The season is less than a week old and your limits have been cut? What SHIT book are you playing at?

Whining pussies!

Nobody wants to take REAL BETS anymore.

Oh for the good old days. You could bet 30 or 40K in Vegas on a baseball side play without having to run all over town.

Come to think of it... I am not sure if you can get that much action now if you DO run all over town.

I made a prop bet at Caesars Palace for a dime and it took them 10 minutes to get it approved. I wish the mob would take back control.

10 minutes Chuck? I tried to make a $300 play on a season wins total and the guy told me that I had to do it when the supe was around and he was away at lunch at the time. Came back and he said that he was sorry I waited, but some "kid" had come in and bet 5 wagers for a dime each and his clerks didn't stop it so he limits these plays to $200 and one hit per person while he is away. It has indeed become a joke. Then again when the money was smarter, the lines were a lot tighter. These lines up at some places are like softballs but unfortunately the books only let you use a junior league wiffleball bat on them...

Are you betting correlated parlays? If you are, that is the reason!

Drunk: Yes it's correlated, see title of thread. That's why I bet them. I still have a few outs left.

Blue: You are judging results to quickly. One week isn't much time. I look for road fav's -1.5 and over, but I don't play all of them. It's not unusual to get 4:1 payoffs on it.

I don't like the dog +1.5/under as much, shorter odds, and you can lose in early innings.Also overs seem to be indicated early in the season. Playing the other way you are still live until the final out.

I could be wrong, but i think most places still take them.

OLY didn't take my test bet.
This probably comes as no surprise to the vets around here, though...
