to hard to post as lines and vig move to fast. A good line might only last 1 minute!

A unique way to hedge

. I assume you mean Suns and Grizzlies. I am going to have to root against you since I somehow ended up with a bet on Griz +5.5. Also have the middle from there to 8, but would rather just win the straight play as is more than I got on middle attempt

I am trying Detroit +1.5 and Washington +3.

Hitman26 · Feb 1, 2005

You want me to list all of them?

TheGeneral+ · Feb 1, 2005

Sure, it will bring you luck hitter.

wantitall4moi · Feb 1, 2005

There were a lot available if you took some leads that is for sure.

Mich St had to be the prime one. They were +120 this mornning, Il closed -105. So 15 cents right there. I got 118 and 105, so i didn't get the apex

.

One that I didn't get was Drake +100. ( I see one place that had Drake opening+105, but my print out shows +100) Ill St is now +135
There was also a small simultaneous scalp on Miss/Fla of -135/+140. But at Pin with a lead you could have -132, and now they are +151 on the Fla side.

So for a short night some nice scalps. Obviously these scalps mean small middle shots. But I try not to middle too much.

As for the NBA I don't bet it, and unless it sticks out, like last night Spurs/Sonics game, I don't notice...

wantitall4moi · Feb 1, 2005

Maybe I should be looking at the NBA/ Also looking into the half time stuff, looks like some pretty sweet shots right there for sure.

Are those simultaneous odds or did you have to take some leads?

Hitman26 · Feb 1, 2005

Took 2 leads and they weren't good. LAL 1h, as you can see I don't have a good deal there, same with Milw 1h. The rest were simultaneous but not for long

TheGeneral+ · Feb 1, 2005

Thanks for sharing Hitter.

GL

wantitall4moi · Feb 1, 2005

sweet, I don't bet the NBA, rarely even look. But maybe I will . I wouold definately have to open up a couple more accounts. Something I will not do for at least a month after the SB. Polish middles buy backs are the worst, but it is only a one result deal. Won't comment as to the jinx factor in that one tho :103631605

TheGeneral+ · Feb 1, 2005

I wonder if scalpers and middlers make up at least 4% of that 5-7% of the population that are longterm winners?

5-7%??????????????????????

What figure does that represent?

wantitall4moi · Feb 1, 2005

General I would say they make up all but maybe 2 or 3 players in total, not just percentages points.

I don't think anyone wins long term betting one way. But I would concede that maybe two or three people in the world could.And then I think they would have to have info on some fixed games as well, and no enough to not get greedy and stick to the plan.
