Tony Stewart telling his dad this week that he would not sponsor his 3/4 midget racing team no longer after this year.

Talledaga may pay you back for this one.

How much money did Tony just sign for?

Mr. Shrink,

Yes 2 1/2 -150 becomes an outrageous #, but if you were a BM, and had options of raisng the 2 1/2, or breaking to the # 3, what would you do...This is easy, of course being a Monday morning QB after the game falls 3...
The book in Q is in a tough position here..
We've seen what happens when you break to 3...

that's why Monte went broke...he got sided for gazillions..
Obviously you have never been on other side,
Before the game, even knowing final score...
I would bet the game + 2.5, and beg for + 135, vs taking + 3 -110...
I think they were right,if they moved to 3 flat or 3 dog 20, no buyback, and if they did, lost the same amount, there is a better chance of buyback if you allow the pros to play with you at a better + money.....
If I saw and had access to that price, I would have bet the dog, just a small play if I had no interest in game originally...but if I like dog, would have taken 2.5 + a lot of money, vs + 3 minus money

Just me

BT

So they may have made a mistake originally
at 2.5, but when you do, you must live live the price...

With all due respect, Monte did not go broke for that reason alone. People who know him well would argue that his main problem was not gambling, but something else...

Now I do understand your argument from a bookmaker's perspective, but being a gambler, I would NEVER bet into a 2 1/2 minus 50 line when 3'a are available all over the place.

Fort Knox did this a lot and look at where they are now...

Shrink,

Point is taken, me, if I had options on game,
and it kills me,I + 2.5 + 130 vs + 3 ( pick the price )

I think the office in Q received a buyback on game,
where if they went to 3, received no action

I, as you know the value of 3, much more than years
ago, but hasn't it become over-valued..

Why isn't the entire board 3, with money added..13,14 excepted

I wish now I had that -2.5 but at that price I would have moved up to 1.65 ML. In the long run though you will be broke betting into lines like that. +3 was the play, and if the A-Holes didn't blow a f&*king 17 point lead it wouldn't matter.

H,

Again, it's an eay call AFTER the game,
+ 130 I probably would have passed,+135 probably
would have gotten me...
That being said, I had ZERO interest in THAT
game, but if I did, I would like 2 play at + a bet and a half, for a pretzel..I would have helped pay the winners...NP, would rather play
with the BM vs fade...plus money...count me in...I'm a sucker

BT

ps..put the game back up, +2.5 and + 140 for
me, you got me, I'll play....

Man I hope they go for 2

BT
