Your friend should bet favorites and overs or unders and dogs to make it less obvious to the bookie. If he starts winning parlaying 1st halfs and game lines, it's going to be pretty friggin obvious to the bookie what's going on.

Betting -28 and over 52 though? That might have a little longer shelf life.

You should study the concept of 'long-term greedy.'

Of course, if you think other of his bettors will figure this out insta-like, than yes.

I knew a bookie who would allow you to parlay baseball games w/o adjusting it for the line. I made a a killing till he would no longer take my action.

He did ask if I wanted to partner w.him and take some of his games. I of course declined

This is 100% correct, rape this guy for as much as you can...but use totals...if he offers them, they areveasyer to hit...if its 27 -3 at half, its likely to go over the 41 posted total. get it? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I agree this sheep will be skinned by someone in short order, might as well be you. Load the muskets.
