That time of year ... I'm getting emails and phone calls from ham 'n egger sportsbooks I've never heard of.
got a call from BetUS yesterday
That's the one. (888) 512-3887.

"Ben" keeps bugging me. Thinking about strangling him.
For the love of god just deposit there and win and they'll stop calling.

They don't move their moneylines on halftime bets(and they severely shade lines on favorites)(and they offer lots of props)

say a football game opens half at -3(ML -165), market pounds this baby to -5....betus will move the line to -5 but keep the ML -165, FREE MONEY without doing any work!! C'mon people, you're killin me over here.
I was cut to $20 on everything at betus. Call after call I would tell them that I would re-deposit if they'd adjust my max to even $200. They would check with a "manager" and come back and say sorry sir, there's nothing we can do. Finally, "Mandy Montana" gets management to raise my limits up to $200. I dump in Money, bet for a few days, then boom, back to $20 limits. Then the hassle of getting my money out. Garbage.
It's probably somewhere in this thread....I think I ran up like 12k there and they paid me on a debit card(5k/5k/2k)...the withdrawal process was slightly painful but considering their reputation i was ready for a battle and it was much easier than expected. They said we'll pay you but we no longer want your business. It was actually one of the least painful sites i've had to deal with.

For the guys getting calls from them. Deposit some money(I'd take advantage of any bonuses they offer, I think it's like deposit 1k get 1k freeplay) and on saturdays/sundays pay attention to the to the odds board(this is the best free one http://www.bettingtalk.com/odds/lines.php ) If you can get a free point or 2 an hour before gametime bet it. I'd guess most of your plays will be dogs.

 
In Vogelsong's L7 games on 5 days of rest: 6-1 SU (avg line 110) and 0-7 O/U. Vogelsong posted a 1.31 ERA and 0.854 WHIP with 8.1 K/9 and 3.6 K/BB in those seven games. Opponents averaged 1.3 ±0.5 runs per game in those seven games. The last game we backed him was on 5 days rest and he pitched a CG at the Mets with one run allowed - the solo home run to Duda, who was real hot at the time.

The one loss in those L7 games was a 2-0 shutout by Wainwright and the Cardinals at AT&T Park. There was no Angel Pagan in the lineup that night, but this game feels like a similar result which is why I haven't locked in a bet yet, especially after losing 14 cents overnight. The Giants are 0-5 SU v CHW since 2008; the only five meetings in the L10 years - including two losses on June 17/18 this season.

 
The Royals are 4-1 SU in Guthrie's home starts against the same team he started against ≤ 11 days ago at their house. Guthrie posted a 2.25 ERA and 0.889 WHIP with 5.3 K/9 and 3 K/BB in those five games. I looked all this up last night, and I realize now that it seems arbitrary, but it's more of an arguement against "the A's just saw Guthrie" rather than a reason to back him tonight, although I wouldn't fade the Royals right now, even in spite of Dan's avatar. Guthrie allowed zero runs on 3 hits at O.co 11 days ago. His last start versus Oakland before that he also allowed zero runs on 3 hits (back in 2012).

Since 10/4/2009, The O/U is 1-13-0 when Guthrie is facing the same team he pitched against ≤ 11 days ago. The lone over was the 13-0 win versus the Twins on 8/15/13.

 
The O's are 6-1 SU at home since 2013 (3-0 SU this season) in Chen's starts on 5 days of rest (avg line -159). Chen posted a combined ERA of 2.98 and combined WHIP of 1.081 during those seven games (45.1 IP). Since 2013, the opposing starter is 8-15 SU against the O's when he allowed zero runs in his previous start against them (2-8 SU at Camden). I think I'll end up backing the O's just based on these two. It's expensive - so I'm waiting, but action junkie needs a 6 o'clock fix you know what I am talking about.

 
First time ever day off of work from flooding!

I'll take it. no major damage done to our basement, but about half the people i know in the metro detroit area got their basements destroyed

No ish? Damn I guess i'm out of touch, didn't realize there was a movement to add indoor swimming pools up there. Here's to you staying high and dry!

 
The home plate umpire at Camden tonight, Gerry Davis.. the home team is 19-3 SU in his games this season. The Yanks are 1-8 SU with him behind home plate since Oct 3, 2011.

 
What kind of bonuses are out there for football?

Just cashed out and bought some new golf clubs. Gonna put some back in and do some bonus whoring and over betting...

NO EFFIN WAY! 32 cars under that huutoe? That's Busta's extinction level event stuff man.

 
There have been 10 Tuesdays since June. The Marlins are 8-1 SU (7-0 SU lined at plus-money) on Tuesdays since June. They didn't play a game on July 15 because the All-Star game was that day.

 
Bell just sent you an intravenous message.

Also, was going out into the garage today to pull an old appraisal file, took a step into said garage and landed not on concrete but rather a decent sized snake. 6ft or so. Not SnakeJaws but still scared the #### out of me just the same. #florida

 
Gonna fire up a separate thread for the FFAWT Capping Contest tonight. Pretty excited.
Weird. I was planning on inquiring about this as soon as I got home. I finally staked my PayPal account. Is the thread up yet? If a bunch of us from this thread jump on board immediately and say "IN!", it may get some momentum going from the non-FFAWT'ers. I'd like to see a ton of peeps in this.

 
P.S. After the funeral today, I was near Foxwoods so I stopped in to play some cards before going back to work. The guy sitting next to me looked exactly like Bernie Mac, and he simply refused to hit his 15's and 16's, no matter what the dealer had showing. Oddly enough, he ran out of money pretty quickly.

 
Because I'm bored: Not really smack talk but a sort of funny story from our draft a few years ago.

I had just brought home a new dog from the shelter, a crazy ### 20 pound Jack Russell Terrier.

In our league, when you double pick (pick a player already selected) you lose the pick or agree to get tazered to get your pick back.

The draft was at my place and there's a lot of drunken commotion and yelling when a double pick for what's about to come. While everyone was screaming in my buddy's face over the double pick, the dog got scared and jumped up and bit him in the nuts to add insult to injury. Actually drew blood apparently.

(no one has ever chosen the tazer)

Nope. Gonna keep it just to sides. Wanna hew to the SuperContest rules as closely as possible.

Rude mentioned that having what's going to be a considerable sum of money in one's Paypal could present some issues, I'm trying to figure out if that's going to be a problem, then I'll set it up.

 
I've just heard horror stories of people having their PP accounts locked when they get a sniff of any unusual activity.

Don't want to agree to hold the money and then have my account get locked for some reason.
