ULLafayette -230 money line

Bbfromgpt · 12-22-12, 09:00 AM

No such thing bro, however I'm pretty confident ULL wins by close to 12-20 points. Ima say 44-30

vinndy · 12-22-12, 09:38 AM

Reread it, got it and agree 100%

Bbfromgpt · 12-22-12, 09:53 AM

Absolutely it makes sense, not understanding what you are struggling to comprehend. Are you saying the score can't be 44-30, or are you saying a 14 point victory does not fall between 12 and 20 points? Really confusing post

U LL laying 7 and the ml is -230? very strange.....

vinndy · 12-22-12, 10:33 AM

My book went to -6.5 so I jumped on it. I hope we're right!

Why, gamble ? If you cannot sit, read, study, think on your own you should not be on here asking for others ideas. Do as I do go with what you think will happen, dont ask others

Good luck to you, you should no there is no such thing as a quarantee. They teach you that in second grade when we all started gambling

Mine is -6.5 -240 but you are right -7 should be around -285 or so

Ull and washington.... nuff said. Thats my thoughts for todays

One lock I can share is a concept that not every favorite will win all the time, as then the Books would be out of business, and that'll never happen in our lifetimes. Thus, take the underdog money line in the first game, and if the fave wins, take the underdog ML in the 2nd game, and if the fave wins that one then take NFL Lions' ML tonight. And if the fave wins all 3 games, then keep betting the dog in the bowl games until the dog hits. The concept simply is to bet that the fave is not going to win every bowl game. An underdog has to win sometime ... it just has to.

Chances are that one of the dogs will win one of the football games today, which is a virtual lock.

Also, never forget, if you bet 2 underdogs, you only need to win one out of 2 to be UP the juice. Of course, if you win both you clean up, and if you lose both then you've just made an investment to the next bowl games where inevitably the dog will come thru sooner or later.

Yea usually ends up about 50/50 or so for bowl season

skeetmasterc · 12-22-12, 11:58 AM

My underdogs for bowl season are:

Georgia Tech 10.5 over USC
Notre Dame +10.5 over Alabama
Pittsburgh U +3.5 over Mississippi

i agree with this idea, but will the person doing this be able to walk away with a profit if say ECarolina wins outright?

most of us will continue to bet the later games, thus giving some if not all back....but if you have the discipline, i like this idea today. obviously play the ML and not ATS
