  • I know it's early but I'd like to put down on OU -6.5 over Texas and KSU -2.5 over KU. I don't know why these lines aren't higher.

    Hey,

    I'm gonna be in Las Vegas for the Monday night game on October 11th. Waddya think the bet should be?
    Wondo

  • I know it's too late and it shouldn't count because i didn't post it here but i threw down $ 15 on the Rams last night. I should've bet $100 lol . I believe i was 7 out of 9 this week. Thinking about quitting my job to go full time with the games lol
  • Wondo, that MNF game is funny. Two teams that just missed going to their division's 2003 championship game - that matchup looked like a possible superbowl preview. But now that game is between two 1-3 "bottom feeders" with the coveted #20 on the ESPN power ranking on the line! Seriously though, wait till you hear the QB report. If Farve is healthy and McNair isn't it'll be GB by a TD, but if both are healthy GB will be favored by 3.5 to 4.

    Nice going KOBEcollector! I figured the Rams would win, but I couldn't take them on the road. Did you catch that 4th quarter line? The 9ers were on the Rams 16 - yet the 4th q line was released 9ers 0 even! The books really screwed up on that line.

    Brian
  • cornholio, please explain that 4th qrt line comment. Im new to the whole betting thing so im not quite sure what you mean

    btw, Chiefs -6 tonight lol
  • kuhlmannkuhlmann Posts: 3,326 ✭✭
    chiefs getting 6 not -6.
  • thats correct. my mistake


  • << <i>cornholio, please explain that 4th qrt line comment. Im new to the whole betting thing so im not quite sure what you mean >>



    I'm pretty new to this as well. They have started a line for "in game quarters" so at the end of the 3rd quarter you can bet on the 4th quarter. Likewise between 1st and 2nd. You are just betting on that quarter. So field position is key. In the case of the 9ers Rams, the 9ers were about to score (on the Ram's 16 yd line) yet the books said they'd score as many as the Ram's in the 4th Q. The 9er's outscored the Rams 14-0 in the 4th. I like these lines because they are a good way to "double up" Like tonight I had the Chiefs S/U at +225. They were up by 3 going into the 4th Q about to score yet Ravens+4 was +125. I took this because I would have to win either this or the Chiefs, but there was a good chance I'd win both, which was what happened image

    Still looking for a line on the Monday night game
    Wondo

  • Wondo your UNLV is looking pretty damn good!

    I already posted OU -6.5 over Texas and KSU -2.5 over KU.

    I'm going nuts on college this weekend so I hope it goes well.

    Here's more - LaTech +27 over Auburn, ORE+3.5 over WashSt.

    I'll post some NFL later.

    WEEK 5

    Sea -6.5
    Oak +9
    Hou-Min Over 49.5
    Ari PICK
  • 2-2 in college today but it could have been worse - did anyone see the oregon wash st game? i watch gamecast and it looked crazy at the end.

    anyway here are my nfl picks - i'm with you on a few of these xbaggy!

    seattle -6.5
    houston +4.5
    arizona +1

    if the jags are down at halftime, i may take them 2nd half...

    Brian
  • True to my word, Jags are down so I'm taking Jags -3 2nd half.

    Brian
  • 0-4 in the NFL, arrg. Lost 3 in OT and lost the 4th on a 4-1 on the goal line to end the game. image

    My initial thought tonight was under 43.5 and Tenn +3 so I'm going with a parlay of over 43.5 and Green Bay -3 - if all my thoughts are wrong then the opposite must be right!

    I'm leaning towards Duke +21 over GaTech, Maryland -2.5 over NCST, Texas -14 over Missouri and Carolina +9 over Philly. Maybe I should pull a Costanza and do the exact opposite though image

    Brian
  • Sorry for the late updates, I'll have the totals in from last week later this weekend.

    My picks:

    Utah -20 over UNC
    Duke +21 over GaTech
    Texas -13 over Missouri
    FSU -3 over UVA
    Illinois +21 over Michigan - If I lose this it'll be($60) instead of ($55)

    Threw in a late one Miami ( Huricanes ) -7

    NWO -OAK OVER 45.5
    IND - JAC OVER 46.5
    Buf +6
    NYJ +6.5
    DEnver -6.5.
  • This is unbelievable. I need to get my but on espn or something lol

    5 out of 5 today

    hopefully tommorow is just as good for me
  • Great call KOBEcollector on the Minn/Tenn under.

    I put all my eggs in one basket and it worked! Miami +7 and they won 31-14! It was a trap game for St. Louis.

    The winners of MNF are 1-5 ATS in their next game - something to consider in the future as that trend looks like a winner.

    We killed the books this week!
  • cornholio, your not going to believe this and don't count it with our totals because i didn't post it soon enough but believe it or not these were my picks i put in on sportsbook.com

    minn / tenn under
    colts / jags over
    chiefs +4
    bucs giving points to bears ( can't remember exactly the spread at this time )

    I don't know if your familiar with those football betting tickets but a guy from work has them so i tried it for the first time. They have college and pro games and you have to bet at least 4 games but can bet as many as you want. You need to get all the games right however to win. Well my butt got lucky and won on the 4 games listed above. Put down $10 and won myself $ 100. I actually got very lucky because my first pick was going to be Texas Tech against Texas and i would've lost but the guy told me not to pick college games because it was Fri. night and he wasn't sure if he would see his " friend " in time for collecge games so i just picked pro games.
  • kuhlmannkuhlmann Posts: 3,326 ✭✭
    guys i put 10$ on lions dolphins and browns all to win outright pay out was 465$ NOW I HAVE EVEN MORE REASON TO HATE THE EAGLES!
  • KOBEcollector, 10-1 on a 4 team parlay - nice job! A lot of people liked TT over TX and I think the line moved from TT+3 to TT-3 so a ton of people lost $$ on that game.

    kuhlmann, tough break. This week has been "Who let the dogs out?". Cincy, Miami, Arizona and Cleveland were all roughly 7 pt underdogs and all covered and 3 won SU. Also the +425 Jags won SU in Indy and the +280 Lions SU in NY!

    Does anyone have a problem with doing baseball too? I like the Cards tonight and would like to lay $60 to win $50 on them tonight.

    I took pdroe -1.5 on strike outs over suppan. 50$ pays out 36$ right now supan 2-1 on k's image
  • Well kuhlmann, Suppan is out so Pedro can rack up a few more SO's.

    The Cards officially SUCK. If they lose this one, I'm hoping for a sweep.
