Kewlj I would have no idea who you are even if we were standing next to each other at a casino cage in a line that hadn't moved in a half-hour because Mdawg was getting his RFID chips verified against his outstanding markers.
But I do have this question for Kewlj:
What name appeared on your death certificate?
(Sorry, couldn't resist.)
This isn't a competition kewlj. He deserves to be harassed for all the harassing he's done. He's really gone unpunished until now. Do you know why you think he's winning? Because you two lovers are allied. Your opinion ain't exactly unbiased.
All the harrasing he's done you never said a word. So don't give me any shit about Singer. Do you know, KJ, when you made up your mind about the DUB? I do. You had your mind made up about it long before you ever heard about it. It would kill you if it's true.
So I'm the one guilty of gay slurs? How many posts did you read of maxpen writing about 9 and a half inch cocks? You've read a hundred of them. Did you ever say anything to maxpuke about it. No the fuck you didn't. Have you been sucking maxpunk's dick? Is that why you show the favoritism?
This all started when maxpuke personally attacked me for my opinion on the DUB. It wasn't a light attack either. Then he kept it up. He fucking started it so quit blaming me for anything.
Now for all the homo shit I write about maxpunk? He started it first with the 9 inch cock bullshit. Did you jump on his ass about it. No the fuck you didn't.
You may not know it KJ, but calling a hetero man any kind of queer is a huge insult. Thats why I do it. Thats why maxpussy does it to me.I'm being as offensive as I can to an offensive piece of shit.
Why do I keep my mouth shut about Singer? That's a no brainer. You attacked me to, KJ, more than once, over the DUB. Said I was Rob's whipping boy. Bad mistake. So now I just sit back and watch Rob put the screws to you.
Talk about winning a feud. Rob just tears your ass up and it's funny as hell. So dont' look for me to jump in and save your ass.
LOL! Is this bitch triggered or what? Ol' maxipuke spending all day making meme's now. The fucker is triggered all to hell and back.
Back to your day job, poser pro. Porter to the restroom. Porter to the restroom. Theres shit on the floor in stahl number 3. And maxie, fill up the toilet paper while you're in there.
You are embarrassing yourself with your obsession. You're like one of those pink pussy hat wearing libs you can't stand. You are projecting your actions onto others. The only one I see whining and sniveling is you. There's like 2 or 3 posts of your's everytime I check back in. The only one triggered is you.
By the way it takes like 15 seconds to put some words on a picture. You provide all the necessary material. They write themselves. Kind of like this one....RIP
Ol' maxipad trying to figure out something, anything, that will stop me. He's so butthurt he's staying up late obsessing over creating meme's. Pathetic. But, you know, that's how these gayboy's are. He gets triggered so easily. Snivels like a little bitch. Now, now, maxie. Are you sure you are butthurt over what I wrote or did you get to much of that nine inch last night?
Anyways. Back to your day job. Porter to the pit. Porter to the pit. Drink spill in the carpet. Drink spill in the carpet. And maxie, dump the ashtrays while you're there. LOLOL!!
This is great !
Maxie's pussy hurts this morning. He's all butthurt because I haven't posted on Twitter in a few days. He covertly follows me over there using a different username. That's ol' cloak and dagger maxpussy for ya. Sneaky fucker.
Do you know how I know he follows me there? Did you see here recently that maxpussy made some references to my latest health issues. How did he know I was having some current health issues? About a month ago I was hospitalized with supraventriculartachycardia. Certain meds pulled me out of the danger and I'm fully recuperated.
I said nothing on VCT about my health issues. I said nothing on pokerfraudalert about my health issues. But I made one post on Twitter saying I was out of action for awhile because of health issues.
Then ol' maxiepunk made some comments on VCT like "get well soon, creep." Or something like that.
Now, here about six months ago, maxiepad made some comments about the debate between Walter Sobchak and I over on Pokerfraudalert. You know what that means, right? It means ol' maxie reads everything I write on PFA.
VCT, PFA, Twitter. The dude is obsessed with me. That and making meme's about me. The dude hasn't been so busy since he spent months surfing the internet trying to prove Singer didn't have a Newell.
