<p>[QUOTE=&quot;talkcoin, post: 1569418, member: 38842&quot;]lol again... I was at a Super Bowl party in 2008 and there was a friend of mine there who was at the time a &quot;bookie.&quot; There was about 25 to 30 people there, mostly dudes. The &quot;bookie&quot; told everyone there that he would not take any action on the New England ML (ML = moneyline, where you bet a team straight up with no point spread). This &quot;bookie&quot; thought there was no way in time that the 18-0 Patriots could loose that game straight up to the wild-card NY Giants who had only won 9 regular season games... Well, I was a little disappointed because I wanted to bet the Patriots straight up. So in spite of this guys weird rule, I threw $200 on the Giants ML... And every single person there, including women, through something on the Giants ML. To make this story shorter than I want, that &quot;bookie&quot; friend ended up having to sell his boat to pay off all the bets he thought were a lock in his favor! The Giants were 5 to 1 that day.</p><p><br /></p><p>My point: there is no such thing as a lock in betting, and I single handedly witnessed this with my very own wallet and my eyes. </p><p><br /></p><p>P.S. good luck finding a book out there that will take any bet over $500 (total win) on the U.S. Presidential Election... You may as well be betting on American Idol.</p><p><br /></p><p>Erik[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
