I'm going to call up there lines-making department tomorrow and offer my services and expertise in CBB totals. I can set a way better opening line with out even looking at any stats than their best linemaker could looking shit up on one game and studying it for hours. When you put up an opening total on Eastern Washington/Washington State of 116 you deserve to get your ass kicked. In my heart I know I would do an great job the problem is that I would need 150K per year to do it. I will report back tomorrow on what they have to say about offering them my services.

lol

They don't pay 20% of that. It's not worth it to them.

[durito]

and they are less scared than anyone else.

notice how when they put up a full slate somehow every book has a full slate and when they put up 1 everyone has 1. it's more like every other sportsbook in the world is afraid to put up something that cris hasn't put up first.

durito,

All these guys claiming to be beating the market at 60% would be a thing of the past. I would make the players cry.

I know it's sad. Makes you wonder what the **** these oddsmakers do?

No offense, but yesterday you were bitching about getting limits cut at SIA, I doubt you have that great a grasp on NCAAB totals to kill the market.

If you do, it's worth more than 150k

[Emily_Haines]

I know my services are worth far more than 150K, but I'm going to give them a year just to show them what I can do, then I hit them for the big bucks in year two.

I use SIA because the are slow to move the number. I see a game steaming I could get $440 down at SIA with no problem. Now I can only get $44. They finally sent me an email saying my limits were cut 90%.

[tltaylor89]

yep

[durito]

There is no need whatsoever to chase steam at SIA.

You know a better place?

There are more than 20 books, you just move on to the next one. It don't take brain surgery to make a line, you just try to get people to bet evenly on both sides, so the book makes money. We are lucky, we do not have to bet every game. We can cherry pick the juiciest bets for the week. More than 90 percent of their customers cannot do what you do, else they would be out of business.

[durito]

To chase steam? Yea, every book.

No need to that at SIA, but then again, somehow you lasted a year there. I don't know how that's even possible if you have the slightest idea what you are doing.

You want to pm totals everyday and let me bet them before bookmaker opens?

There are 30x that many books. Yet, if bookmaker doesn't post an ncaab total, most likely almost none of them will.

[BubbleBobble]

Where are all those cbb totals clowns coming from?

[BubbleBobble]

To chase steam? Yea, every book.

Wrong...most books will kick you out, or limit you, or delay or whatever.

[iceminers26]

NCAAB are the easiest to cash IMO, it would be a difficult job setting the opening number.

[durito]

Wrong...most books will kick you out, or limit you, or delay or whatever.

Obviously. That still doesn't make chasing steam at SIA worth it or necessary. Just play the #'s they aren't moving that are already 2pts off.

[Thremp]

I don't think SIA differentiates between steam and stale.

[20Four7]

There is no need whatsoever to chase steam at SIA.

Why would anyone chase steam there when you can get a point and a half better than market on the dog. If you chased steam at SIA you deserve what you got.
