This is one of those moments when your way way ahead on a shot prop, but you know 7 shots are going to be hard to come by with a 4 goal lead.Holy crap, Winnipeg.

How reliable are baseball props? I mean I know it's posible to be shut off with hockey props, and I hear the same about football. Have any of you guys ever been shut off of baseball?

This Columbus/Edmonton should be 4-2, teams setting a record for missing open nets.

I sucked at them, but they were fun. So stressful betting "NO" to 1st inning run, then you get the leadoff double.

Tough beat but finished in the money at least. Just not a lot of money.
50 year old Greek guy who barely spoke a lick of english.
Got him head to head in a hand. Board was J-rag-rag. I had K-Q. I bet in 2nd position, he calls. Turn comes Ace. I lead out with a 4x BB bet. He asks "Do you have a better kicker?"
He folds after some hemming and hawing and shows his ace. I showed him my bluff. I should have known better.
The VERY NEXT HAND.
K-9 of Spades (I'm in BB. I raise the BB 4x)
Board is King Clubs-6 spades, 2 spades.
I bet 25% of my stack. Not sure if he's steam calling but he calls quickly.
Turn comes, 10 of clubs.
I go all in with my Top Pair and Flush draw
He snap calls.
Greek donkey had a 10-6 of hearts.
Guess it was karma for showing him by bluff. Shook his hand and now at the bar.
I realize people give about as much of a #### about poker stories as they do about how many titles the Lakers have won, but I don't like starting new threads and I've been posting my poker stories in this thread for years now so thought I'd share. Back at it tomorrow with the Omaha Hi/Lo tourney.
Also played an NCAA teaser for 1 unit:
West Virginia +8
Vandy +1.5
Montana +17.5
Good luck to EVERYONE tomorrow (except the Lakers sig guy and LHUCKS if he's reading this somewhere).

OF COURSE it had to be the 10..... When I run bad this type of stuff happens to me all the time.
John Bender
Footballguy
Oh well. Wasn't really a bad beat. I'm sure he put me on a draw, but didn't think I had top Pair as well. Didn't think I'd be losing to 10-6. Maybe a bad play by me to go all in, but he just saw me bluff him out and I thought I was a strong favorite at that point and would get a call after just showing him A-K high #### happens.

Do we have somewhat confirmed goalies in that game yet?My book likes Davidson as well, Louisville is a team that is great when they hit their shots and not great at all when the 3s aren't falling. Seems like a good spot for an upset.

Ilya is in because he has a chance to be the first Flyers goalie to have 4 straight shutouts, and looking to break beezer's record for longest amt. of time not letting a goal in. i also anticipate the flyers team will support this and will likely take under shots for both teams.i do wonder if they'll get any of their d-men back. i think Kubina skated today.

wow, great news guys. i will be sending you MMA prop bets when i can bud, you'll be busy. Will this also include MMA parlay bets? i hope so.and PS, i'm calling you RN, not Dave bud. i hope that works for you. It's like asking me to meet Tony Soprano and calling him James. Screw thatGlad to have Dave back. Should any of you with Evo accounts find a prop type bet that Evo doesn't offer I want you to contact Dave and he will take care of you. Not only for NHL but MLB and possibly even next football season. We appreciate your business and want to make as many options available to you as possible. If you don't have an Evo account, PM me and I will get you set up with an account and a $100 comp play for any March Madness game.I'M BACK!
Not to gamble though. I stopped cold turkey after losing about 50 bets in a row.
But to stay in "action" I'm helping Kurt out with the SOG stuff. Most of you who play them every night know this already. It gets to be a lot of work with all the other stuff he has to do. I've seen Aaron and others lamenting the fact that they can't play the SOG for the late games because Kurt isn't around. Those days are over. I will be online from 7:45 (EST) until the final horn of the last game every night, so send your plays to me anytime. If you are already a customer and you need my email addy, PM me. For the 7pm and 7:30pm starts, you can leave your plays in my inbox, and as long as the time stamp checks out, consider it action. I will be at your service immediately, if need be, for every game which begins at 8pm or later.
Giddy up.

NCAA, NBA, NHL, MLB... you name it. Yes, even soccer.
And of course tons of football when September rolls around.
Also, Kurt will continue to beat ALL of their props by 5¢.
EX: If the number for total points scored by Kevin Durant is 28 (under -125) ... you get it at -120.
Like a prop at +120? You get it at +125.
Etc.
I will be on the computer for most of each day, especially when the games are in full swing. Again, if I cannot respond immediately, make sure to leave a note in your email what the vig is AT SPORTSBOOK at the time of your email. I will then make the 5 cent adjustment on my end, and you'll have a ticket sent back to you in a reasonable amount of time. Most weekends, the reply will be immediate. Weeknights, I'll get back to you by 8:00 EST.
I'll have early printouts when the props open, so I will have a general idea what the vig is. But you are on the honor system. Don't try to cheat me or I will say all sorts of things in front of your peers which will probably hurt your feelings.

mo, I have nothing to do with the MMA parlays. If the website accepts them, go for it. Just gotta keep trying now and then, I guess. I can tell you that props can't be parlayed.

I think you played it fine. I'm usually not a fan of showing cards, esp. bluffs, but you got him to steam and give you more money with a bad hand. Unfortunately for you, he hit a big card.

Can't wait for your AM conversation with Kurt."Well The Ref wanted to book a pre recorded heads up dart match and you said I could book anything.... i got him to lay -240 what else do you want.....".

Heh, I have a feeling this is gonna be a LOT more work than I anticipated. But that's okay, it's a labor of love. And if it keeps me out of trouble, that works too. Not looking forward to Super Bowl week, though, with the 5,000 props. You guys will be trying to buy three and a half seconds off the National Anthem.

Anybody have an opinion on this prop? Will a team from the big 12 win the ncaa tourney +425. Having a number 1 and 2 seed on your side seems like good value and probably a decent chance to hedge later. Thoughts?
