Good luck

As long as I can keep this up do I really care if I get blown out like the Jets game/ at least I thought I was getting blown out when I went to bed. They did come back to challenge the spread at least.

Tonight my money is on the Sun Devils. This is probably because of the five years it took me to graduate from Arizona State. Not gonna let any other games distract me.

Got my line in at -10 this morning, I've heard you can do better than me though.

But the goal of oddsmaking for the casino oddsmakers is not to predict the outcome of a game, it is to furnish the bettors with a betting line that will split the public in two with half of the people betting one side and half on the other.

Or what I should say is he didn't go far enough.

This here is a quote from one of my sponsers. Sorry can't remeber who - just click on all of them. lol

How did I pick Friday's games? Simple. Which betting community would be busy traveling and which would still be betting as if there was no tomorrow. Now I know L.A. going up against Orlando should have been a bet on L.A. on Friday, but sometimes you can't help what else you see.

My point here is this. Chicago, New York, Philly are cities where the offsprings migrate away from their parents. These folks whether they are currently living in North Carolina, Georgia, or California remain loyal to their old home town teams. They simply were to busy to bet. And what about the folks and family in these cities getting ready for the family members to come visit and stay with them from out of state? do you think they were betting on a Nicks game they couldn't watch? Do you think it would have made a difference whether the New Jersy line was +1, +3, +6, or +8? If the New Jersy/New York crowd is not in the position to bet, they arn't going to. The line shift did not balance the betting pool. It just swung the odds against the main players betting the game.

Now I know what you are thinking. Like people loyal to Georgia teams don't gamble - yeah right. The hard could fact is. The person that hop on a flight from Atlanta to New York will tell you. That New York airport was freaking insane compare to the Atlanta airport. Georgians were simply not disrupted by holiday travel the way a New Yorker was. Like I said before. Not betting L.A. was a mistake. What are you going to do. Seattle's push? Maybe I was pushing my luck, but damn tat city is so young. At least it's folks are.

My point?

The lines were not invented to place half the bettors on one side of the line and half on the other. There were invented knowing damn will whether the New Jersy line was +1, + 6, or +8 it just didn't matter. Nothing could swing the bettors over to New Jersy because they just had to much going on Friday.

Before I get emails asking me why Chicago doesn't lose against the spread on every single game, after all Chicago is Las Vegas biggest customer. All I have to say is when Chicago loses against the spread 3 times in a row. My home town is ready to turn on it's team in a heart beat. Bottom line is even if Chicago's pool of money is larger than it's oppotent - which it is every game. You can't have Chicago lose against the spread every day, or the bettors will turn. But why not let them win when most are not betting, so you can take them the next day?

Now I know Chicago didn't play Friday. But the Bears are playing Sunday. So now what? Up here in Chicago we are all settled in. Are we betting? What can be gain with us losing against the spread? What can be gain with us beating the spread?

If you were the Star Dust Hotel and Casino what would you do? If Chicago covers the spread tomorrow. This will be done in the presense of family members with the good ole gambling vice and the talk of what they should have done. Could it be an investment for the next time? Stir the juices?

But how does the Star Dust Hotel and Casino play into what goes on in Chicago? Ever been to the Star Dust? I'll admit it's been a few years for me. I remember the dozen old wise guys with their oxygen tanks and cigars waiting for the call from their bosses to let them know where they needed the money placed to balance their books. Times may have change, but I am betting on tradition here.

Time to make a complete @s out of myslef with my picks. What can I say - may have a gambling problem, betting on Christmas day

Chicago Bears -7 risk 110 to win 100
New York Jets +6 1/2 risk 110 to win 100

I placed my bets with nine only because it is the one I could remember my account and password off the top of my head. If you are in a position to shop the lines - do it, a 1/2 point can be life or death.

I just thought if your gonna take my advise. You should know where it comes from. Yes i am influence by a teams ability. What can I say it cost me on the L.A. game.

Merry Christmas everybody

That one push sure does make you think about the importance of shopping the lines.

I'm back where I grew up in Chicago. Will be watching the Bears tomorrow, but no gambling till I'm back in Baltimore.

Good-luck

Nine Sport book just offered me a 1/2 point special on the basketball spreads. I hope they do the same for you. Just add or subtract 1/2 a point in your favor from their posted line.

We got in with some great lines early today. In fact the only game I saw worth the extra half point was New Jersy. With all the others the spreads moved 1/2 point or more in the wrong direction.

I'm adding New Jersy to my picks at 7 1/2 risk 110 to win 100 - bet it with Nine

Now of course if you think ole dogcrap did a horrible job picking today. That means this 1/2 pick is great deal for you. Pick the opposite of my early morning picks and get every game for a whole point different in your favor. Hmm could I be moving the lines?

Orland Magic is given ½ a point more at Race Book - see side bar

Race book is discounting the juice by a nickle on al basketball bets

The Baltimore Ravins game is the way I like to see a win.

Here are some more games, may they turn out as well as our last.

NBA
Los Angeles Lakers -1.5 -115 Orlando Magic +1.5 -105
Utah Jazz +3.5 -110 New York Knicks -3.5 -110
Washington Wizards +9 -110 Phoenix Suns -9 -110
Dallas Mavericks -3 -110 Seattle SuperSonics +3 -110

Thanks to the shaved juice for the Orlando I'm going with Intersports today. Not all sport books always have the same juice and the same line. I't would be a shame if you lost by 1/2 point when there was another book that would have paid you. Check my side bar for your best choice.

