ITS SO EASY FOR A BOOKIE TO LET PLAYERS MANIPULATE LINES IF THEY ARE NOT TOP NOTCH.

THAT'S A TREMENDOUS EDGE IF THE BOOKIE IS A SHORTSTOP FOR THE PLAYER, ITS SO EASY TO SEE IT IF YOU HAVE THE EXPERIENCE AND BEEN IN THE BUSINESS FOR SOMETIME. THEY KNOW FOR A FACT WHICH BOOKS THEY NEED TO BET ON THE SCREEN, BECAUSE THE REST WILL DRY MOVE, IT DOESN'T TAKE THAT MUCH MONEY TO BLACK OUT A SCREEN THESE DAYS, SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THE DRY MOVING, I CAN'T COUNT ON BOTH OF MY HANDS HOW MANY TIMES I'VE SEEN IT HAPPEN IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS, THATS WHERE THE EXPERIENCE COMES IN FOR BOOKING...

So, what are you saying? Some clones are starting to move on action? It does show fiscal responsiblity to try to be a bookmaker. The other clones that don't know wtf is going on would be hit in the old days if their number acquired value but in today's climate anything over recreational money is dangerous. So, that's the catch 22 - you could move it if you wanted to but what good would it do you if you can't collect winning bets ?

Could someone dumb this down for the newbies? I'm confused :)

Rainbow i have had this discussion numerous times especially as it relates to totals. Last weekend i saw several totals move 5 points and i had very little action on them so i would quote them right in the middle(total moves from 149 to 154 i would quote it 152) until money showed up.

I'M TALKING ABOUT THE MONEY IS 100% GOOD, MY WHOLE POINT IS SO MANY BOOKIES FALL FOR THE TRAP AND DRY MOVE IT, IT BETTER BE SOMEBODY SMART FOR ME TO EVER GET OFF THE NUMBER...

Agreed with that from your side of it Rainbow. Sooner or later moving on air is going to hurt clones if they do not know where the number should be. But, your tactic makes sense - take some action at a sensible number and then move. I am not even sure it is players manipulating the line but other books that have clout moving the line on air at their own site to try to get recreational players to chase steam and bet a bad number and changing the line back if too many wise guys try to hit the value side - players of whom they may not have a lot of any more. Then they could afford to try it. Players and books alike that do not know where the scientific # is are both vulnerable.

" IT BETTER BE SOMEBODY SMART FOR ME TO EVER GET OFF THE NUMBER.".
If you take a big enough wager you may think it is a sucker betting you when in essence it is really the man himself. Knowing that, is where the real talent comes in, anyone can bet sky, jazz, and cris and watch the number run. Its when it doesnt move you you need to now watch. Thats my free advice to you "old time smart BM's". You are probably getting bearded and you dont know it.

Re: ITS SO EASY FOR A BOOKIE TO LET PLAYERS MANIPULATE LINES IF THEY ARE NOT TOP NOTCH.

I've never liked the idea of bookmakers moving on "air."

But as has been so astutely pointed out, there's an easy way to handle those guys...

What about the books that open up late? LIKE GRANDE
 
Re: ITS SO EASY FOR A BOOKIE TO LET PLAYERS MANIPULATE LINES IF THEY ARE NOT TOP NOTCH.

I am so glad this arguement is coming to light, I have wondered about this for a long time.

RAINBOW- to move or not to move on "air." I understand what the Shrink is saying, mathematically if you you don't get action why move? so you don't get beat by sharps right? I see it both ways boys... please fill me in.

I don't mean to oversimplify it. I realize lines are rarely dead-on.

The main problem w/ me is lately, for the last month or so, I have beat the final line, yet I'm still losing overall (cbb). Too much public money?? What am I doing wrong??

Lets face it, there alot of clone books out there. They follow the lines instead of booking THEIR SHOP!

I remember years ago I was so hot in baseball... Wagering at BETCRIS, I would bet all day vs steam and win. FINALLY the head Linesmaker at BETCRIS JACK started giving me different lines and i called DONBEST and informed them that BETCRIS was not honoring the BEST LINES. DON BESTcalled BETCRIS and they immediately gave me the right lines lol..

you are a clown

you have to be one of the most retarded posters on these boards. seriously, do you have a 3rd grade education ?? grammar is not scrutinized on the internet, but that was the longest run on sentence i think i have ever seen. are you sure you aren't posting on these forums from truck stops along the interstate somewhere ?? every post of yours is you not wanting to brag, but telling us how you were the smartest unemployed line mover/clerk/janitor/porter/ in the history of the offshore business.

let me tell you something i learnt way back when from my pappy's pappy down in the bayou -- if someone has to tell you how fuc$king great they are, or how much they have, they probably aren't shit and don't have shit -- they are probably just an insecure broken down a$$hole that loves to hear themselves talk

Rainbow - it's ok - deep breath bruther! Timekeeper is just a ghost moron who enjoys getting in threads to see who he can make mad. He has nothing intelligent to say and his only motive is to say anything possible to make someone mad. The problem is he gets in the way of other people carrying on a conversation. It's sad because morons like this with multiple ghosts really have no life, no integrity, see a jerk when they look in the mirror and basically are too stupid and immature to carry on a normal conversation because it will soon become obvious they are idiots and do not know anything of importance.
