Super Bowl Betting - Colts vs. Bears...
So, where' the action? Right now, I'm liking the Bears +7. Go Hester, go!!!
Every year, I made probably 30-50 additional small crazy bets on the Super Bowl too... I'll update you guys on what I went with come game day. Actually. I just took a peek at what is offering and check this out - They have a "You Can't Lose" Coin Toss bet available for the first 1000 customers only. It pays BETTER than Even money! Max stake is $55 (total), so if you bet $27.50 on Heads and $27.50 on Tails (for example), you are guaranteed to win a cool $2.75. Cha-ching! Of course, if you've got a little gamble in you, you could just put the whole $55 on side or the other. It's certainly no , but hey, free money is free money. I'll take it! They don't have tons of crazy bets available just yet, but I'm sure they will by this weekend. |
The most interesting bet that I've seen is (if you want to gamble)
Bears +21.5 (Alt Spread) -750 There's no max bet on this either :eek: and although you're risking 7.5:1, this is almost a guarentee The complete list of alternate spreads is below Colts +10.5 (Alt Spread) -900 Bears -10.5 (Alt Spread) +600 Colts +7.5 (Alt Spread) -750 Bears -7.5 (Alt Spread) +500 Colts +3.5 (Alt Spread) -450 Bears -3.5 (Alt Spread) +325 Colts -3.5 (Alt Spread) -170 Bears +3.5 (Alt Spread) +140 Colts -10.5 (Alt Spread) +160 Bears +10.5 (Alt Spread) -200 Colts -14.5 (Alt Spread) +240 Bears +14.5 (Alt Spread) -320 Colts -17.5 (Alt Spread) +300 Bears +17.5 (Alt Spread) -400 Colts -21.5 (Alt Spread) +500 Bears +21.5 (Alt Spread) -750 |
Do you guys mean to tell me no one has any thoughts on this game? Come on now...

before the lines came out i made a straight up bet with a friend, no line, taking the bears to his colts, we couldnt figure a line till vegas did one so we each took a team. Think of my happiness when i saw normally id have got 6.5 for my bears:mad: :( :mad: :( :mad: :(
I think the colts will win, i wont be making any more bets on the SB, except of course a few crazy dollar bets on some weird shit happening. |
Bottom line is Peyton Manning vs Rex Grossman. Sure, teams have won the Super Bowl with mediocre QB's, but I can't off the top of my head think of a Team with a below average QB beating a team with an elite QB in the big game.
This will be a more typical Super Bowl. The game will be over before the 4th quarter. Colts 34 - 13 Kickers will be a non-factor, which is good because I'm still steamed at Vinitieri for losing me a lunch bet with his 1st quarter chip-shot miss in XXXVIII :mad: |
I have $100 riding on the Colts straight up, finals of a pool I'm in. Other woman has the Bears.
Bowmans gave me a free $25 bet so naturally I took the Bears ML. Either way I'm walking out with $50. I also bought 7 squares: Chi/Indy 6/1 7/9 3/0 4/1 4/0 6/0 8/7 4 of these are awesome IMO, and a fifth one if Vinitieri kicks 3 FGs by halftime. As for props, not sure yet. I might pick 5 props and fire $2 per, but haven't looked and thought about them long and hard yet. |
Continuing with the crazy prop bets:

I'm in the best "Squares" Pool ever. It's $210 per square, and they actually have enough demand to run TWO of these every year. I've got 60% of Bears 3-2 and 40% of Bears 6-5.
