re; Clinton Portis Injury

We just saw the line move against Washington and down to a pick before going OTB...is it ethical to beat the books before they can pull the game?

Bet Tampa all you like, I dont think they will mind at all - not with the following message on the Redskins website:

"NOTE: News reports that Portis is injured and will miss 8-12 weeks are ERRONEOUS."

Tough call ...

I think it's a cheap shot to take them for the team win total, but during the day IMO it's fair game.

well, it's ethical to try to take the polish middle now that you just got the worst number on Tampa

Guys...check your sources before hitting a side on rumor...GREED KILLS

Looks like some major books got fooled and hung pick for a few minutes. Anyone who took +2 when the fake injury news hit will have no problem getting off at -1.5 right now at any number of outs.

No, just saying that anyone who took two is not stuck with it. Tempest in a teapot.

Drunkguy...who are you referring to? I played Tamp ML before the line moved...

just in general mr. j-man. if the line dropped and they chased it they would be stuck with the worst number playing solely on an unconfirmed rumor...nothing worse to kill your bankroll than loading up on a play like this

Yeah Keith ..where does it say what I played different from what I just said? Assume all you want...I don't unload on any one play...
 
Let's see-"I just beat the number at my book....down to a pick now!"
You added to your previous wager?Is that what beat the number at my book means or am I just an idiot for reading that you thought you just got a great number on the dog?
 
Was not trying to argue with anyone Wil- just explained what I thought was accurate based on what he wrote in another thread

Keith, I see you running your trap elsewhere so i will respond one more time...I posted that I got the original line ( before the bogus injury report) I played the ML, why would I take TB +1.5 anyway (if the injury did really happen, 1.5 or the ML, of course you take the ML?..but that doesn't quite fit your calling me out does it?

I said I got it before the number moved....that was the only reason to play it IMO...So what!!?? I have TB on the ML....like the play has no chance???LOL ....tell the pussy Raiders I said hello and get a life, I never seen anyone worry about what other internet posters do more than him, (a true nutsack)

If you would like to email me, I will prove this wager to you, we can call the book together, would you like to make a side wager on this too?

How many times have you made a wager without all the information? No book would let you take it back.

If your book isn't willing to put in the time and effort to get all the information, that isn't your problem.

They are resposnsible for themselves.
 
I never ran my trap elsewhere dickhead- I responded to a post elsewhere- not a topic I started.

"tell the pussy Raiders I said hello and get a life"- tell him yourself if it's so important to you. You post over there.

"If you would like to email me, I will prove this wager to you, we can call the book together, would you like to make a side wager on this too?"
Not that important to me to waste my time- never should have wasted my time in the first place. Besides, I am sure you could get an advertiser to tell me anything you want them to.

I don't see an ethical dilemna with beating a book to the punch. You both have access to the same information. If you catch them sleeping it's their fault.

It would be unethical to bet a game or race that has already occurred, but the fact the book is not up to speed seems to be ok with me.
