Why I No Longer Use Big Guy
Sports Network?
This Is What BigGuy Sports Has To Say About Lines.......read slow, it's hard to follow the bullshit:
Our primary source for lines is: Olympic Sports book........Who The Hell Are They????
They go on to say:
The lines posted at BigGuy are updated as lines move,
and are intended to represent the line at the majority of sports books at any
given time. The posted line should be an excellent indication of what the
grading line would be at any given point in time.
Each game's line history from Olympic is the main factor when determining
grading lines. The grading of games is entirely supported by historical evidence
and under no circumstances are lines determined in an arbitrary or haphazard
manner, or influenced by the position of any service or handicapper.
Grading lines for football are determined on game day.
Handicappers should not expect any lines available during the week to be the
grading line, unless of course that number ends up being the prevailing number
on game day.
They have a whole fucken page dedicated to trying to explain there bullshit, it's unbelievable. They have "source of line" "closing lines" "day before lines" "multiple lines" "games falling close" and "option of submitting parameters"....holy shit BATMAN!!!!
A bet line is just not that complicated. Truly a bunch of assholes. It was fun for a while but they cost me too many games.
At ALL PRO SPORTS I often use the line as posted on Thursday, Friday or Saturday from the Vegas Insider Web Site. As you know I use the line as determined by the average line of all the major Las Vegas Hotels. MY LINE DOES NOT MOVE ONCE POSTED. MY SITE REPRESENTS THE TRUE BETTOR, BigGuy does not. In the real world, when you place a bet, weather you simply play a football card, use an online casino or place a bet in Vegas, you bet the line as it is at the time of the bet. When I submit my picks at BigGuy, the line I get is not the same line that is used on game day, even though I placed my picks with a GIVEN LINE.
I cannot explain why BigGuy uses Olympic SportsBook for their lines. They do no advertising for Olympic, they in fact advertise for BetUS.com. They also advertise for 5 other SportsBooks but none are for Olympic SportsBook. I know of no other sports service that uses Olympic Sports book for the NFL lines.
The bottom line is, I suppose it doesn't really matter where they get their line, as they MOVE their line at any given time. But when I update my site I also place my picks with BigGuy and the lines usually match. Not only is it not fair to adjust my "pick line" AFTER my picks are placed, but it is the reason why my overall win / lose record may not match with BigGuy and also the reason I will no longer use them to monitor my picks.
Apparently BigGuy didn't like me posting this information and refuses to document my picks, and canceled my account!!!. BigGuy can kiss my ass!!!
From now on I will use WagerTracker.com to monitor my picks. Here's what they say about the lines
used for the games:
* - You must be a WagerTracker.com member to compete. If you are not a member,
register for FREE here. You must enter a valid email address when signing up.
* - To be eligible for prizes, you must choose a minimum of 50 games to wager on
during the season.
* - All spreads, under/overs and moneylines are current lines. They will
fluctuate throughout the week and even minute to minute.
* - The line that you received when you picked
your team will not fluctuate. If you pick the game at -3 and it moves later to
-3.5, your line remains -3.
* - Prizes will be sent out no later than four weeks after
the contest is completed and in most circumstances within two weeks.
