I have been asked by Shay to post this on his behalf.
Lads, I've been banned from Pregame for 7 days for being a "jerk". I am a jerk 24/7 but it's what makes me good at betting. I don't suffer fools or idiotic reasons for or against making a bet. I understand value from years of experience in Europe Sportsbooks where I can't get a bet on in my name, my friends name or my girlfriends name.
I came to Pregame to better understand how US bettors think as the US will open up to European books in the next ten years and it may be a career opportunity for me with the book I represent. I understand I upset plenty along the way with my tone but fundamentality US sports bettors are so unsophisticated and behind Europe in every way that it makes me point it out.
There will come a time in the US when Sportsbooks don't treat ordinary bettors with contempt with their pathetic uncompetitive lines and give the average Joe value for his buck. Right know US Sportsbooks are run by absolutes idiots that don't understand that offering price based on liability offering a price -EV is an option.
Anyway I degress. My attitude to idiots and tone of post won't change so I'll give the Pregame forum a miss in future. I was pleased so many members embraced what I was posting despite my haters constantly suggesting I wax contributing nothing to the forum. My thread didn't get 23,000 views by chance.
I was in Vegas this time last year and your Sportsbooks are light years behind Europe and that is an indisputable fact
Good luck right your wagers.
