We have a new GOD here! I told you nikka's a year ago in this thread!

[Das Jax]

Looks like my bet cashes for sure and Stonie has a shot at the upset!

[Keyboard Warrior]

Md, here is the subbed preview of the new HYPE coming out july 5.

[Das Jax]

• Official results: Joey "Jaws" Chestnut: 61 hot dogs , Matt "Megatoad" Stonie: 56, Tim "Eater X" Janus: 44.
  
  So glad I didn't bet on the totals... 61 is way lower than expected.

srry, I would take the under beelz, Chestnut had an interview on TMZ about wanting competition and wishing the GOD Kobayashi would finally sign his contract. I think the motivation is gone from Joey at this point. Just my break down.

...

[Beelzebubzy]

Damn only 61

4-0 onto the next one
I'm ranked the 47 best competitive eating tout in the world.
I charge by betpoints or bitcoin or bitpoints or betcoin

[Beelzebubzy]

He hit 70 in practice per his twitter

[Das Jax]

So, I just tried to become a "pro" so I could use my betpoints for something... apparently the only way to do so is to donate $100+ to one of two charities?!? Is that a joke? Did all you pros seriously spend over a hundred bucks just to be able to use betpoints?

I dont think so, My fav is cowboy bebop. I was watching the one you mentioned kaiji I think im at ep 7-8. Im trying to watch some of the newer anime coming out.

Kaiji's awesome, right? Some manly shit right there, and absolutely insane.

I'm excited for Zankyou no Terror, Watanabe's last anime (Kids on the Slope) was fukcing incredible, and Bebop is obviously one of the best anime ever. Insane to think that the same guy made Bebop, Kids on the Slope, Champloo, Macross Plus, and now this.

[Keyboard Warrior]

yes kaiji is very good. Best anime ive seen with gambling. Nunya should check it out, a lot of game theory. LOL. So hyped for Zankyou no Terror. Watanabe is a genius. I never watched Kids on a Slope but heard it is very good. Fanzub.com will have Zankyou out first if you use nzbs. Which I switched to. Torrents too dangerous.

Dangerous in what way?

The thing that I love about Kaiji is that it takes seemingly silly games and makes them compelling. Restricted RPS seemed like it would be a bust, but was incredible. The guy who writes the manga, by the way, is a guy named Fukumoto, and he writes some of the manliest manga of all time, several of them about gambling. He has another really famous anime called Akagi; similar to Kaiji, but entirely about gambling on mahjong. It has a lot of the same themes, except that Akagi is a God-like super gambler (the Goku of gambling, easily as good as Gabe) as opposed to just a normal guy in a desperate situation using incredible wit to survive, per Kaiji.

Kids on the Slope is spectacular. It's all about music, especially jazz, and is a really great drama. One of the things I hate about anime is that the characters, at least in 90% of series, are so shallow and lack depth. Kids on the Slope has a lot of Western sensibilities to the dialogue, and it's a really entertaining story.

Nah i didnt. Jus signed up to a sportsbook through sbr years ago. Although tht is a bone of contention as all the free cash bonuses i keep buying on the sbr store keep getting cancelled because they reckon i never signed up to the book through sbr...but i must of done it for one of either pinnacle, sportbet, or bookmaker otherwise id never become a pro

[Keyboard Warrior]

i will check out the manga too. Torrents just expose your ip too much for me. I dont want my ip floating around serving up data. The entire protocal just is a honey pot. I hate it. But i like having some type of security. Of course seedbox can do that for you. I enjoy nzbs much more. Simply for the fact my upload bandwidth is untouched. I can keep a low ping while also downloading.

[PunisherIND]

someone make a mental note that the weather (rain) apparently has a detrimental effect on how many weiners you can swallow in 10 minutes

actually, that's not very surprising. what is surprising is they didnt cover these focks with a tent

[Educ8d Degener8]

Rolling the dice with Dodgers -1.5 against Rockies. Jurrjens up from AAA where he wasn't exactly lighting the world on fire (~ 4.5 ERA down there). I'll take my chances with Kershaw.

Happy 4th effers.

Wow, I didn't get a chance to watch, that's ridiculous.

No, when I signed up, all you had to do is prove you had a funded sportsbook account.

It's still worth it to do the charity thing.

[NunyaBidness]

Braves pk in the contest today.

[Das Jax]

For both the contest and general betting purposes, you guys should play the under 11 for tonight's Rockies/Dodgers game. That total is way too high. If you add each team's last ten game's together (which is cheating a little bit as they played each other a couple times), only three of those 20 games total more than 11 runs. Neither of these pitchers are throwing a shutout, but it's still extremely unlikely that many runs ends up on the scoreboard. I hammered it at -105 last night and have it in a whole slew of parlays, but it's still a bargain at -110.

Generally speaking, I'm trying to reduce my overall betting volume these days and am spending most of my time tracking down soft lines that I can go big on. It's been working out really well for me and since this is just the sort of line I look for I'm trying to spread the love. Similarly, if you guys come across anything you think is interesting down the road, whether it's MMA related or otherwise, please do take the time to post it. This forum could be so much more than it is if our collective energy was actually spent on line discussion instead of arguing over stupid shit like 12 year old girls because someone got their feelings hurt.

Edit: Also, if you haven't seen it yet, be sure to check out my recommended prop bets in the 175 Machida/Weidman thread. It took a little bit of digging, but there's a ton of value in this card.

[PunisherIND]

i didnt get to watch it live. in hindsight, that was probably the cause of that late steam on chestnut under 64.5. would have been an easy decision if you were watching live and witnessed the lack of roofing, and the chicks massively underperform.

Yeah, and my dumbass maxed it cluelessly.

Thank god for 20% limits!

I think you could also make the argument that he was distracted by the engagement. Proposing on live TV in front of the entire nation is probably enough to make a guy lose focus.

7 runs in the 4th... sweating this waaaaay more than I'd intended.

[NunyaBidness]

Stay positive, you can just double down on under 13.5 live now.

[NunyaBidness]

V, are penalty kicks really 50/50 as live lines seem to suggest?

[Das Jax]

Well, there's the 11. I'll take my medicine, but that's a tough pill to swallow. ~6 units of well-crafted parlays just went up in smoke on a bet that should have cleared by a mile. The worst part is that it's the second time the Rockies have screwed me (they cost me my streak as well). The Dodgers beat them 9-0 last night and today, have scored only 2. Meanwhile, the horrible Rockies suddenly decide to knock in runs like it's T-ball. I guess them's the breaks.

Well very hard to tell, id say pretty much yes for the most part.u can cap to a certain extent if u know who is taking the penalties like with holland just now it was obvious tht Robben, van persie, Sneijder, and Huntelaar would be four out of the five, and then the remaining spot would be one of kuyt, wijnaldrum or lens (they went with kuyt due to his experience)... Then if u have tht knowledge u can try and assess chances of them scoring based on previous record, their reputation for dealing with pressure, and technical ability. Due to the quality of hollands main takers usually they would of been favoured -130 i reckon, however costa rica had already beaten greece on pens in last round with every taker converting their shot, and have navas in goal who is one of the best shot stoppers around - this is why the odds were a pick-em. Also, van gaal brought on Tim krul for Cillessen just for the penalties (this hardly ever happens in any level of football) so was a massive curveball!

Gotcha, seems reasonable. Knew the odds would tighten as it got to penalties, but was shocked by how much.

Been lots of value live, that situation we talked about the other day came up again today.

[NunyaBidness]

Red Sox -1 is the contest pick of the day.

I'm thinkin the Brewers in the afternoon game and then the Angels (Weaver) at home later tonight myself....

To be clear for those who aren't understanding what I'm doing here, I'm picking the game with the most value against the market line. I'm not listing plays that should be made on the ML or anything else.

Outguessing the market in MLB is not a way to make money.

i think that would be everyone. lol.

this should have been explained several weeks ago... i just didnt have the heart to do it. guys were having a lot of fun, it seemed.

[NunyaBidness]

Heh, I thought for a minute that people were possibly betting the plays straight up, but I was real busy at the time, so I never mentioned it.

Hope nobody counts some of those -180 losers against my record ITT if I ever tally it up.

[Educ8d Degener8]

Those were just filkins bro. Not official picks.
