    I mentioned it in the Week 8 topic, but I will be playing Michigan if they are anything less than -7 (and I expect it will be around a pickem).

    Early early likes:

    Washington +21 v. Oregon State (anyone that watched that OSU/BYU game knows the Beavers had no business covering that game. Think they are the most overvalued team in CFB at this point outside of ND. Washington is a very good home team and covers at an unreal clip in Seattle. Definitely my favorite play at first glance).

    Iowa State pk v. Baylor (Baylor has struggled on the road and has one of the worst defenses in CFB giving up 44 points per contest. Iowa State was in a bad spot last weekend against OSU on the road against a team out for serious revenge as the Cyclones derailed their title hopes in 2011. Now back at home playing a Baylor team on its FOURTH road trip in five games).

    Georgia Tech -1.5 v. BYU (BYU had the luxury of getting almost two TDs against a extremely overrated ND team last week and looked good. But travel is going to start to wear on them. Provo --> South Bend, South Bend --> Provo, Provo --> Atlanta. That is some serious serious travel. Last time we saw travel like this we saw what happened...WVU got boatraced by Texas Tech).

    Jesus, I'm an idiot. :facepalm:

    Was looking at Washington State not Washington. Looks like OSU is -4 v. Washington. That line feels really dirty. Obviously not as inciting as +21 :loldog:

    Sorry about that fellas.

    IF you have a Betonline account take Fresno State +8 right now!

    Line is all messed up. They posted the wrong line. It should be at -13 (where it is at Bookmaker). That's 21 free points it they honor it.

    EDIT: And the line just went from 8.5 to 9.

    Also on GT, BYU doesn't face any option teams I don't believe. Really tough to prepare for GTs style of blocking in just 1 week.

    I'm sort of biased here as I am a Clemson fan but I wouldn't touch that South Carolina game. As good of a defense as SCAR has, Tennessee can still put up some points. The injuries are mounting up for SCAR and Spurrier has started a QB controversy which has spelled disaster for him a lot of times. SCAR offense is very suspect right now.

    Not saying to take Tennessee but I won't be touching this game.

    Gotcha. I have a hard time believing Lunt will come in and be as effective as before since he's had a month off, though. Maybe Vegas is expecting a big let down game from Boykin after a tough loss and on his first road start.

    Just a tough one to make sense of.

    new to betting, what does 2 units mean
     
  33. bRamonceTaylor

    bRamonceTaylor Well-Known Member

    you set your own value for what a unit is. It can be $10, $25, $100, etc. whatever. The way I look at it, is to use it as a measure of somebody's confidence in their bet. Ex. someone bets 1 unit on a game is less confident than someone who bets 3 units.

    Lots of times people will represent them with *'s. So: Texas/KU(+22)*** would mean someone picked KU +22 and put 3 units on them.

    Sorry if you already knew some of this. I asked the same question a year or two ago.

    I didn't know either, and I'm not a seasoned bettor, so the vets itt can correct/expand upon what I posted.

    I learned a lot from captbunch on the Texas board last year, particularly about playing vs. the public and home dogs. Using the gambling board a lot more this year and while I haven't had a great season so far, have learned a lot about different philosophies from the different posters.

    No clue. If I didn't feel ACC teams were inconsistent as all hell (i.e. very hard to predict) I'd put a decent amount on that line. It's early but my biggest play of the week may be La Tech over NMSU. NMSU lost to Idaho 18-26, the same Idaho team that La Tech just skull fucked 70-28.

    Maryland QB Perry Hillis was injured against NC St. MRI on his knee today. No word on his status at this point. Remember MD's returning starter was injured in the preseason so they'll basically be going with the 3rd string guy if Hillis is out.

    once you bet baseball for a little while -115 doesn't even phase you.

    Kstate and Washington as well

    Backing double digit road favorites with bad defenses is a good way to burn a hole in your pocket, but...

    Screw it, Clemson -13 it is.

    We have covered 4 straight and I think our weak schedule is undervaluing us a tad in Vegas. Chad Morris was not happy in his post game interview after VT (a game we covered easily) and I think our offense will look much strugger on Thursday.

    Homer alert so take that with a grain of salt. I'm just tired of not backing Clemson and missing out on some serious cash.
