Re: The Well: B00T
I guess I should try and interject some actual tips instead of just flapping on about stuff that is of no use to anybody here.
I definitely put a strong value on Poisson and its results in regards to bets. There are plenty of props and other bets out there where this can be of great use and profit.
You need to have a strong risk tolerance and be impervious to the idea that you can run awful and take a huge hit you roll.
One bet I can remember quite clearly was taking a Mussina strikeout prop in the playoffs. It was something like O 3.5 strikeouts +170 and U3 -110. I found this on a few sites and loaded up on it maxing it out. I got burned and lost 4 figures on the bet, but don't regert it at the slightest.
I loaded up on the Cy Young prop, loaded up meaning, maxing out all my accounts, calling friends and having them create accounts, and using other people's accounts to get money down. I was exposed for almost $10k on certain results but knew the payoffs warrant the risk.
(sidenote)I am horrible at explaining things, especially written responses compared to many others on this board.
Look for polish middles that are EV. There are polish middles on like 22 pts for a halftime line. I am involved in a small group of hardcore scalpers who hate that I even post here, but I see countless times they see polish middles on 22 pts, or other obscure things at like 30% returns and pass them up. Granted, they are gigantic nits [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] and make plenty of money off other stuff, but this is one area I see that is never talked about on this board.
Don't be afraid to gamble on things. These guys play $2k NL and wouldn't think twice about going all in pf with AA, but are afraid at the 5% chance one of these polish middles rain on you than the 20% your AA will lose to a random hand.
Take your skirts off, everyone, and take any edge you can get.