And you can bet your ass he's DM'ing about me too. Behind the scenes. Talk about obsession.
War is not fought by anonymous people.
What goes on here is not war--its entertainment and trolling. Do you think a conflict-loving little weasel like max would have anything near the courage it would take to lie about and harass mickey if he used his real name? The most daring thing he's ever done is post a picture of a toilet seat built for midgets that he was so proud of.
Kew faked his own death because he had no other choice for someone who is a going-nowhere nobody and needs to live a concocted internet forum life for relevance and attention....and that pretend life started to fall apart. He also needed to make up that silly story about being "robbed at gunpoint by a thug". Real life isn't television. People don't point guns at others unless they intend to use them, especially thugs. My guess is kew just finished losing his rent money and felt obligated to share his version of why he was broke, thinking as his sorry ass always does that his "online forum friends" :) care half a shit about his "well-being".
Not sure why ANYBODY would mumble the word "kewlj" instead of his real name when standing next to him. That name is synonymous in online forums with "homo, liar, twit, neurotic, drama, attention, loser, and phony".
Every word you babble about me, further exposes just how jealous you are of anyone who has succeeded in making money from the casinos where you have failed miserably for decades. Carry-on, you sick, old man.

Come on half smoke, he didn’t say president of the US. I’d bet he’s interviewed at least 4 presidents. President of HOA, library board, museum, American legion etc.
It will be easy to get that information on Reagan and Queen Elizabeth. All u have to do is call the White House & Buckingham Palace.
They do keep logs and records of every interview from the 70s & 80s
You just need to call them and they will be happy to provide that for you.
Maybe, but I bet you'd have to pay through the nose via Freedom of Information Act.

Half smoke, shouldn't you be using hyphens instead of underscoring in your posts?
Half Smoke, you really should expand your reading. Like maybe the "Big Casino Wins" thread and the "Sports and Sports Betting" section of this site.
I understand your hesitancy to do so -- you'd have to scroll and hit a couple buttons; probably slower than your exhaustive googling.
Wait, I'll see if I can help you out.
Here we go: Posts 3764 through 3768 of the "Big Casino Wins" thread, continuing into Posts 507 to 509 in the "Sports and Sports Betting" section in the "Smart Money" thread.
I know, too much scrolling. You gotta train for this stuff. Googling by itself won't provide the proper training in research techniques. Work those fingers, baby. Do some eye exercises!
You youngsters -- I bet jogging around the block is out of the question, too, eh?
Oh yeah, discussion continued in 527-529 of the "Smart Money" thread, also. Anything to save you some "research," Half Smoke.
Half Smoke, I love you. You just gave me an excuse to dig up an old bio from "Who's Who in Sports Gambling" and post it here. Many thanks. People would think I was self-promoting if I just posted it with no provocation.
By the way, if you want some third-party reports of my handicapping records, you can look some up in the "Retro Road Trip" thread where mickey helped me post some pages from old McCusker Reports. If you want some recent results, I can point you to some folks who can verify what I've done. But you'd have to call them and give them your actual name. Let me know if you have any interest.
These aren't people from around the block or my cousins -- LOL. I'll provide a former CFO of a pharma firm, a former Boeing VP, and Mark Lawrence as starting points. PM me your name, and I'll get you on your way to doing actual research!
You can thank me later!
Just helping you with your research, Half Smoke. Here's that wayback link: https://web.archive.org/web/20101014...itysports.com/
RED I wanted to view your site but I don’t have Netscape Navigator on my IPad.
Just kidding, you know where I stand in regards to your credibility of your long history in the business.
As for the Derby….80-1? You and I know that happened once or twice a week at Penn National in the early to mid 80’s.
I know nothing about horses, but even I was flabbergasted. Not so much that the horse won, but that both the horse and the jockey came in unprepared. Unbelievable. Karen went on a long, wondrous rant this morning. The jockey had ridden in some cheap race Friday? Unreal.
Here's the scary thing -- the horse was 80-1 and was unprepared. Well, the logical conclusion is that it might be better than that if prepped. So that might make the remaining Triple Crown races unbettable because you can't bet ON this horse and you can't bet AGAINST it.
