[MexicanStallion]

Good luck Ralphie. I am on Tulsa for tomorrow as well. Keep up the good work

[Ralphie1412]

thanks stallion.......ACTION STARTS TOMORROW!

[Dbldown11]

I'm on Florida St. and Tech with the spreads so like those picks...No real opinions on the others. Although I would recommend playing Texas and I am on them myself. GL to you Ralphie as we are not against eachother on any

[Ralphie1412]

I told my buddy a few weeks ago that after Nebraska, Oklahoma St. and Texas that this "4-0" mizzou team would be 4-3. They are a bunch of busters. I will most likely be playing texas big but since its late at night I will most likely see how Oklahoma and the rest of the bets do. I think Boise St. first half is a great play. It will be under -14.

for sure, I was on Nebraska two weeks ago, and on Ok. St. last week. Mizzou was even more overrated at 4-0 than LSU or Auburn (and they were both highly overrated). They have no defense, and a fair offense. However they wont be putting up too many points on Texas, and Texas should score at will most of the game

[Ralphie1412]

agreed. Gilbert is in for a long day. He thought Oklahoma St. was tough?


IS IT ****ING SATURDAY YET??!?!?!?!?!??!?!!?!?

[Ralphie1412]

I might play this teaser: Tulsa -.5 and Florida St. +10

[HoulihansTX]

I might play this teaser: Tulsa -.5 and Florida St. +10

Why not tease the total to a favorable OVER play in the Tulsa game??

I can't stand not getting paid the day my initial plays go down.

[Ralphie1412]

I dont really like the total, I lean over sure, but who doesnt? I really think FSU and Tulsa win. I will probably just stick to my original tulsa play. I love that Lang is on UTEP, makes me feel that much more confident.

"I can't stand not getting paid the day my initial plays go down." what does this mean?

[HoulihansTX]

I don't like to have a parlay with plays that happen on different days. Its really just a preference of mine.

[Ralphie1412]

ahhhh i see. My buddy is like that.

[Ralphie1412]

one reason I like my local bookie is because he offers parlays and teasers with open spots. I kill them all the time. Like right now I have Miss. St. -4 (win) Denver Broncos +4 (win) and 2 open spots. 100 pays 1,000. So now I cant just sit back and wait for a favorite play or some easy 2nd half lines.

That's sweet. Vegas wouldn't ever offer something that good. I would kill those every Sunday in the NFL. 2nd Half Lines are my bread and Butter. I dont post them b/c I watch games at my Sportsbook, and jump on easy lines. I had Jets UNDER 17, and Patriots -1.5 2nd Half last Sun. Easy money.

[Ralphie1412]

nice, i had pats/titans over 7 3rd quarter.

[Ralphie1412]

ADDED PLAY:
TULSA/UTEP Under 60 -120

3.6 units to win 3

[Ralphie1412]

Tulsa -1 Under 66.5 TEASER 2.6 units to win 2

[WOK]

Ralphie and Houlians, do you have a concept or rules you follow to make a 2nd half bet? Thanks in advance. wok

[Ralphie1412]

No system per say, just look for value. Some times in a 2nd half you can get tons of points worth of value. For example I look to get over ten points of value. Heres an example:

If Bama is down 7 points going into the half as a 25 point favorite (they came out flat in the first half) and the 2nd half line is Bama -13. That means they only have to win the game by a touchdown. So a -25 point spread just went to a -6. So you just got 19 points of value. Thats what I look for, tons of value from the original spread.

[Cougar Bait]

Looks good Ralphie...on 3 of them with you...but not your big plays...I am not a fan of laying big points...GL this week

[PeePee]

Ralph,
How'd you been doing in your big plays, 11U?
GL on your plays.

[Ralphie1412]

only had 2 11 units plays and that was nebraska at mizzou and miss st at midd ten......both hit. 2-0

Tulsa/UTEP 2nd half under 30.5 2.2 units to win 2

[Ralphie1412]

I should have put more on the 2nd half under. oh well I got the full game under too :cheers now if tulsa would wake up.

[darkenergy]

Hey ralphie...I'll be away from computer now. So if Tulsa covered, I'll transfer points to you tomorrow ok.
BTW, I have Tulsa -7 EVEN for 2units 2H.

[Ralphie1412]

no worries, or just transfer them now and if UTEP backdoors ill transfer 200 back.

[WOK]

thanks for the info. I still remember in Ncaa basketball when duke was playing some team and was beating them by 30 or so. The 2nd half line was Duke -5 or -6. I took Duke for the 2nd half and they lost. I thought that they would keep up the intensity but 1 thing I didn't think about is that these teams are looking at the total score on the scoreboard. They aren't looking at the 2nd half score. So if Duke lets up and puts in 2nd team, it wont matter as long as they win big. Boy was i pissed at Duke!!!!!!!

[Ralphie1412]

i had tulsa spread, money line, a teaser, and 2nd half under that went to crap in a matter of seconds, looked so good too. oh well thank go the under hit.

[Ralphie1412]

-7.85 units on the night....what a kick in the nuts, had that game.

YTD 50-36 +67.33 units

[Ralphie1412]

Still stinging from that tulsa melt down.

Florida St. +125 2 units to win 2.5

[kotzwell88]

I'm present FSU +2.5 !!!!

[Ralphie1412]

Lets get it!

[saltwatercowboy]

I'm not that high on Texas. Think they are living off of reputation more than anything right now. While I have no interest in their game this week, if forced to select it, I would take Mizzou and the points. The Texas offense just hasn't been in sink. Mizzou has lost 2 straight but Gabbert has played both those games with basically 1 leg. He hasn't been able to scramble or move at all. I think Mizzou hangs tough and covers this one. GL with what you decide.

[HoldEmHook!!]

ralphie i paid you the 30 points for last nights looser

[dimon]

GL this weekend man

[Cougar Bait]

On FSU tonight as well Ralphie. They owe us our money back after that garbage of a 4th quarter last night. GL
