I remember calling the bookie for the latest lines in the morning and me and my buddies would study the USA today. We would make our picks and call the bookie back. Of course, by then the lines had changed.

We figured out that before placing the bet, we would have to ask for the line again; but you would have to be careful what you ask for: If you wanted San Antonio over Houston, you would have to say: What's the line on Houston? - then bet on San Antonio and vice versa; otherwise you would get screwed by a point or so....

Then, of course, you'd have to change it up so he didn't catch on to the game. What a drag that was.
