cash in. Just like Bama missing 4 starters at LSU the other week, I had more time there and even after the line move to LSU-1.5 hit it for $2k.

Thanks WvGambler. As for "Griz", I live in England pal, I'll even give you my fukking address if you want it. Reason I like american sports - went to school in America on a full ride and actually won several NCAA titles. What the fukk have you ever done?

The Kraken · 02-22-12, 01:51 PM

Nice job Griz. Don't get the buggy ahead of the horse here guy, make sure they're gonna pay before you start showing your soft side. Would be funny if they were taking a shot with you and here you are feeling bad about beating them.

mh217 · 02-22-12, 01:53 PM

This kind of thing works both ways, if you ever come across any game changing info in a euro game post it here so maybe we can catch an American book with their pants down!

grizzlies1 · 02-22-12, 01:57 PM

Definitely will do pal. It's only a matter of time before Wayne Rooney cheats on his wife with another 65 year old prostitute and gets benched then we pound whoever Man Utds opposition is!

grizzlies1 · 02-22-12, 01:58 PM

Thanks Kraken, good thinking. However these aren't small operations the likes of bet365, willhill etc. The beauty of gambling here is I can withdraw 1k from one of my betting accounts and it's in my bank account within 24 hrs.

grizzlies1 · 02-22-12, 02:01 PM

You got any of these griz? Didn't think so. The names mine.

No injuries here. This is just a case of Popovich resting his stars and one of the main reasons I don't like betting on basketball. It's too unpredictable. The individual games don't carry the same weight as, say, the NFL games. So from time to time, coaches can pull this $hit.

grizzlies1 · 02-22-12, 02:29 PM

Don't have a sister and my MUM wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire.

Seahawk Harry, you could have all my points if I could get em to you. I tried to become a pro but they said as I already had a bet365 account I couldn't do it, even though there's fukking thousands in there never mind a lousy $200. And I'm not messing around with things like 5Dimes, I like my payments straight into my bank account. Will give you 2 points each day I remember.

grizzlies1 · 02-22-12, 02:33 PM

And just for you boys here is some lovely girl I met whilst on spring break in Lake Havasu. Nothing incredible in the face but great body and skills like you would barely believe!
