So you found a book squarer than BoDog?

Reality of it is what you doesnt affect me and vice versa but posting a number that isnt available without posting vig is senseless.

If ur a bookie and you give out slanted numbers to people than ur posts should read as such.

2 wasnt available to my knowledge let alone you stating that and buying to 2.5

If it was an instance or two I dont think it matters but I dont think you play games at attainable numbers....you always get the best of it.

Everyone lost and pushed on the Celts but you seemed to win.

Post a book with ur line if its so much better all the time....**** tell me who it is so I can sign up with em.

In the end what I am trying to say is posting plays at numbers that arent available defeats the entire purpose of posting.

I know another board I look at sometimes actually tells people to post available numbers.

This isnt a direct rant towards you because the reality of it is that if I didnt enjoy ur posts and picks I would never open ur threads to begin with.

PEACE

South Florida +4.5, Arkansas +13, Vandy yesterday at 9.5, Kansas St +5, Kings +2.5

Shit is out of control if you ask me.....I call bullshit on getting these lines.

Why isnt WCI in here

Uhm, I got 1.5 at bodog when I placed my bet . . . So, no, not everyone who played on the Celtics pushed or lost.

Hence the phrase squarer than BoDog.....I know BoDog was 1.5 but 2 was posted in this thread. And Im not just referring to this game......every game he posts is an off line.

Either A. post the vig B. cite the book or C. say he is booking the action

We all catch a good or bad line very once in a while...nobody gets unavailable lines every play.

And I know he doesnt do this for attention because ive followed his posts for tons of time and I know he doesnt hype picks either.

I'll clarify again I think hes a solid poster and 95% of the time those extra points dont come into play anyways but in the end its more annoying than anything else posting what I see are unavailable lines. It defeats the purpose of posting IMO.

what do you want me to not post anymore?

I have stated before I DO BOOK some of the F'n plays I post. are you happy now? I set the lines higher MYSELF when i know i will get certain action one way so i get a slightly better line.

I have always told people get the best line possible, normally the extra half point or so doesn't matter, and when it does so the **** what? I am up A TON of units the past year or so.... so take away a Handful because i work my ass off to get slightly better lines.

guess what? i am still up + money regardless.

i am not doing people a disservice by posting my plays, it is quite the opposite and I have gotten plenty of feedback on AND off the forums that I have helped ppl make some money with some of my picks.

also sometimes i play them myself and buy a half point or more, and i DO include the vig in these wagers.

i find it a bit ridiculous that you come and call me out, now that I am on a good streak. I sense a bit of jealousy from you that I may start to get a small following (again not something I care about or am looking for--- but the fact is I know there are some people who look for my plays)... and maybe you aren't getting enough attention yourself?

i know you did state i don't do it for the attention. so i answered your question and sorry got a little carried away at being called out when I am doing a service by posting these... many of my plays are fades of a few players that I give the bad lines too.. if you follow these plays I post you will be well in the +

No different than if I was someone playing with a local hunting for slightly better lines that could be found online. except I am "the local" book and set my own line slightly higher.

I mean Bodog had +1.5... I liked boston to win but obviously if you couldn't of gotten +2 at any online book anywhere at anytime (I don't know maybe it was up at 2 somewhere I am not sure I didn't look everywhere).

But you could get +1.5 and either decide on your own to play that or buy up to +2... or +2.5, whatever you felt like. Either way at any of the numbers you would of won money today and thats all I/we are here for.

Youve been on hot streaks before posting available numbers.

As far as attention goes I know you dont do it for that. As far as me getting attention if I wanted I can get it easy.....I can be the master of hype if I wanted to go that route because I have done it in the past.

Just recently you started posting numbers that werent available and its not a random occurence...its on every single game you post.

If you dont to post vig, site books, or say its you booking action as a reasons for citing lines that arent available that is your perogative. I just think it reduces credibility.

What I think or what you do has no bearing on either of us in the long run anyways and take my word the only reason I am saying this in your posts is because I respect them.

Take it how you want.....Ive said what I have to say. Hope you dont take it as an attack.

PEACE