Nobody saw that coming. One of the offshores had a free contest. You have to pick the winner for one segment with its own prize pool. And you had to pick the last place horse for a piece of the other prize pool. If you got both right, you got a piece of a bigger pool. But you had to split whichever pool with all of the people who got it right. I'm waiting to see how many people accidentally screwed up their entry and put the horse they thought would be last as first. Because with a couple thousand people, you know somebody botched their entry...and that person probably won!
Watch the race again on youtube. Rich Strike was blocked by another horse halfway down the homestretch. He had to move out to the right to go around the horse then blast into first place. Unbelievable.
I regularly play the Ohio circuit. There is nothing that could have made me pick that horse. The Ohio circuit is pretty much as bad as it gets. The jockey is good in Ohio, but he is in Ohio for a reason. The trainer used to race here in Illinois and I know him through a mutual friend. He was decent at low levels but had other “interests” than racing. He used to have a lot more horses years ago.
I don’t think that horse will ever win another race—-triple crown or anything else.
There is a striking resemblance to the 1986 Kentucky Derby win by Ferdinand and Willie Shoemaker, weaving through horse to have the rail open up at the end.
100% correct. The horse was available for $30k in September and no one bit.
The right move is to walk away and take the stud money.
That said I wonder at what point do the stud fees go down on these KD winners with no pedigree?
Either way it’s the right move, but they may be gamblers.
WWSD?
That I do not know. But it seems unlikely as they travel in different circles. Trainer of the scratched horse is d. Wayne Lucas. His horse won the oaks on Friday. Lucas is 86 years old and 40 years ago was big like baffert and chad brown. He has made a mini comeback the last few years.
So it is possible they are friends, but after all these years everyone is his friend.
I had the pleasure to meet him a few years ago. Just say hello and he will tell you stories for hours. I could have sat there all night listening to him. The kind of personality I was not born with.

Yeah, that's a real Hall of Fame. You better make a few calls.
Boz, any comments on some of the folks listed? I know you're a fan of Feisty (yes, Sheldon, that was sarcasm).
Half Smoke, why do you feel it necessary to inject your opinions regarding things you know nothing about?
I don't think I'm making any Halls of Fame. In general, I don't handicap hoops, baseball, or hockey.
You realize I've been in "Tipsters or Gypsters?" and The Handicappers' Report Card and The Wise Guys Contest (invitation only) going back almost 40 years? The Wise Guys is invitation only. The only person on your leader board in The Wise Guys is Jim Feist. And he should be -- he is partners in the company that hosts The Wise Guys. Here's a link.

Not sure which link you're referring to or specifically what you are referring to. That's the thing about research -- you kind of have to explain what you're talking about.
Half Smoke is a flagship example of kids playing on the internet.
Here's some questions for Half Smoke.
1) How long did you research the subject? How much time did you spend?
2) When you googled, how many pages did you read? How many references?
3) Did you follow-up by researching what you found and cross-referencing? Did you call or email anyone regarding the handicappers listed? Did you track down expert opinions?
4) Did you call or email anyone who might be considered expert regarding the subject? If not, why not? Don't you want to know?
5) Did Half Smoke even read the McCusker Report listing posted in the Retro Road Trip thread, or did he skip reading anything that might support my credibility?
6) If he didn't read threads available here, why?
This is the problem with youngsters these days. They google, read what agrees with them, read the first two or three googled pages (which are delivered to you via algorithms not of your making), and then decide they know something or they have some grasp of the subject. They assume expertise where there is none. They think they "know" something about the subject or the person.
It's all ignorance, hubris, and narcissism.
For example, one could have checked the "Handicappers' Hall of Fame" listing Half Smoke provided and then called or emailed the top 10 people on it, "Have you heard of a Bob Dietz running something called Integrity Sports? He claims he's been doing it since 1980." And lo and behold, when you got to Jim Feist, he would have said "Yes."
But that kind of simple legwork is beyond Half Smoke. He's a googling expert, and he's content with that.
And finally, regarding numbers of games and significance.
