*** OFFICIAL *** FFA WAGERING THREAD - Merry Christmas!!! (19 Viewers)

ROCKET said:
I gave my son the option to hedge and he was offered to split one of the pools (would have guaranteed him $120 as opposed to $240 if UNC wins) and he decided to go all in on UNC. So he's at $900 with UNC or $15 with Gonzaga. This is the most anticipated college bb game for him of his life. FWIW he's very confident that UNC will pull it off.

Since 2004 (entire database) CC has allowed 49R in 70.2 IP in his first start of the season (37R in 44.1 IP as a Yankee). The games went 11-2 O/U (10-0 O/U when the Yankees scored > 2 runs). link

Kershaw u8.5, Felix u5.5, Darvish (sorry Swirv) u6.5, Estrada u5.5.

Typically I feel solid right out of the gate (I was 0-1 on Sun), usually in hoops it takes me until around Jan. to start making some headway.

feel baseball can pounce on early and by around mid-july they get pretty sharp on their lines

 
I lasted 1 whole day of pitcher props before being cut to $100 at mybookie.  Only made 2 bets over $100 rest were under.. They were basically just waiting

Yeah happened to me last week.  Seems like they let you get up 3-5K then they mark your account as out of compliance with the 50/50 rule.   Then they give you 1-2 more K and then they cut you to $100.

cant imagine a full cut is far behind.

 
My son was pretty stoked after UNC won. I was very happy for him, told him to enjoy it as it's not easy to win these pools and to go 2-2 is pretty damn good. Thanks to all for the feedback.

Go Jordan Spieth @ 7-1 this weekend. Any Masters plays out there?

Looks like we have roped another in here

 
Not to go all Alan Boston here but....

I love March Madness but this is the first year where I honestly thought there might be a chance  the  thing was rigged. Too many games where refs played key roles.

The change in tone between halves last night is a huge red flag IMO.

Be careful....they called me and said to make sure it was crystal clear that i had to wager the same amount on regular lines/totals as I did on props from here on out.

ETA: What Regularguy and Ref said

In all honesty it's really not all that bad a deal compared to other sites.  Build up $1000 and take a big swing at a side and hope to double up.

better than being cut to zero allthough someone else said that eventually they will do just that.

yeah, but you have to make sure you track everything well too.  They only have up to the last 4 weeks searchable

They have a pretty nice live interface, at least for football they did.  I don't think those count towards sides/totals but doesn't hurt to ask.  I believe they pull from the same source as 5d.  During football they had a massive menu of live betting options with what I thought were some soft lines.

I got that notification about 2 weeks in..  said not cutting you but need to play sides more.. So I did, and I am way ahead on sides than props right now and withdrew recently  but they still said #### you

Yeah, when I talked to them...I reinforced that this was only from here on out and that all the money that I made from them was still good...and they obliged....transferred me to the withdrawal group.  I made the withdrawal (still in process), so we'll see.  

I blew about $4k chasing bull#### rollovers at 1V...not going to play that game again as long as they keep paying me.

ah see they wouldn't budge... I lost about 2k trying to get the sides to match up as I owed them 7k in sides.. ####ers.

Well that's a problem with these guys.  EVERYTHING that's not a full game side or total is considered a prop.  1h, live everything.

 
Since 2009 the White Sox are 5-20 SU against Verlander (1-20 SU scoring less than 7 runs).

Since 2015 Tigers 17-8 SU 6±3 rpg day/away versus AL Central:
Lined < -103: 7-0 SU 8±2 rpg (avg line -124)
Temp ≤ 72°F: 10-1 SU 7±2 rpg (avg temp 60±6)

So when mybookie hits you with the 1:1 thing, do they let you cash out at that point instead?
Click to expand...
Yes and no.  With me they said they noted my account with the 50/50 rule 5 weeks prior and I had to get back into balance with that point and time.  They made me clear a side rollover of $3100.

I feel strikeout props are particularly bad in this scenario seeing how scarce they are and how quickly they'll get you cut.

You know what I'm saying, anyone who offers K props is so fickle whereas with sides and other props they'll give you more rope to bang yourself.

I think that's just a function of how easy they are to beat. I'm just a shmoe, and I've gotten comfortably north of 60% beating K props. AFAIK that kind of number is near-impossible for any sort of major sport side.

If you're a schmoe, then I must be a ######ed 3rd cousin with down syndrome because you're the best damn gambler I've ever seen besides that Goo guy.
