Re: "CANNON THE GREAT" SPORTS SELECTIONS
I find it just amazing the level of stupidity you two bozos can reach. If you go back to my thread I stated i play the road favorites for about a month after the all star break till they cool off. If you notice I was posting plays with copies of my bets for about $500-$600 a game including run lines and first half plays. I stoped betting road favorites about 4 weeks ago after I won about20 K. The road favorites always quit winning and the lines to through the roof in mid August. I continue to monitor them for my own records just to see how they do. I said they would stop winning as they always do. Would be good to bet the home dogs.

Re: "CANNON THE GREAT" SPORTS SELECTIONS
If you look at my bets I placed I went from $500-$600 a game weeks #1-5 down to $100 a game in week #6 did not play the last two weeks just posted and tracked. You "Square Bear are the worst capper on the net. As for you Unlucky Chucky you are like the family member everybody hopes does not come to the family reunion but when you show up they let you stay because you are still family. How is Owen Beck doing? That Russian nearly killed him in that fight. Did he get hired at Sam's Warehouse yet.

Gyno, your posts truly reflects how PATHETIC you are... Some of us post winners for the sake of the 1000 plus honest views.. Then there are losers like you that post to try to make up for your miserable exsistence by making what you think are friends. You were laughed at and basically banned from the RX for being YOURSELF.. lol, that is really SAD... I have made 6 figures by offering my plays to the public you have not made 6 figures in your lifetime let alone through gambling... You gyno are a child-milesting / stiffing / square that any solid poster or capper laughs at if they read your worthless post/plays.. Your seriously not respected by anyone that knows the game.. sleep on that...

Well Cannon in 9 years of posting CFB / NFL / CBB / NBA plays I have never done worse then 52% YTD in any tracked / documented cat. So I wold say ZERO to your question. and the 391 enjoying 65% winners this FB season say life is good as well...
Now lets look at the one year you were tracked with your "SYSTEMS" 07' in CFB / CBB you finsished under 42% winners in each for a grand total of 39% winners all told.. There is a reason nobody looks at or responds to your BS posts anymore.. The reason is your fvcking awful and alot of newbies lost money following your garbage because of your misleading titles in your threads.. Thank god that will never happen again.. Now your making us sharps $$$ on the fades of your square action.. Keep up the stellar work son..

If you notice I am second in NCAA and will be in the top 5 again this week in NFL tracked plays. That means I have lots of money that I am up CHUCKY BABY! That is how you can bet big because my bankroll is + about 75 units already. I am the only guy in the top 5 of both NCAA and NFL. I track my plays you can't because you always lose unless you post after the games are over. I think my won loss this week is 31-20. Winning my ass off as usual. How much are you down betting on OWEN BECK? The Russian nearly killed him in that fight.

Re: "CANNON THE GREAT" SPORTS SELECTIONS
How To Play Chuck-Luck
By Jimmy Cox
Mar 14, 2008
There are various games of chance played with dice. Only one or two of these are still played in gambling houses - Craps being the big dice game these days. But you might want to play this game with the fellows, or it may come back to the gambling halls.
CHUCK-LUCK
Chuck-Luck or Bird Cage used to be a favorite in the old western gambling halls. And it rated tops in the modern casinos until Craps came into being. However, it's still played occasionally in the bigger houses.
Chuck-Luck is a simple game. Three one-inch dice are tumbled over and over in a cage until they come to rest face up. Before each turn of the cage, bets are placed on a layout divided into 6 squares and numbered 1 through 6. The house pays various odds on bets corresponding to those shown on the dice.
An example, if a dollar is bet on each of six numbers (and the dice come up 1, 4 and 6), the house pays out three dollars to the winners and collects three dollars from those betting on 2, 3 and 5. But the house couldn't make any money if the betting stayed to this level. So it doesn't.
On doubles and triples, the house pays double and triple. A tempting bet for the customer. But the odds are 216 to 199 in favor of the house, or about 7.9%.
PRINCIPAL BETS IN CHUCK-LUCK
On triples, a bet that the throw will be any triple, such 3-3-3 or 5-5-5, the house pays 30 to 1. But the actual odds are 35 to 1. You can also "call your triple" and if it comes up, the house pays 180 to 1. Great odds? Not when you consider the correct odds or chances of making it. They are 215 to 1.
For a particular total, from 4 to 17, the house pays less than the correct odds. The house advantage in each case ranges from 10% to 20%.
The house pays even money on High (total 11 to 17), Low (total 4 to 10), Odd and Even numbers. But the house wins whenever a triple shows in the High and Low Bets.
If you want to set up a "friendly game" at home you can buy all the equipment. A cage, highly polished, runs around $100. A cloth layout, about $15. And a set of three dice, about $10.
To make the game "unfriendly" the rest of the equipment can be had for a price. A magnet to hook up under the cage, plus batteries, wires and operator's switch cost between $75 and $100. And three magnetic dice, about $50. Rather expensive (but if you're that kind of a guy), the equipment pays for itself. For instance, 15 loses if 5-5-5 comes up, and 9 loses if 3-3-3 comes up. Still, these bets are the best for the player. The correct odds are only 111 to 105 against him.
This is a great game, so enjoy it whenever you have the opportunity. Good luck!

PRINCIPAL BETS IN CHUCK-LUCK
On triples, a bet that the throw will be any triple, such 3-3-3 or 5-5-5, the house pays 30 to 1. But the actual odds are 35 to 1. You can also "call your triple" and if it comes up, the house pays 180 to 1. Great odds? Not when you consider the correct odds or chances of making it. They are 215 to 1.
For a particular total, from 4 to 17, the house pays less than the correct odds. The house advantage in each case ranges from 10% to 20%.
The house pays even money on High (total 11 to 17), Low (total 4 to 10), Odd and Even numbers. But the house wins whenever a triple shows in the High and Low Bets.
If you want to set up a "friendly game" at home you can buy all the equipment. A cage, highly polished, runs around $100. A cloth layout, about $15. And a set of three dice, about $10.
To make the game "unfriendly" the rest of the equipment can be had for a price. A magnet to hook up under the cage, plus batteries, wires and operator's switch cost between $75 and $100. And three magnetic dice, about $50. Rather expensive (but if you're that kind of a guy), the equipment pays for itself. For instance, 15 loses if 5-5-5 comes up, and 9 loses if 3-3-3 comes up. Still, these bets are the best for the player. The correct odds are only 111 to 105 against him.
This is a great game, so enjoy it whenever you have the opportunity. Good luck!