While it's true that "anyone can get lucky for 120 games," the fact is that you are not dealing with coin flips. These are games of opinion. Strictly speaking mathematically, basic rules of probability do not necessarily apply. For example, if that NBA official who was snagged betting on games happened to go on a 20-2 ATS run, would it really be appropriate to say, "anyone can get lucky?" One can also see a particular culture valuing some elements of results more than another, so that lines can be skewed depending on the culture in which one operates, since lines are not designed to accurately reflect team abilities but are designed to balance wagering in a particular culture.
you say you're not sure which link I'm referring to_________????? - do you get stymied real often by the obvious - the link was in your post that I quoted__________this one________
https://web.archive.org/web/20101014...itysports.com/
bragging to everybody what a great capper you are but not making any picks to prove it
fucking pathetic
I would have respected it if you had made some picks even if you lost - I would have kept my mouth shut
but talking all this shit and making no picks____________naaaaaaaaaaaaah
.
The web archive post went to multiple pages (you have to click at the bottom of the page). Try the "Achievements" button. I know, takes some real intellect to do that.
The VCT posts gave explicit instructions for a week's worth of baseball plays.
And you think you know who Alan Mendelson did or did not interview?
Want to bet on that?
I really can't imagine what it must be like to write as an anonymous child, just saying whatever you feel like saying, regardless of what you know or don't know. Must have been a lot of participation awards in your youth.
If you all can't make money on the Dodgers and the Brewers in the next 3 days you should turn in your 12 dollar sports betting license.
Without looking at the schedule, I take it the Brewers are playing the Reds? LOL. Okay, now I'll look.
Huh. I'm surprised the Brewer line isn't higher.
You don't often see MLB teams that are -79 runs after 30 games. That takes some work.
P.S. By the above I mean I don't remember ever seeing it. Somebody check the history books.

That's 19 games and expect a whole lot more!
Every game they have won has been a win that covers the run line.
And the Reds are the complete opposite almost losing to the Run Line in every loss.
I told everyone to stay off the Reds/Pirates Game with the Run Line.... instead bet the OVER.
And guess what?
The Reds went OVER in all 3 games.
Whatever though.

What the fuck dude!! I said your sports bets were at an advantage because everything you do is at an advantage. You know the math for every thing you do. You responded that "no you were not an AP, but a gambler", saying "it was all about the action".
Then you got all bent out of shape because I repeated what you said. I know you are playing games. Everyone knows you are playing games. But don't get upset because I repeated WHAT YOU SAID.
Now if blackjack at whatever downtown casino you played last week is too slow for you, You should have been with me this morning. I am not going to say where (at least publicly) for obvious reasons, but a nice heads up game at 6am, 6 deck, with about 3/4 deck cut off (Probably a strong hint as to where) and a very co-operative dealer. We were flying through 7+ shoes an hour and at heads up that is 50 rounds per shoe. The relief dealer was slightly slower, but still a real nice couple hours with zero heat. The game was moving too fast for any heat. Massive EV and a pretty nice win to boot. Only thing I couldn't do was bathroom break or phone break out of some of the negative counts. When playing heads up if you take a break, the game will be waiting in that same spot. :D I don't think even YOU would have been bored with this game.
Two things:
1) Regarding monet proclaiming that he's not an AP, he's "a gambler." I have an acquaintance who served serious time for bookmaking among other endeavors, and he always, always argued that because he took positions on every blessed game (as opposed to balancing his books), he was "a gambler, not a bookmaker." He insisted that, and no amount of argument could convince him to change his mind.
2) If you're going to watch this movie again, one of Karen's friends is in the beginning of the movie. He's a ticket writer -- in the credits he's listed as "Lucky" something or other because that's what everybody called him for real. Anyway, he really was a ticket writer and was hired as a consultant, but he made a more believable ticket writer than the actor, so they used him in the scene.
Uhh... who is Karen?Quote:

Watching it again I realized this movie could never be made today.
For example the scene “Some of these stones got a lot of n***ers in ‘em. Tell Pepe if he’s switchin’ stones he’d better take a f@*kin’ camel back to Nigeria!”
re Alan's claim that he inerviewed four Presidents - this will be my last post on this subject - but here are quotes from Alan re his career at CBS when interviewed by the L.A. Business Journal:
"How did you like working at CBS News?
