But listen to this, OK, back then I had no idea that these sites and forums were even around and the book I was playing at was sportsbooks.com. At the time, I had no idea they were like a D or something at SBR and I didn't know there was a statfox.com or any capping sites like that. So I am just looking at these games doing dumbass 11 team and 8 team parlays and all of that shit just briefly thinking about the game in my mind and asking myself "Can XX team beat ZZ team by 12 points. Haha, what a dumbass way to cap games but I learned and got over that shit very fast. I kinda wonder that if I did get lucky then, how crazy would I go if I won some absurd about of money and then got stiffed. My God, I'd seriously fly down there and go nuts which would probably lead to my arrest and eventual assasination.
Because of my experience and I know I'm not alone, any newbie that comes along I always try to let them know this story because on the surface, it looks pretty easy to just pick 7 or 8 ganmes out of the 300 that are lined on a saturday. Funny looking back at it, but that was definately learning from my mistakes. I bet that book loved me.

Yes. That is a million dollar post. I think every newbie is the same way. I was the same way, but I was betting through a local. I would do the same as you when it came to capping. I was so dumb that I would go on the stupidest usatoday stats on games. I'd be like "Oh shit, the bears are 5-0 on Sundays when the other team has blue jerseys! They will forsure cover 7.5!"
LOL....God I had no clue..
