Yeah, I agree. I just hope I hit my 4 team/13 point teaser hits. Right now it's looking really good.

As tempting as it is to "GO ROAG" today I'm going to resist the temptation. I've worked too hard to get to this point, even if I end up around 3K after tomorrow night I'll be satisfied knowing I have the NBA coming up with a decent roll to build on.

For anyone who has the Eagles ML I am rooting for them to pull it out. I just couldn't pull the trigger today on a ROAG bet, something was telling me the books were going to f*ck a lot of people this weekend.

C'mon Eagles! (I still need them to win for my 7 team parlay that is alive)

**RoagBettor** · 10-18-09, 05:57 PM

5 Team "Just to Have Some Action Tonight" Combo Parlay

Dodgers ML
Bears +6 (bought 2)
Suns -1 (bought 2)
Jazz -2.5 (bought 2)
Lakers -4.5 (bought 2)

$10 to win $188.30

**RoagBettor** · 10-18-09, 06:14 PM

The Eagles lost to the Raiders. I said it all weekend, there was bad Karma. Purdue and Oakland made the books a fortune.

Crap weekend. On the bright side, Monday is the first day of the week here in Sweden, so let's get the week started right tomorrow!

**RoagBettor** · 10-18-09, 07:28 PM

I lost money this weekend and I'm happy. I almost hit the Confirm button so many times for that ML parlay with the Eagles and Jets, and I just didn't do it.

Atlanta Falcons 2H PK (-115) - tailing pimike

$90 to win $78.26

**Ace_of_Spades** · 10-18-09, 09:09 PM

Here's a good strategy, roll over 50 bucks on Wolfsburg games going over 2.5 every game. They played 10 in a row last season, and something like 36 from 38 games went over.

**ztballer** · 10-18-09, 09:45 PM

I lost 8units in preseason NBA, so I decided to lower my unit from 100 to 10.

I made my first parlays last night and hit KC +6, NE -9 and Texas +5.5. I wish I had kept to the 100$ unit size. Also lay $10 on NE-9, KC +6, Texas +5.5, NO -3 and Pitts -14

I swear there must be gambling gods out there because when I play small, I win. When I play big, I get f*cked over.

Any value in the Lakers-Clippers game?

I should've bet Phillies MLB. 8-0

Gambling is a marathon, not a race. There is plenty of sport to bet on, keep it small.

Even the great pimike is not immune to this weekend debacle.

Push! I'll take it!

After an incredible week of bad beats and big upsets on the weekend, the current account balance is $3,590.00 and I'm very very satisfied.

you're right mate

I'm up $276, still down a little over $500 but I'd take a small win over a small loss anyday.

Wow lol lost on +10.5 Dodgers in live betting but broke even for late night bets with -3.5 Falcons

First time betting NFL, been tailing a lot of you guys in the thread

**williams22** · 10-18-09, 10:59 PM

Hey Roag,
Any tips on getting a bankroll from the $100-300 range up to the $700-1000 range? I took a big hit the last week between a few big NHL, NCAAF, and Jets losses and I'm trying to figure out how to get my bankroll back up. Seems like the responsible thing to do would be to use a $10 unit and bet 1-4 units per game, but even I win 2 for each loss it will take quite some time to get back in the 1k range. Any money management advice would be helpful, thanks.

**RoagBettor** · 10-18-09, 11:02 PM

Wait for NBA season to start. We'll hit some decent teasers and parlays.

I also see a real nice NFL teaser for Sunday, but need to check injury reports. If things work out I may "GO ROAG" on it.

Money management wise, do you think it's best to play parlays a this point or stick with straight picks and chip away at it? I can't wait for NBA, that's for sure. Will help me stay away from some of my dumber plays in other sports just to have action.

**RoagBettor** · 10-18-09, 11:08 PM

Yeah, definitely forget parlays right now until you get up close to 1K.

I'd play a 3 Team/10 Point teaser with NFL, CFB or a combo, there are some great games this weekend to choose from. Does your book offer the 3/10 teaser for football?

Yeah, 3 for 3 pays -115. I use 5Dimes.

**RoagBettor** · 10-18-09, 11:14 PM

Here is one 3/10 Teaser I think is a great play.

In fact, I booked it.

Colts -3
Pats -4
S. Carolina -1.5

$360 to win $300

**Ace_of_Spades** · 10-18-09, 11:16 PM

I'm not familiar with any other teasers than the 13 point teasers. I dodged a bullet earlier with the Titans in a teaser. I really thought an upset was on the cards in that match until they lost 59 - 0. Won't trust the Titans anymore. I tell ya this, Michigan State will be on the cards this weekend in CFB.

**RoagBettor** · 10-19-09, 12:38 PM

Is there anything worse than betting soccer games to go over and listening for the "applause" sound on FlashScore and not hearing it?

Ugh!

**tbill11** · 10-19-09, 12:40 PM

Absolutely not. That's the most demoralizing feeling there is.

However, I definitely don't want to hear that sound during my Fulham game this afternoon. Under under under!

**RoagBettor** · 10-19-09, 01:16 PM

I'm just in a slump, can't pick a straight bet winner to save my life right now even when I'm tailing the best of the best. Thank God I'm betting small these last few days, I'd be completely wiped out.

**Abrcrom12** · 10-19-09, 02:38 PM

Books are beeeeeeegging for public to take Denver tonight.....

**RoagBettor** · 10-19-09, 02:54 PM

Yep. If I don't bet San Diego they'll win easily

**alias69** · 10-19-09, 02:57 PM

Hang in there mate, it will turn around.

Then don't take them and I will!!

**paul8888** · 10-19-09, 03:19 PM

how can you tell books want you to take denver? just curious

**RoagBettor** · 10-19-09, 03:29 PM

Well, the line is 3.5 at most books. That tells me that the books think that the public thinks the Chargers can't win by more than 3, so the 3.5 is a huge enticement to bet Denver.

On top of that, at the books where the line is 3, Denver is +3 at plus money. So the public are thinking "Great, I can get Denver +3 at +130 instead of -110, I'm jumping all over that. At worst I'll get a push".

If Denver was that good, they'd be favored or the line would be under -3.