I was miserable. I wanted to be a reporter and a correspondent. But they wouldn’t let me.
Why did you finally leave CBS News?
When I broke the story that the Hunt family failed to meet their margin call for silver futures. I was the only one in the country who had it. But when I got back to the studio, they told me someone else was doing the story on the air.
How did you interpret that?
That I would never get on the air at CBS. That’s when I decided to leave. I thought, if I can’t get on television with this story, when will I ever?"
https://labusinessjournal.com/media/...ng/news-break/
.
Call me naive, but I don't see how the quote above is germane to Alan's claim to have interviewed four presidents.
Instead of implying this or offering oblique that, just make a wager. I'm sure with a few thousand sent along to Todd, the debate could be brought to a close.
I just don't see how it matters as far as this forum. This is a gambling forum, supposed to be on the topic of gambling discussions. I don't care of someone interviewed 4 presidents and an alien from outer space. I don't care if someone else claims to be a secret agent ala James Bond. Nor do I care if some member claims to have won the Nathan Hotdog contest, have been a 12 year old spelling bee champion, nor won 5 gold metals in the Olympics. That is all irrelevant to this forum and what the topic is supposed to be about.
Now the problem with Alan's claim is context. He basically threw it out there that he has interviewed 4 Presidents and I think a Queen, therefore we have to believe him about 18 y.o. in a row.
Ummm...no we don't! :cool:
Interesting find there, HS: it would imply that he never interviewed anyone on camera for CBS as by his own admission CBS refused to let him air any story himself.
It seems unlikely that the person doing the interview would not be the person delivering the live interview on the air: does not compute.
But I suggest you follow up with Alan's suggestion, then report back: "You can order the reports and transcripts from those three TV stations. I worked for CBS News from 1976 to 1981. My other years were with those TV stations plus Fox from 1987 to 1990. They'll have the interviews."
thank you Mr. V for the suggestion but I'm not going to do work to settle this
if I had made a claim such as this and people doubted it I would
but I didn't make any claims - just questioned some - so, as I see it, the onus is not on me to prove anything - also, it's much, much more difficult to prove a negative than to prove a positive
I imagine if you had interviewed four Presidents you would have made sure to have some pics of that to show your grandchildren, would have mentioned it in an interview with a newspaper about your career, and would have converted the interviews to a format that could be uploaded to YouTube so everybody in the world could see it
.
attention kewlJ - as many hundreds of times as you've gone off topic - it's strange that you would bash me for going off topic
I'm a guy who appreciates quite a few of your postings re BJ
but you fairly often make me wonder what's going on with you
.
Dear Half Smoke,
Do you think my entire interview with the LA Business Journal made it into print?
Your friend,
Alan
No, Half Smoke, I was suggesting you send the money to Todd to hold. You can make the wager with me, Alan, whomever. The courage of your convictions and all that.
Same goes for the "posting of pics." I've been in a public, invitation-only competition during football seasons called The Wise Guys for more than 30 years. So that's two games a week that were publicly available either through a national newsletter sold on newsstands throughout the entire country or online. That's 30+ years, public plays, two plays a week during football seasons.
Now, if you want to make a wager on the truth/falsity of that, again, ship along some cash to Todd. Courage of your convictions and all that.
Or just keep up with the anonymous blathering. I get it. You prefer to believe whatever you want to believe. Kids are like that.
Here you go, Half Smoke:
https://www.playbooksports.com/Vegas-Wise-Guys/
hey you, Mr. Moron - nobody gives a flying fuck about your Wise Guys bullshit that you've mentioned about 1,000 times here that nobody has ever heard of - I repeat you just brag here and make no picks here because you're chickenshit
I repeat, Monet would kick your chickenshit ass capping which will never happen because YOU will never make a wager or post a pic here
re Alan:
he mentioned CBS as a main place for me to start my research - like I'm really going to spend many hours researching this bullshit when if it was true he could very easily prove it
no consider this carefully Mr. Moron - think it thru - what chance do you think there is that CBS sent him out to interview a President or 2 Presidents when he wasn't even a reporter there_______________????
as quoted by his own words in a published interview
Reporter - "How did you like working at CBS News? "
Alan answers: "I was miserable. I wanted to be a reporter and a correspondent. But they wouldn’t let me. "
https://labusinessjournal.com/media/...ng/news-break/
.
