Some college football
 
Though I have been handicapping while playing poker, and that ain't been too hot recently.


Tonight (Friday) Rutgers-4

Saturday Missouri -16



I'm honestly not even sure why I'm playing at this point, but there you have it, probably more to come.

I have also taken Rutgers tonight, although I got the spread at -3.5 and I bought the hook

Penguinfan 09-29-06 04:50 PM

I see it at -3.5 a lot of places now as well, if it doesn't drop again (Which I doubt it will) I will do the same as you did.

I've noticed you are almost always buying extra points here and there. Is this profitable in the long run? Seems like throwing money away to me...

YAYAYAYA MIZZOU!:)
even tho we won like 31-6 last game we played horrible, u know that?
the others we played good.

Penguinfan 09-29-06 06:58 PM

Yea, but let's face it all Colorado has is a decent running game and Mizzou can shut down the run about as well as anyone in the country, honestly.

Robbr25 09-29-06 07:05 PM

Ok got both
Rut -3.5
Missou -15.5

jillaj 09-29-06 08:40 PM

A decent start.

Penguinfan 09-29-06 08:44 PM

I know you are talking to Zy here, but I'll say I will ONLY do it in the case of a line being -3.5 or -7.5, some books will not even allow you to move the line onto or off of 3 reguardless.

Otherwise, if you think the game is so close that half a point is gonna make the difference then you should probably not be playing the game anyway.

Robbr25 09-29-06 11:31 PM

What were we saying last week about penalties ?
Screwed us again.
Roughing the QB (justified call)
Pass Interference (Ball was not catchable, but they called it anyways)
Then a no call on a 2 pt conversion. (Probably justified)
So Rutgers wins, but only by 2 pts :(
Oh well.

bad luck continues...

Zybomb 09-30-06 06:13 AM

Unreal.... so while Im rooting for Florida to get the 2 pt conversion somehow this jackass gets the pass right into his hands, closes his hands around the ball (im thinking GOOD i have a chance now!) then it pops out like a fuckin (insert good analogy here, im too drunk to think of one)


and TP to answer your Q, I generally only buy points in football and when they are on the key number lines. For example 3.5, 7.5 (or 2.5 6.5 if im taking a dog). Whether or not its been profitable long term I dont know, but I do know it has won me several games.... does that make up for the extra vigs Im losing I dont know (my guess is likely not but...)
