Isn't your post contradicting itself? You think a casino gives a shit if some high roller gets hot at the roulette table and wins 200k? No of course not, they know that all the money plus some will be funneled back to them. Similarly, do you think an advantage gambler cares if they go 0-3 tonight but beat the CL by an average 2 points?[/QUOTE]
Actually, yes I do..............
Samething applies when I lose thousands on a 102% video poker machine............I care.
Yes, keep repeating to myself that I made money "on paper", but when one gets hit over the head repeatedly for days or weeks, it's hard not to care in some capacity.
Having said that, in the grand scheme of things, you are 100% correct in your statements................and although I personally "do care", my subconscious mind(however decayed), knows everything will work out in the longterm and my worries and cares are not truly warranted.
Winning and caring is two different things... Take my word for whatever its worth, if you can beat the closing line by 2 or more points its IMPOSSIBLE to LOSE PERIOD... I have too many years experience in this busines to think differently...Isn't your post contradicting itself?

............the only way is if one is wagering more than their "RISK to RUIN" ................and they go broke before things turn.
Most everyone here(at least I would hope), knows if one beats every closing number by 2 pts and has a sound money management approach, it is impossible to lose.
No dog in the fight - never have subscribed to RAS as Ed can confirm - but why in the world would anyone fade a 54+% handicapper unless the line moved like 5 points? Do you know how much of a move it takes to go from 54+% to 47%? And RAS doesn't really ever weigh their plays differently, so them posting historical win rate is valid aside from small sample.
"Decent" 35-24 :+textinb3
Yeah it would take 4 games to make it a break even prop, and 7 moves to make it profitable, just betting the spreads fading. maybe not as profitable as if you got the very best, but definitely more of an advantage if you didnt.
I thought you were smarter than that. 35-24 is a small sample size. If someone gets the worst of a line move 10 times and 4 of those 10 lose then he is 31-28, and is barely breaking even, and losing after he pays the service more than likely.
Dont fall into the trap of win percentages, especially with so small a sample. A HUGE difference between 35-24 and 640-445, and an even bigger difference between that and 2305-1602.
While math rarely has any part in sports betting VARIANCE does. So with small sample sizes like that variance is a ball buster. Wouldnt be too hard to find 4 plays he lost due to a line move(with his 59 releases), would be impossible to find 71 line moves (what it would take to make the 640-445 give similar returns).
Seriously guys dont have a clue sometimes when it come to gambling. raised on tout speak and rhetoric and what a guys win % is versus what his ROI is.
Also he weights his plays, maybe only 2 weights and a majority of them are a single weight, but ANY change in bet size negates ANY mythical win or loss percentages when they talk about overall record.
is it really this hard?
No, its real simple... Just beat the closing line by 2 or more points and its IMPOSSIBLE to LOSE PERIOD... PS: Stay away from the other side of the counter, because you will be paying WISEGUYS off every week with SQUARES money, sure you will win but you will MINIMIZE your WINNINGS for the year...Yeah it would take 4 games to make it a break even prop, and 7 moves to make it profitable, just betting the spreads fading. maybe not as profitable as if you got the very best, but definitely more of an advantage if you didnt.

Like I said in another post I have about 8000 games that prove that statement false. Just in games where the line moved 2 or more points (at a majority of the books in my database) the opener (or actually the 'best' number) won versus a closer (or extreme that lost, so actually better than a closer) is only 24% of the time. The time the line move was 'wrong' meaning the team lost anayway regardless is pretty amazing too if you all think 'sharp' guys were betting it. That result is 48% so basically they were "right' 52 (51.6%) of the time, so basically a coin flips chance.
I am not going to give out specifics because it wouldnt matter. I could show you a screen shot and people still wouldnt believe it. All the age old theories are easilly dismissed and proven wrong with a little bit of data. I have numbers upon numbers, and moves upon moves that show without a doubt the numbers are right around what you would expect...between 47 and 53%.
I know too many people are lost in fantasyland to believe that but whatever, thats why they are where they are, and people who bother to check are where they are.
In he grand scheme it really doesnt help you pick winners. All it does is delude you into thinking guys that move the numbers win more than guys that dont. Or beating a number more often than not is better, when it isnt. Not within the whole system.
Like I said getting the best line and the best odds is obviously one part of the recipe of success, but always getting it isnt a guarantee for success, no matter who set the line or who moved it.
Like I said you can believe your myths and legends I will believe a database that has the results. Something that has a perfect memory and no emotions or bias or preconceived notions just something that spits out a result when presented with certain parameters.
Either way these theoretical and mythology lessons are always fun and it really breaks down who uses the technology available and who is either suckered into myth and story telling and who believes what someone said is commonsense at one time or another.

