Default Re: Going against the public

Blindly going against the public 3 years ago was a huge losing trend as the favs won many many times. The public was outstanding.

Three yrs ago is when Roxy Roxboruogh (sp?) retired. For those who dont know who he is, he is the owner of Americas Line out of Vegas, he has been setting betting lines for the casinos for 30-40 years. Once he retired the offshores, Criss in particular started setting the lines and it was a major clusterfck for a while. Guys like me who bet dogs, and will always be against the public had a rough ride for awhile. There were even articles coming out of vegas at the time talking how the casino/sportsbook were getting drilled by the general public. I had heard they were taking a beating on those parlay cards that they put in the rooms at the time, you know when the parlay cards are beating you there is a problem with the lines.

They have since adjusted and i expect the gen public will continue losing as usual in the long haul.
