basketball in general

what you know about having nets ml against the bulls and counting your money till nate robinson goes ham

what you know about getting michigan at plus 215 live bet against wisconsin in madison only for a half court shot



to screw up your bet


Man did you bet on THE game though?

I had $75 on Green Bay ATS



I almost threw up, and I've had countless NBA bets get fukked up at the last shot. Wes Matthews hit some fade away pointless shot against the Mavs two seasons ago that cost me like $85

:ehh: Sure, I retired from my triple digit plays every day :lolbron: but I make a lot of small time plays daily

:lolbron: Here's everything from the past few days, most were blind guesses I made from fading the public and a quick peek at vegasinsider

I have a small play pending tonight as well. I have the under in the Warriors vs. Lakers summer league game Under 153.5

Come superbowl or Finals time though, or Bowl Week? :whew: THat's when them triple digit jawns come out to play
What do you mean by fading the public? and what can you find on vegasinsider?

Ok, "fading" is a term you might hear frequently in betting circles. It just means to bet the opposite side for whatever reason. i.e. "I always fade the Yankees when Andy Pettite is pitching because he's :flabbynsick:"

So to fade the public means you bet against the majority of bettors using the logic that books want to attract more action on the side they expect to lose.

This is a very popular and effective strategy in certain instances. If it's a big prime time game, most people are going to bet on the most expected outcome. Books are aware of this, and from my experience, most of the time it's an effective strategy to go against the public.

People keep systems out there that track these type of plays and some sports show that if one side attracts 55% or more action, that side typically loses for whatever reason.

It varies from year to year and sport to sport, so it isn't a 100%, infallible method of betting, but it's something I like to use occasionally, especially during primetime games where books get the most action.

Vegasinsider.com is a resource you can use to find all sorts of things from write-ups, previews, recaps, different books, line movements, percentage of what side is getting the most action based on the aggregate betting numbers from various books in Vegas, and an assortment of other things.

I strictly use it to look at betting percentages and line movements on occasion. Line movement is cool, but it's not always a 100% tried and true method of winning, I've seen sharps get wrecked some weeks, I've seen squares kill some weeks, it all depends.

do the opposite of what the consensus is, if the public is say pounding the heat at -7 you take the spurs at +7

that and watching line movement etc. is some strategies certain people use.

say line movement its -7, you throw like 50 bucks

then you look again and the line has dropped to -4 more than likely in my years of betting you are f*#@#

Anybody use sportsbook.ag? I've been there for 2 years now

I looked at their site a couple times way back when, but I heard about their terrible payout wait and never depped there.

My favorite book back in the day was SportsBetting.ag :noah: I got cool with one of the reps at the site and he used to give me free plays all the time and we'd chat about regular shyt n/h

Then after the 2012 NBA Finals they fired all of their old staff and revamped the site; their new management had me waiting 3 months from June till almost kickoff of NFL for a fukking payout so I never went back.

A lot of the Antiguan based books (the .ag ones) are pieces of shyt that are either really in the islands or somewhere in Costa Rica, Panama or Nicaragua. I stick to 2-3 books tops now.

Only Costa Rican books I mess with anymore are Youwager and 5Dimes

:lolbron: yeah it all depends what number you're trying to get. There's a lot of NBA sharps I'd see in forums getting murdered early in the season. The public I think fared a lot better this past season than the season before it, so no matter the number, they'd often end up getting packed n/h

the worst book is sportsbook.com

at one point i had 500 dollars with them for nearly 6 months "processing withdrawal"

alot of these run of the mill gambling sites will hold your money for insanely amount of times, or cut you off if your winning constantly.

I've never had the problem of getting limits cut because I never simply bet enough consistently. I was dumb; I'd build up my bankroll and they'd pull stall tactics and because I didn't know how the game was run back then I'd get murked like that jap in Casino and bet all the money back.

Most notorious violators in the industry are sportsbook, sportsbetting.ag and there's probably a few more shyt-tier books that are more obscure to avoid.

BetOnline is bad, too.