:doh1
Wantit, please stop bragging about your data. I would lay 4 to 1 that you don't have any database I don't currently have, or could get within 24 hours if I really cared. I would like to see a screenshot of your column names just because I don't think you really know how to properly use your data, but that's beside the point.
If you think that 47% vs. 53% (or 48 vs 52) over 8,000 plays is a negligible difference than this conversation can't advance any further. When the break-even win rate against -105 is 51.22% and 52.38% vs. -110 that's the difference between winning and losing. When Matchbook was around 50.5% was enough to make money.
on a random 10 games you have 4 of them landing on the number?........if 40% of nfl games landed it wouldnt matter if fast eddie went 59-0 or 0-59.....there would be no one to bet with
All the people that I know that are LIFETIME winners beat the closing line.. I don't know one person that bets into a CONCRETE LINE is a LIFETIME WINNER... Maybe you know lots of people that win and it doesn't matter if they bet a good number or a bad number...

For the record, I did not post this, why is it quoting me, please don't confuse me with wanti...................:tub:
I dont have any he doesnt release his plays.
We have HUNDREDS that are LIFETIME WINNERS in our office... You must think you are the LONE RANGER...LOL.. Or you just don't know any better... I EARN off of WISEGUYS PERIOD... Not off of PROPS, or FUTURES... Thats why the LIMITS are low...I dont have any he doesnt release his plays. I am just pointing out it isnt hard for him to become a break even capper, since everyone here agrees he moves the lines (the one thing most agree on) if a very small number of his games move enough to become losers.
That is why I have asked for him to give a list of plays or even his results if he has them of how many of his releases lost versus a number that appeared after he released them.
If he moved every single game a point or more then it wouldnt be hard to find a couple pushes to be sure, if they move 2 points then it might not be hard to find a loss or two either. That is what people here dont get, the more the line moves the more margin for going against. And all the bullshit that these guys know enough that their moves win regardless is fucking retarded.
got some wannabe bookmaker here spouting the same shit for years. When he is working for a place that doesnt want you to really know how it works. So of course they keep the company line. Why would a guy want you to figure out how they run their business if youre in the position of trying to beat them? Especially since they are gambling as well rather than balancing action.
I beat the greek for a lot of money back a few years ago, so either rainbow doesnt really know jack or he isnt as observant as he thinks he is. because I am sure if they keep a list or watch people who beat them up like I did for about 4 years I am sure my name is there. Also surprised shrinky dink didnt mention it a time or two.
Either ay I am done, you guys can keep living in your fantasy land.
Ed is a good guy and I am sure he means well, but the way he sells and releases his picks just isnt going to work for more than a handful of people, and none if the books are getting his numbers before they are released or even at release. And in the long run guys who get his picks, line shop and use correlated plays will do better fading him than a majority of his clients will following a play where the line has moved, assuming that is he moves the lines enough. Bottom line is use common sense and play bets that have a chance to win and where you get the best of it regardless.
Read who wrote the post... Wanti scraped it... Sorry about that...For the record, I did not post this, why is it quoting me, please don't confuse me with wanti...................:tub:

His plays are posted on their website 10 minutes after the game starts...

He pretty much is fucking correct!
You guys pick and choose your results.
And that doesn't give you winners.
The typical "TOUT" also doesn't go into business with a bank robber, giving said bank robber advance notice of the plays. I know your excuse is "it only happened for six weeks" as if that's any sort of an excuse. And it's not as if Baker wasn't already known as a criminal before you went into business with him, that was long after he used Beyond Capping passwords to hack into other accounts of theirs. The one thing Fezzik and RAS have in common is that both had an advertising relationship with 2+2 that was terminated because of various shady practices.
Now it all makes sense, people who go after others on a personal basis always have skeletons of their own. Eddie Angle is exactly who I said he was. Why EOG does business with this fraud is beyond me, come on guys you can do better then allowing this two-bit tout to run amok over your place of business.
High, there is direct correlation between winning and beating the closers. That said you are one of few that sees right between Eddie, I give you credit for that. Winners don't need to hustle their opinions, they bet them. He's a con (and hangs around/does business with these types) and a fraud. Makes me physically ill this site doesn't have the balls to stand up to this tout and send his shit to the Asylum where it belongs. Anyone sending him a dime would have to be nuts.

Eddie, to be honest, you are not coming across well here on the forums of EOG..................
Having said that, I reckon bad press is nearly as productive as good press in the tout business.
For the record, I have no dog in this fight.
I do enjoy the conversations between McIrish(and others) and you though, good reading at times.
Any comment on this tough guy?
