Cluster **** or omen yesterday. dont know how many of you live here in vegas, but 40 min b4 yesterday's Ill game the station casino lost all the computer systems that run every one of there casino ticket printing betting machines (about 6, including green vallen ranch)

now yesterday was a very big bet day, especially for the horses, and some of the big races were getting ready to go, along with some hugh pick 6 & 8's.

at the sante fe, one of the smaller house, there are about 150 individual stations where heach better has his own tv, which they can change the channel to get either a different track or sports game, what ever is broadcast they get it all, and every seat was taken, than the small area for sports was filled as well, and hundreds line up to make either horse or cbb bets

the system did come back up with about 10 min b4 the cbb game, but the million dollar gulfstream, and many pick 6 & 8 were shut out for the day. i know that we had a 15-1 winner that we couldnt get in, but they had every ticket window open and manned and were able to get everyone that wanted to bet thru the system before game time.

most were on ill & msu, the brothers were on louis and NC, and i was with the house with louis and NC.

the house needed nc in a big way yesterday, the line never came off 4- regardless of who and what they bet. so yesterday 1-1 on the sides, took the under in both games, but pushed at 158 in the 2nd one

horses - the jts (jake the snake) was hot as hell in the ponies yesterday, he bets exacta, tri & super boxes. for that dont know anything about betting horses, a tri and super is to pick the exact order of finish in an individual race, but a box means that you get any combination of number to come in any position. we were betting $2 dollar tri & super boxes which is $24 per ticket. well to make a long story short, yesterday at santa anita, the long shots were coming in, in the 8th race we had a tri and super 5-6-9-10, both on the tri and super which means that any 3 of the 4 horse in the tri, in any order for $24 ($2 box) and all 4 horses, in any order for the super. 10 won, and 7-6-5 came in, and the 9 was a close 5th. the super paid $60,133 for a $24 bet, but we won the tri which paid $5663.20 for a $24 bet, and yes we got 1099's. you can bet 4 times that much on a sports game and never get one, although they do report all cash trans at $10,000 to the feds, but no 1099, but on horses it depends on the odds.

dam, that was a long short story

down to business

line opens nc-3 now -2-, o/u 156- now 155. looks like all the money is going to be on ill for this game, and the under. lets see how low that o/u can go. i know that these final games usually go under, but gt & uconn went way over last year, and these teams like to run and gun

on to bf, and back home for a nice quiet day blowing **** up

catch you all later

next time you come to vegas, we can do some ponies. i just follow jts, and a couple of other cappers that do very well here, especially pick 6 & 8. we do 1k plus pools on them, we split a few large ones as well.

i dont do well myself, but playing along with them is fine, and fun

p.s. kd is coming up soon, might have something for that, we hit the tri last year, another 1099 on that one, paid very well

last bet day

going to feel good to get up and only have think about who and where my next bj is coming from

my last bet for this year will be ill + what ever and with the o/u now at 154, prob the over, maybe it will go down further

doubt that there will be much to bs about today, hope that for those of you betting nba will stay out of the poor house, and gl to those on bb, just tooooooooooooooooooo much work, although money can be made, i though o/u umps were the easiest, but that still required some work

on to bf, and maybe some parting thoughts later

life is too short, so remember to just have fun in what ever you do

Pops..enjoy yourself on your trip..i am a few years older than you but still feel like 19.. gambling on horses/sports all my life keeps my mind active. I followed along with you on baskets which I gave up 20 years ago because I could not beat it but your theory on fading the public got me interested again.. enjoyed following your adventures here in Vegas..i have been here last 20 years betting horses (Pic 6's primarily) and the NFL..will play bases for entertaiment but waiting for NFL for major wagers..in the interim have my horses..concentrate only on So Cal Circuit.

Anyway thanks for your picks/blog..i told my live-in gal about you and occasionally when i get on line she says "how is Pops doing" I have done my share of boozing but got tired of the struggle. Will look for you when the NFL starts..be safe and have fun on your trip.

Ill it is...

I noticed you are going against Kapusta because he had it at -3 and it's moved to -2. Frankly I never saw it at -3....did you?

Anyway...I lost my asssss in women's hoops last night with both favs giving up huge leads to eventually lose. That's what I get for betting on a bunch of split-tails who can't hit a layup...WTF?

good luck

tiger & LvTimer

tiger, womens bb, your a sick puppy. if you want to end it all quick just put a gun to your head or bet the NBA. yes it did open at -3, i was at the casino when it got posted, got bet down to -2- in less than two hours, if i can remember correctly. yes fade on kp, he's like only won one game that i bet against him on when it has move against him so why no. i think ill could be fav by game time, but what the hell do i know

lvoldtimer: tks for the nice words. what casino do you and your girl hang at? maybe we can do some pick 6 or 8's and some tri and supers b4 i leave for the summer

today game opening lines, which should be in my 1st post in this thread as well

nc-3 o/u 156-

just relaxing, and trying to stay out of my wife's way, as she is always trying to get me to do some manual labor

back later all

leaving in about 30 min

not sure if i'll do any kind of a rap tonight or tomorrow, the cbb forum will prob be dead as hell. well i lost my last game last year as i was on GT.

this year looks like i'm the only one on ill (i like it that way) also starting to like the over now that it down to 152

gl to all, and maybe i'll be back for the cfb season to do my pow's, that's been a great money maker for the last couple of years fading the majority picks.

glta in what ever you bet tonight

Pops, I'm confused. I thought you played against line moves. NC opened -3, now down to 1 1/2. I thought you'd be on NC. Wagerline all over ILL also. I understand why you might like the over, it opened at 156 1/2 now down to 152 1/2. Please help me understand. Thanks in advance, KID

this is a kapusta fade pure and simple. on games that he has posted where the line has move against him since dec, to my knowledge he has only won one of them. most of his other games have been winners, but it's just a pattern that jimmymo and i picked up on early this year

also this is not a 1- point line move either, which would but it in that type of play. the stats on the kp play are much better

with respect to the o/u, on the last game of the year for me to bet i sure dont want to be on a under, nothing worse than drink, betting some horses and rooting for an under

also like the fact that it has dropped 4 points

gl tonight

Pops..I usually go to Palace Station as i like to play Twin Q..gal comes sometime but she enjoys staying home..i noted you mentioned Boulder Station in some of your posts..is that your regular joint?

Santa Anita been tough for me this meet..so much rain and screws up capping..much more confortable at Hollywood Park..will be interested in your college football plays.again fade the public. I have been right on top of NFL..set my lines Sun night and usually easy to predict what public will bet..best sport for me by far to bet..get in Hilton super contest every year..keeps me focused.

Will meet you anytime..we have a lot in common from what i see in your post.