Best book I've ever seen for payouts has been YouWager. They once sent me $600 same day no fees after I processed it at like 1:00 AM that night and around 4-5 in the afternoon I picked it up at a Moneygram station at the pharmacy :lolbron:

that's cool breh. no need for explanation... having a lil side hobby is always good.

Some people play those lil machines with the mechanical arm at the grocery store that goes down to get those teddy bears.... cheap and fulfills that level of gambling as well....


nikka shut up with that condescending bullshyt, get out that man pockets! He can bet whatever the fukk he feels like betting on games without a fakkit like u passing judgement. 300 dollar plays are not small wagers, If you were to bet 300 a hand at a casino you better believe u gonna draw some attention. Uppity fakkit!

:skip: THing is though, 300 bucks IS a small wager in the grand scheme of things. The guys who draw attention are betting 4-5 figures a hand, and even that doesn't get more than a glance

To be fair though, that shyt isn't fun because at that point you're playing with serious money that could be used for much better things. For a good while I used to bet $300-500 a night, now for most people that ain't shyt, but for a college kid who worked part time, that was like gambling two pay checks a night.

The days I won, it was pure euphoria—for me, the greatest high imaginable. I can't tell you how amazing it feels to win whatever you perceive as "good money", it's amazing feeling. You qualify it by comparing it to what you know. For me, that was like 3-4 weeks of work in 2 hours of fun. I could buy fly shyt I normally couldn't afford, I could pay for a couple classes, etc.

The days you lose, though? Sobering, crushing, devastating—whatever adjective you wanna use, it feels like hitting rock bottom.

I first started betting because it was fun, then I realized I could really profit off of it and upped my wagers more than I should've.

Gambling should be fun. Fun for a millionaire is betting a couple hundred, a couple grand, maybe a couple hundred thousand, but fun for a working man shouldn't be more than like 5 or 10 percent of your total bankroll.

Because even the best cappers in the world go on cold streaks. EVERYBODY at some point is going to lose. EVERYBODY. If you execute money management, you CAN profit long term if you know what you're doing.

Because the highs and lows nearly destroyed me, I decided I'd never play with more than I could afford to lose. Now I stick to no more than $25-$30 bucks a night tops and even then I get just as pissed when I lose or just as happy when I win as if I had won or lost my old triple digit amounts.

It's shyt like that that realizes that someone like myself doesn't bet for the money, but rather, I bet for the high and as twisted as it seems, the low that comes with losing.

It's like feeling you can control fire, and the euphoria that comes with controlling it is worth risking the incineration of losing.

I've been here........and I don't plan on being there again.

The thing with sports betting is that you need to keep that money separate from everything else. I opened a completely different bank account specifically for my sports betting. Say you throw 2000 in there.......Bet no more than 2% to 5% of your bankroll on games. 40 to 100 bets max (betting more depending on the game) will keep you in the game even if you have a cold stretch. Don't up your units unless the percentage coincides with your bankroll. That will allow you to withstand the hits. Believe me, This summer I was like 20 games over .500, killing them......I thought there was no way I could lose, I upped my units and I went on a super cold streak and ended up losing a grip. Most of this sportsbetting thing is discipline and not betting more than you afford to lose.........When you go on a losing streak don't chase and you should definitely pull back on your units a bit.


Sports betting is NOT a get rich quick scheme.....You have to look at it as a business and a true day to day grind. You have to look at your wins and losses on a longterm scale as opposed to the short term. You can have losing days, losing weeks, & an even a losing month but as long as you have a losing year you're on the right path.

:wow: preaching to the choir here breh, but I hear you.

I kid you not, last year I made $600 in under a minute betting black jack and made like $1500 over a span of 3 days. To me that might as well have been like $10,000. I won 5 $100 hands in a row and got Ace King my sixth hand. I felt like Allah himself. I seriously schemed in my head how I was gonna commit to making such and such per week to save up for a Porsche :russ:

I was fukking delusional and I seriously thought I couldn't lose; I thought with progressive betting I could beat the house. I ended up getting killed.

I stopped playing for money and now it's simply to pass the time as a hobby
