I saw Stanford in the first half against Duke... Second half the depth difference took over

Stanford is a second half team though anyways

going by your score prediction, that's cutting it close since the spread is -20 or -21. this game is just to close to call since U Dub can score as well. best bet is probably the over, but i will just enjoy the game and watch Luck do what Luck do and throw the deep ball to his TE's

because so many people on this board think Sharp = dogs and chalk equals squares........I bet on dogs less the 20 percent of the time ..my record this year not including any wek 8 plays...So far this season ......56-36-2...... 5-0 10 unit MONSTER plays +50units 5-2 5 unit BIG plays + 14units 2 unit Reguar plays 46-34-2 + 18.2 units Total is 82.2 units up including juice..................I do not post my thread here to many trolls......check out roag bettors threads I hang where he does or look for me on twitter same name with hh and the end

Under normal circumstances, I would say that Stanford is over-achieving this season and their tougher schedule over the second half of the season will make it more visible, however there's a lot of pressure on them to play the full 60 minutes when they're on the outside looking in with respect to BCS ranking. Add to that the personal motivation Andrew Luck has to make himself as marketable as possible and I doubt we'll see much of Stanford letting their foot off the gas in the second half of games.

I think that situationally, playing against Stanford would normally be a good call, but the special circumstances make it a bad one. As it stands, I think they slip at some point, but betting against them is not a wise move. No play.

I'm not betting them cause I think the line is sharp

there's people here playing UW with the idea that they could easily cover this

BigDofBA · 10-21-11, 04:42 PM

What lines aren't sharp?

It doesn't matter if you pick a dog or favorite. Vegas just wants you betting.

Simple math usually beats people. Most can not win at a high enough percentage to beat the juice.

The public sucks at picking dogs as well.

People think that picking favorites = a square play, however, dogs can be square plays too.

It's about picking winners.

BigDofBA · 10-21-11, 04:47 PM

Personally, I think if you really want to make money, betting more less often is the way to go.

Just go really big on the rare occasions you're super confident.

If you go like 200-180 you would probably be down betting $100 a unit.

If you bet 7 games all year betting like 10k a game and went 5-2, you would be up a lot.

The books want you to play every game.

It's almost like flipping a coin. Heads is -120 and tails is -105 Try beating those odds over time.

BernardMadoff · 10-21-11, 05:01 PM

How did you come up with 45-24, if you didnt know the spread would you have "come up" with such a score?

sandman0713 · 10-21-11, 05:13 PM

he said a "45-24 type game"...not that the final is gonna be 45-24. meaning a game where washington scores some but just gets overpowered in the end, and it will likely be close to the spread.

And that just happens to be a 21 point difference.

True. How could I forget about that Tulsa game. That was the easiest play of my life.

When everyone kept saying they were going to play Tulsa I was trying to talk them out of it but no one listened. Why would anyone listen to a guy that lives here and has watched both teams play in person quite frequently over the past 17 years?

I loved how a few of the people talked like it was going to be a road game for OSU. The truth of the matter is, there are more OSU and OU alumni living in Tulsa than there are Tulsa alumni. Whenever OU or OSU come to town, there are way more OU or OSU fans in the seats. 14 was a gift.

I think sometimes Vegas either gets lazy, or tries to trick people into taking the wrong side. I also have a theory that it takes them longer to set good lines in college athletics. I have made a killing early in the season the past two years until Vegas finally adjusts. Maybe it's because there are a lot more college teams and more information to go over.

Is there a reason I do really well betting on college sports but suck at the NBA and NFL???? I feel like NBA and NFL lines are a lot sharper.

Brahma you know all we do to make these picks is an educated guess? You kill me you hate on people's picks until there picks win then you are nowhere to be found... So I guess it isn't worth getting into with you

go back and read what you said dude. A Washington team with a defense that gave up 51 points against Nebraska has a chance to win @ Stanford??

well I guess 0.0000001% is still a chance

AdamL2424 · 10-21-11, 06:55 PM

Nebraska doesn't run a pro style offense

Stanford is an absolute behemoth this year. I don't even think Oregon has a chance to win in that place

Glitch · 10-21-11, 07:12 PM

they did put up 52 or so points last week. 52 + 3 touchdowns is a lot of points (they did not play stanford last week*)

also think this is a stay-away.

AdamL2424 · 10-21-11, 07:13 PM

And you came to this conclusion from the tough schedule they have played? they have played absolutely NOBODY!!!

and who has washington beaten???

giving up 51 points to a terrible nebraska offense is laughable

AdamL2424 · 10-21-11, 07:16 PM

I mean when youre leading reciever is your TE.... That doesnt strike me as a behemoth

AdamL2424 · 10-21-11, 07:20 PM

Do you think the trees are gonna throw all over them or run?

I can't figure out if you're a blind homer, a troll or incredibly stupid

Stanford is a legit top 5 top 10 team. Sure they haven't played anybody this year but you're talking about a team that beat Virginia Tech by 28 in a BCS bowl game last year (and it's the same team, if not better, than last year)

Stanford will be undefeated this year...

AdamL2424 · 10-21-11, 07:26 PM

Blind homer? have you seen my avatar? And why does it always have to go to name calling with you hahaha you get soooo mad when people dont agree with you... you act like you hit like %60 or somthing.... but if the huskies cover tomorrow im sure i wont hear from you

AdamL2424 · 10-21-11, 07:28 PM

And how can i be a troll? i mean look at your subject line for this thread? wasnt that a question asking for responses?

you're trying to discredit a team that has lost 1 game over the last 2 years on the road against a top 3 team in the country

that's why

AdamL2424 · 10-21-11, 07:38 PM

So that makes me a troll when you make a subject line asking why people like washington then people come in that dont agree with you so you go all school boy on me with name calling... "youre stupid adam"

AdamL2424 · 10-21-11, 07:39 PM

How confident are you? We could put a little friendly wager on it
