I would think there are guys that do that

Line shooping is overrated anyway, it depends on when you bet game

Secondly almost every book has same line now so no such thing as line shopping
Exactly, Coach. It's when you bet the game most of the time, not where. That's why overnights are key. I love Skybook, and the free half-point is great, especially in football. But I can usually get a better number the night before on college basketball, even without the free half point.

JJ - Ther's nothing to be proud of "betting like a man and losing"

Good luck to the middlers who as you say bet like girls - they probably make some money and if not certainly lose less than you.

You do not want to know how many guys out there only survive because of line shopping!

Valueman I rather lose than middle

All about Ego in NEwark
But isn't ego about having cash to flash around? If you got the cash from sportsbetting, does it really matter how ya got it. You can always still tell people you're on one side or the other while you're middling other games left and right. When the cash is a flowin', the ego and respect will follow. You know that JJ. Come on pal.

Seriously D2Bettor I would get no feeling if I won middling and would have no feeling of accomplishment.

Just like when someone gives me game and it wins I get no feeling at all, lousy to say least

I have a bookie that takes lines out of the paper. I am going to try to middle college and pro basketball. I am going to middle if the line has a 3 point difference or more. Say the line in the paper is Oklahoma over Uconn by 3. The line then goes up to 6 for example. I would bet twice as much on Oklahoma favored by 3 than I would be on Uconn getting 6. I would bet 200 on Oklahoma and 100 on Uconn thinking that I am getting a better line on Oklahoma. What do you guys think of this strategy? Thanks.

There has been some epithet tossing in this thread but, IMO, it has been travelling in the wrong direction.

I gamble. As for middles, I look upon them as money lying on the sidewalk. If I see it, I pick it up and I have no problem with anyone who does.

If I was to start yelling epithets at any forum characters, it would be the ones who risk money without knowing what they're doing. They don't understand the mathematics. They pat each other on the back and encourage each other for thinking of angles that the linesmakers know perfectly well. They chase statistically insignificant trends. They play transparent psychological games with themselves and each other to justify their coin-flip plays.

A lot of them must have families.

IMO, people should be looking with a critical eye at themselves instead of pointing fingers.

Yeah, but only if you are getting 50 to 1 odds per number with a wheel that has 30 numbers to choose from.

That'd be my kind of roulette. :103631605

This is what Jj says. This is just another thread full of posts by this guy that just leaves me shaking my head. I just wonder why his goal is to give out so much misinformation. I mean, he cant really be this stupid right?

I don't think he's stupid, I just think that the mind of a degenerate addict can sometimes be clouded by the need for ACTION. That's why addicts don't win. It's more about action and they don't have the discipline. But JJ seems like a bright enough guy that he could at least recognize this and not give out bad info.

Sounds like you have a very good chance of making a lot of $. Wish I had a book who took lines out of the paper.

Why middle?? There is a easier way to make money if you are not a *****. Its called selling dope. I gamble to make money and for entertainment. But if I need money GUARANTEED, I sell dope. Thats why I dont bet tennis and wnba. I cant stand to watch the crap.

And if your smart, you can post **** like this and still get away with it. Only stupid morons get busted.

So basically middling is bad because you could be selling dope instead. How could I not have thought of that. :smoker2:
