Books taking back millions past couple days
Lightning, Warriors, Dodgers, Edmonton under, Joker
Public is getting destroyed.
This might be a little too hardcore but it has to put in this thread. You have to possess a minimal hatred of legalized books going in.
Barstool Sports, David Portnoy being their usual sketchy selves. If you’re looking for a bad guy this is the easy take.
The true evil is the gaming commission. In this case it was Colorado. The state doesn’t matter. I have always aledged Gaming Commissions are trade associations and the notion that legalized wagering somehow protects and benefits the bettor is naive.
The principal here is James Salinas.
Salinas is one of the most successful sports betting contest winners in history, having earned over $1Million in prize money during the past few seasons. In 2015 Salinas won the largest NFL Sports Betting Contest in the world, the Westgate Resorts Super Contest, and has scored multiple cashes near the top of the leaderboard the last few years.
The denouement of this little tale is that gaming commissions ultimately drive action to the offshores and locals.
Daly, Druff and I are the last geographically fortunate wagerers and my luck is about to run out. The Golden Age of Wagering is drawing to a close.
Chess anyone?
Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeelax sal brons a billionaire lakers will be back next year
Think I had posted the original a few pages back. It’s fucking criminal what these legal books on either side of the pond are getting away with. They aren’t bookmakers they are leeches.
I think we have a few years left but I wouldn’t be surprised if the peak has been put in.
[QUOTE=Sanlmar;1034335]I’m fairly certian I said on the record that paying off a mortgage early when you have it a 3% and the current rate is 5% is mathematically foolish……… however
I did also say I’ve never met anyone who has truly retired without owning their home(s). If you aren’t paying the bank anything it’s possible to live off social security alone. If you have housing payments including homeowners insurance (and have a car payment or credit card debit) you need to have 7 figures + saved.
Both are correct and diametricaly opposed.
Portnoy was calling Salinas “a crybaby”. You know who doesn’t do that? Offshores. Where do these new books get their people? Legal sports wagering got too big too fast and the business and gaming commissions are populated by people with no skills. You go to legal books like Circa or SouthPoint and their managers and supervisors are 60 and 70 year old guys who know the business.
My biggest beef… and this is where I disagree with you about “a couple of years” is the notion that legalizing and licensing bookmaking somehow protected and benefitted the consumer. Gaming commissions don’t give any cares about the consumer. Legalization is a pure money grab. The exact moment a book is blessed by a Gaming Commission it is tainted. not years later.
I’m in a couple of Discord’s. My intention was to harvest ideas. They are populated by legal book consumers with their “free bets” odds boosters and cash outs. SGP parlays and shit prop prices. What shocks me is the juice they are accustomed to.
I went on YouTube the other day and I got a curated video from Pub Sports Radio. The guy in the video had the game he was discussing with odds scrolling at he bottom of the page while he talked. I couldn’t believe the number that was so casually accepted.
I used to use Sports Book Review as kind of an aggregator of lines offered for games. Now they just have 3 or 4 books. They don’t list the legal books. That is something I’d like to see daily just for the lulz.
I have zero intention of betting in Massachusetts. I have never driven to NH or Rhode Island to place a bet. I’m really not a degenerate despite my self flagellation. If I can’t get dime lines for baseball I’ll just find something else to do during the summer. There is lots of gamble available in other markets besides sports.
“Months” not “years” except for raking the new customer bonuses.
The only faint hope is that public ridicule like this video might help matters. The luscious irony is that VSIN was bought by Draftkings. . How perfect is that? The sports wagering ecosystem is just plain poison

Remember the Postle guy? The poker player who cheated in a legal card room. Todd ends up in litigation with Postle.
During the whole affair Todd never questioned the role of the gaming commission in this matter. You know, making sure the games are clean. I mean what exactly would a gaming commission’s role be otherwise. Do they help with the snack bar menu?
I tuned the story out after a while. My take was none of Todd’s headaches would have occurred if the hammer came down on Postle from the state. Todd attacked the problem on a micro not macro level.
Maybe Todd did address the lack legal oversight. I doubt it. Todd was always an advocate of “light regulation”. You know, legal but not too legal. Todd wasn’t likely to throw stones cause he never changes his position.
Todd has been completely silent regarding legalized sports wagering oversight as well - aside from the damn Indians in California.
1:10pm Las Vegas time
Hopefully you wake up in time to hit the book.
Fedde v Mahle - I know you know
Poker is paid for today. yw
Full game is the preferred choice.
Legalized sports betting is coming to California. The hold up is the Indian Casinos want a monopoly, they have a shit ton of cash, and own a lot of whores in the legislature. It’s going to happen because in California, the Democrats, never, ever, turn down a potential revenue source. Just a matter of time.
I do wish you would expand on this thought you choose to reiterate.
Meanwhile, back in the real world
Eliminating sharp action and promoting parlays is a stated business strategy. Investment banks can relate easily, I’m sure
DraftKings Inc. (DKNG) CEO Jason Robins Presents at Goldman Sachs 2022 Travel and Leisure Conference (Transcript)

Fun Draftking tweets about identifying their “B” employees and perhaps lowering salaries and not grieving if they are lured away. Which is just nonsense masking the third rail of LAYOFFS
Fading stupid gambling stocks is more profitable than parlays
Can’t talk shit w/o putting some picks out there for ridicule
Sawks full game is a Druff bet if I ever saw one.
Red Sox started @ +110 or whatever. Wacha vs Syndegaard. This is a Syndegaard nostalgia deal. Wacha has been elite. Angels losing streak. Trout in funk. Sawks smashing.
The rest are obvious. Astros my favorite.
Live bet Warriors +8.5 +120
FYI you guys should fade Mike Minor for as long as the Reds keep running him out. He has sucked big time since 2020, and this year he's even worse because he's coming off a long injury.
My one pick today:
Kansas City (Bubic) -108 vs. Baltimore (Lyles)
Battle of two last place teams. Lyles has the better overall numbers, but has allowed 3-5 runs in his last 6 starts. Bubic was bombed on 3 occasions -- the last being May 4 -- and has an ERA over 9. However, he shut out the Astros over 5.3 innings last time out.
Don't blame me if Bubic gets bombed again, but I think he's actually going to pitch better than Lyles this time.
