Clever.

I guess the key is finding even money...

sounds like you do very well with sports betting. good to hear hat you have a system and the discipline to stick with it whatever the situation.

the only sports betting that i have done was on a very small basis. i had a friend living in vegas during the football season last year, and just for kicks i would play a parlay or two every sunday. this was really just for fun, with the max i bet in a weekend around $15. i never won any of the parlays, but i didnt really expect to either. it just added a bit of excitement to the weekend.

unfortunately i think my sports betting days are over. i work for a pro sports franchise, and i really have no interest in risking anyting that i have gained by putting a couple of bucks down on a game here and there.

currently i work for the cincinnati reds in baseball operations. there might be a change of positions/organizations in the near future, but for the time being i am in cincinnati.

i know that the risk of any type of sports betting coming back to bite me is small, but i dont really see the need to take any risks. especially seeing that my position puts me in direct daily contact with the manager and field staff, any sort of bets could put me in a very precarious position.

Just make a friendly wager weather Pete Rose makes the hall of fame. That has nothing to do with sports

interesting stuff indeed.

Peng is right... I was 'freerolling' coming into the MNF game since NYR had already cashed for me. The only problem was that I was cashing in on the rams after leading 17-0... I was counting the money and everything

I love to bet sports personally but I wont lie, I usually lose whatever I deposit.

I wish I could handicap a game... I do actually try to look at stats, trends, etc before placing a bet but Im sure there is more to it.

You can say what you want about Pete Rose but the way he played the game was amazing, no one played harder than him.

Everytime you see him, hes sliding head first into 3rd or plowing over a catcher at home.

No one in todays game can come even close to playing the game as hard as he did.

I wish he would of admitted his problems along time ago and fixed his problems. If he would of did this he would easily be in the hall as of today because he was (still is) one of the most popular players because of the fact he was just a average joe who put himself on the line every single play of every single game.

Eddo, unless you are player personnel or in charge of it, I don't think any legal ramifications would follow if you placed bets.
