So was that game-winning touchdown "catch" in Seattle a good call; or not? Yes or no, please.
The Ref
Footballguy
Yes. It was probably the best call in the history of sports considering the amount of blow back. The missed OPI about :02 before "the catch" might be the worst non call I have ever seen though.

He'd have to drop Cole Hamels into a pit of boiling lava on national TV to lose PA. 538 has them at 97.9%, which is a pretty nice pay-off.

i have to figure this one out a bit more. i'm not that technically savvy, but it sounds easy enough. i would love to get that working in time for some hockey SOG playsWhy not just create a second account at a different IP with wife name? Like work, a restaurant near your house with wifi, etc. Establish it there, place bets via your mobile device and you should be good I'd think.

Sportsbook requires proof of residence to withdraw. A phone bill, cable, etc.
I'm just using a buddy's account. He already had an acct. open, I gave him some money so I could get started, and I've been building it up from there. I log in to my acct. via my own IP, and use an IP masker when I log into his. Works out pretty well.

I'm in on this plus $1000 on Obama to win the election at -285I just don't see Romney pulling this out 
Not great payouts, but seems like free money?

How long have you been using the masker? What IP masker are you using? Maybe this is better suited for PM, but I opened an account and used an IP masker but my account was disabled within 24 hours.

I used gotomypc and put my laptop at a friends house....props lasted a few weeks. Never bet more than $100/prop and was betting thousands on sides/totals...didn't matter. I did this 3x and then just gave up because setting everything up was such a hassle.

I didn't see anything posted but I was wondering if anyone thought that Lane Kiffin's decision to go for the 2pt conversion at the end of the game had anything to do with spread? Since I know the line was around 8-9.5pts and by getting the 2 they cover?

Only Wong teasers yesterday were the Colts and the Bucs as dogs and both won outright.

Interesting. Always the same laptop? Wonder if they track by MAC address and IP masking doesnt matter? Is that even possible?

I used 2 different laptops and then the third time repeated a laptop. If you win you're not going to last long, it's that simple. They used to be more tolerant but that's no longer the case. They're in business to make money and someone crushing them on props is bad for business.

Has anyone ever asked SB BEFOREHAND, how not to get cut on props? Maybe even tell them you are paying a tout. Maybe trying this rout might give you a little leeway. Just thinking out loud here. I thought at one point earlier this yr they were going to cut me on the golf stuff(was enjoying a very successful run winning alot of matchups as well as futures. I even took advantage of some faulty lines they left up after mathces started). Periodically, I go into the Casino and piss away 20-50 bucks. I also play low dollar amount omaha hi/lo tables there. I think those little things help me not get cut. jmo.
Venting edit: I play longshot parlays each week. I missed about 25 units in three different parlays because of one team in each. Raiders cost me 7 units. Kent st, i still can't believe what they let the Zips do to them early in that game. And Rice, pummeling Tulane all game, goes soft and wins by 2. My key nfl plays ravens and lions made me a nice winner for the week, but 2500 slipped through my hands with some tough losses.

4 team +13 teasers following Colin Cowherd's blazing 5 have been free money in the NFL the past few weeks. Continuing to do this until it burns me.

I think this is just drawing attention to yourself. They don't care if you have a tout if you're taking money from them. Money's still money. My MO is to not cause a stink over anything on chat, not max. out a line if they leave it up too long, etc., and just get as much as I can.Dunno if playing sides/casino/poker helps. Maybe. Who knows.www dot private internet access dot com. Works great. Just sits in my tray and I flip it on and off as needed.'optionmaven said:

Also, thoughts guys are appreciated. I am in an office pool league with about 200 other guys. Pick 6 NCAA and NFL games a week ATS each week for 12 weeks. Best record each week wins $250, on top of mid-season and end of season grand prizes. I am 10-1 this week and up against 6 other guys with Saints -1.5. The tie breaker is the total, and the person closest to the absolute number gets the $250. Ties on the total split the pot.
One other guy has Saints and 51, so we'd split if the Saints win 27-24.
Any hedge at all here, or just enjoy the free roll essentially for MNF? I'm thinking the latter.

My "local" has talked about retirement. I think I'll just quit at that point, these horror stories about on-line books make it too much trouble for this guy.

I've heard 5Dimes is really good. I'm probably going to deposit there this week.The allure of SB, and why so many people put up with their nonsense and heavy vig, is that they have beatable props. And a lot of props. There's just no way that with the number of props they put out there, that they're going to not hang some bad ones out there.
seems like they dropped a lot. I don't see any of that. No more election bets taken either.
John Bender
Footballguy
It's all gone.Only props left are the ####ty NBA (team to score first/team to score most in first 15 minutes) useless ### props.
Add to the fact that teasers lose on a tie, and I've been shipping a lot of action to the local. :(

Buy his book. A lot easier to make money from the other side.
I have money at 3 different online books but haven't tried to take any out yet. Getting the money in seems pretty easy.Sportsbook is great for their props, but annoying since they cut your limits when you win. That seems to be where most of the angst regarding online books comes from. It also sounds like they can be slow to payout at times, but not sure if that's still going on.I like 5dimes since it's so much easier to round robin parlays and teasers there, but their lines can be much different than everywhere else. They hate making teams Wongable.

how long did that take?

It just stopped working about 2 years ago.I've tried every month for a good 18 months and today....bingo bango...it accepted it.

It is. They are talking greater then 6 weeks to get paid right now. Sportsbook owns Merge gaming (poker) and they recently shut down player transfers. I guess alot of US pros were transferring money over to non us players and they would cash out for them for a small cut. Now the volume is even higher for the sportsbook/merge processor and its taking even longer.

Just got a check a couple weeks ago that came pretty quick.I did notice that the max. I can cash out is $2500 per month.

It means your CC company turned on international purchases. That is the difference.I misread what you were saying. I thought you were talking about a sportsbook debit card where they transfer funds instead of taking weeks to send you a check.It just stopped working about 2 years ago.I've tried every month for a good 18 months and today....bingo bango...it accepted it.

Good - because after the election I'm going to need a withdrawal. I just noticed that my max is $2500 now as well. that is relatively new. Oh well, perhaps I'll break it in two.Just got a check a couple weeks ago that came pretty quick.I did notice that the max. I can cash out is $2500 per month.

I've never bet over $100 on a prob at SB before. Anyone think that max betting this one will get the folks at SB upset with me? Don't want to risk getting cut to win $83.33...'Good said:
if we have a Bush/Gore situation again where there are disputed results and recounts needed, could take awhile for them to grade the bet(s). might be one reason not to tie up all the funds needed on these bets.

I'm not counting my money yet but I bet BHO at -180(alot) and Romney +400(very very little).....both are awesome bets, nothing else I can do at this point.I also bet Obama wiscy -440 and iowa -265

All of the guys who employ some level of science/statistics to it (Wang, Silver) have Obama ahead pretty comfortably.

Like Ferrer getting the dog status here. Evenly matched right now with Del Potro and the line doesn't reflect that.
