ru93 0 Posted December 28, 2011 I'm taking an extended break. I've been grinding on a daily basis in multiple sports since April, been posting in these threads since August, and would like to bail out with a positive yet dwindling margin, especially with the extended slump I'm currently in. I finished up in some sports, down in other sports, and mostly had fun while riding the roller coaster. I'm really tired from the daily research. Good luck to all who continue on. I thank everybody who provided information or feedback. I'll be back a couple of weeks into baseball season. Hate to hear that philly, hope you still stay around the forum to give some opinions.

ru93 0 Posted January 3, 2012 Who do you bet with? I'd love to go 3 & 3 and break even. Don't you pay the VIG? I do all my action through Betonline, and yes I pay the VIG so when you count that in I do finish a little behind when I go 500. for the day. I don't have that high of a "roll" so my bets are small which makes the VIG less noticeable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ru93 0 Posted January 6, 2012 I really need to focus on poker and stay away from sports gambling, at least basketball it seems. Going to keep on though until the bowl games and the playoffs are over at least...if my basketball gambling stats are still below average then I will probably bag it till baseball season and focus on poker for a month or two.

BunnysBastatrds 1,963 Posted January 7, 2012 Take LSU and the points spread and tease the over. I'd go with the over. The Dome is going to be 70/30 LSU. It's a home game for them. Just saying! And when LSU wins, they will be the best ever to win the National Championship. No other team has been number one after beating the top two and top three.................EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ru93 0 Posted January 8, 2012 The Bengals was a homer pick because I am a fan, that was stupid. The Spurs played a bad enough 4th quarter to where they couldn't cover the spread...they win by 4, I need 5. The Warriors are not as good as I thought they were, I was thinking they are a average team but there not. I suck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ru93 0 Posted January 9, 2012 Time to bag it. Going turn my whole focus to poker when it comes to Betonline for the next month or two at least...poker is the only reason I have somewhat of a roll left on there. I will be back probably around March. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
