I Pay Heavy Vig: Come Out Of The Woodwork

winbet · Mar 15, 2008

One of the biggest jokes on this Forum is how Posters talk about buying points and paying heavy vig on a Game. Its no contest that talking shit about this Vig and buying that shit will make posters look like they have a clue what their talking about but truth is, its all bollocks.

Lets look at the mentality and logic of this, as a Book all you need to hook a Dope is make him think He's smart, so give him the chance to buy a 1/2 pt at a premium or basically, give him anything He wants. The Books know that any bollocks who needs to buy a 1/2 Pt has no confidence in their Selection and is a square so lets drill the bastard while were at it.

The bottom line in what I'm saying is, if the Books are offering a price on something out of the ordinary then its to trap a dope. when you want to go outside the normal Side/ Total, take extra care that you have a real good reason to do so. :drink:

ah, but any extra vig has to be worth it when you're dealing with key numbers, no?

Goodcall, your too smart to argue with. Personally the vig on Key numbers doesnt concern me as I only bet + vig, there's enough games nowadays and with exchanges there is no reason to take minus Vig on anything, believe me the difference at the end of the Year is staggering. :drink:

I routinely buy points and half points, and I don't have a goddamned clue as to what I'm doing. So there's Exhibit A right there for ya.

winbet, I really enjoy reading your posts. Not many people seem to concentrate on this stuff. I just wish Matchbook had more volume.

I just finished the College Basketball Season laying bets on the exchanges about level but actually went 42% so you can see how vig can kill you Dopes.
Of course I had to work a bit at that but you know what I'm saying. :drink:

Skins, I log every bet/lay I do and I've had 79 Total Bets on the NBA this year and bought all to +vig and not once has the buy come into play. :drink:

You mean paying 25 cents to buy from -3 to -2.5 in the NFL isn't a good thing to do???

QL,
I'm sick of your posts that feature your avatar as My Eyes are not what they used to be and I get a Headache squinting at that ass. Can you blow it up to a point where I can smell it. :drink:

Not good choices as Tyrone is after the County in Ireland where basically all the Trouble in Northern Ireland starts, its common knowledge here nobody names their kid Tyrone and Tia Maria is asking for that kid to have the piss taken all their lives.

Of course I know your only joking as your too smart but people do take on board literally what you say so I just posted to make sure they know your joking. :drink:

It is more important to reduce your vig than it is to get the best #. There are only 2 or 3 situations where it is correct to pay 10 cents for a 1/2 point. Good Luck

doubledeuce22 · Mar 15, 2008

i've been looking at this angle recently-

i think i'd be better off betting everything at full point the other way, but playing at +110ish. is this where you are going with this winbet, or am i a 'wanker'?

JohnnyB · Mar 15, 2008

Books wouldn't sell points unless they're getting the best of it. If a half point is worth 7 cents they'll sell it to you for 10, etc.

TomGshotput · Mar 15, 2008

Any time I can find a situation where I am effectively selling points at the same rate that the book sells them I play

No reason to make a man go to another thread to find what he needs. I'll just paste it in here. After all, we can all use a little culture in our lives.

Here is a picture of the Pont Neuf Bridge in Toulouse, France.
