John, why are you against WVU all year, last week you took Texas against WVU as a 20* you know how that turned out. WVU will win this game by 20+. I never doubt your picks but be careful betting against WVU this year. good luck on the other 2.

ok.. I will also double check the track record to date. Remember this is a long marathon and we are just at the half way point. The past three years have been big time winning seasons and my bowl games last year were red hot. Proof is in the text written.

So, I am going to split this CFB day into thirds. This will be the games taking us through games starting at 3:30 PM ET. Than I will be back between 3:15 and 4:00 ET to give you the remainder of the card. This way we can stagger the betting flows and see how we are doing, but the early results will have no impact on how I could play the evening games right now.

10* Minnesota + 3 1/2 -110 - I did a video on these three games. Noon ET start
10* Iowa State + 6 -110 Noon ET.
10* Texas Tech + 4 1/2 -110 3:30 PM ET.

Round Robin Parlay with those three teams using the money lines of Minnesota +145, Iowa State + +190, and TT + 160

I will be releasing a 20* later this afternoon. So, given the large number of games, at least by my standards, I will be back mid-afternoon..

Best of luck to everyone. and would appreciate your thoughts on my selections and some of the games you see as big opportunities.

Is that parlay 10* as well?

Likely a 3* parlay.

TLAC · 10-13-12, 09:10 AM

What time will you release the 20*?

I have to leave for work around 12:30ET, and won't be able to check the thread after that.

If you can do it before then, or send a PM, I would be very appreciative. Thanks for the hard work.

Hard to track the record properly when he doesn't specify. It's not the first time he's done that. Is there a default bet?

I've seen most parlays like that have a 3* bet. I'm guessing that is the case here.

jbizzle · 10-13-12, 10:51 AM

JR, I'll be out of cell range this afternoon and was wondering if you could do an early release or pm of the 20* as well?

I also liked a&m when they were at -7, I think they've been bet up to -9 with the public slightly on Louisiana tech still. Fellows aggie alum here and I think they probably still cover the -9. Louisiana hasn't faced anyone with their level of defense. The aggies came from behind to win last weekend on a last minute fg after turning the all over 6 times. Look for the aggies to clean that today and put a stomping on L.tech.

Are these against the spread or straight up? Also, Utah State started six minutes before your post.

Now you know... no defense whatsoever... I never thought it woudl be this ugly.... but I have a method to this madness of mine and that was a play I did like a lot. Anyway, it is just one win... and I wish Texas A&M would have held onto a 15 point lead with 2:04 left in the game. That loss has to be the worst tasting defeat I have ever had in my 18-year career. Winning 34-7... winning 59-44 with 2:04 left and lose the bet..

good catch on the parlay. I always, al;ways, al;ways will use a 3* amount on the round robin opportunities. I should have labeled as such as we have new thread viewers and contributors each day. Thanks for pointing that out to all of us.

We both are.

If the round robin parlay included a parlay of all three teams as well, my numbers are correct.

If it didn't, the parlay would have lost 9 units (not 9.9) and your numbers would be correct (your 10* bets were a +19, not a +19.9, so it all evens out).

I will presume since you posted what you did that the parlay did not include a bet of all three teams as well and will adjust my numbers accordingly.

10* North Texas + 4 1/2 -110

CapperGuy · 10-16-12, 05:32 PM

Andy Chloe · 10-17-12, 12:30 AM

shopbar picks · 10-17-12, 01:18 AM

John Ryan · 10-20-12, 09:30 AM

Big card today.. please be cautious with this sort of opportunity. Do not bet beyond your means and by all means keep betting the same amount per star unit as we have for the past three seasons that have produced successful results. I am down this season so far, but there are many weeks left and hopefully this week will cut into that deficit. But, there are NEVER any guarantees as we all saw play out in the 49ers game Thursday. BOL.

John Ryan · 10-20-12, 09:35 AM

5* Kansas State from the video. + 2 1/2 . I just can't see the WVU defense doing anything but giving up big plays.

JJJ · 10-20-12, 09:40 AM

You have a 10* for western kentucky and a 20* for la monroe ????
