Not that I am taking the OP side, but many pro's draw their line around the -700 or -800 mark when they know it's a for sure winner. And sometimes they will use another sure -400-800 to parlay it down a little. I have seen a few very profitable high rollers do this. That line he posted is not as ridiculous as some of you want to lead it on to be.
He could have easily risked 10,000 on that play and had a nice little pay day last night. He even provides a disclaimer for a last sentence telling you exactly what some want to be smartasses about.
First, I NEVER tell the amount of a wager that I place. Suffice it to say that it is more than some phonies like Red Eye wager in a year. He also knows what happens to him if I decide to find him, but why waste time on dog poop? Red Eye is a coward and a liar. I have called him out many times only to be ignored. I said that he is NOT a graduate of Oregon and he did not even dispute that.
You seem to have a good understanding of the idea behind such wagers. Most people in here do not, because most people in here (notice I said MOST) wager very small amounts, if they wager at all. People are afraid to lose money. If you wager like that, you will lose money. In here, you get your typical Bull S**t wagers that go like this: "I like team B Huge". First, what is the line and where did you get it? When did you get it? People in here will line shop to claim that they got a better line than they actually did. These are the phonies inhere, who either wager 5-10 bucks a game, or do not wager at all. This is many of the people in here. They simply do not have the money to become winners. You have to be willing to play big and willing to take an occasional loss to make good money and the truth is that 90% or more of the guys who claim to wager in here simply cannot afford to lose. That is why most people in here are losers. They are wagering not to lose instead of wagering to win.
If you have some money that you can AFFORD to lose (in case things go wrong) and want to try a system like this, go ahead. My rules are pretty simple. I normally play on away teams because away teams tend to take games more seriously than home teams do. You also get a better line on the away teams. Example: Michigan State is -17 on the road against Western Michigan and -700 on the ML. Kentucky is -17 at home against Lafayette, but the best ML you can find is -800. People believe that there is a better chance for a home team to pull off a major upset than an away team. That is wrong. Check the stats and you will find out that away favorites of 10 or more lose less often than home favorites of 10 or more do.
Next, you must play on a team that should win the game, even if they do not bring their "A" game or breaks go against them. TCU was a perfect example last night. They did not play well at all, but still had enough to win.
Finally, the less teams play each other, the less they know about each other. This is an advantage to the better team. Try to play away favorites in non-con games, if possible.
Good luck if you try this system. I normally play 10 games a season. That leaves 4 weeks that I can pass if I opt to.
