Free 1/2 point on every game

gferg · Dec 7, 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

Personally, if you allow a free half point on EVERY game to anybody with a half a clue, you will be wasting your time and money, especially if he is the only one your dealing to. The games on 3 would be the start of your decline.

By the way, welcome here to THERX!

GFERG..

What you are talking about we call..A SHEET SHOT..very tough to beat..

The player must have another gentlemen who also gives him the same deal..This way he gets off on both sides at a advantage..Any game that lands this way he wins both sides..

The player must bet the games early, and all at once, not peacemeal..This gives the book some advantage, but the player overall has the advantage..

In closing, over the years i have never earned with this deal..The 1/2 point is huge, especially if you are paying flat juice..
