    That especially makes their closer tough to beat. But I still lost

    Pinnacle opened at pick'em, you should have bet GB then to say that. That's my logic, at least.

    Anyone getting in on GB at a pick-em did a pretty super job. My measly beating of five cents means nothing next to that.

    My point all along - no matter how much you beat the closing line, it means nothing unless it cashes. I've had all sorts of times I had the closing line beat, free half points, and everything else - still end up losing so many times.

    The "right side", the "wrong side" and "Reload's side" are all the same thing to me lately - losers

    Got to laugh it off when I can - lately I'd rather "beat off" than "beat the closing line" and you can quote me on that

    I figured out in 2009 that I was somewhat of a savant at anticipating line movement in the NFL, so I started betting a lot of early lines. I ended up spending way too much time shopping lines and not enough time capping, and got my ass kicked. The gal that wrote a book about the offshore industry called it "Trying to buy luck on sale". Get a team that is going to play for you, then get a number.

    You only beat the no-vig closer by less than a penny (-110.8).

    Now ME on the other hand, I had GB -2.5 -110.

    Was that at Matchbook? I played earlier in the week at MB when it was -2.5 -113. Did not like to lay the extra juice but wanted under the key number of 3.

    yeah makes sense except you need both price and value to win in the long term

    I don't act like I'm beating the casino If i win one hand of blackjack
