Very few Sharps enjoy long term, consistent success either. contrary to public perception. If they did, Itvwould be become my vocation instead of my advocation LOL

last week i should have been retired on college ball! I am an FCS fan..can usually spot wrong lines pretty quick that first week of the year...but the books got smart and dont offer moneylines anymore on FCS-FBS matchups. Here is my post from last Saturday morning...everyone an easy winner. My "play o the day" Nova was a 15 point dog, won easy..money line would have been close to 400...oh well

The money line is strictly a bet on who will win the game, no points involved In the Bills game, the Bills are getting 8 points. So if you bet $100, and the Bills win the game or lose by 7 points or less, you win 100. So if the Bills lose by 4, you still win the bet. If they win the game outright, you still win just the amount the bet..or $100. Now lets say you the Bills win the game, and you bet the money line..you win $270 But if the Bills lose by that same 4 as above..you lose the $100.The Bills have to win the game. Also, if you wanted to bet the Ravens to win as the favorite and not lay the points you would have to wager$340 to win $100. Hope that helps when you think this way..especially at +270..you have to get something down on the money line

I agree , all the money on the Ravens, that’s why I like the Bills, and the Bengals scare the poop out of me. All the money on the Bengals.. a dog. And that very rarely happens. Again, nothing is ever for sure.if it was, I would own the freakin Bills! I like a small moneyline bet in the Bills. What I mean is if my average bet was 1 unit , I would bet .35 on the Bills money line ..

Might not..but I rarely, like never, vary from my tried and true method of only betting dogs on the money line. 20 % of the times it burns as the dog covers..the other 80% if games whoever wins the game wins the bet...points just don't come into play. Just like any "system, it is not a sure thing...got murdered last year and went broke playing moneylines instead of taking the points... taking the points would have been a profitable year...but ya pays ya money, ya take ya chances! I am going to track some other variables on that this year..incorporating public money flows and some other metrics

At 9 am this morning, 75% of money on Ravens..as of 6:30..74%. Hmm I actually like a small play on the BIlls moneyline here at +270. PLay I really thought I would like is Cinci +2.5..but that is also 75% of the money on Cinci...that much on the side I like scares the hell out of me..especially on the dog. Sumtin very very fishy there..play at your own risk.

Is that what should be all our emotions cause you are coming again?

The ONLY place in the IH worth going too IMHO. !! Love that place. And the kids would love a quality $18 crab cake and a Natty! I envy y’all, can’t make it to game this time!

Get yourself to Faidley’s at the Lexington Market for lunch and have the best freaking crab cake of your life. Now, I advise against using any of the used needles in the street outside though’ I kid. I kid. I have sent some folks there however who come from Lilly white burbs and get worried about the local ambiance. Don’t fret, all is good. If not Lexington market for crab cakes, find your way to Cross Steetr Market in Fed Hill. Go to the back, park your ass at one of the bat seats, swill a large bat of Natty Bo have yourself some happy hour seafood! Now that place is BMore! I am serious, not a visit to Baltimore unless you drink a Natty at the Cross st Market! just get the hell out of the inner Harbour. It’s the Times Square of Baltimore.

I am guessing there are way more things you don't know ...than you do know..even at your advanced age! So this does not surprise me

Jeez,,,are you an idiot? That has NEVER happened to me! ? I have been a little preoccupied this week and not looked at anything college..y'all like any big dogs winning a game outright today? I won't be betting anything big, just a little sumpin sumpin to keep me interested with a small moneyline bet.

thats a tough choice, but either option is a winning option! I am assuming lunch at Hammers on 10/29...I like to eat lunch at about 12.30....so I am guessing 11 am start?

Man , I love me some Kenji but that boy needs to learn to brevity is great writing trait! i always think as confit more like duck confit.. preserved in fat, then cooking.. but see this makes sense. This is sounds awesome for wings

We moved to Long Road from the Love Canal my Senior year in. high school. Almost 100% of the Falls stuff on the food part is my persomal opinion... authors prerogative !?

yes, double fry is different. The first fry takes moisture out of outer surface food...2nd fry then gets crisper outside and moister inside. Technique is especailly effective with french fries and onion rings

Thats a double fried wing..not a confit wing ...at least that is what I am thinking. Not sure I have ever heard of a confit wing. In terms of the Darby trade, Sammy trade does not happen without this trade..and vice versa..which led to Allen..so you want Darby or Allen?

depends how you look at it. I believe in smaller government, and believe people should keep more of what they make..even corporations. The question I have ... is the entire spectrum of taxpayers paying less at same rate.....and are expenditures growing at a smaller rate than revenues...if so i don't even care if revenues go down in an economy that is growing at 4%..as long as expenditures are going down by equal or greater amounts. Any delta there and we can start to attack this deficit, which is my number one fear when it comes to the economy.

Thank you..great example and exactly what I was looking for. In terms of the italicized last paragraph, that's great to see...did expenditures rise at a higher level than revenue rose?

I thought the AMT went away? I am hoping so, cause we crushed by that sucker!!! I truly don't know the answers to these.

The economy is doing great, fueled in large part by deficit creating tax cuts. Problem is that fuel runs out at some point , and then we will be left with just a big giant deficit and a whole lot of richer rich people. I do have a question, not sure if this is the right place for it not. Trump created this tax plan to obviously kill middle to upper middle class folks who live in states that do not vote for him, and never will. Has there been been any analysis done that shows what a person in Jersey , like @joesixpackwill be paying in taxes come April 2019 vs what they paid in April 2018 say at $100k income? How bout at @ $150K. Am I kinda stuck today and only on phone, but will try to see if I can find that out as well.

Okay, o have found the perfect place for all you Trump folks to stay whence you visit the greatest City in the world. https://www.washingtonian.com/2018/08/30/is-corey-lewandowski-welcome-at-dc-new-resistance-hotel/?utm_source=Washingtonian+Newsletters&utm_campaign=3abb6b25f0-RealEstateNewsletter_2018_09_07&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_84979a60af-3abb6b25f0-129762681&goal=0_84979a60af-3abb6b25f0-129762681&mc_cid=3abb6b25f0&mc_eid=2b3f7790da

Now this is in my wheelhouse ! Love the parlay idea... have no idea who would book it though. ( just as an aside I don’t like anything this weekend)I agree Pense makes no sense at those odds. Saw trump raise this question as well. They have to no?

O did not read the whole article, but I assume they are postulating Mack’s is double troubling due The the draft assets they expended and missing out on 5 years of a rookie contract if you want to count Mack as one of the 1sts. I may may be wrong , but I am pretty sure Beane subscribes to this theory. I think both lines will get paid close to market if they are not in the top 10 of salaries., and we will see guys get second deals. But I think “skill” position guys, like WR, RB, CB... we ain’t seeing big time 2nd contracts for those guys. I am already calling Tre Whilte will not be singed last year 5, as those positions are where the greatest’ value “ comes in the draft. And by value I mean rookie contract vs veterans and the relative production