Here are the rules and ridiculous payouts: Keep in mind, EVERY scoring change counts. So if a team scorews a TD and then kicks an extra point, 6-0 wins AND 7-0 wins. It's a crazy pool, with lots of payouts. The Q1+-1 through Q4+-4 part is new this year, and I'm not really a big fan of that. But it's still a fun pool. |
I as you can imagine like the Bears +7. I am 5-1 in the playoffs don't plan to lose a second game. I haven't really looked at any prop bets except for the ones I have heard on TV as I usually don't mess with them. But this year since I will actually watch the whole game (hopefully) I will throw a few bucks on some props to make it interesting. I will probably go with coin flip and length of time for the national anthem since I should be good and drunk by then. Those both seem like pretty good ways to give away some money.
|
A really think the colts -7 is a lock. I dont think the bears def. can stop The colts high powered O and I think the Colt D will take care of grossman and as long as they contain the running game show blow them out.Well see
|
The national anthem will definitely be less than 1:44
|
So I just made the no risk $25 at bowmans, any other free bets out there? $1100 no risk anyone? oh man that was the shit.
|
Bears, and you can keep your points
A friend of mine is going to Vegas, and I've given him a $100 to bet on the Bears winning straight-up. We don't know for sure, it should pay me 3-1 if I'm right.
|
Give the Bears 10, it's not going to matter.
:) Go Colts. |
Bodog has it at 1:42 at the moment. What is your prediction of the time it will be?
|
Took the colts-7
If manning gets time to throw its a blow out:thumbsup: |
I dunno, i really am now feeling this will be closer than you guys think. Ill be glued to it as usual, as we get the SB on terestrial TV over here so everyone (if they choose) can watch it.
I am gonna bet $1 that elvis appears to sign the national anthem though |
I bet it lasts aleast 2 minutes if not longer. |
Hester Just made some select people happy by returning the opening kickoff....idk how u kick to him, i would rather kick it OOB and let grossman suck
|
Not quite. Billy was pretty quick. I think he was on the take.
|
Prince from hendrix to the foo fighters was sweet.
|
last years game was 10x better
|
OMG, WHAT ARE THEY GONNA DO, THERE WERE TWO COLORS, VEGAS IS GONNA GO NUTS!
|
You are a musical moron. I almost puked.
|
no way I am not a prince fan but cmon admit it that was good:cool:
dont be a hater:( |
See, I am a Prince fan. That was the saddest live performance I have ever seen. It was like he was wrestling his guitar, and both were losing.
|
:thumbsup: Do do dot!!!!!!!!!!!!!:thumbsup:
|
I really wonder what happens -- do both colors win?
|
Did you notice his ridiculous phallic silhouette when that giant curtain was up? We all thought that as pretty funny here. Take that, FCC!!!
|
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D
:cheers: :D :D :D :D :D :D :D |
That is standard Prince.
|
And the game was nowhere near as close as the score. That was 44-7 masquerading as a competitive game. |
1:39
Beeeeeeeeitches Game. Blouses. |
They should go with the clear since it hit him first.
|
I'm glad Peyton has his ring. He's too good of a player to NOT have a ring. Now he can focus on breaking his own records. :)
|
Fuck Peyton Manning.
|
I don't hate Manning, but Tom Brady still has more rings *and* hotter girlfriends. :cool:
|
And much, much more humilty.
|
and is the better quarterback.
|
Lets look beyond at the Stats for their careers:
#(all time rank) Player Manning Brady Years 9 7 Passing Yardage 37,586(13th) 21,564(not in top 20) Pass Completions 3,131(10th) 1,896(not in top 20) Touchdown Passes 275(7th) 147(not in top 20) Completion % 64.0 61.9 YPA 7.69 7.04 Ints 139 78 Disclaimer: I am not a Colts fan or a big Manning fan. |
this is like 20 years ago when I was stuck in the Marino/Montana debates. Brady has had a less talented team throughout his career and his team has done better.
I am too lazy to look up the playoff numbers, but compare their post-season records. Brady, like Montana, is able to convince his teammates that, no matter what has happened earlier in the game, he WILL lead them to victory. The only way to quantify the quality of leadership is by victories in meaningful games. |
[quote=melioris;105044 Brady has had a less talented team throughout his career and his team has done better.
[/QUOTE] Not on the defensive side of the ball though. I am becoming more of a Brady fan every year but if Brady and Peyton would have switched teams I think the results would be the same. |
But could Manning win 2 Super Bowls with the worst RBs and WRs in his division? In the Super Bowl XXXVI and XXXVIII years nobody in his right mind would argue that the Jets, Dolphins and Bills didn't all have better players at those positions than the Pats. |
