I have seen this so many times on this forum.
Students at Cincinnati, Hawaii, Michigan State, Penn State...and now Ole Miss. All proclaiming "I am NOT betting with my heart", only to have it trampled.
I played Ole Miss, very small. So I am not writing this just to call you out.
I think you are fooling yourself if you don't think you are betting this game because of your emotional attachment to your school/team.
Ole Miss could very well be 11-1, they should have beaten Wake and South Carolina, and they had a shot at Alabama. But. And here is the big But. Texas Tech can play some football too, and I honestly don't see much of a difference between the two teams.Comment -
Alright guys about to leave the hotel. Gonna try and answer a few questions first.
Ole Miss went 0-8 in the SEC and had been horrible for the past 3 years. A culture of losing was apparent. Ed Orgeron was a great recruiter but just not a gameday coach. However he also didn't have a quarterback. Last years quarterback was a walkon from Delta State that could not start there. Jevan Snead is a great quarterback and it took a few games for him to play up to his potential.
Ole Miss has lost 4 games this year by a combined 19 points. Lost by 6 to Vandy. Committed 6 turnovers. Had an interception returned for a touchdown and a fumble at Vandy's goal-line. Completely dominated the game and still almost one even with the turnovers.
The Bama game was a battle till the end and lost 24-20.
Lost to Wake Forrest at Wake on a last second field goal. Jevan Snead became a man in this one. Only his second start but led Ole Miss to a touchdown with 1 minute left to go up. Ole Miss defense was very bad in the beginning of the season. Greg Hardy was hurt and there were other injuries. Greg Hardy led the SEC in sacks but did not play enough games to be ranked. Explain that.
Lost to South Carolina. Had 2 key fumbles in South Carolina's territory. One was returned 60 yards for a touchdown. Both were in the second half. Ole Miss was up for most of the game.
'
All in all Ole Miss is not an 8-4 team. It took awhile for this team to mesh with a new coach and a quarterback that had to sit out a year. Not only did this team have a new coach but a culture of losing. Took awhile for the team to realize all they could accomplish.
The Defensive Line for Ole Miss could be the best one in the best 10 years anywhere. Greg Hardy and Peria Jerry both will be first round draft picks. Jerrell Powe is a beast also. Kentrell Lockett is pretty damn good to. No one has the depth that we have or the amount of talent and that is not a homer pick. Coach Orgeron was a D-Line coach and he recruited some monsters. Our secondary has quietly gotten a lot better. They are very physical. Graham will be pressured the whole day by our defense and be flustered early. And that will be with out blitzing. The "Landsharks" will give Graham hell.
The only reason I see this game so high scoring is because Ole Miss will move the ball at will against Texas Tech. Eastern Washington a Division 2 team scored 28 against them. They will run on average about 2 times and then pass. But Ole Miss's passing game is pretty damn good now. Shay Hodge and Mike Wallace are great. The running game is insane with 3 guys capable of toking the rock and Dexter McCluster also when we run the wild rebel. Texas Tech's defense surrendered almost 500 yards to Nevada with the run, 400 yards to SMU with the pass, and 400 yards each to 2 Division 2 teams. They can be beat. Michael Oher will provide Jevan Snead with ample time to make decisions and Jevan Snead will make Texas wish he stayed.
Thats all the time I have but best of luck to all of you.
Remember these names: Greg Hardy, Peria Jerry, Jerrell Powe, Brandon Bolden, Dexter McCluster, Shay Hodge, Mike Wallace, and Jevan SneadComment -
Ole Miss seems to be the trendy pick. Reason enough to bet against them. and Common sense too. TT is going to win handily.Comment -
You think that Paris and bet it. Its the trendy pick because people that post on here do there homework and research. We dont just try to get lucky like the public. Tho luck always helps. We find edges in games. The public is still 80% on Texas Tech so dont look to much into the fact these people are betting on Ole Miss.Comment -
i have to agree with the pick but you never know to risk almost Ur entire bankroll is extreme, in any event i love Ole Miss and going big on then as well but would never rick nearly my entire bank.
