I got a question

Do most of you feel like there isn't a need to talk about games or post your plays or in the POD thread? I think it would be substanctially better for everyone if we had some good discussions on games or sports betting in general, and why we like the play or dislike a play. Also to get a good consensus on plays. Just looking for feedback why most of you don't post or reply to others or even feel the need.

Thanks

yes thats a good idea!!

sometimes you dotn have time!!

and you cant post ur ideas!!

somtimes you have time and u can post ur ideas!!!

i think also that people just look for information themselves! you know sites!

thats why we dont post its just that we look at other sites and there is no

need to post information because everyone probably has the same idea

but its cool if u just post ats games and so on!

i know for me its just im superstitious...most of the time i do a writeup i end up losing so i dont end up writing why i like the plays i play...also im not sure ppl even pay attention to what im posting anyways so do i really want to write out why im playing something when i already know why? also like moldo said, the time factor is a big part of it too, lots of times im jammed for time and just am lucky enough to be posting a game on here before it goes off

I agree with the guys above, a lot of the time I don't feel well (too much typing gives me a headache I have 4 messed up disc in my neck) and thats the last thing on my mind is posting why I like a play. Not to mention, I don't type worth a shit and it takes entirely too much time for me. I probably type 5 to 7 words per minute. I have to look at the board to type and I have hugh fingers and make a lot of errors while typing. It probably took me better than 5 minutes to reply to this.

I can make it easy, from now on all of my plays will be what I call the SHARP plays. For instance tonight My late play was New Mexico +10, the line opened up San Diego State -11 and SD ST had 58% of the wagers on them compared to 42% on New Mexico and the line Dropped to -10, that tells me the Sharps be larger amounts of money on New Mexico.

The same thing happened in the Ill-Chi/Wright St game. The line opened up Wright St -7 and dropped to -5, while Wright St had 66% of the wagers on them.

I did make a mistake betting DePaul, only 53% of the wagers were on 1 side of the game and I should not have played Depaul. I am still trying to learn this system. It is the one that Charles wrote about in the forum.

I am thinking that 66% of the wager must be on one side to make this system a play, while 53%/47% was just not enough to justify a play on DePaul.

I hope this answers your question as far as I am concerned.

The 5 minutes I said earlier that it took me to type this responce just went up to 25 minutes and a hurting neck!!!!

Ok Guys, I didn't think it was that bad for most of you

BOL with your system Nick. I used to have some sort of system, but now I just cap the game and go with it. I haven't been betting much as of late, been very selective. Once this site gets to an active community, I will be much more involved. I have to do some work on getting more sports bettors around here before I start just spending all my time capping.
