    A Quant 2022 College Football thread

    Hey guys.... Good luck this year. Cash those tickets.

    I track my picks-- I welcome anyone to share a thought, mock me, talk trash-- it's all good here.

    I will hit 59% or better in this thread. I do not bet any other sport-- not the NFL, not the NBA, or college hoops.

    This is the only sport I bet. I bet between 6-8 games a weekend, I rarely find more than that where I find a number so far off in either direction.

    So, let's get after it.

    A unit is $100 bucks for me.

    1. Appalachian State. This opened at +108. I made a bad read, and got it @ -113. Risking 1.13 units to win 1

    2. Houston -4. Risking 1.10 units to win 1.

    3. Tulsa -6.5. Risking 2.2 units to win 2.

    4. Liberty -3.5 risking 1.65 to win 1.5.

    5. Boise State ML +105. Risking 1 to win 1.05.

    6. Notre Dame +17. Risking 1.15 to win 1.

    Again, feel free to stop by and talk some trash, or share a tip.

    Got my shit pushed in.

    I am not the guy who will say, "I lost but I had the right side"---- No, I flat out missed on a few. Clearly my power numbers have Boise State much too high--- they had a problem at QB, and it showed. They only threw for 180 yards against an Oregon State team that isn't exactly Alabama.

    Tulsa was up 10 in the fourth quarter, and managed to lose the cover. Liberty won by 2, missing the cover. Appalachian State was an incredible game, but depending on what number you got, or where you bought in, they broke your heart.

    Variance is a bitch, and normally over a season, these types of games are even out. I will win a game or two that I have no business winning.

    No crying over the $608 I lost on Saturday.

    Weekend tally.....

    1-5, -608.

    GL on the card today, Quanter..

    Seems like everyone is all over UNC...if ND can run the ball they should have a good chance of winning

    Against you on Wake, got Clemson -7 I feel like they should be able to get a lot more stops on defense.

    Omg. I went 0-5. Good news didn't bet any of that shit. How can N Ill play Kentucky so tough and then come home and get blasted like that?

    Also didn't cap it, but how was the OU/Texas total 65 when Gabriel was out? That was the easiest Under ever with OU not having a QB

    Actually I'm trying for 3-0 (Oregon State Stanford Over 53.5) with my actual bets. Over on my thread, but I'm not posting any more losers. Kiss of death right now. You won the contest. Tell me where you want the $100 donated

    I got ass blasted. Walking crooked this morning.

    Went a crushing 1-5-1, losing $725. And honestly----was happy Notre Dame got the cover for me.

    My yo-yo season continues--- just can not get any momentum going. Every good week, followed by a lousy week.

    I am now 18-18-1 on the year. Staying the course, good luck next week guys!

    Fred-- You are a good guy, I said that in your thread.

    Instead of donating--- keep your money, we will have a fun contest during bowl season.

    I seriously want everyone to win, you seemed to have turned it around last night. Keep grinding. Keep winning.

    GL this weekend. Do you play many weeknight games? I haven't noticed any. Had a big score on Baylor/WV Over last night. Small play on Navy +13 and Navy Over 21.5 tonight

    I'll be playing Kansas and probably Tenn myself on Sat

    No, I don't. I use my own set of numbers-- and deviations from Vegas lines is how I make my plays. I have not been able to quantify this mid-week games, the short week----- So I avoid. This shit is tough enough to handicap.....

    Props for posting, Quant. And Good Luck.

    My Coll FB observations from afar. In order to beat the house at this sport, I think one would need a few things:

    1) Some market-timing. Hard to beat the closers. Have to better on MOST of your tickets, have to beat the price by a few ticks.
    2) Have to have some volume. These lines are sharp. Gone are the days of isolating big plays, it's about taking small edges.

    The QB injury news is incredible each week. It's like every QB w/ a ding is questionable. And you don't get any REAL updates until the game starts and you see whether or not he's playing 1st series.

    There has to be value to having moles in this Coll FB market. Coaches aren't saying much. But it would be nice to see how active a guy is at practice.

    Chucky-- you nailed it!

    Lines are very sharp-- and the QB injury stuff is crazy--- perfect example was yesterday with NC State....Devin Leary, the ACC Pre-Season QB of the Year--- it was tough to pinpoint his injury all week-- now he is out for the year.

    Good stuff!

    Not a bad Saturday--- went 5-2, winning $470.

    On the year, I am 23-20-1, but still down $416.

    I keep hoping for momentum. May have to be more disciplined with my plays this week, tightening card, just to build some momentum.

    Hope you guys are cashing!

    You are just like me I can win big one day and then lose a sh*t ton the next

    I also might need to limit plays as I can handle 2 but if one brings down the other than it is probably best to choose the best play between the 2

    Have a "winning" record now but down in $ which is unfortunate since I was up both on record and $ now just the record which I hope to keep going for the rest of the season

    Good luck A Quant for this coming week!

    I was agreeing with you when you said "have a winning record but down $"---- I meant to say "Isn't that some shit?"

    I wrote that poorly....lol
