Quote from: WILL CLINTON on December 02, 2013, 08:43:04 pm
I know. I realize and think about all of this as I'm doing it. Last weekend, I had less than half as many bets as this weekend, and hit 62%. When I'm at home and nothing is going on, I still have kids, g/f, house stuff, etc to take my mind off of being bored. But at work, all I can do is stare at a screen when there is nothing going on. so I end up with 3-5 games going, and a screen that is just set to the in-game bets screen.

To be honest, after I got down so much in the first part of the season, I honestly didn't even think I'd still be in it this year, so I have been AWFULLY reckless. This is my worst year by far, and I know 100% what to attribute it to.


At least you know how to go about fixing it.  Wow dunno what made me notice because I rarely pay attention to karma.  Rarely applaud or smite ever, but just noticed yours is exactly even.  You are even Steven!

Wow 34-7 game going into the 4th playing the over on a 46 point total.  You generally think that ones in the bag.  Lol oh well.

Yeah, I am pretty free and liberal with my +1's in this thread, but when I see something like that, I usually don't because I don't want to mess up the balance.

DadVader1

I just closed my Bookmaker account because of the hassles of making a withdrawal.  In the past, I usually made one withdrawal late in the season and left in what I wanted as my starting bankroll for the next season.  They always tried to charge for the withdrawal but would always agree to a free payout.  I tried to make a withdrawal earlier today and was told that the free ACH withdrawal was no longer available.  The only "free" withdrawal was if I would pay $25.00 to set up a ridiculously fee-laden debit card.  I told them that I would keep the account open if they could find a way to give me a free payout, but if I had to pay a fee, I would pay it one time to close the account.  They couldn't find a way for that to happen, so I closed the account.  In the past, it seemed like it was fairly standard to be able to get one free withdrawal per month.  Is that still the case at most other sites?  I'll be looking for a new home or two for my bankroll when the check arrives in a week or two.  Thanks for any recommendations.

DV.  I opened an account at BM for the first time this year. What did they finally charge you? Who will you change to? Thanks.

DadVader1

They charged $50 for a check.  I can at least take some satisfaction in knowing that they had to pay me over 13x what I deposited with them at the beginning of last season.  I'm not sure where I'll land yet.  I will probably take a friend up on an introduction to a local and finish this season offline.  I'll probably also move some of it to an old 5Dimes account and try to find one more place that is reputable and that offers an occasional free payout.  Also, are there times (like maybe right before the Super Bowl) when sites seem to offer better deposit matching bonuses?

Let me know if you consider sportsbook. I've never paid for a payout, and they have matching deposit bonuses almost daily it seems. If you want an acct, let me know and I'll refer you.

Thanks Will!  Unfortunately, SB isn't an option.  I already have an account set up with them that I let my father use as his own so that he doesn't get questions from my mother about the withdrawals and deposits.

That's awesome.  You're a good son.   :'(

DadVader1

Thanks!  He taught me well.

I'm sitting out this week as I wait on the check from the closed account.  I still need data from a few key rating systems.  With so few games, there are very few preliminary results that are standing out.  These two don't fall into as many of the best trends as in a usual week, but ULL +3 and Utah St. +3.5 pop up in a decent number of positive trends.  ULL looks the best of the two.

I'm definitely glad to hear that. Almost went ML myself, would have at 2.5. Looking forward to a second half shootout.

Sure, didn't know if anyone was even interested. Not that it mattered tonight. He was wrong, and I ended up 0-3.

Sips +16.5 / 2 units
Sips Baylor under 74/ 3 units
Okie St -9.5 / 5 units

It's fun making some of my own bets, even if I only win 39% of the time. So hedging my OSU pick (1u) against your MSU pick (I did 5u) is good business. Same w/ my OU pick and your Dirty Sanchez pick.

I appreciate you.

I know central florida has it all wrapped up but unless smu's starting qb is back, smu will have Neal Burcham from Greenbrier as their qb. He started last week against Houston and lost 34-0. I'm pulling for him but business is business.  ;)

Oh, I definitely don't see osu being 6 points better just really fear a screw job. Big 10 desperate to get into that game.  Personally id love to see bama beat that ass in the sugar. Mich state and Stanford would make for a hell of a rose bowl too if Stanford can win tonite

WILL CLINTON

I realy need Rice to slow down and start running the hell out of the ball.