No presidents at CBS. I was with the Queen when she visited Harlem and I was with King Juan Carlos when he was in NYC. I was the producer for the BBC and for a network in Spain but forgive me I don't remember the network. It might have been TVE -- Television Espana.
At the time I was a producer with CBS News Syndication which served international clients of CBS News.
I also produced election night when the CBC covered Carter's election. (CBC - Canadian Broadcasting Corp)
No presidents at CBS. But I also lunched with Paul Volcker when I was Vice President of the Economic News Broadcasters Association. I was president when I was at WTVJ.
My FILM is in the archives of CBS News.
Edited to add:
I'll save you some Google "research" time:

I dunno.
I had a miserable 18 days of pain in sports recently.
I was stuck 15k at one point and still stuck 8k now.
I did have a 3 day win streak since the Tampa Bay Sweep.
2 days ago I went 10-0 if that means anything.
8-0 in MLB and 2-0 in the NHL.
I didn't bet enough.
I never bet enough.
It's tough being a Fucking Pussy.
Perhaps the worm has turned.
I dunno.
I'm scared and scarred.
I'll be nice and give you all my picks for today.
Even though I'm mad at most of you and don't feel like sharing.
Just Kidding Pikachu's.
You all know that I don't give a Fuck and I Love you all... maybe not all but some of you.
Anyways...
Yanks Money Line if you are scared
Run Line if you are Brave.
If you are really Brave, welp, take the Braves with the Run Line.
Braves Money Line if you are scared.
What Color Sox do you like?
Red for me.
Fuck those Black Sox!
Same Situation.
Money Line if you are scared.
Red Sox -1.5 if you are Brave.
You may have to get on the Alternate Run Line depending on where you bet.
The game is Even Money Straight Up right now.
So if you are Rich you can bet the Farm on the Red Sox and not have to lay any juice currently.
Poor People, like most of you and me, have to Parlay this shit.
The Twins are a big favorite so you are forced to take the Run Line getting +115 currently which seems good to me.
You are getting a plus taking the Oilers on the Money Line so I like that at +135 or +130 currently.
And you have to take the Home Team in the Rangers/Whalers Series.
Hard to get off of that train.
Whalers Money Line at -150 so that's too much... take the Puck Line at +175 which just feels better.
Here, let me help you make this easier.
3 Teamer
Yanks
Twins
Red Sox
You decide if you want the money line or Run Line.
The Money Lines are low enough to bet them IMO but I always like the Run Line.
The Braves are my fourth pick so you have to be brave to bet them and if you go with the Run Line you get a nice +175.
I don't love the Rangers game.
I like the Oilers to close it out more so but Playoff Hockey is a different animal.
Home Teams have the advantage IMO.
Refs don't call as many penalties and the defense plays different.
Odd to see two teams blow a 3-0 lead in the playoffs *shrug*.
I like the Cardinals too but can't bet everything.
I'm staying off the Auto 2 Teamer of Dodgers RL and Cubs RL today.
The Cubs/Reds OVER 8.5 looks like a lock but no such thing as a lock.
If I win all these picks... you're welcome.
Bosworth put a wicked curse on me for the month of May.
Fuck that Rat!
I realize the prestige of "posting pics" on VCT far outweighs the clout and notoriety of having selections printed in a national newsletter named Playbook, which was available across the country for decades on all newsstands. I clearly made the wrong choice as to where to "post my pics."
For this, I deeply apologize. My reputation would certainly have been boosted far more by having Half Smoke monitor me via VCT. I have no excuses. I have never been much of a businessman or judge of expertise. Half Smoke, whoever he is, clearly is The Man.
And I would never allow monet to beat my ass with anything but a cat-o-nine tails. That would really turn me on, and then monet would have to fight off my advances, leaving our significant others to film the debauchery.
If anyone would like me to post pics of my selections from Playbook's newsletters, just let me know. Half Smoke, if you furnish a name and address, I'll be glad to FedEx them overnight. You the Man!
