I see the Philly under now, still at 202.

I'm going to Denver/Dallas tonight. How should I fire? I know that Dallas beat SAC in OT last night but Denver is awful.

[Dan Druff]

So this is going to be an interesting test of Bovada's sports customer service.

They have more juice than 5Dimes and bad lines, but I haven't signed up to 5Dimes yet because of the hassle.

But this is about to motivate me.

If Bovada won't reverse this shit a few minutes later, when this is literally the first time I ask for something like this after tons of bets, then I'm done betting there.

They won't

[Brittney Griner's Clit]

And you aren't done betting there.

[Brittney Griner's Clit]

Take under. Dallas scored like no points in second half last night and will slow pace. I think Denver wins straight up as well but under stronger play.


Edit: Warning. Taking an under is a gay way to take in a game live however.

Double Edit: Thanks for making me panic that the game was in Dallas for a minuite.

Triple Edit:

Here's my college stuff.

St John's +3
Maryland -14
LSU +6
Marquette -5½
USC +5
Villanova -10
California +2


Marquette, Vilanova, and Cal are my strongest.

Yeah, I may just ride the Nugs for a sweat. You're right, going and betting an under sucks.

I think I'll fire on Blazers -4 also. Love that team

[Brittney Griner's Clit]

Weed is legal and your team is the Nugs. You can't make this shit up.

So as Sheboon said, they won't budge.

For a laugh, I asked if they would switch me to the "sharp" lines, and the Filipino dude denied those exist.

I then asked if they would switch me to them if I could prove that they exist, and the guy kept asking, "Show me who your friend is and I'll look into it", obviously to take it away from whoever told me about it.

So I said, "I'll only show you if you can promise you will give me his sharp lines and not take away his", and the guy wouldn't promise that, simply saying, "Only one set of lines exist."



I was only speaking to a supervisor instead of a manager, though, and the supervisors are useless at Bovada.

It really sucks because I like the over a lot there, but I can't bring myself to double-juice it, especially after I already paid 15% juice with the -115. So I'll just hope I was wrong and this will become either a LOL lucky story or a frustrating loss where I should have won.

Really am going to set up a 5Dimes account today, and will only bet Bovada when either they have a better line or I'm busto at 5Dimes.

[Brittney Griner's Clit]

OMG THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHO THEY ARE MESSING WITH!

I hadn't tried to reverse a bet with bovada but back in the day I called in somewhere and I kept asking for a person higher up until I got someone American sounding on the phone who was probably pretty high up. Once I got to him he laughed at me and hung up. SportsInteraction.com I think was the site.


Edit: Radio prank call? I guess it would be hard because you would have to have a username and password to get in so you would have to be yourself. I mean even if it wasn't exactly funny it would be highly interesting to me.

If the under was -115, isn't the over less juice? ie -105?

[matos]

It's time for some mid-week nfl playoff bets. Last week i was 3/4 with a moneyline bink, so obv that has no effect on this week since I am just betting hunches and you should probably bet the opposite. All that said here goes:

I advise both underdog moneylines, provided you get them above +200. Gotta figure one of these dogs wins. Also go ahead and bet on the dogs in the spread too.

And now for some prop bets!

Which game will have higher ratings:
IND vs NE -140, obv patriots fans will make this the most watched, boston strong. China please tune in 5 tvs for this game and watch the other game at the bar. TIA

How many calls will be overturned both games combined
Over 1 and 1/2 -120
These refs don't ever get shit right, so this is a sure thing obv


That's all for now. Good luck on all your bets this weekend.

Don't know about Sportsinteraction, but at Bovada the only people with any power there are the Canadians. If you get someone with a Canadian accent, you have a shot at some decent service. If you get a Filipino, you might as well just hang up.

Of course, I am a masochist so I argue with the Filipinos anyway, and then hang up in a terrible mood.

I'm watching the public now pile onto the over. I think I'm going to get clobbered on this one. I would LOVE to laugh about this when my "pick" loses and I win, but I have a feeling it's going to go the other way, and I'm going to be really pissed off tonight.

The sad thing is that I always check what I click, but this wasn't an actual misclick, but a mind-bend, where I was so used to betting unders (and was thinking of the Philly under) that I really I thought I was correctly betting under until right afterwards.

The worst thing is that I liked this one best of the picks I posted today.

I'll take half your bet, but only if you agree to take the other half and NOT lay off at all.

Well, I bet 805 to win 700, so to win back 805, I would have to bet 845.25.

And then if over won, I would break even, and if under won, I would lose 145.25.

And I could bet less than 845.25 to kinda middle it where it's a guaranteed lesser loss, but that would still be over $70.

So it's close to the same juice as if it were -110, just spread out a different way.

Don't bet the over

[Dan Druff]

Don't bet the over

I wasn't going to bet back the over anyway. Fuck Bovada. But okay, you have a deal.

Under 190 -115. You take $402.50 to win $350, and I take the same.

Deal?
