Some people's life savings is considerable. Others are not.

BigdaddyQH · 12-10-10, 09:39 AM

Suicide wagering are we?

gman2114 · 12-10-10, 09:41 AM

Can you cover the minimum wager with your life savings????

steve18 · 12-10-10, 10:24 AM

He probably lives paycheck to paycheck and has like a few dimes.

TiTlist · 12-10-10, 12:22 PM

vitalyo · 12-10-10, 07:38 PM

goodluck- if your sure that's the right move for you

wookieehumper · 12-10-10, 10:32 PM

Best of luck. I have a feeling it's going to be a winner

betting on unmotivated teams always a good wager

Actually I just started a new job and I have around $14,000 saved up. I got student loans to pay. If I lose, the worst thing that happens is I ask for money from my parents and they chew me out for betting all this money on a football game.

I doubt Boise St. will come into this unmotivated. They're going to try and blow out Utah. If they lose, people will not take them seriously again next year.

Bacon · 12-14-10, 02:01 PM

Good luck dude. Alot of $, but i agree, student loans can wait if need be, but i think boise st will cover!

If you are going to bet your life savings on one game then it better be Auburn -3.

mama gonna bail em out

Joe_Shabadoo · 12-15-10, 06:12 PM

Terrence Cain re-entering as the starter is probably the best thing for Utah, and is certainly better for a coach that has never lost a game with more than 2 weeks to prepare. Utah still has a ridiculous rotation on their defensive line and superb talent on the offensive front.

Motivation? Yes, I think that Boise will find this outing to be lackluster; Utah should have this game in their mind's eye as the most important of the whole season.

I don't think that this a prudent move, betting all of your clip on one game, when there are better options available.

qsilver335 · 12-16-10, 09:05 AM

Good luck I think they will win but I wouldn't put my life savings on it.

ji03 · 12-16-10, 09:36 AM

Good luck with this wager. We'll have to wait for gametime to see how motivated both of these teams are.

17 points is alot to give Utah... BOL man!

Ninersnut · 12-16-10, 11:05 AM

If I was going all in no way could I lay three scores. To much funky stuff can happen. Better off doing a 1q bet of tonights game and getting it over quickly!

THE PROFIT · 12-16-10, 11:15 AM

they will win but will not cover that number

DD Dogs in Bowls, thats just day one stuff, kid!

fballfan · 12-16-10, 02:08 PM

I like it. Good luck!!

tony_come · 12-16-10, 02:15 PM

Smart gut

dfberger23 · 12-16-10, 02:17 PM

This is reckless as fuk, Utah could easily cover this game.

james4512 · 12-16-10, 02:40 PM

Utah is fukking terrible the line should be 28. In all seriousness Boise blows them away look at what tcu did @ Utah and Boise might just be better than tcu best of luck most likely be a winner

JohnnyD4916 · 12-16-10, 02:48 PM

Good luck with ur life savings play

rm18 · 12-16-10, 02:49 PM

Wow I did not know Cain is starting, that makes me like Utah a little.

sapidoc · 12-17-10, 12:21 AM

I like this bet, but not live-savings like it. Take Wisconsin +3 on new years instead and enjoy doubling your life-roll

dngf · 12-17-10, 12:33 AM

Even if you are right, I think you are wrong. You see this all the time on this site and others, "I am going all in on a play I like." I like your pick, in my pools I like Boise to cover the big number, but it's still gambling and in theory its a 50/50 proposition adjusting for your edge. You have enough money for a down payment on a house. You could take at least $2,000 and put it in an IRA, as someday you will likely be my age. I like the pick, I wish you luck, but would really recommend that maybe you go 10%, 20% absolute max on any one play.

If he is truly living paycheck to paycheck he probably doesn't have even that. Maybe a few hundred extra for the game. God Bless these kinds of bettors.

stikymess · 12-17-10, 12:41 AM

Good luck, I've seen a few Utah games this year, they are not all bad, 17 is a pretty big number. It will depend on again like everyone is saying how motivated they are.

14k why not look at the stock market? Just all in on one game, I mean leave yourself room for error.

ringemup · 12-17-10, 01:02 AM

i give u credit 4 havin ballz but itll depend on utahs qb play whether they cover here jordan wynn has looked bad vs good defenses this yr but can they turn it around? utah is one of the most profitable bowl teams in recent history but they r outmatched here ill give u that
