I agree with you here. If he's up $100 on the week, so what? It's been evident from the start he's a losing player, far worse than most that bet regularly, so keeping him on the hook with a slow drain is better than getting pounded because that leads to desperation and vicious swings.

He made 1000 last night... He went 6-6... He was down 726 so he ends up 274.

A team like west va can overcome this , but, i wouldn't feel safe with them until that final sounds

good luck
Agree with this too gales. I didn't bet the side because of it. My computer makes Duke a 6.5 point favorite- however I picked WV to win the NC in all of my brackets, might be worth something.

That's not bad. Obviously you can cover that amount and it keeps him around for a while longer.

My guy wants an INSANE amount on Butler tonight... I told him he has to bring me 1/3 of it, I cant take that much on credit... He has till tip off, last we spoke he's on his way. I really dont even want to say the amount and Im not even totally sure yet I want to take it, even though I think Duke is easy tonight.
