I never understood why a Bm would want to bother betting.If they are running their book correctly,they are already on the right side.Why bet,and give up the vig.How much money does a person need.And,they already have action.

Thank you Major!

Perhaps you might want to pass this information along to your partner so he doesn't have to keep asking you and some of my friends for loans....

Next time you lend him money, make sure not to tell me because I don't give a rat's ass how much you lend him...

P.S.

Did he pay you back yet?

Be careful how you answer this because I might want to take you up on a wager regarding this...

Anything that Fred has every borrowed from me has been paid back and vice versa.

As far as I know Fred has not made a sports bet since I have known him. You could certainly ask him.

What are your thoughts on the owner of RIO being perhaps the largest DG gambler out there?

Imagine that coupled with a massive drug problem.

Would be a recipe for disastor I would speculate.

Thoughts Ken?

You wrote it I didnt...aristotle/shrink (btw that aristole thing must have really burned when you got caught)

Russ,

I don't have time to play with you anymore...

Don't you drink like a fish, too?

Just because I have been told you have difficulty getting it up when drunk (and sober) doesnt mean you have to attack everyone else who parties...

Freddy has lost lots of coin in casinos, even a worse proposition methinks...

Are YOU backing MajorBetting now that Pariaction is no more?

A simple yes or no will do...

Have a nice day and make sure to by some Viagra for those HARD times, lol...

P.S.

I find it rather pathetic that you and Freddie have to borrow from one another when you like to talk about money management being pivitol in this biz..

One would think you both could manage your funds better without borrowing from one another since you both don't gamble, right, lol?

Thanks,
Ken

"Engaging in excessive and wanton speculative activites betrays a reckless nature that is highly undesirable and at odds with the fiduciary responsibilities of the modern day bookmaker." -- Siggy


That kinda sums it the way I feel too.

I mean Jesus Christ would trust your bankroll in the hands of Dell Dude?!

Shrink-- how could you possibly say that Spiro doesn't bet.He's one of the biggest betters out there today.Also Olympic doesn't honor there numbers on the Don Best screen.

Russ - your a loser, theif, and liar.

Kenny - I also believe that bookmakers should not be gamblers. They are definately more likely to go under.

Shrink you are wrong on this one. Olympic's Spiro and Pinnacle's Henry are the biggest gamblers in the world. You guys who think that because they gamble, that their business is compromised are completely wrong. With the information they have, I would probably bet too. Betting doesn't seem to be hurting their business at all. Also, people may confuse betting with laying off, which actually diminishes the sportsbooks risk. It doesn't bother me one bit that Olympic, Rio, or Pinnacle gamble as long as i get paid every week, which i have by all of the above.

Nothing personal but IMO you should stop with the silly little kiddy type posts and try and get your business up and running. You have a responsibility to the people who trusted you with their money to provide a service and here you are calling people names all day long.

Time well spent Scott.

Would you agree that the smaller books (thousands of them) would be more at risk if they gambled.

No one can make a statement that will be true in ALL scenarios. But for the most part he is correct.

extreme example #1 - If a book pulls in 10 million a year in profit, then the owners betting 5k a game makes no difference.

extreme example #2 - If a book does not make a lot of money and the owner bets over his or her head, there is a HUGE chance of them going under.

There are ALWAYS exeptions to the rule.

Sounds like some bookmakers are beating Shrink to the numbers he wants. Shrink, with all due respect, at LEAST two of the books you mentioned as NOT gambling, have bookmakers, who I know for a fact are gamblers. It is also strongly believed in the industry that Spiro gambles (I can not vouch for that.). What I consider to be THE TWO SHARPEST SHOPS in the world GAMBLE. Out of respect for them I will not mention names, but many here could guess could venture a guess. Also many BM's gamble using their book. They simply move the line they like a half point, let others bet them and lay the juice. Different, but still gambling. I have a gut feeling there is more to this post than meets the eye.

MAJOR - Your probably the one behind these attacks, it would fit your agenda perfectly.

We are doing all we can right now. But whenever I see you post here (cause like I said before "your site sucks") I will gladly remind you of what kind of person you are.

BM's should not gamble. And shading the lines are just as bad.

It increases their chances to get buried on games. I know its not as eciting for you guys to bet at a shop with "non-opinionated" lines, but at least you know we keep the money so we can pay you when you request it.

Judge,

Doing well thank you. I don't gamble myself, simply because my opinion sucks. My "Inner Square" always gets the best of me. If I actually thought I could turn a profit, it would be tempting.
