Second, whether something is a "yarn" is largely in the eye of the reader. If a reply of roughly 150 words is considered "rambling," and whether such a story is "implausible," -- the words in quotes come from dictionary definitions of the word yarn -- is something that only a reader can decide.
Third, again, whether someone is "backed off" has more to do with the profile of what they are doing, not whether they have won or lost. For example....you know what, I'll save examples for a podcast.
Thanks again, coach, for your time. I'm trying to limit my responses to 150 words so you don't find them onerous or a "yarn."
It's unbelievable that you think being limited to a buck fifty is not a back off. They are telling you to go fuck yourself. No pro is going to waste their time in that spot. Furthermore getting limited like that is a common theme amongst all professional sports bettors but YOU. They work around it by using other people's accounts then burn those accounts down anonymously and advertise for more accounts. It's a revolving door.
I remember some years ago an NFL playoff game we were is discussing on VCT where the books had Pittsburgh either a 6.5 or 7 point dog. But I bet the game on Bovada getting 7.5 points. You told me that you had accounts at 11 offshore books and none of them had the line at 7.5. I had to tell you that Bovada had that line as you didn't have a Bovada account.
But the point is that you said you have 11 offshore accounts. How have you been able to beat those books for all that money without being limited to chickenfeed betting or getting your accounts suspended? Every other sports bettor of note says it's impossible to get away with it that long. Have you been beating those books for all these years without them taking action against you? If you have then why are you getting special treatment?
PS: Even the sharp books like Pinnacle and Circa that take wiseguy action cap the betting on them.
So let me get this straight. You think that I think that getting a $1.50 limit is "not getting backed off." LOL. Did you even grasp the gist of the post? By coach's standards, is the point, you're not banned, so it doesn't match the warning email from bet365.
I love you guys. You definitely should be posting in "professional sports betting." When I warned kewlJ, more than a year ago, about being "labeled a certain way," what did you think I meant? That "non-recreational" label is the classic go-to these days. The criteria for that are completely subjective and amorphous, so the books have maximum latitude, which they always have had, anyway. They dictate the rules, and they can make them up as they go along. But now they have go-to lingo.
Yes, I did get hit with a $1.50 futures limit on a golf future. Or something like that. May have been $1.27 or $1.33. It was Sergio Garcia, by the way. Coach you can reasonably fault me for a shaky memory on the precise amount. I'm getting old. I'd have to double check.
And mickey, you have no idea why people take or don't take money. You just do not get it. Unless you are betting Billy Walters amounts, and no one is, there are very sound reasons to allow this or that. I can't believe you don't get it. Expertise is insurance of a sort.
And I'm telling you, if you use that multiple account schtick, the offshores can and will keep your money. They are not exactly incommunicado with each other. And then big chunks of your work, and your alleged edge, go out the window the first time an offshore gobbles up 10% of your bankroll for funsies and you have no recourse. Ask Munchkin about the worst hit he took in this regard.
Here you go -- ask Todd what happened when he initially tried to open a Heritage account. What does he think Heritage was doing, and why would they allow some people (me included) to operate with impunity? If you think it was because I was losing money, you got it ass-backwards.
LOL. Mr. Crimm, you are the proverbial kite dancing in a hurricane.