BOL ill be rooting for US also have them on ml as well for half of spread bet which i bought up to 7 -160 16u
something i usually do when wagering 10 units or more i like the insurance and don't mind paying to get that extra edge.my ML wager is for 8u +165
other plays KENT / ECU under 42 2.2u KENT +3 1.1u BAMA -9 5.5uComment -
Well, likewise, i tip my hat to you given you are putting your money where your mouth is. And you are doing your homework as well, so no offense to you.
BUT, this just has that whiff of "trendy pick" all over it...you know, those often miss the forest because of the trees. I've watched both closely and i think TT is going to run them fairly easily. I may be wrong, but at least I've got my money where my opinion is, as do you.
We'll see!
i actually think the SEC is overrated this year with the exception of FLA. My money is on Utah to cover the spread against ALA too. i actually think a decent bet is a Utah moneyline bet straight up.Last edited by ParisHeel; 01-02-09, 12:36 PM.Comment -
Well considering you are new to sports gambling, here is a good piece of advice. It doesn't matter how objective you think you can be about YOUR team, you will never be-EVER. I can repeat your same mantra about life long love, inside info, dedication, message boards, and the like but just substitute Auburn for Ole Miss. I can assure over many years of wagering I've never been able to be 100% objective 100% of the time-anyone who claims such about their team is delusional at best. I seriously doubt you played against Ole Miss this year.
That being said, I am leaning Ole Miss in this game but still digging around. The rebs have a solid ball club and sustained offensive drives will be the key to taking out TT. TT thrives off quick action and scoring and forcing their opponent to "flip out" and abandon their game plan. Long sustained drives will keep harrell and crabtree on the sideline and it will frustrate the heck out of them and prevent them from getting into a rythm.
If TT gets rolling and up by a couple of scores, ole miss is done and will get blown out.
I know what TT's gameplan will be, but I'm very interested to see what Nutt has cooked up for this game.
Hopefully this turns out in your favor and you don't have to learn this lesson the hard way. Losing a massive portion of your bankroll along with your TEAM losing at the same time, no doubt while your 3 sheets to the wind, is just not a good way to get the year started.Comment -
I am going TT and in a separte bet, the Under at 67.Comment -
I am offically on the Ol Miss pick of the Week
Ol Miss +4.5
Betting only $100 so I know thats chump change but he you win some you lose some, but you live to fight another day.Comment -
Ole Miss non-conference schedule leaves no litmus for being tested by an offense like TT...get off the Rebels, they will get lit the f upComment -
heyy MisterMoney, CRYYYYY!!! CRYYYY BABYYY!!! LOST A LOT OF MONEY!!! YOU ARE A DUMP! BET ON MISS??? CRAZY GUY!!!!! ASSHOLE!Comment -
I am about to drop .5 unit on this one. Oh well, I am going to play some golf before Kentucky/ECU kick off.Last edited by MartinBlank; 01-02-09, 06:53 PM.Comment -
On Ole Miss +4 myself for just 1 unit but this thread was pretty funny. MisterMoney I definitely watch your picks just because I feel you put some thought into them which gives me another angle to look at games but I think it was a mistake for you to type up a life story on a forum like this. That said, I wish you the best of luck... Also, what's with some of the asshole on here? Oh well, good game so far... hopefully it stays this way with an ole miss cover
Good Luck Guys!

good sh*t MM... great call. i know you weren't the only one saying to take Ol Miss today, but you were certainly one of the loudest and most confident about it... i only put a small play on them so thanks for that, but looks like your ROLLING $$$$ now.
Keep it up.Comment -
MISTER MONEY .... all I have to say is a big THANK YOU. I was initially leaning Texas Tech...but after reading your threads and your write up you gave me the courage to take Ole Miss. Not only did I take them, but I took them for the biggest bet ever. 5 units on the rebels. One unit for me is $100.00. So $500.00 for me.
Thanks a lot! It was you and you only that made me make that pick. I also told several of my friends to back the Rebels and they did thus accounting for several more wins and happy faces.
Thanks again MM. Enjoy this moment, I can only imagine what it must feel like for you to win that kind of money.Comment
