Semper's Glory Picks

[Semper Fidelis]

Hello there guys, I have finally decided to start my own thread. I've been following this forum for years, but didn't actually make an account until last year. I've gotten so much help from so many people in this forum for various other sports, and I figured it's time I gave something back. College football is by far my best sport, and I always make more during football season than any other time of year. Since this is my first thread, I don't have any past results anyone can see. I don't expect anyone to believe I've been successful over the past few years since I have no proof of picks. I will just have to earn your respect and trust starting from scratch. I am an alumni of the University of Georgia, so naturally the SEC is my specialty, though I don't limit my picks to that conference alone. I will mostly post plays against the spread and totals, with occasional moneyline picks and parlays. I tend to be more selective in my plays, as I believe in quality over quantity. I've started off pretty hot so far at 7-2, as I had Vandy, BYU, UCLA, Tennessee, Boise State, as well as Northwestern, Illinois, and Miami so far today. My only losses so far are Stanford and Washington State. Of course I will not count any of these in my official record as they were not recorded in my thread. Tail at your own risk, I am not promising anything crazy. I won't claim any "locks" or any of that stupid crap, and I certainly don't claim to be the greatest capper. I can only promise good, solid picks to build your bankroll. I am not looking for points or anything, I don't care about any of that. I am just a huge college football fan trying to help others make some money. Like I said, this is an amazing forum, and I've made a lot of money over the years, it's about time I gave something back. Here are some more plays for tonight. The card isn't finalized yet, I may have more.

Alabama -13 4.4u to win 4u


Alabama ML -500 10u to win 2u


Auburn +2.5 3.3u to win 3u


Auburn ML +115 2u to win 2.3u


Parlay: Alabama -13
Auburn +115
LA Dodgers -148

1u to win 5.8u


Here's to making some money this college football season guys!

[Semper Fidelis]

Wow what a horrible call by the refs, that ball was clearly out before his knee hit the ground! Fortunately Auburn's defense held them and forced a punt!

[Semper Fidelis]

Here are some late night plays:


Arizona -10 3.3u to win 3u


Oregon O70.5 2.2u to win 2u


These are my last plays of the night. Bama of course looking good so far, and I believe Auburn will have a big second half. Good luck if you tail!

[4getaboutit]

GL. I'm with u on night plays.

[Semper Fidelis]

Well a bit unlucky with Auburn, could've been up a lot of units if not for them losing. It's ok, we'll be able to make it back once they play Miss. State this weekend. Clemson is one of those overrated teams that starts strong and fizzles later in the season. We'll be able to make plenty of money betting against them later in the season. I had the Baylor/SMU over last night but won't count it on here since I forgot to post it. Anyway for tonight I have a couple of plays that should win us some money. I will update my record and units soon before the weekend.


Virginia Tech -7.5
3.3u to win 3u


Virginia Tech ML -280
11.2u to win 4u


Virginia Tech/Georgia Tech O47
2.2u to win 2u


Naturally I love betting and rooting against the Yellow Jackets, but if this game were later in the season I'd be for them. I've made some good coin betting on them over the years-opposing defenses have problems preparing for that triple option attack. However, in this case the Hokies have had all year to prepare for this opener, so they should be fine and not too surprised by what the Yellow Jackets will throw at them. Good luck if you decide to tail!

[Semper Fidelis]

That Virginia tech game was horrible. Oh well, gives me more reason to hate the damn yellow jackets I suppose. Anyway I have a couple of plays for tonight's game.

Cincinnati -2.5 (-168)
3u


Cincinnati -4.5 (-125)

[Semper Fidelis]

Wow that was auburns worst game since they played us last year. Anyway hopefully we can make it back with these plays:


Washington St -11.5
3u


Florida PK

Georgia 2nd half -2 (+110)
UNLV ML -490
Stanford -13.5
Oklahoma st ML
Arizona st ML
2u to win 13.4u


Good luck, I will update my record before the end of the weekend.

[Semper Fidelis]

Ok guys, I've finally found the time to clean up my spread and show my correct record. Not too thrilled about the start so far, but I'm up a good amount, and we are still in the beginning of the season. It will get better, and the money flow will come a little easier.

Overall: 15-14 (51.7%) +5.3 units
Spread/ML: 15-11 (57.7%) +10.3 units
Parlay/Teaser: 0-3 (0 %) -5 units


A bit unlucky with the parlays, only missing one on most of them. That's the nature of them anyway, until you start hitting them. Anyway, here are my plays for tonight:

Washington St -7
3u

Wazzou/UNLV O54
2u

Wazzou did much better last week, a bit unlucky not to cover as they were up 6 on the 1 yd line about to score when they fumbled. We have to remember the offensive mastermind that is Mike Leach, and I expect to see his team start executing more and more as the season progresses and the players start to gel a little more together. Good luck to all!

