    Here if I’m not mistaken is an example of VALUE betting.
    McNeil developed a theory, put into practice and swindled you. You dietze are a victim of cultural abuse. Your peers started betting on the ATS method so your could “ shorten the outlay” as per quote, gamble not fond of $900 outlay to receive $100 profit. The value bet is you are unable, unwilling to have an appropriate bankroll to cover the $900 outlay ( as per example) for the money line to win. The value bet is you get 9 x $100 bets to play from the $900 bankroll. You state ats is hard to achieve 68% of the time per season in college football. Your amateur betting county men are lured into the ATS , the professional handicappers tipping sites perpetuate the points spread myth. I understand the handicappers need to make a living, no problem, good for them, good for you. But cut the sanctimonious crap you come up with these posts by yourself.

    I have not challenged the fact that a professional HANDICAPPER goes through rigorous research ( I’m assuming) in being able to gather the appropriate information to TRY and develop a point spread for a specific game , with that information,THE PROFESSIONAL sports bettor ( something I HAVE NEVER claimed to be) will shop around in the USA for the correct odds. Refer to note 4 and note 5 prior post. That is the premises of your convoluted posts this forum.

    This is relevant to you the professional. The issue is and always has been the proficiency of the handicap site. Hence you’re hawking various forums ( I assume once again as per your posts , I don’t bother looking at your site as previously stated) for people to view your recommendations, record of tipping prowess. You are trying to promote your handicap rating to equate to being profitable because your final standing on various tipping competitions sites as a justification/ a lure to potential customers. No problem good for you.

    The average degenerate gambler the ones you and your ilk try and flog your handicap sites to DO NOT necessarily know nor understand the steps that are laid out in notes 4 and 5.

    Foreign nationals WHO don’t have access ( thankfully) to your archaic country bookmakers, casino bookmakers or online betting agencies don’t necessarily fully grasp the hurdles you people have to jump over to place a bet on sports.

    I actually do . I have taken the time over the years to learn and understand ( not fully ) the loops you the “professional sports bettor” have to jump through.

    We don’t have the same hurdles here in skipptophia , thankfully, we don’t pay taxes, we don’t pay vig although costs are already incorporated into the odds. Etc etc. all previous posts to you various threads.

    In this country ATS is not the main betting method. We have our degenerates here yes that make stupid decisions. Here if your selection is so short in the odds the majority will not bet on that selection per se. The degen will regardless, the degen will take outrageous odds also so it’s a moot point.

    As a reference to value betting I have asked friends and acquaintances over the years, those that do bet ATS occasionally or often, why are they betting against the spread.

    Usually the answer is along these lines.

    The favourite is too short a price skipptophia odds here of say $1:10 to $1:40 whereas the Ats is $1:80 and $1:86 . To get the extra:70 cents in value they will take the +4:5 spread example.

    For mine, I always research for the win, be it the dog or the favourite. Personally I see little value in betting to win at a particular sliding spread scale for it to be wrong by 1 or 2 points when my research says this team will win, I don’t care if it’s by a 1 point margin or 100 points

    Why lose a winning situation?

    For mine if I deem the odds are too short example $1:30 and the opponent is actually quite capable of winning, I don’t bet. I know I can come back another time when the odds are in my favour. Big difference.

    Note , as a sports bettor I’m not a professional , I have posted previously my take, approach and bankroll rules which suits my play across various sports leagues year in and year out.
    I don’t value bet on ATS.

    The change in odds over the past few years.

    Here in skipptophia, roughly up until approximately 15 years ago , it was rare to have on a weekly basis a rugby league team priced in below $1:80 to win money line. There of course were exceptions etc. It was rare that the EPL favourites ever priced below $2:05 week in week out on skipptophia betting agencies.
    With interverse betting sites now it’s common to have EPL teams at $1:20 to win , league teams at $1:04. Etc etc. The market has changed dramatically. I would not be surprised if ATS becomes the go to betting format in the future in this country. Here it will become the value bet as IT IS ALREADY actually being promoted as such online AND during televised matches these past few years.

    ATS, or Against to Score, works like this: one team tries to win the game outright, but the other team gets some extra points to start with (a "handicap"). If you pick the winning team, they have to win by more points than the handicap in order for you to win the bet.

    There are a few reasons why people might like ATS bets. They allow you to pick a favorite team to win while still giving the other team a chance to compete and maybe cover the spread. This can make the game more exciting and harder to predict. ATS bets also let you compare the relative strength of two teams more directly, since the handicap evens things out a bit. This can help you make smarter bets and potentially increase your chances of winning. This can make it easier to evaluate which team has a better chance of winning and make a smarter decision about which team to bet on. ATS bets can also help you find value in the odds by allowing you to pick a favorite team to win while still giving the other team a shot to compete and maybe cover the spread. If you can find situations where the odds are good and the handicap is reasonable, you might be able to increase your chances of winning by making ATS bets.

    Diet Coke no ice ………VALUE BET ………
    Lol rlmao haha
    This guy should use your HANDICAPPED site, load him up with your tales of success, direct him to your many many free sites that allow you change you SURE pick because your only 50/50 sure at game time. There I was thinking you researched your craft , should have stuck with my original opinion of you and that you’re full of crap.
    Well there is a chump that’s as degenerative as you are , sign him up. Promote the ats you cultural abortion .
    Value bet, lol. Makes it exciting lol. Gives the other team a chance, lol. Makes it HARDER to predict, rlmao .
    I really like his post , I’m going to repost it often , it is priceless on so many levels, he obviously has no idea like you . Is he a relative? Son perhaps, one of your wayward tissues caught up in the mix?

    Shame sheriff puppet, shame. You condemn the degenerate gamblers yet you promote your HANDICAPPED sites, you promote your crap to people with the Iq of the poster quoted then you ridicule them, I guess if their that stupid to subscribe then I guess YOU are entitled to take their money AND ridicule them on forums like this.

    Lol. Priceless

    Yo, just wanted to clear things up. I'm not some sports betting expert or anything like that. Just here to learn and share my experiences. Sorry if I gave off any other impressions. I was just trying to help out and answer the question. No beef with your sarcasm though, just keepin' it real.

    So was it McNeil who came up with such an advanced system? He probably made a lot of money on his betting system.
