long after the karma system was adjusted to "tighten up the pool"
so the forum remains healthy 18 months after the big change
that's good
myself I'm having a difficult time remaining solvent with 2-3 pile-ons every weekend
so I've "hired" surrogate bookies to handle the likely pile-ons
made a major error this past week thinging green bay in detroit turkey day would be a relatively even betting game
I was so wrong and lost about 6.5 million in that game alone
until philly and miami came through on the last 2 NFL games of the betting week
I was getting hammered in addition to the green bay hemorrhage
the other 2 NFL games on thanksgiving were losses to the "house"
and USC covered over arizona st for a negative 400,000
saturday's NCAA action was mostly a split with the public and the house having about equal victories
sunday the house went 2-4 before the philly "miracle" and monday
miami got shut-out yet covered,so the house was able to recoup some of the week's earlier losses
that's unusual and it happened about a week ago too when some team I can't recall (NCAA) was +8.5
and the final was 7-0 so they covered as well while being shut-out