LOL. It must be brutal for those who've done nothing to accept that someone has done something. Just brutal.
Hey, Half Smoke, what have you been doing for the last 40 years? Why don't you provide your name so we can evaluate your doings? My brother-in-law owned a private investigating franchise. I'm sure we could publicize your adventures and accomplishments properly if you just provided a name. Don't be shy. I'm sure you're bubbling over with life experiences and gambling expertise.
I would like to state that I do post many sports picks beforehand.
Many times I post the picks with 7 or more hours to make a bet.
I post pictures of winners and losers.
It's not all prestige.
I admit when I lose.
Which is often.
I don't know many people that can post 5 and 6 teamers beforehand and show the tickets after the games.
Nor do I know many people who have hit 1200 dollar six teamers but I don't know many sports bettors.
And real bettors who are rich only bet straight bets.
I'm a phony.
But I am over 100k ahead in sports since the Smart Money Thread was created.
Believe it or Not makes no difference to me.
Everything on the interwebs is a lie.
6 Teamer today with all Puck and Run Line will net you about 207 to 1.
You can't go around to the Kiosks and bet 5 dollar tickets.
That would take all day.
And a month to cash all the tickets out if you hit.
And many Kiosks have a 1000 dollar win limit.
And the bigger books don't sweat 6 teamers that pay 167k.
They are more than happy to take the action.
Redietz, dare I tell the story about sleeping in the Queen's bed?
Okay, here goes:
When I was at WTVJ in Miami I was sent to Montego Bay with a camera crew to cover the Miami to Montego Bay yacht race.
Normally we wouldn't cover this but two yachts strayed into Cuban waters and were seized by Cuban gunboats.
We went to Montego Bay to cover the event. Cuba released the yachts after a couple of days.
We didnt have regular hotel reservations but the Montego Bay Yacht Club was nice enough to put us up. I stayed in the suite used by Royals when they visit. And I slept in the Queen's bed. Alone.
No, I didnt take a photo.
Anyone got an update on the score to this game??
No such thing as a lock... right... lol lol lol!?
Oooops, I was wrong.
The 6 teamer pays 246 to 1 if it hits.
And you don't need the Puck Line with the Oilers as the Money Line is a plus.
lol Top of the 6th Rain Delay... 5 Innings is Official, right!?
Oh yeah, 15 outs for the visitors if the home team is leading and if the home team gets 15 outs it is official no matter what.
Half smoke, what do you think redietz’ clients would think about him charging them a fee but giving you the picks for free?
It's pretty Evil to charge people for sports picks, in my opinion that is.
I live in a glass house though so I got to be careful with these stones.
As you have stated before, mickeycrimm, anyone can close their eyes and pick 50%.
Therefore they only need a little bit of knowledge to push them into winning territory.
But that is just my opinion.
Of course it can't be that easy as the Books are making 100s of Millions per year per joint lol.
Getting worse now as every state in the world is making sports wagering legal and even the announcers on games are promoting the odds on FanDuel lol.
It used to be Taboo for Sports Announcers to talk about gambling and the odds.
Except for the Greek and the Swami.
Well, if the handicapper works on percent of profit and the handicapper handles the money (think LLC), I don't see how anybody could argue with it. Especially if the people know each other and can verify that the handicapper is using more or less the same plays for everybody.
I have a serious question, monet, since I know nothing about baseball.
How can the Reds keep a guy batting .158 in clean-up? I mean, what the fuck? You've played 40 games. You would think you'd have to stop insulting the other players and put somebody else, anybody, in the fourth slot.
Hey... it was working for a couple weeks right?
They went 10-7 when I was betting against them lol.
They win today making it 11-7.
They are on a roll and I'm pretty sure the OVER is safer with this team but I expect a major losing streak again in the near future.
I really expect the Giants to destroy them but the Giants pitching matchups do have large ERAs going against the Reds.
I'll either be betting the Giants Run Line or the Over.
These Reds are going to get smashed from June 6th all the way up to July 6th.
You heard it here first.
It's gonna be a month of money raining down from heaven on me!
Take off a couple days against the Bucco's.
After that the Reds get smashed again by the Rays, Yanks and Cards.
Book It!
