Hi OMT,

I love this forum, has been a really knowledgeable forum on getting a second opinion for my picks and amazingly, I've become a baseball fan (I'm from Canada btw). Anyways, I noticed on the Baseball section of the forum, alot of the guys there will post their picks and then describe their picks with a number in decimals (i.e 0.6, 0.25, 0.5) just wonder what that is interpreted as and if you could give me an example for it as well. And finally, what does it mean when people say, "small, medium, upper medium, large" and how is that ranked? For units, every person has their own equivalence, it doesn't have to be 1 unit = 100. Thanks ahead for the answers

Hi Chelsea:

First of all welcome to the RX. Now as to your questions, when a poster shows his/her picks with decimals, that is an indication of a unit size less then 1. For those that use words, like small, medium, upper medium and large, they have decided not to assign a unit size but rather a scale range with small being the weakest and extra large being the strongest plays and finally, a unit can be any amount. It is a money management indicator. We have players that wager from $5 to $1000 or more per unit. Hope this helps answer your questions. Feel free to ask anything you wish in the future and most of all, best of luck.

Sure! On the following link site, just place your mouse cursor over NBA on the home page and scroll down to Historical Logs And Ratings and you can find all the games and final odds. I am assuming your not talking about current odds and sportsbooks.

hey OMT

I'm from Austria, Europe and I'm looking for a new sportsbook.

Want to play NBA, NHL, Soccer and maybe NFL.
I need good lines, no payout problems, cheap and quick payouts, no limiting for my wagers if I win like at bwin and if possible a deposit bonus.
I like betfair for soccer but they dont offer all bets for american sports. So I need a book which offers all bets at all sports. Can you please suggest me a few good sites where I can play?

whats with pinnacle?

First of all welcome to the RX. I will be honest with you. First, there is not a sportsbook that I know of that if you consistently win big, your wager limits won't be reduced and ultimately shown the door. What you are asking for is every gambler's dream, i.e., one or more sportsbooks with the best lines, no payout problems, accepting large wagers, no wager limits, no payout problems, cheap and quick payouts and a deposit bonus. You asked about Pinnacle. I certainly have nothing negative to say about them.

What I can tell you is that because you are a registered member of the RX, if you open an account with any of our listed sponsors above and if you have any problems needing resolution, we will work with you and the books together to resolve the issue.

In this industry, books are acknowledged by rating as to how they perform for their customers with a "A" rating being the elite. The following website shows the ratings of the top websites in the industry. Two of them are our sponsors. 5dimes and Betjamaica. I suggest you review the website before making your decision.

Not really a question but I wanted to say this really is a good forum! Been following some people and it has helped with their insights on all varieties of sports. I look forward to posting some of my plays (once I sort the kinks out) in the soccer forum. Well done!

Thanks for all your work on the forum!

I'm relatively new to sports betting, but have been doing a lot of research into handicappers. One thing that strikes me is how few of them publish complete track records, and of those that do, how few win in any significant way over the long term - even a lot of the ones who seem to draw attention on the forum.

Can you point me to any handicappers you feel are long term winners, and/or to threads ro members that seem to have some insights into good handicappers? I'm familiar with Dr Bob, Lineback, RAS - want to find more like those guys.

I'm not interested in "hot hands" or whose been good lately - I want to stick with long term, documented winners.

Thanks again!

David

First of all welcome to the RX. It appears that your question is regarding touts from our RX Sports Services Forum. I honestly don't pay attention to any touts so I don't know which ones are good and which ones are not. Sorry, but I can't recommend anyone.

I'm sorry to hear that you may be being slow payed. Unfortunately, they are not one of our sponsors so communication with them may be limited. I will forward your problem to our Head Moderator but I can't make any promises at this time.

For The Record

There is little we can do to help players get withdrawals expedited at Oddsmakers. They essentially will not deal with us regarding matters that involve the financial balances of their clientele.

Apologies, wilheim..

Post Review

Good afternoon

Wondering if you'd mind taking me off of post review? I'm not a tout or particularly involved with the gaming world. Just a random squid who bets small amounts through a local bookie...

Cheers
