    Greek and CRIS would **** with the copiers daily just like they did on the UNLV 2H line Wednesday.

    Weak numbers would be all over the place.

    The people who actually make their own numbers and handicap their own stuff would crush the clueless sheep without the shepherd.

    While I agree with you on certain points, the liquidity on Matchbook was certainly worse than usual.

    I too made a killing on matchbook, with pinny down. As for action missing NBA side was very active, had 2 $2k bets taken in 2 min after posting it up. NBA half time was so, beside the televise game. The other ones didn't have any action, and I was lazy to make a offer too.

    Oh yea Bookmaker and Greek are so awesome...like 40c lines on a UEFA Champions League playoff game.
    And on U.S. sports like your cute little NCAA Hoops, the copycat books would be even more careful without Pinny and their leans nowadays. They are used to sharp punters now, they weren't prepared 7 years ago.
    Some peeps here need to wake up and smell some fresh coffee, if you think some smalltime books let you hammer weak lines like there is no tomorrow you must be still dreaming.

    Many guys here are smart enough to shop around and set their our own lines . They have an idea what the line should be . Books are looking for 50/50 action split ,surly without a pinny they will be lost .
    PS .Your post is worthless . Except for the points you get.

    Cheers

    The majority of guys on here think they are professional gamblers because they make money by chasing steam, cherry picking market variances and scalp, yet could not tell you point blank if a college hoops total should be closer to 130 or 155 or who would be favored in a small market game where a line is 12.5 without comparing.

    Not saying you are like that just saying those players would need to find a job.

    If the truth be known, the majority of the guys in here DO NOT make money at all. Most are losers in the long run. Winners do not brag about having a good day. Those in here that do just give themselves away. They act that way because they rarely get there. And believe me, these guys all have jobs. I have yet to see a pro in here.

    I think Justin is a pro for sure.

    On the other hand I don't see many people pretending like they are pros anyways?

    I'd have to find a jube or learn me something. Either way, it'd suck.

    But winners brag about a million dollars being a large amount in an NFL season for a "syndicate", and that the Mirage is one of the "big boys" among the Vegas sportsbooks. You need to work on your charade a little harder--next time, try using "5 million" and "South Point" instead of "1 million" and "Mirage."

    And believe me, these guys all have jobs. I have yet to see a pro in here.
    You included, I'm sure. Or are you collecting unemployment and have decided that your lack of a job makes you a "pro?"

    Don't know HH..some peeps must be so sharp, it's a miracle they still have to work for money, and that Pinny didn't hire them yet.
