18 NBA plays = + $7.03

[Doug]

I hate it when that happens, feel like I wasted a day ! It's better than losing, but I'd rather have a decisive win or loss. All hours of day and night for 7 bucks.:WTF:


Then do it again ! I guess I'm forgetting bonus points, but still feel " another day older, and one day closer to death" ! :finger: :digit:

18 plays in one day?!?! the books love you.

 

[Doug]

Norega: There is the game within the game. I play for middles. That's three early bets, ( two published), BOUGHT BACK ON TWO OF THEM, I'm at 5 bets.

I play almost every halftime dog of +200 or better on ML, testing it out for smaller bets, it's done well so far, ( went 0-3 with +535, +205, + 650 bets) ,I'm at 8 bets.

I played 10 half-time bets ( other than ML's), total bets now equals 18. Some being totals, some sides, I could have more than that by betting props, quarters, first halves ,etc.

I pass on some very slight positive bets. Stuff like +3 +100, -2 -110, has a small value ( in theory). It's arguable, but borderline bettable. I can make many bets on one game. That +3 even/ -2 -110 really should draw a bet in NBA. Make that -2 into -108, -107, -105, if you don't bet it , you leave money on the table ( at least in theory). I'll bet anything if I think I have an edge. Furthurmore if you don't like that spread, then you must love one team to win the game !

Was I wrong to take Phil -6 -110, and Dallas +7.5 -105 on MNF ? I don't think so !

There are different approaches to this endeavor, maybe mine doesn't match yours, but I'm not necessarily a " a bookie's dream".

Remember the "game within a game". On the surface you are correct, but some of us dive deeper.

Doug its futile to try and explain your reasoning, because a small % will always accuse you of not being what you say...it comes with the territory...I actually receive hate mail regularly...

In fact I just received an email telling me I didn't bet that 3rd qtr play saturday night...you remember the bet AZ +13.5 and OVER 13.5....The fools that read every word and draw their own stupid conclusions without knowing an ounce of fact, it gets real old...Then I see in the same thread over at the dump, how I was stupid because i didn't play the bet UNDER...Meanwhile I played the bet the way I did because I couldn't LOSE BOTH SIDES ...In the example had i played it UNDER I could have lost both sides...lol, but I was the stupid one ???

Ignore the stupid idiots who don't know what your intentions are, they will make up their mind to feed their own insecurities...

 

[Journeyman]

This was the email I received...

JMAN-
"LMFAO. You get caught making up a bet and then delete
the thread. Some things never change."



Doug the reason I show this to you sir, is because you know exactly why the thread was taken down lol... welcome to my world ,lol...

 

[Doug]

Jouerneyman: I know why you took that thread down, of course.

I can see Noreiga criticizing my 18 bets as well as valid , as I gave no initial explanation of bets. 18 bets on 8 games, on the surface seems crazy ! I had my reasons for doing it.

I was lamenting the return for my efforts, almost tongue-in-cheek, just really venting a tad. Funny though, I think I would have felt better losing $7, than winning it, it's so trivial. It's certainly occured before !

I'M OVER IT !

Bring on the next day, so I don't make 29 cents an hour !

 

[Journeyman]

I wasn't so much referring to Noreaga's questioning your amount of wagers, as I was making a point, some posters seem to think they know everything, when they no jack sh!t about what's really happening.....

Hey Doug atleast you can thank Chris Webber right? that was hilarious for those that played Chicago 2nd half, although I think it may have went in, it was right on target.

 

[Doug]

J-man: You are a target, over there. I am only there about once a month, if bored, rarely have the motive to look. Seeing you "credited" with starting a thread you clearly didn't start, proves a lot.

I don't want to get into these head-games. Next thing I know, I'm being "quoted". I want out, now !

I'll send you an e-mail from my normal address soon, in case you want to talk. I trust you.