[Jeggert15]

When do you think you will be posting tomorrow picks? Is there a way I could get an alert once you post? Sorry I am new to forum.

[Semper Fidelis]

Dont worry buddy, I'll post before the night is over with. Just watching my braves play now. I believe you can set up in your settings where you get an email whenever someone makes a post in this thread, or whenever I make a new post. Welcome to the forum man! If you have any questions or comments feel free to share. We have a good group here, a lot of guys that help each other out.

[alabasterf]

Looking forward to your Ncaaf picks for tomorrow.

[Semper Fidelis]

Alright, feeling good after watching my braves knock out the nationals tonight. Only 7.5 games behind now, we can catch them! Tonight's game looking real good so far, about to cash the over, just hope wazzou doesnt allow a backdoor cover. For tomorrow, there are so many good games to pick from. This first list contains the ones that initially opened my eyes, games that I feel pretty confident in. This is just the first one, I'll probably update again in the morning, and definitely throughout the day.


Northern Illinois -3.5
3u


Virginia tech -10

Alabama -20

And of course a (maybe not so) crazy parlay:

Northern Illinois ML
Virginia tech ML
Tennessee ML
Michigan state -5.5
Kentucky ML
1u to win 8u



That's it for now, will in all likelihood add some more later.

[alabasterf]

Great looking picks. I like the Miss. State pick and may add that.

[Semper Fidelis]

Cash both plays from tonight.

Washington state -7
3u

Wazzou/UNLV O54
2u



Also adding a play for tomorrow:

Northwestern ML -165
3u

[Semper Fidelis]

Found some more plays that I like. Almost pulled the trigger on them last night, but wanted to sleep on it to be sure, and now feel even better about them:


Ball state +2.5
3u


Ball state ML +120
2u


Auburn -15
3u

[Semper Fidelis]

Adding one more for now. This is at least semi complete, have a few leans with some others, but not strong enough yet to make official plays.


Louisville -3
3u


Louisville ML -160
3u



Good luck with whichever plays you decide to tail! Let's make some money today!

[Semper Fidelis]

Just wanted to come on and update my plays real quick. Figured it'd be much easier for everyone to see them if they are all listed here together. Looking pretty good so far, except VA Tech--you can't win games with 4 turnovers in one half. I'm really hoping they'll have a big second half and at least come back to win; I'm not expecting them to come close to covering the spread now, but if they can win at least my parlay will stay alive. I fully expect Auburn to turn it up in the second half, especially after that amazing hail mary touchdown pass from Frazier to end the half--if you didn't see that amazing play you will probably have a chance to on Sportscenter later tonight; it was pretty amazing! Here's my updated list:


Washington state -7
3u

Wazzou/UNLV O54
2u

Northern Illinois -3.5

Virginia tech -10

Check back later, as I may have more plays posted!

[Semper Fidelis]

Of course overrated VA Tech ruins the parlay. And I don't know what happened with Norther Illinois, how do you let a team like Army stay around for so long? They should've won by at least 6 points. Oh well, not going to complain too much, still a winning day so far. I'm adding a few more plays now for this evening as well as another parlay to try and make up for the other one. I added another parlay already, but I didn't post it on here because no one would've had time to put it in. Watch the one I didn't post actually win too! I would suggest just sticking to my picks and not worrying about the parlays--I'd be up much more if you don't count the parlays.


Bowling Green +3

Bowling Green ML +130

Another Parlay Attempt:

That's it for now guys. Like I said, maybe just stick to the picks and not worry about the parlays, as I've been pretty cold with them. Although this one seems like a for sure winner and is the one I feel most confident of all I've posted so far, if you do decide to put some change on it I recommend small, or just play the teaser, as it still has a pretty decent payout. Good luck if you decide to tail, and keep a lookout for the possibility of more plays tonight!

[GoBlue77]

wow you have no idea how to use a teaser to your advantage

[Semper Fidelis]

wow you have no idea how to use a teaser to your advantage

What do you mean by that? If you're referring to the typos, I corrected them. I admit I usually play parlays much more often than teasers, but what is really wrong with this one?

[Jeggert15]

Thanks for the late louisville tip. I wasn't sure who to add to my bama/Michigan parlay n Louisville held on to be the perfect fit.

[Jeggert15]

No picks this week?
