yeah I'm cutting back to limit the # of games I pick and put more money on them. it seems to work better for me than smaller amounts spread around, lol
Heh, especially if its two shitty teams I don't care about. Anyway, here's a screenshot I took of the odds on betonline.com to win the BCS this season. Obviously a few have been mathematically eliminated. It'll be interesting to see how much that changes up after this weekend's games.
I disagree. Georgia Tech may score on Clemson because I'm not so sure that Clemson can stop Georgia Tech all game but Clemson will score all game as well. I think that though Clemson won't stop Georgia Tech all game, they will get 2-4 stops through the game, whereas I'm not sure Georgia Tech can do that with Clemson. Clemson is as talented on offense as anyone in the country. Georgia Tech isn't. They are one dimensional. Once Clemson slow the run down and makes Washington throw, I think that's when Clemson pulls away. Washington is prone to turnovers here lately, not accurate and Clemson may not have a great defense but they seem to get turnovers and get better as the game goes.
Good luck to you. I got GT at +6 when it opened. If you are going to play on Clem, keep waiting. you can get 3.5 now. Wofford averaged almost 5 yards per rush against Clem, running the triple option. There is a reason this line is so low after Clem destroyed UNC and GaTech got destoryed by Miami. GT may not cover, but they are the play if you play on this game.
Oh I'm not playing the game. I haven't touched a Clemson game all year but I'm just saying I don't think Georgia Tech has the offense to keep up in this game. If the line is down to 3.5 that's tempting but I'll still stay away because...well...it's Clemson.
yup...that is what i am counting on. A "Clemson" game this week, on prime time, under the lights in Atlanta.
Ha, very possible. This is a game they should win, but they are Clemson. So they will choke and it will be the year their coach is on the hot seat before they are good again.
Think people are vastly overplaying the Wofford game into the equation. It's pretty well known from insiders that Clemson spent veryyyy little time preparing for Wofford and focused much of that week on getting ready for Auburn.
if we're gonna use "what they did against so and so" type arguments, GT lost to virginia. virginia Spoiler virginia
georgia tech just lost to miami, and it wasn't close. think about that for one second. clemson will win by double digits, and it would not surprise me to see a 24 point + win.
b b- b- b-but law of averages .... even if Tech is starting a younger, possibly more physically talented QB, it would be his first start and against a Top 10 team at home. If I touched the game, I think I'd take Clemson to win and buy the spread down another point to -2.5
Vegas doesn't like to give away money. The obvious play is Clemson, so you have to ask why? Again, Clem might win by 20+. If they do, Vegas will continue to take a bath. However, they build hotels off of these types of games.
They can make money off it a lot of ways though, people taking Tech as an underdog, points spread on either team, over/under, etc. They'll make $$ no matter what.
which site do you look at for #s? Vegas Insider? Seen a few diff % numbers folks on boards are throwing out
or if most of the public is making what turns out to be the wrong betting choices. like with the NFL, if most of the public is taking the over on games and home teams to beat the spread, if they're wrong this weekend then vegas would make money whereas earlier in the season they were getting killed.
Even has the reflections under the phone & laptop, very Web 2.0 design. Actually, I like it once I got into viewing the spreadsheet for games. Didn't realize I had to doubleclick a line to see a more full view of it, but that's a nice feature.
This week I am on a lot of favorites, hopefully it pans out... East Carolina -17 Miami Ohio -4 UGA -3 Hawaii -7 Stanford -8
Damnit, I can't get a good read on the Argonauts-Blue Bombers game tonight. Going to have to not play it.
big fan of Clemson and Arky this weekend. other plays: Penn, A&M, Wisc, Stan -7, Miss St, Hawaii, UGA
not how i expected the game to go, but still good call on that one. ended up going with the under, the team had complained about being tired past few weeks and needed a bye week earlier in the season, just didn't see them getting into a 62 total points shootout with paul johnson running the ball to keep them off the field. 5 October games is a bit brutal for any team. Can probably pull a play similar to it with a NFL team with a late-season bye week (new orleans). this ended up being an up and down day, hit on a few points totals and spreads, think i'm ahead like $8 total, lol
