Like D-Man said I generally post the price that i've gotten the bet at - so if i'm using Betfair (or any other exchange) and team X is the favourite at -3 the price could be anywhere from -120 to +120 (depending on the volume of money bet on each side, as the thing about the Betting Exchanges is that they can't change the number on the line - the price will change instead of the number) -

So that's why you will often see on my  posts funny number like -102, -107, +109 when the bet is likely to be -110 / +110 - Unless I got down at a traditional bookies the it will more likely be -110 / +110

I don't see anything wrong with that.  Americans are just jealous they don't have access to BF or MB

You want a handicapping tip?  Spend as much time getting a good number as you do researching games. Depositing/withdrawing/depositing/withdrawing is a bitch, but I guarantee you will lose less, or win more.  I can't guarantee that for any other piece of advice

Not sure if I am guilty of it, but I do move certain posts from one day to the next without really looking at (any) interim line movement. I think it is pretty clear by the price (bought hooks, etc) whether or not it would be a play or not with a "significant" line adjustment?

And making mistakes always in Sams the Southern Sharks favor. But hopefully that will soon be exposed.

Sam also likes to post lines from LVH, but we know he's not located in Vegas, which begs the question....is he really making these wagers? Hard to believe. How many recordkeeping errors is one man allowed before PG recognizes a trend of deception? You can only use the dang keyboard is messing up so many times. The unbelievable arrogance of making a post on a game to state you are passing....what a tool.

That is pretty funny when he quotes LVH as his line

Ha hah, its hilarious Lloyd. But some things here are allowed to keep going on for some crazy reason. Someone should post what Sammy posted at that place across the street. That may bring all this to a rest once and for all.
