Default 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 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

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


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

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.
