"the points won't matter"

[QUOTE=sasquatch;15766]The M had -3, laying -135.[/QUOTE] That's exactly my point -3 -135. NOT -3 -114, which NEVER EXISTED GAMEDAY!

The only reason I posted the bet is because you talk in such absolutes as if you have info on everything and from everywhere and you state it so matter-of-factly. At times it's funny to see one pontificate to such a degree and at other times I guess it's just annoying. This morning I guess it was the latter for me but I've had my coffee since so I'm OK now. Good Luck today and heres hoping none of the points matter going forward.

One thing is a lock: the points WILL matter going forward. All this started when I asked shooter where he bet NO at -3 -114, as I wanted to bet them at -3 also. -3 -114 was an imaginary line, and not the first one. Fortunately, I got my NO -3 at the half. Why did I want to bet NO at -3? We had WAY too much money on Min at +4 1/2 +4, and especially at +3 1/2 +110. All my posted plays are for one net unit, but often we end up with 5 or more units on one side.

He's a bitter old man who hates that young bucks are better cappers than he is and steal his thunder. He takes shots at me whenever possible to compensate for his own insecurity. He's mad b/c I am a working stiff and he is a professional who has help from a partner and I am still better than him. Just pretend he doesn't exist, like I do.

I've won for 51 straight years, and am ANYTHING but bitter. I have been EXTREMELY lucky to be at the right place at the right time. HOWEVER, that does not mean I'm a softy; I'm ANYTHING but soft. You never answered my question. I wanted to bet New Orleans at -3 -114, but could not find anything close to that ANYWHERE. REPEAT: many of your lines are pure fiction, and, pointing out that fact, is sharp. I see others' questioning someone's play at a questionable line in a recent thread, so posters are concerned that a line is WA at the time of a post. It's not a small matter.

What do you want him to do? If you want to pick on him, pick on him for deleting a thread so now anyone keeping track of his record will no longer be able to. There are enough rogue lines (which you yourself mention liberally) with locals that he could get his lines at. He never said he was using Pinny. He said he was using the line he got down at. Neither of you are saints, but if you're going to pick on someone, pick a real issue. Or better yet, send him a PM so the rest of us don't need to see it. Hearing about how a sportsbook cheats people is important. Cockfighting about whether someone's bet is real is not. If someone wants to tail another's pick with an inferior line, it's their own fault when the game lands on the number or the tailer gets hooked.

I try to be a saint about posting lines. No one has EVER questioned my posted lines which come directly from Pinny (95%+), and rarely from Cris or the Greek within a few minutes of my post. That's over thousands of bets.
