Cardinals -1.5 tonight
Mizzou +3.5 for Thursday, probably going to bet some on straight up later, and more on spread if it changes more in Mizzou's favor. I'm actually pissed Mizzou is ranked 24 this week, if we weren't ranked the line would have been alot better. I'll update my overall soon, but I'm about back to even, still up some |
They day you bet against Mizzou (or even don't bet on them) will be the day I start thinking you are taking this whole sports betting thing seriously (says the guy who never bets against the Eagles/Phillies).
|
Agreed. I haven't bet the NFL in about 5 years, but when I did, I never bet on or against the Patriots (which saved me a lot of $$$ in the Super Bowl vs the Rams)
|
While I prob will never bet against them, I don't always bet them, when they are favored by like 24 points and stuff I just don't bet, but Mizzou has won me more $ betting than any team. And I'm mainly doing betting for fun with what is .166% of my poker $ lol, makes it seem pretty ridiculous how much I sweat the games I bet when you think about it like that, but it def makes watching more fun.
|
well drinking began as soon as I get back from my 9:300 class, my teachers canceled the rest of my classes, and I bet more $ on Miz to win straight up at +150. going to be an insanely drunk day - night and hopefully one with profit of the sports kind of wager drama:cheers::cheers:
|
Fuck I miss college.
|
How can anyone not be jumping on the Colts-Titans line???? There is just no way the Titans stay within 4 of the Colts. Unless there is a monsoon during the game, Manning will torch the Titans secondary (which is hammered with injuries and made Jacksonville's pass attack look like the 49ers Montana to Rice years). This game has the makings of a 34-10 win for the Colts.
|
just increase that .166% to 300% and you and me are the same.

Missouri sucks at life
I almost got arrested last night, I walked home 4 miles in pouring rain, and Cards lost, Blues lost, and Mizzou lost. Oh also the Rams are the worst football team ever this year. wtf, woke up at 1:30 for my test at 2:00 today I prob bombed. |
Nfl pick wk #5
No picks in day games . Ind -4 sun night if I hit NYJ -2 on mon |
I actually went 3-0 today. Go drunk me
|
Damn I'm good.
|
I had a great weekend, going 3-0 betting the NFL (Denver +3, Atlanta +2.5, Indy -3.5 (ty RD)), won all 3 Phillies related bets I placed (didn't bet the one game they lost), and won my NASCAR bet, picking Jimmie Johnson to win.
|
I really need to get some $ on a sportsbook.
|
Indeed. I know I'm in a minority here, and it's probably because I am just "used to it," but I still like . I've been betting with them, for 12+ years.
I actually logged into my Bodog account for the first time in a few years yesterday and saw I had $65ish sitting in there, so I put it all on he Phillies last night. Man, what a game that was! :) |
Florida -24 Arkansas
For a variety of reasons I just don't see Florida coving that spread: (1) they could have a letdown after all the hype of their big game last week at LSU, and many were saying that was the only hurdle for the Gators until the SEC Championship Game, (2) Arkansas can score, they've put up 41 or more in 4 of their 5 games this year, (3) Urban Meyer put in a very conservative game plan last week in response to Tebow coming back from a concussion and they have been much more of a run-first, control the clock offense than they were last year, I doubt that will change this week. Given all the above, this has the makings of a trap game and reminds me a lot of the situation coming into the Gators game against Mississippi last year (a game the Gators lost at home). I don't think the Gators lose this one, but I can see it being fairly close, something like 30-17. |
TO update: I'm -500 betting now, I'll start again soon tho
|
Shit, even closer than I thought. Hope some of you guys jumped on that... I, unfortunately, didn't. :mad:
|
I like the money line on the bears game tomorrow +165, but I don't have any money online.
|
I intended to and then forgot. Bah.
|
i want to punch gary pinkel in the head right now, his play calling in the red zone is so bad it's ridiculous. pretty sure he lost the game for us
|
nfl week#6
phil-15 yes - 15 on the road Nyj -10 parlay kc+6 cleve +14 car-3 SEA -2.5 $1 nets $11.33 |
My $0.02 (and that may be all it's worth), Eagles game is a trap. 2nd week in a row on the road with a division game next week is textbook for underperformance. Plus, all NFL coaches not named belichick tend to get conservative when up by 2+ touchdowns.
No way no how on the Jets. IMO, giving 10 points in any AFC East game regardless of team records is dangerous. Personally, I like NO -3 and CIN/HOU over 46. |
I bet a whole bunch of game earlier this week for today:
Lions + 13.5 PAnthers -3 Eagles -14 Cardinals +2.5 Falcons -3 Broncos +4 Panthers, Falcons and Broncos would be my favorite 3 of those. |
Kurn looks to be on the money thanks for the jinx:thumbsup:
|
Calm down. Jets are up 10 and the Bills are down to the backup QB.
Remember the great quote from the movie -The Gambler-: "They don't pay off on half-time scores." ;) |
Considering how poorly both of those teams have played...I wonder if it is possible to give both of them a loss instead of letting them tie.
Lord knows the Jets or Bills don't deserve to win. |
Great game Sanchez :mad:
|
I know that's your team, but giving double digits to a home dog is very -EV over the long term. At least the Phillies saved the weekend for you.
|
I actually forgot to bet on the Phillies (and on Jimmie Johnson) somehow. But I still enjoyed the game.
