guys need a little encouragement

this is a true story. A guy i play golf with says that their is a player that bets
nearly every game on the board every night and rarely has a losing week.

About three weeks ago this scenario was brought to me and i say said bullshit, if you do not want to hold his action i will. He has bet every night and
bet almost without a doubt every game on the board both in ncaa and nba. My friend said he had a 'power ratings system" i paid him 253 the first week,
758 the second and 1592 this week..........what a the odds of a player playing
this many games over time and winning? Today he is 4-15 and i see a little money coming....Wouldn't most guys on here hold this kind of of a player?
today he has 31 games at 200 a piece and he is 4-16 after pitt
have a good weekend, ga

Assuming you are getting +110 on all of his bets hell yes I would keep booking him. If you get nervous you can always lay off the action for less than -110 at an offshore book(assuming you've got enough in several accounts). I don't think it's possible to beat every game on the board laying -110 unless he's getting much better than market closing line on most of his action(not likely).

What lines are you giving the guy and how early does he place his action?

If he bets like this all the time, I would estimate you would you would win over 5 figures a year.

You could make a living just off booking this guys bets...

he really is not beating to the line move. I give him all the lines at 5:00 from
scores and odds.com and if he wants to leave one i let him leave me a message. He plays usually plays all forty games at once.

today is the first day that i was so mad, i faded all his games with my offshore
accounts. I have finally had one hell of a day, ga

And this is even more key, giving him lines that have already moved all day long.

guys, this is what i thought as well......

The only problem is that my friend booked him 8 weeks straight without a losing week and i have been a partner for three week....Tonight may be the
turning point.....I'm not scared at all, i would take 100 players betting like this

This guy is going to lose sooner or laters, no question. The only question that i have is, is this guy a dog player or a chalk player, r does he mix em up?
Another thing that might help you in this case is to HOLD the numbers up until at least one hour before post time and then let him bet the card. Those numbers at that time have been Trampled on ALL day and should be in line. There could be some late steam of course, and if so, make him lay or take the worst of the number.
Naturally Split line on Saturday...Day games first, then the night geams at about 5 central.

If this guy's layin -110 he's stoooopid and literally costing himself thousands by not playing most of the action offshore.

I don't see how you can lose with this guy long term as he seems like an action junkie. I guess he hasn't lost enough to have to give you "bail out" size bets, maybe he always will just keep the same bet size, but I doubt it.
