Out of the 16 games 3 had slight leans moneywise and all covered. Of the other 13 which all had significant moves 8 covered although 2 won by 1/2 Pt which wouldnt have covered at the new number. As I said earlier, The Books have a good handle on these Games regardless of what people think and paying the extra vig (although won 2 games yesterday) long term is folly. :drink:

I would never pay that "extra vig". Always normal -110 or less.
Scalping is a whole different ballgame though and you have to
be fast on the keyboard to reel in those bananas. But just like
basketball & football points after a while those bananas add up.
Unless of course one has a pet monkey on the loose.

Spot on as usual X, yes those banana's do add up but like any betting proposition its all down to how much time one is willing to spend and the return. Personally the only scalping I find productive timewise is on outright markets and I can make £10 a day on place markets on Betfair for 1/2 Hrs work but I do find that sometimes that 1/2 Hr interfers with my main betting. The main thing I've realised over the Years is its very easy to get sucked into sitting at the PC all day doing this that and the other, and although they can be all profitable, time is money and your health is priceless, so one needs to get away from it on a daily basis, therefore eliminating time consuming exercises is essential.:drink:

I have to concur...recently for example ive been glued to the PC like
wet on rain...to the point that the old arse is telling me she's not
happy...i refer to my derriere...not only that but this may have an
unfortunate effect on the itchy ballsack system. Could be time to
check into gamblers unanimous for todays fades. :drink:
