Super Bowl Betting - Colts vs. Bears...

[Zybomb]

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

Do you guys mean to tell me no one has any thoughts on this game? Come on now...

[eejit101]

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.

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.

OMG, WHAT ARE THEY GONNA DO, THERE WERE TWO COLORS, VEGAS IS GONNA GO NUTS!

[Zybomb]

I really wonder what happens -- do both colors win?
