I suppose this can be about anything betting related but for now was just wondering which sites you guys use....

I've been using sportsbook.ag for a few years and I like them...but I've got a new get rich quick strategy but I need a site with a lot more prop bets so I figured I'd see what other sites you guys use and have experience with....

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Wed Dec 24, 2014 12:58 am

can't help, as I don't bet.

however, if you get rich quick, I might have to inquire as to how you did it and take up the habit

Oh it can't fail...Method is solid.

K...well sorta joking but on the reals...Very low risk very high reward. Of course it's possible I just got lucky 2 days in a row so I'll save my real bragging (and let you guys in on a BIG secret if it holds. (fun fact, it's not a secret, I'm just super impressed with myself)

Normally yes, but they cheat on their NFL Teaser lines. 6 point teasers are really 4-4½ point teasers, and all the other "tease" lines are 1-2 points short of what they should be.

As MTC hasn't checked back into the thread....are we to assume that she either struck it rich or got wiped out?

LOL

I kept checking back and no one had bit so I just assumed no one cared. As for striking it rich...you see part of the reason why it's low risk high reward is because I risk very little...like the littlest there is to bet because I'm not completely clueless...just a little. Plus I'm kinda seeing a guy who's a fairly well known betting expert and he sucks at offering me any big tips so I figure if I make enough of the type of bets I'm making but tell him I'm risking big numbers, he'll eventually feel sorry for me and gimmie some juicy tips.

As for my method...has it held? Well...yes...wanna know what it is?

OK...here you go...and NFL is a little different because they have way more options for prop bets so I'll get to that second but first:

You find the games (be it NBA of NCAAF or whatever), that has a HUGE dog (given sometimes you just have to take the biggest of what there is because I believe in betting no matter if there's slim pickings...this is also the sign of a true degenerate gambler but I've already come to terms with that and have moved on) and you put a little amount of money on those games. Take today for instance. For sake of ease let's say I put $1 on each bet I made so:
NBA-
76ers +900/Pistons
Timberwolves +700/Nuggets

NCAA-
North Texas +850/ODU
Rice +700/Charlotte
VA Commonwealth +750/Duquesne
BC +700/UV

So I made 6 bets = $6...
I only won 2 of those bets (T'wolves & Rice) but that got me $14 so I came out in this example, up $8.

Now obviously not all days are going to be like this but like on the 15th I made 3 bets = $3..
I only won 1 but it was CSUN +650 so I got back $7.50, and again came out in this example up $3.50

On the 16th I made 6 bets....$6 but one of them was a 2-team parlay which I won so I got $20.95 back which was more than double my bet.

So you see...it's a SOLID METHOD because as we all know, TEAMS WILL ALWAYS FAIL THEIR FANS at some point and when that happens, I'm right there baby.

NFL especially right now is a different story as it's all about Prop bets which if you don't know are things like "Will Aaron Rodgers score 2 rushing TD's" and that pays 1-15000 so yeah for $1 you could win $150 and there's plenty more for all the players and stats and I'll usually not risk more than the lowest payout so for instance one bet is for Julian Edelman to get over 125 receiving yards and it doesn't pay great but there's a decent chance it happens so I find one of those 'at least it's got a good chance-ish to happen' bets and then find 9 more that if won all pay big numbers.

Again...solid method (ok, actually this one isn't as solid I've found during the playoffs but I promise you it makes the games way more fun especially if there's a blowout).

So...TLDR; Find very unlikely to win bets, make those bets and know that there's usually a decent team that shits the bed every so often so capitalize on it.

No, I won't strike it rich this way but I'm a smart enough bettor to know that even the absolute BEST bettors are lucky to have a winning % in the 50's... So for me it's just fun and plus I sound like I knew something when I brag about it on twitter later

Jefe · Post by **Jefe** » Tue Jan 20, 2015 4:29 pm

Ive been loving the 4-5 point NBA/NCAA teasers. I find 2, sometimes 3 games that I think can go either way and Ill take the points for the underdog. Worked well last year and still working well.

Ha... I don't keep track because I'm pretty sure it's not that impressive...I just go by how much is in my account. I opened it a few years back with the minimum amount needed and I've never reloaded so I figure I'm doin aight

I do plenty of parlays but never done a teaser bet...mostly because I'm not 100% sure of how they work...

Fair enough. My next question would be has it gotten big enough to make withdrawals alongside never needing to reload it?

mytwocents wrote:I do plenty of parlays but never done a teaser bet...mostly because I'm not 100% sure of how they work...

I stay away from parlays anymore. I used to do 4-6 team parlays every day and I think I only hit on like 10 of them. Wound up paying for the other 60 I lost

but I hated hitting 3/4 or 5/6 games. Worst feeling ever when you miss 1, especially when $20 could have turned into $600.

Teasers are similar to parlays but you start by choosing how many points you want against the spread. You then pick 2-15 games to combine a bet on. Lets say you do a 4 pt teaser and you select 3 games that all have a -4 spread. A 4 pt teaser would allow you to get on each game at -8 or ML, your choice. 3 games would pay +200, 4 games would pay +335, 5 pays +525 and so on. You can even choose an teaser that allows ties to reduce the bet rather losing the whole thing. I had a lot of fun with those during March Madness. Take a 6-8 pt teaser and give the points to the underdogs.

Bruins01 · Post by **Bruins01** » Wed Jan 21, 2015 4:53 pm

There is no teaser in which ties lose. All teasers are either ties win or ties reduce.

LOL...I've never made one withdrawl so that should tell you just how big time I am with my bets. I don't do much 'real' money betting unless I'm in Vegas mostly because I get caught up in the excitement and do things I shouldn't...ha

Post by **UAdevil** » Wed Jan 21, 2015 5:47 pm

I deposit a whopping $250 into my sportsbook prior to the ncaafb season every year. So far every year I've cashed out $400-$700 after the end of the ncaa tourney. Not big money, but I've always been up at the end of my betting year.

I was real interested right up until "never made one withdrawal"

I don't mind the idea of low betting and working the total up, but there's gotta be a payoff at the end!

I'm a hoarder in general so I have a tendency to leave shit where it is...even if I'm technically losing out...Case in point: I was in a pretty big NFL pick-em league this year with 60 or so people. I came in 2nd, literally at the last second thanks to mother fucking fuck face Earl fucking fuckhead Thomas who just HAD to not let St. Louis get a measly TD in the last seconds of a game they were easily winning....Did I say cockjuggling thundercunt? No...K, well now I did... Anyway...I won about $1500 and it's just sitting in my paypal account and I have no plans to take it out just yet cause if I do, I'm fairly certain it'll get spent on alcohol or someone elses alcohol when I'm drunk at a bar and everyone is my BFF....

Ugh....Fucking Earl cockface shitbrain Thomas...

so, not being a gambler, I guess I have what might be a stupid question. If Oregon is +1100...is that +1100 if they win? Or if they cover?

11x your bet in profit if they upset AZ outright...if you take a standard point spread it's usually -110, but can vary between even money and about -130.

Nope. I never bet when we're involved with the exception of the only time I did this year which turned out to be a windfall...Was the reg season Oregon game...

PieceOfMeat wrote:so, not being a gambler, I guess I have what might be a stupid question. If Oregon is +1100...is that +1100 if they win? Or if they cover?

That would mean if you bet the moneyline, then they need to win outright and then you'd get paid $11 for ever $1 you bet. According to the book I use they don't even have a ML for our game but the spread is Oregon +15 so they'd have to win OR not lose by more than 14 pts and you'd get paid $.91 for every $1 you bet. (they take a cut....)
