    What's "interesting" about these gambling websites. I've never seen pre-game Cash Out where they offer ya more money because the odds changed in the bettor's favor. However they gladly offer ya less money when the odds change against the bettor.

    Sometimes if not often they offer ya less money for pre-game Cash Out, even when the odds didn't change at all. 😒

    It's a classic "If you get cold feet there is an option to get out"

    Yes, and you're gonna pay for that cold feet.

    Notre Dame ML

    ML parlay - Notre Dame, Indiana, Texas A&M

    Passing, rushing, and receiving props, too numerous to mention. Been hitting these player props like wild fire the past week. Probably means the rain storm is coming. LOL

    Be thankful I didn't touch ND today lol

    My college betting has been horrible this season

    Nah, you're a dam good handicapper. I'd trust your analysis any time. Running hot or cold is all part of the game, as we know.

    I've been hot as yell lately with the props. I fully don't expect that to continue. LOL

    Well basically already caught the ND and Indiana games. Some of the props have already hit, and all of them look like they're gonna hit with no problem. including the Aggies props.

    But the Aggies are systematically destroying my parlay. And my ML bet on them. I bring it up because I've got a big executive decision to make at halftime regarding the Aggies. Do I cut my losses, or bet more on them, and try to recoup those losses? Hard to believe that SC is going to beat them by 27 points.

    The tough call is the Aggies QB has two stinking picks, and he's gonna be pressing after halftime. Meaning more picks? But if he can get in any sort of rhythm, that halftime margin should be reduced meaning an easy win on the current live spread. But sure would hate to hemorrhage more money on a QB that may have been out last night partying too hard.

    I just looked at the live spread. It's SC -14.5. Dam those bookie computers just rarely seem to miss anything. They know the Aggies will close that gap, but I'd have to give-up 12.5 points. That's not very palatable with a cold QB, however his passing yardage for the day isn't bad. So I'll have to think about it. 🤔

    Well I couldn't resist - I popped the Aggies again - the spread.

    I'm a huge SC fan right now, melt that clock and score some more points

    Considering how well SC was doing, along with those fat odds, it wasn't a bad play at all.

    When I just posted I hadn't seen Galaxy's big wager on SC.

    I wouldn't mind at all losing my meager bet to see him win it. I'm still in the plus column even losing my Aggies play.

    SC needs to grind the clock down on their next possession and get some points

    Seriously

  • perkdogperkdog Posts: 32,517 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Ok let's all pull together and hope SC can get in range for a game winning FG while the clock gets to zero

    Thankfully we got a chance since A&M apparently took a hit off the crack pipe on that goaline play

    LETS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    it has been a stupendous day. June-like weather in November here in Texas -- we touched 90 today. that means rays & vitamin d. the only thing i can think of that could have possibly altered it is if i had done something like bet $900 on a team that was up 27 points at half, then they got outscored by 28 in the 2nd. i can sorta see how that might have adversely affected an otherwise glorious day just a smidgen. glad that didn't happen.

    in all seriousness, i've had 25$ bets that upset me more than that one. i was on the golf course about to launch one off of #1 tee when i saw the halftime score. i stuck in my bet and kept the game up as i played. i basically told myself that all South Carolina had to do is avoid what A&M did in the first half -- and that's absolutely nothing right. just something positive. a stop. force a turnover. score a damn point. anything. the Aggies blew down the field and housed one to start the 2nd, which is kinda what i expected. then the Gamecocksuckers mounted a drive and got into field goal range. on third and short they got stuffed. a part of me was hoping they'd go for the points. a FG there and they're up 23, which probably means 4 scores unless the Aggies connect on 2-pt conversions. nah, let's go for it. nah, let's get stuffed on 4th down and give A&M the ball.

    it was at that point i knew i had lost that bet, and i turned off my phone. just imagine -- you drop a bomb on a team up 27 at half and only need them to win, and with 7 & change left in the 3rd you knew you had just vaporized 9 benjamins. that's the feeling that overwhelmed me. kinda funny, actually. and that's why it was so easy for me to stomach the loss. i was able to wash my hands of it and go about my round. if i had watched that game to the end, i might have shaved a few years off my life.

    if it makes you feel any better you're my hero for the week. I respect the move.

    @galaxy27

    Not that this will make you feel. better but speaking from experience I cost myself an absurd amount of money last December

    Sunday night football Pittsburgh vs Baltimore, I'm shattered and have $2100 in my draft kings account that my buddy won earlier in the day so it's not MY money

    I'm at the casino, and never do I get cell reception to log in my DK account, like never and I'm. watching the game and Russell Wilson has like 245 yards passing and it's the end of the 4th quarter, miraculously I was able to log into my DK account just to take a peek, I see some stupid odds for Wilson to get 275 yards passing, Pittsburgh was down 10 points or something so I'm thinking that Wilson will be throwing and should easily get the 275 yards since it was a comercial break and the 4th quarter was about to begin and Pittsburgh was getting the ball

    Well I put my buddy's $2100 on that prop. bet, to win $200

    I'm thinking free money I'll rip. it

    A quick interception by Wilson and a 9.minute Baltimore drive, Wilson gets the ball. back with like 2:40 left to go

    Hand Off
    Hand Off
    Some ridiculous pass that missed by a mile
    Punt

    I lose $2100 just like that

    You'll rebound brother, hang tough