I went 4-2 for NFL bets yesterday (added in the Saints right before game time). |
OK, here's 2 for this week.
Jets -6.5 at Oakland Logic: Jets cannot lose another game before playing Miami next week, and despite what the Raiders did (or Philly didn't do) last week, Rex Ryan's defense should befuddle JaMarcus Russell. Bills +7 at Carolina Logic: OK, I admit it. I gravitate toward dogs in interconference games between mediocre teams. In addition, Thomas Davis, the Panthers best run stopper, will be way less than 100% IF he plays at all, and the Bills can run. The Bills can also rush the QB, and Jake Delhomme needs things to be perfect not to suck. :D |
I almost forgot to make some bets this week. Let's see, I'm gonna go with:
Chargers -5.5 vs. Chiefs Packers -9 vs. Browns Vikings +6 vs. Steelers Saints -6 vs. Dolphins Falcons +5 vs. Cowboys Eagles -7 vs. Redskins Also, Jimmie Johnson will win Martinsville today, but the odds are just terrible. Betting $10 to win $25 in a field of 43 drivers on a short track? I can't do it. Obv betting 6 NFL games after 2 minutes of looking at the lines, I'm more betting for fun that anything, but those are my picks for this week. |
The saints were my lock for the week.Man I suck the last 2 weeks.
|
I went 4-2 again this week AND won my 7 team (straight up, not ATS) parlay. Woot!
My rarely used (just for-fun) sports betting account now has a balance big enough that I think it's worth cashing out some for the first time in a long time. I'm petty sure I only ever deposited once, way back in 1997 and I've only made a few withdraws, but it's pretty cool to still be running on that same money. |
Nice on the parlay thats hard to do 7 teams:cheers:
|
This was my favorite way to bet when I got started in 1997. I'd basically pick the biggest favorites of the week (skipping any that I thought had good shots of being upsets, like this week when I skipped the Giants playing the Cardinals (I think the Giants were favored). It's amazing how much the odds add up when they multiply like that. This week's 7 teams were all more than 7 point favorites and I ended up getting better than 5:1 odds. Boom - easy money!
Of course, more often than not, 1 upset wrecks this little "system" of mine. I usually pick 4-6 teams, but honestly liked all 7 a lot this week. I was in a straight up pick'em league one year, back in like 1999 or 2000, and actually had a perfect week once (13 games, I think it was). That doesn't sound that impressive, but it really is. No parlay for me that week, but that would have been some sick odds, and I even had a couple of dogs in there. |
We had someone in my office pool go 18 for 20 this past week... and we do 10 college and 10 NFL games all against the spread. I think the best I've done in that format is 15... 18 is pretty nuts.
|
6 pt teaser, OK state +15 & Oregon +9
7 pt teaser, GT -6.5 & Mich St. +3.5 |
my god OK state stop dropping passes and missing fg's
|
2 for this week
I don't really love anything this week, but here the 2 I like best:
Giants -1 at Philly Logic: Against the Eagles off the short week. Plus the MNF game was more a win based on the Skins ineptitude than anything Philly really did that was impressive. Jags at Titans Under 44 1/2. Just feels like a slogging, low scoring game. |
I'm going with:
Broncos +4 vs. Ravens Texans -3.5 vs. Bills Eagles + 2 vs. Giants (this is me betting purely as a fan) Jaguars +3 Titans (I really like this game) I'll probably also take this tomorrow ( has a no juice line on this game): Falcons + 11.5 vs. Saints |
Another winning weekend for me. Funny that the game I loved the most wasn't even close though. Who knew there was a football team in Tennessee? And Carolina wrecked my parlay... jerks.
At least the Eagles made Kurn look dumb. :) |
I am now -1k in sports betting, so just do the opposite of whatever I pick and ur golden.
funny that I did much better when I didn't research the games at all and just went with whatever I felt like |
2 for today
SF -4 vs. Tenn
Logic: I've said I lean towards dogs in interconference games between mediocre teams. In this case, neither team is mediocre. The Titans are a bad team with a weak QB, and the 49'ers are becoming a good team. last week vs. Indy was not a fluke. Texans +8.5 at Indy Logic: No brainer. Best bet I've seen this year. Colts' secondary is decimated vs a passing attack that's right up there with the best in the NFL. Peyton will have to absolutely light it up to avoid their first loss here. In fact, taking flier on a parlay of Hou +8.5 and over 49.5 in this game would look tempting to me if I liked parlays. :cool: |
22-31 for 200 yards and 1 TD...5 minutes in to the second quarter.
I think his arm is going to fall off before the start of the fourth. |
I booked the following just before 1:00 kickoff:
Falcons -8.5 Saints -12 Chargers +5 Eagles -3 Broncos +3 And Jimmie Johnson to win the NASCAR race today. |
Done on lap 3
|
Damn... in my office pool where we pick 20 games (10 college, 10 NFL) against the spread, I'm 17-2 going into the Monday night game. Why oh why did I not get some serious $ placed on the games this week! Fuck.
|
I havent layed a wager in two weeks.
Anyone have thoughts for next week? |
that is insane, did you bet any of them?
