THE SHRINK`S prediction. How much money will now be wagered on.....

[Journeyman]

His BOLD PREDICTION?

The largest Sports Gambling Website in the World and the largest wagered event in the World.

How much money did he just shift towards his "Lock of the Decade"?

A. Over 1 million
B. Atleast 500K
C. Big Dollars went the 'other way'
D. Not much at all

 

[dogball]

Good question Jman as a lot of cynics think ken posts plays looking for an advantage on the number the other way. I am not one of them but it is certain that some posters will follow this for sure

 

[Dante]

A. OVER 1 MILLION.for my MAX bet of 75$

 

[THE SHRINK]

dogball and others,

You have my permission to ask Pinnacle, Rio, and Jazz who I bet on The Superbowl...

I took the Pats minus 6 1/2 flat at all 3 shops for large sums of money...

Furthermore, it usually takes MUCH more money to move the number in a SUPER BOWL compared to any other sporting event...

Lastly, I have said this before but not everyone seems to get it.

There are no Professional middlers in Football left in Vegas!!

They have all gone broke...

As a general rule, it is DUMB to middle Football, period...

Good luck to all,

THE SHRINK

11/10 this better win

KEN
I wish you luck and have no interest in doing that, I am not a cynic and do not think you would do that. It is just an intersting point the power someone in your position can have.
Thanks
Sincerely
DB

I did quite nicely, thank you, middling (and siding) football this year. I don't think it was dumb in the least. As a general rule, it all depends on what numbers/odds you get. Though I will confess hoops is clearly more profitable.

Shrink is right, the middlers went bust, many sharps went bust with them, most LV shops all went clone & low limit, Offshore is where the cowboys are(but has but a few real chiefs, mostly followers), also the changing rules & game dynamics , sports on tv's waning sex appeal, plus most importantly the "windows" to land middles dried up, leaving 'lil value.

I'm no totals player, and am out of the loop now, but I assure you that the Artie B's of the world, aren't out there with all of their might trying to frame every side of the NBA board all day long, even in this day and age of reduced vig...It may appear so at times, but one must keep in context how many people's money is being moved by most movers.

Without winning at an alarming clip with "being in the know" sides to fund chasing middles..it's a surefire recipe for going broke..I've seen countless stories in person.

Game's changed(much like Wall St from '80s-'90s excess to the present day)..it's back to the basics..looking for spots of value!

Middling is dead...???

What planet are some of you on...

 

[Horseshoe]

Not dead, but on life support in comparison to it's former glory.

Shrink

What you think of the UNDER First Half and UNDER in the Superbowl game??

I was leaning on hammering that..plus a little on Pats spread

Ivan,

I normally bet many more "underdogs" and "unders" when wagering...

However, in this years' Super Bowl, I really love the favorite, those New ngland Patriots...

As far as the TOTAL is concerned, I am not sure I'll be betting it but at this time, I lean towards the "OVER," including the first half prop you mentioned...

THE SHRINK

 

[truthteller]

Shrink,

I have made tons of $$$ on the few picks you gave in the past. I will go on NE this year too although I was leaning on the Panthers.

 

[crazyivan24]

Don't worry I'm already on the Patriots...but will play UNDER as well..

 

[Fezzik]

Re: Middling.

I'm sure the folks at Aces Gold would be happy to let all know that some Middlers make VERY GOOD money playing the NFL.

 

[zackzk]

lol..don't let his post sway you. Use your judgement to make your own pick and forget he even put up that meaningless post.

Shrink is an internet version of Don King.
He doesn't give a shit about the bettors. He milks money from stiff books and promotes them. Now he comes out with his lock to gain attention. If he loses, like millions of others was wrong on his SB pick. If NE covers, he seems like a genius
..big fvcking deal.

Instead it be nice if he put an extra effort into helping us get paid.
