Free 1/2 point if player bets every game, all sports

gferg · Dec 9, 2003

Gentlemen,
Someone has come to me with a proposition. They will play every game on the board if I allow them a free 1/2 point off my number. Is this a losing proposition?? Also if someone calls me every time there is a major line move in DB Premium and wants to play at the old number, is it ok to write the play at the old number or try to get some of the move???
Thanks
Guy

You should be able to make money do this. Three recommendations though:
1) Take the bets only on the morning of the game. If the guy is sharp, he could get several games moving in his direction.
2) Don't let him have the 1/2 point on/off key numbers.
3) Make sure that you set reasonable limits w/ him to make sure there's not too much disparity in his bet size. You can't let him bet $5 on one game & $5,000 on the other.

As for holding the line on DB screen, that's a big loser for you.

Hope this helps.

Never give the old # and if you do let me know where I can send some postup money.

What Old said, also make sure he bets them all at the same time. None of that doing it here and there throughout the day stuff.

All bets for the same amount too.
