I'm not trying to defend anything - I got 3 and took it and won. On to the next gameComment -
biff thank you so much for changing my mind on wisconsin!!!!Comment -
Well, I went 2-3 today, not so hot....buuuuuut I went +9 units.
Even though my record isN'T fantastic, I had my money on the smart plays apparently.
Up a total of 12 units on the season.
(Edit: that should have said ISN'T, I wasn't trying to be conceited.)Comment -
anytime, pal. i gotta be honest though and recognize that it was a pretty fortunate win, considering that the game didn't go the way that i capped it, so i'm just glad that it worked out for us. whatever, though, i've had plenty of bad luck this fall, i feel zero guilt for some good luck.Comment -
4* UConn +16' - LOSER
4-2 +6.2u for the day, 14-9 +11.8u for the bowls. thanks much for the collaboration and the well wishes, i think that it's gone pretty well (other than perhaps a drunken rant about Big Ten hoops attendance - where did that come from? heh heh). no bowl games today, but leaning Stanford tomorrow. time to cap some NFL and find a few plays for today. been hard to focus on NFL with so much great CFB action last few days.Comment -
A few NFL games I like:
KC -3
Minn +3
NYG -3.5
SD -3 (Pound it)
SD/Den OVER 47 (Iffy)Comment -
hmmm, i was just capping Minn/Det and leaning Lions, perhaps i should discard that one. the one game that i like a lot is Tampa +7'. Saints off MNF upset that punched their playoff ticket, while this is playoff game for Bucs. Bucs solid on the road and as medium dog (3'-9') this season and will get revenge for October blow-out by Saints in TB.Comment -
upon further review, i cap MIN/DET as Lions, 24-20, so pass for me. i like Browns +5' and Titans +9 each a bit, but will pass on both of those too. i've seen way too many pastings of the Browns at the hands of the Stillers, and the Titans are way to inconsistent to back.Comment -
I've been confused the entire NFL season. Never sure of anything. My motto now for the NFL is
"few bets - small bets"Comment -
Good Luck Biff. I'm sure I'll be a homer and go with the pack.Comment -
2* lions -3
1* chiefs -3 (i think its up to 5 now)
1* to win 2.8* - steelers + redskins parlay ML
BOL biff, zulu, rick... happy new years boys.. may tail on chargers and bucs!Comment -
wow so looking back on my wagers it looks like i was a little bit hammered last night..
i've actually got 5 units on detroit -125 and 2.5 units on kc -125... hahaha that was a shocker right there. amaretto in your beer is delicious and completely unnecessary.. just like jager bombs..Comment -
whoa, glad that big play on lions worked out twilight. we left browns game early and watched that one plus Bucs and Pats at bar. Bucs and Pats over hit, c'mon GB and SD.Comment -
Glad I stick mostly to collegiate sports for my gambling needs.
I had 2 units on KC and 6 on SD.Comment -
4* Stanford -3
The Cardinal and the Hokies are pretty evenly matched, both sporting excellent QBs, strong running games and solid defenses. The difference tonight will be Tech's surprising vulnerability to the run and Andrew Luck's ability to pick the Hokies apart when Bud Foster is forced to over-commit his defenders forward to stop the run. BOL to all tonight.Comment -
I was leaning that way also - but now it's 3 1/2. Not as sure, might still give it a go.Comment -
I'm leaning Stanford as well.Comment -
while i don't like how much of the public is on Stanford, i think that the Cardinal wins by a TD plus. VT's uncharacteristically weak rush defense plus Luck's accuracy should bring us the win. Stanford, 34-26.Comment -
hmm.. i was thinking about buying it down in a parlay like stanford +3/over 53..
might throw a unit on itComment -
1* stanford ML/over 52 parlayComment -
fake punt. bah. VT could not have been more ready for that.Comment -
4* Stanford -3 - WINNER
15-9 +15.8u for the bowls. not betting the Sugar Bowl, i'm OSU fan, but i think that Arkansas +3' is decent value. lean over a bit as well but don't think that i like enough to bet it, esp given the downward line movement with the public on the over.
leaning MTSU, A&M, Auburn the rest of the way.Comment -
Sugar is a tough one, but I'm going to go with Arkansas at +3. Biff, I highly suggest reevaluating. I believe that Miami oh is the play.Comment -
Glad I decided to tag along on Stanford. Tonite is really tough - but I tend to go along with Zulu. Watched Arkansas a few times this year and was impressed - should be a heck of a game.Comment -
lucked out with the push last night, boys!
hmm.. zulu i really don't like seeing you on the other side of this one, but i'm rolling with 1 unit on osu -3..
biff, interesting you like the over, if anything i like the under even @ 57.5 (thats where i'm seeing it now). but like you, i don't like it enough to bet it. enjoy the game!Comment -
i don't blame you for taking Arky and the points. as for the GoDaddy Bowl, i'm all ears, but i cap the teams at roughly even, the line movement and coaching change favor MTSU, and if there's one thing i know, it's to fade the MAC in the bowls. i like the MAC, but they are 1-2 this year and 1-14 in the last 15 prior to this year. if the Redskins were catching a bunch of points, it'd be one thing.
it really should be. i think i'll take the night off entirely and just watch, going to a friend's house to watch. this is a huge game for Tressel.Comment -
glad you got that push, i'd initially thought you had 53. the reason that i like the over is that OSU hasn't seen a passing attack like Arky's this season, and the razorbacks start fast. i think that it will be surprisingly open from the start, and Arky has a lead after halftime, so there won't be any opportunity for vintage Tresselball. Bucks need this one, and i think that they'll get it, but i don't think that they'll be holding Arky to less than 4 scores. BOL with your Buckeye play. OSU, 34-30, i say.Comment -
Ohio States defense has really stepped it up for Arkansas. I know the MAC has been weak in bowls, but I've watched every televised MAC game this year, and Miami Oh is playing some good football (For the MAC, that is to say.) Kudos to everyone on Ohio State, luckily I did not put money on that one. My last wager will probably be the NC. Miami Oh and TAMU are possibilities, and Nevada/BC have a slim chance of garnering some of my money, but it really depends on how things work out. I'm well in the black on the bowl season and I would love to keep it that way.Comment -
nice, glad that you did not lose any money on the sugar bowl. that game was a coinflip all the way. i almost played the 2H under for Tresselball but just wanted to watch. OSU had some lucky breaks, but they definitely gave a respectable effort, esp on defense against Mallett and given the injuries on defense. i really didn't want to get out of bed and go to work tomorrow if Arky turned that blocked punt into a TD. i'm really glad for the kids on the team, they deserve to enjoy this. good for them, and good for Arkansas too - this was a great BCS game.
i'm happy to re-think MTSU/Miami if you have a better angle. i know that they were impressive late, esp in MAC title game, but do you really think that we'll see the same Miami team given the coaching change? i also like the under there a little, in part due to coaching change, in part because i always like unders in bowl games between non-BCS teams. and i agree, being ahead at this point in bowl season - plus really liking Auburn - i don't see a reason to force plays. i need to look more closely at the final 5 bowl games, i think maybe TAMU, maybe some unders, then Auburn. i actually think that you could play just unders from here forward and go 3-2, maybe 4-1, need to think about that some more.Comment -