Selection
Orlando Magic +1.5 risk 105 to win 100
New York Nick -3.5 risk 110 to win 100
Washington Wizards +9 risk 110 to win 100
Seattle Supersonics +3 risk 110 to win 100

Green Bay Packers +3.5 -120 Baltimore Ravens -3.5 +100

The above is Intertops line for tonight's game. It is an unusual line. You may be able to find a different one and bet both side of the line.

Over at Nine (my horse racing book the point spread is the same but the payoffs are off by 2 points.

Checkout your options.

If you can find a 3 point line a 10 point juice you can buy 1 point from intertops to make it a 2.5 spread. Then bet 1000 with intertops on Baltimore and 1000 on your the Packers at your other book.

If Baltimore wins by more 3 points you would win 1000 from Intertops and 1000 from your other book. If Baltimore wins by more than 3 points you would lose 100 between the two books. If Baltimore wins by less than 2 or loses you would lose 100 (the cost of a point) between the two books.

To me that just isn't worth it. But look around you might find a book that instead of toying with the juice as nine did, they toyed with the line. If there is a 3 point line out there, or a 2.5 point line out there. The game has change big time.

The fact that the juice is being toyed with means these people don't like the dollar amount being place on Green Bay. The bets are obviously swamping the the Green Bay side of the line. There iis bond to be someone out there fixing the problem by shifting the line to encourage betting on Baltimore vs shifting the juice.

If you find that book, I want to know.


My bet for the night is Baltimore -3.5 pints 100 to win 100

The odds have moved on this evening game. Taking advantage of the new line

Atlanta Falcons +3 +110 330 Chicago Bears -3 -130

Wager 100 on Atlanta with 3 points to win 110 - that's right we have a reverse juice.

Cincinnati Bengals To Win -500 Detroit Lions To Win +350

Going with Detroit to win risk $20 to win $70

Please note that Intertops is offering a money line on the Miami game, which I’m taking versus the traditional line.





New York Jets To Win +325 Miami Dolphins To Win -450 

Miami risk $112.50 to win $25.00


Arizona Cardinals -1½ -115 Houston Texans +1½ -105

Houston +1 ½ risk $105 to win $100


San Francisco 49ers +15½ Jacksonville Jaguars -15½ Over/under 37 ½

San Francisco/Jaguars Over 37 ½ risk 110 to win 100

Last night I lost. I had a 7 ½ under go into over time to lose against the spread by ½. A favor that was in control during the whole game lose by a ½.. Such is life. I like my methods of picking them though. And will be looking forward to seeing the odds catch up to me this time.

I know - I have to leanr how to post this in a table. But would you rather pay for a pretty site with losing results. Or get mine for free?

I've been up since 4:00 am going through my books. Had one mistake. I won the Detroit under pick I had, but counted it as a lost.

Here are my NFL picks to date:

A tough record to beat. I suggest you look at thye picks I have for today's games.

I'm going back though all my other numbers for the other sporting events and will post those soon. If you spot any errors, please let me know by Tuesday/(payday) with a quick note in the comment section.

I may see my first reductions to my winnings in a while. You may have noticed a trend in my picks lately. When the folks visiting in Las Vegas go home from the National Rodeo, this trend will end. With the beating they have taken so far Vegas may let up on the cowboys before they go home (not sure if they have any money left to take). I’m backing off the college sports and the NBA. I will be back on Tuesday.

If you have been following me from the begining, you must be wondering "How does Dogcrap Green do it?". you may think I either now everything about sports, or every freaking statistic. How else could I be picking games played between schools smaller than most community colleges one minute, and then sweep the NFL the next day.

The truth is I rarely watch any sports, never read the sports sections of a paper. Don't own a book on statistics.

So how do I do it?

I study the predetermine money flow.

when I was a student at Arizona State, because I had a bookie the other kids would place their bets with me. Living in a dorm I had friends from all over the country in every bookie's market. These bets these kids placed with me were typically $5.00. An embarrassing amount to pace along, so I never bothered. An interesting trend developed. 65% of the time 65% of the money was on the losing end and 35% would then be on the winning side of the bet. It got to the point to where if the pool of my bets were $35 on team "A" and $15 on team "B". I would then bet $200 on team "B" with my bookie. If the difference was $40 on team "B", I would bet $400 on team "A". That was one amazing winning streak I was on.

If the Star Dust Hotel and Casino has to print out dozen of lines. How can not only these people not be able to pick out of those dozens and dozens line 5 mistakes and exploit them? What is even more amazing is how day after day the losing money would study the stats and the players, and day after day find themselves on the losing end. And these losers were no more stupid than you, or me. In fact most were smarter than me.

Here is the best analogy I know of. Every construction company that builds multi-million dollar bridges has a small group of people that put the bids together with their detail opinion of the likely costs. On bid day fifty one uppers and fifty one downers circle this bid with their "expertise". Some disparately want the company to get the job. These experts will show why there is too much money in the bid. Others want to say "I told you so" a year into construction. These experts are the one downers. The truth is if they were looking at the same job with a 13 million price tag, or a 14 million price tag. They would utilize their expertise the same way. At the time of the bid I always knew who would be the one uppers and the one downers and how many of each there would be. In your business you may have something similar, we all know about the I TOLD YOU SO PERSON. A similar concept.

99.99% of all handicappers are one uppers and one downers.
The NEED the sports book to tell them the line so that they can say it should be trim two points. The positions these people will take on a game can be predicted. With every game playing today X% had the prejudice towards one side of the line and Y% had their on the other side. The question is whose money is the Star Dust Hotel and Casino going after? Because I have news for you. They know their customers would have bet the same way regardless of the line THEY INVENTED. A point to 4 points makes no difference to the better, but it of course makes a difference on your odds to win.
