I don't know if the whole "bad lines" thing is a fair criticism. Dan is a recreational gambler. So am I. I don't have accounts at multiple sites to search the best lines for a number of reasons. I have a guy. He sets the line. The line may move a little but it is not dramatic and up to a couple of years ago the line wasn't even available until game day. That's the way it goes. It may not be sophisticated and I may have bad results for me occasionally but I accept that knowing I may be limiting myself a little. Thems the breaks for us locals players

I got screwed on that 49er game as well.


I'm not talking about not having multiple outs, or not having the ability to get a number early. I'm talking about watching a number move against you, and then jumping on anyway, even after it moved through a key number. I'm talking about playing huge money lines. These are not the marks of an investor.

If all you use is a local...fine.
If you are offshore and the only out you have is Bovada you are not investor.
If you are going to be offshore and have only one out there are much better options than Bovada.

I also am an enthusiastic proponent of illegal sports betting as a team-building exercise. I have a fashionable clutch just chock full of betting concepts that we utilize on a weekly basis.

Unrelated to any bad beats, Charles Tillman is questionable with a hastily amputated finger.

I like a decent mult. This isn't bad.

Isn't this the place where they weigh you when you come in then charge you accordingly? They'll have to throw Grimace on the truck scale.

Just wait till somebody starts a thread for the female posters on this board to name their favorite male poster. It'll be a bloodbath.

You hear the props he gave you about being an action junkie yesterday? was right at the beginning of the show talking about how he made a play on the Broncos game on Monday.

Regardless of the gambling ins and outs,one would think that a guy who is supposed to talk sports for a living would have a little more insight as that is his full time job.

But, Mac is lazy.

You have seriously never seen the line at +3 -120/-3 +100, or +3 -135/-3 +115 ? How is that possible?

They obviously got a lot of action on Atlanta, and they didn't want to move it to 2.5. At 2.5, the book gets hit with ATL in teasers across the board.

3 is not just a key number, but the most important number. Instead of moving a number to 2.5 or 3.5, they adjust the juice.
