Brandon Lang interview:
The question I'm asked most frequently is: "How do you make your picks?"
For me, the daily process never wavers. I always start by examining the opening Las Vegas line. The first thing I look for is the "bad" lines; that's where you make money. A bad line, in its simplest form, is one where there is a difference between what I feel the betting line should be for a particular contest versus what it actually is on the Vegas board.
look out for the bad lines
With March Madness descending upon us, let's look at college basketball first. I can always find bad lines in games involving teams from the smaller, lesser-known conferences. It's simply impossible for oddsmakers to be on top of every game.
Perfect example: tiny Northwestern State. No, not Northwestern of the Big Ten, but Northwestern State out of Louisiana and the tiny Southland Conference.

The words of a mush....
I'll often find teams playing three games in four nights, and sometimes four in five. My job as a handicapper is to spot these situations and evaluate whether the oddsmakers have adjusted the line accordingly.

Mush a la' fag:
Bottom line: When the public moves the line, go the other way.
Listen, handicapping is not always this cut and dry. There are a myriad of factors I consider everyday when analyzing games. Do it for as long as I have, and you'll run into the same mistake replayed over and over again. And that's the difference between me and the amateur, three-times-a-week gambler. This is my livelihood, and I spot these mistakes.
Over the course of the year, I will consistently put my customers on the right side of games.

Could this be construed as a death threat, wishing someone death by choking on a dick?
I mean even the Rubber Room has rules, it says so right on the front... "Serious disease and death wishes =automatic ban."
Can I get a ruling on this from a MOD? :lol:
:lolBIG: True story. In the late '80s, there was a serial murderer in Miami who killed about 20 street prostitutes by forcing them to deepthoat his abnormally large/long cock. The women would literally choke to death on the guy's hog. For the longest time, police were stumped as to the real cause of death for the street whores. Not sure if he was ever caught.
So I concur with the Pimpster's concerns here. For the sake of this thread and the Rubber Room in general, let's get a ruling ASAP!
GGZOLA is eagerly waiting!

It looks like our chances of getting a video Saturday morning are slim. Lang for a second straight day gives out a Bonus Play where there isn't even a line on the game. If Lang starts selling his selection by 10:30 in the morning there is no doubt he'll pick Michigan State. There are only 5 betting lines out on the 16 college games for today. Does anyone realize that Lang has abandonded the NBA. He hasn't given out an NBA selection in over 2 months. If I hit 36 percent on my plays like he has in 2012 I'd go back to the NBA. At least he's due to win his first game of the year there. He's 0-4 on the year in the NBA I think. Imagine what we have to look forward to in a couple weeks when he starts picking NBA games after not following the sport for over 3 months? Ha ha The Michigan State Spartans have been the best team to him this basketball this season and IMO he'll roll with them as a small favorite over Wisconsin for today's pick. This is as public a play as there is. If this is his selection wait as long as you can because this line could steam all the way up to +4.5 for Wisconsin. Lang is 29-50-4 in 2012 and down almost 440 dimes. If he hadn't won his Super Bowl and five straight 75 dimers he might be down almost 800 dimes on the year. Lang will go down when it's all over as the worst handicapper in the world. He's got to be suicidal right now after 8 straight losses. I can't wait to log on to my Wells Fargo bank account this morning, I haven't made this type of money gambling ever and I've been at it almost 30 years.
Yep I think Lang throws out at least a 75 dimer and maybe a 100 dimer so he can tout it's his biggest release of the year in College Basketball. Budin will tell him to put out a huge play and it will sell. Budin knows a few faders will buy it because he's been the "COOLER" in March 1-8 and on a 0-8 run. If Lang only knew that even what he thinks is his one friend Budin the shit Budin is talking about him behind his back.
