Sorry guys if this maybe belongs in the Tiger woods thread, but ....

I've asked Matchbook to have an x-bet setup for the # of whores, err, women, that come out between now and 12/31/2009 @ 12 noon eastern time that claim to intimately know and/or say they have had relations with Tiger's tiger.

I want to set the mark at over/under 18.

Nobody's gotten back to me yet on this. I think we can "be the book" on this prop and make some serious jack and have a great vig in it for us.

Any thoughts on making this work?

Do we trust you ?

I only was able to match $10, surprised I got that.

<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr class="evenrow"><td>Buffalo at Niagara</td><td>Point Spread 10.0</td><td>Buffalo 10.0</td><td align="right">-101</td><td align="right">10.10</td><td style="color: green;" align="right">10.00</td></tr></tbody></table>

MB is not good for early lines, and that's your style in CBB. However betting your picks the next day can work there. You often get a half point to a point worse, but at like +105, instead of -110.

I had to toss out:

Wash St -4.5 ( went to -6.5)

I'm trying to get Buffalo +8.5 +103 ( smaller).

The rest of your picks work at MB today.

No 1st halves there.

Greek or BM should be used by your followers to get your lines, but I'm willing to sell some points, or pass a play.

Betjam is useless for overnite.

No reason to trust, no reason not too.

Although i've been here a bit I've done nothing to show I should be trusted. Maybe we can nominate one of the MODS here to make the call.

I really think we'd get some interest in this, but hey, thats just my opinion.

thanks for the feedback.

I just don't like the grading criteria for X-bets, as it is totally up to the originator of the bet.

There are bets there where you have no clue what the bet is, basically a private bet, so I can see why MB can't grade them.

What happens if you something happens to you, like :

prison
death

or something ?

or in this case, it's totally your judgement as to how many Ho's qualify.

too much grey area, IMO, to make anything but a token bet on it.

It's really not much different than betting directly with you, since you grade the bet.

That post is right.... I know the girls are going to get attention now... But it's not going to be big news 2 weeks from now if 20 girls come out.. plus what if some of them turn out to be lies.... what if one tells the local paper in Montana that she slept with woods.. how do you keep count..

there is simply too much gray area

Yep, Defying, this prop is flawed, and can't really be bet, for many reasons, esp. with a grader that may not be impartial.

Any number of Golddigger Bimbos can make a claim to fucking Woods.

I think waiting for MB lines is kind of a wash on most of your picks. I know you've won/lost an awful lot of games via the hook, but I think that will change.

Take Providence +2.5 -110, I get +2 +104.

The 2 is a key number, but I think +2 +104 is superior to +2.5 -110, I'm rather sure it is better, in fact.

MB offers eliminate the vig, that is worth easily a half point, and nearer to a full point, IMO.

But like I said, if you want to lock in a # early, then MB ain't your place. Sure you'll miss a few with line moves, some get better, a point worse at +105 is comparable ( better ?) than laying -110.

No contest for late bettors, MB is the best by far if you bet late.

It's about knowing what a half point is worth, you can't always get screwed by a half-point or a point, like you would have on many of your early bets ( this season), if you bet late at MB, you often wind up taking a worse line at +money

I know your style is to lock it in early ( but at -110), that gives up over a half point. I consider these points to be worth about 6 cents, in most cases.

In a hypothetical example:

You take the dog +8.5 -110

I take it later ( via an offer) at +7.5 +108

I think I'm getting the better line, but it bites me if the dog loses by exactly 8 points.

I don't agree with guys that buy to your line at 10 cents a half point.

I hate laying -110, but I wouldn't want you to change your philosophy because of me.

In short forget matching your early picks at MB, ain't gonna happen.

If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it !
