You read the one day only. Gotcha.

Haha, I really did. Someone PM'd me the link and mentioned you were trying to teach people about gambling. They found it quite funny and thought I would too. It really wasn't more than that. Until that point I didn't even realise you had a blog. Just thought you were on that tout site.

But no, I didn't read more than that day and I won't be returning unless someone tells me there's another doozy awaiting. Your writing hurts my eyes and stabs my heart a bit. It doesn't bother me when people aren't the best at written communication when they're posting on forums as no one should be expected to proofread and edit their shit. But when someone runs a blog and I see grammatical errors, spelling mistakes and even phrases repeated within the same sentence, I really can't handle it. In fact I find it disrespectful that someone thinks so little of their audience that they can't put in 10 seconds to do the work. And if it's a case of someone who doesn't even realise that they're butchering the English language, then I suspect they may have chosen the wrong tool with which to express themselves. Anyway, good luck with it all.

Just check out Casper's blog. He's now giving out the 10 Commandments of sports betting, one day at a time. The guy's been on Montel and sells plays to people?! so he's probably the best one to ask. Don't show him a tit though or Capper Chick might get angry. :)

This should start you off

Good morning blog readers. I hope you had a profitable Friday. Even though my free play tanked like the USA economy, my premium plays went 2-0 yesterday. Speaking of tanked, I was out last night with my girlfriend Capper Chick last night. After knocking back ten or so Guinness', we started writing out the Ten Commandments of sports betting. Waking up this morning, I read them and thought I would share them with you one commandment at a time. Today we start out with...

Commandment #1
THOU SHALL NOT GAMBLE ON CREDIT

This is essential to a successful gambler. Credit gambling is your sub conscious saying that you are not good enough to gamble with the funds you have accrued on your own and that you need an imaginary cushion to work with. SAVE A BANKROLL!! Credit gambling ALWAYS leads to failure. Yes, it will take more time to get to where you want to be, but you will get there with less stress and more chance of winning. Chased money happens a lot more with people playing on credit. If you are betting overseas, look for A+ websites that offer deposit bonus' with minimal rollovers. You will need to grind out a payroll, but at the end of the day, you will be happier for it!

As usual this is terrible advice and is flat out wrong. Now sure if you are a losing degenerate gambler like casper it would be best to never gamble on credit, but for the responsible professional having access to credit accounts is a very helpful tool in your betting arsenal.

Since she was giving advice to a novice I'd say it's good advice.

When Cali becomes a certified pro she can worry about credit accounts as a "very helpful tool in her betting arsenal".

Of course. I didn't even read his bullshit. I stopped after Oksie was done talking.

If you are going to be successful at it, if it's going to be a money maker, then you should treat it like you would any other business endeavor. That's like saying you shouldn't build houses on credit. You shouldn't open a store on credit.

What a fucking stupid thing to say.
 
Cali,

Let's start with baseball:

The New York Yankees play the Toronto Blue Jays today. The line for the game is Yankees -115 Blue Jays +110 If you wanted to bet on the Yankees to win the game, you would RISK a certain amount of money and divide that amount by 1.15 (the odds are -115 so move the decimal point to spots to the left) to figure out how much you would have deposited into your account WIN amount + risk amount.

The bigger the number is behind a minus sign, the more you would have to risk to win $100. -200 means you have to bet $200 to win $100

In its simplest form, the Yankees are the perceived favorite to win today because the people in Vegas believe based off statistical analysis of the pitchers, the team and thousands of other variables that the Yankees are more likely to win than the Blue Jays. So if you bet $115 on the Yankees and they won you would get $215 put into your account. If you bet the same $115 on the Blue Jays and they won, you would have $226.50 put into your account ($115 x 1.10).
