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

Talking Poker 10-07-09 08:47 PM

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).

Kurn 10-07-09 08:57 PM

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)

JDMcNugent7 10-07-09 08:57 PM

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.

JDMcNugent7 10-08-09 02:08 PM

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.

Wes 10-09-09 01:49 PM

just increase that .166% to 300% and you and me are the same.

JDMcNugent7 10-09-09 05:10 PM

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.

I actually went 3-0 today. Go drunk me

Reel Deal 10-12-09 02:29 PM

Damn I'm good.

Talking Poker 10-12-09 02:38 PM

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.

Reel Deal 10-12-09 03:30 PM

I really need to get some $ on a sportsbook.

Talking Poker 10-13-09 10:28 AM

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! :)

Reel Deal 10-15-09 01:47 PM

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.

JDMcNugent7 10-15-09 04:09 PM

TO update: I'm -500 betting now, I'll start again soon tho

Reel Deal 10-17-09 10:39 PM

Shit, even closer than I thought. Hope some of you guys jumped on that... I, unfortunately, didn't. :mad:

Akverno 10-17-09 10:53 PM

I like the money line on the bears game tomorrow +165, but I don't have any money online.

Talking Poker 10-18-09 12:36 AM

I intended to and then forgot. Bah.

JDMcNugent7 10-18-09 12:51 AM

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

Kurn 10-18-09 11:20 AM

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.

Talking Poker 10-18-09 11:52 AM

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.

thrash1294 10-18-09 04:59 PM

Kurn looks to be on the money thanks for the jinx:thumbsup:
