I'm not playing anything this week because my dad will be tailgating with me all day tomorrow and he doesn't know I do this. But I like Clemson -10 Rutgers -7 Washington +25 KState -24 Cal +3 Zona + 9 1/2 OU -4 1/2
Not sure. I looked at tonight and don't like it. Don't like baseball today either. I'll post some picks saturday morning between 8-9am.
Keep it that way. My parents are the best but they are pretty straight laced. Dad doesn't drink or gamble. They found out I do this last year and now every fucking day when Im watching any sports with them, they always ask "Who do you have in this game" or "Did that TD hurt or help you" Most annoying thing ever
Yeah but I never play on my own team when they're the favorites. I wouldn't want Texas to win by 3 and still be pissed off because I lost.
My feelings exactly. Plus, as objective as I feel... I'm probably not. I'll more than likely bet on your horns for you this weekend.
I don't like it when I tell my friends who I have for that very reason. I don't think I could handle it if my mom or dad asked me that every time I watched sports.
My dad likes to bet on games too. I've got him using vegasinsider and thespread now. He doesn't bet a game though unless he can watch it.
Me and my buddies all bet on the games. Usual saturdays are just us 4 in front of the 3 TVs with laptops going betting away.
None of my friends bet. They all understand the concept of it and I ask for their opinions a lot. They just don't do it. The reason I say I don't like my friends knowing what I have on a team is because I'll usually get shit like, what are you thinking or that's terrible.
Normal fans and betting people are two complete different things. Like last night I take some bets for a buddy of mine who does it for fun and nothing serious. He dropped 500 on Arizona -2.5. I was like are you sure because I am really like STL as a Home Dog. He was like yeah Arizona will beat them by 30. Betters see those trap type games. Normal fans do not
I do a pickem with some buddies that don't bet and they just do it for fun. Every week they take teams like Minnesota +7 last week against Iowa or Nebraska -4 against UCLA a few weeks ago with the same mentality. Or they just take big public favorites every week because thats their team and of course they will cover against Scrub U.
Tonights games are so weird. Utah State/BYU is such a toss up. If the QB play from the Utah & Boise State game shows up, then Utah State wins. If the QB from the rest of BYUs games, then they win big. Probably a good 2nd half type bet. Taking the Under in Pittsburgh/Syracuse for 2 Units. So everyone take the over. I am something like 1-6 this year on Weekdays
I think I'm leaning Utah State/over, and Syracuse. But will probably lay off and wait until tomorrow.
Which side? Over/under? You guys are starting to make me like the over for Utah State too. My guy has it at 45 1/2.
Nothing worse than that. I fucking hate people who talk about a bet after the fact almost as much as I hate people who get all excited because they selected the game in their pick 'em.
TOP BETTING TRENDS: Panthers are 8-1-1 ATS vs. a team with a losing record Orange are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games overall Under is 4-0 in Panthers last 4 road games Under is 8-1 in Orange last 9 games following a bye week So obviously the trends are for Under & Pittsburgh
Hard to get a read on this. Cuse is a bad team but that line has moved 5 points since open (Pitt has gone from -3 to +2). Do you follow the steam or not?
I followed the steam. I always like Syracuse in the Dome. Their QB is pretty good. I think it will be a 30-27 type game.
haha, my dad is the one who got me into gambling when I was like 9 years old .. I've far surpassed him in every aspect though. My mom actually suggested I go back to school for statistics to help in my endeavors, which I am doing, though not specifically for this it will help.
Holy fuck I won a weekday bet. I wish I would have taken Cuse +3 on Sunday then Pitts +2 today. Would have been perfect.
Just found out my book doesn't charge juice if you buy a half point and push. Bought Cuse down to 1 and didn't get charged juice!
Here are the plays that I have as the wrong team favored. Record so far this year is 12-7 Temple +4 Florida +2.5 Texas Tech +4 Purdue +3 New Mexico State +9.5 (This line is crazy for my numbers. I have NMSU favored by .18) SMU +2.5
took this parlay yesterday UtahSt +6.5 (-105) Auburn -7.5 (-105) Rutgers -7 (-105) KansasSt -24.5 (-105) Northwestern +3 Duke -1.5 (-105) IowaSt +7 (-105) Texas -6.5 (-105) UCLA -2.5 (-115) WashingtonU +25 (-105 only 9 more wins and im 15k richer
Early games: Army +7x E Mich +3x Ga Tech +11x Evening: Texas -6x Cal +3x Mia +14x Looking at these for tonight: Ole Miss +14 (got cold feet on this play) Texas -7 (+105) Cal +3x
Early games: Kansas St -25 (Kansas) Penn St -2.5 (Northwestern) On the fence about adding KU-KSU o54 to that.
Parlay for the day. 200 to 14k. Air Force -8 Duke -1 Kansas State -25 Southern Miss +10 UNLV/La Tech Over 70 SDSU -21.5 New Mexico -3 La La -27.5
Correct, it means .5 Growing up, my dads line sheets always used x instead of .5, so I've just always written it that way.
CFB for me so far: Ark State -1.5 Utah +14 Temple +4.5 Penn State -2.5 UNC -5.5 Purdue +3.5 Florida +2.5 Army +7 Texas -7
