If you post all of your plays, those plays will be profiled and categorized, and a year from now, other people are going to know how and why you are winning more precisely than you do.
You just cannot do that without camouflage or cover or you risk self-immolation. The way to provide cover in terms of sports books is to try to middle games, so the volume of money devoted to trying to middle the games is on par or dwarfs the actual plays. But to do that without wasting money requires anticipating line moves and shopaholic skills.
Another Great Post from you!
You really have been on a roll for the last week or two.
And this post makes me want to close my account and never post on gambling forums again and never post another sports pick.
However, there is one problem.
I'm not doing anything.
My handicapping strategy is the Tin Cup Strategy.
GRIP IT AND RIP IT!
Therefore, nobody and I mean nobody is going to figure out what I am doing because I'm not doing anything.
I look at the board and I just know who will crush who.
It certainly doesn't always work.
And I was on an UnGodly Run for two weeks in April.
You guys didn't see all the 2 and 3 Teamers I hit because the NHL Favorites were constantly covering over that span and the Dodgers covered the run line for 8 out of 9 games.
And I was too busy winning to bother to come in here constantly and post and I didn't want to take the time to scan all those winning tickets just to prove a point.
Way too much leg work for me.
So worry not Pikachu, nobody will figure anything out or shut me down because its all just Fucking Throwing money at shit and see if it sticks.
What could happen is the Casino tracks my wins and decides they just don't want my action for whatever reason but I doubt that would happen with the major players.
In any case your post certainly is food for thought.
Rockies/Reds OVER covers by a half a point as they scored 11 total.
