One shot !Just tell him play Michigan st.(+5) + UNDER Michigan st./Indiana for 500.Then the total would be more than 1000.NO GUTS NO GLORY !!!!

rta21 · 01-07-07, 01:14 AM

yea i think im going to make him do it 1 way or another, and no imput at all imgv?????????

imgv94 · 01-07-07, 01:24 AM

Does he have to get to $1000 quick? How long is he willing to wait?

rta21 · 01-07-07, 01:27 AM

2 weekends from now, he's going to bilioxi and wants 2 take a grand out there, but he started will 50 last week and has made 500 so i dont know what the rush is but u know how people get

imgv94 · 01-07-07, 01:29 AM

How about depositing the $545 at another book and getting a bonus?

Well some have more than others.. Bodog has a 10% and 3x rollover..

If your boy was going to do this he would deposit $545 and get $54.50 bonus to make his account just about $600 and he would have to wager abt $1800 before being able to withdraw.

Well guess that isn't worth the $54.50 is it?

Well your friend needs to learn this isn't a get rich quick type of business.

lol i know thats right you know how people get when they win a little they think they cant lose

Razz · 01-07-07, 01:58 AM

I wouldn't tease the Giants with anything. They have no heart, and if they get down early, they could get beat by 24.

Razz · 01-07-07, 02:00 AM

By the way, I love your signature.

rta21 · 01-07-07, 02:02 AM

classic signature huh..lol thanks that movie is a trip and it reminds me of betting on sports (that Comment)

bigboydan · 01-07-07, 02:13 AM

Well, If your dead set on a teaser then I'd be teasing the Eagles down for sure. Thats something every sharp out there would have to agree with me on even though were all disagree on this game it seems like.

Now looking at NY/NE, I would probably tease them down as well due to the value factor alone in that game.

I agree with the person who said be careful on the Giants +14 portion of the teaser, I'd prefer your first option of teasing down both Philly and NE if it was my money. No set rules and people play them differently but for me I prefer to tease NFL home teams and use the points to go thoroughly through 3 and 7. For instance +1.5 to +7.5, -8.5 to -2.5. You stick to these rules you will do well with them. I got a big one on Indy and Philly that is halfway done, need the Eagles today. Good luck.

thanks fellas for all the input

VegasDave · 01-07-07, 05:50 AM

Remember also that ne -2 may be very likely and it may be a relatively safe bet, but the Jets winning wouldn't be the craziest thing to ever happen in sports... and it would turn $545 into $0

Gamble your heart out but don't take anything as a given, or it might come back to haunt you!

imgv94 · 01-07-07, 06:04 AM

usc great advice sir..

Btw I just did some extra studying of this game and believe the best option is the Jets +17..

Believe people are underestimating the Jets..

I know for the fact that PHILLY will not cover the point spreads in this match up

nosuzieno · 01-07-07, 08:14 AM

if he wins

That's always the rub, eh?

rta21 · 01-07-07, 09:51 AM

yea and that is a big if

AC1318 · 01-07-07, 09:59 AM

tell your friend to place the 545 on under san antonio memphis 211
then he can cut me a check for 10%

rta21 · 01-07-07, 10:00 AM

Lol 10% Huh, I Know I'll Be Playing It Now After U Hit The Nets Last Night

AC1318 · 01-07-07, 10:06 AM

I think the best for your friend to do is stick with straight bets

Peyton2MarvinN06 · 01-07-07, 11:23 AM

RTA, I believe the best way for your friend to go is to make a LARGE wager on a teaser with the Jets +16 or +17(whatever book he is on) and then tease the Eagles down to just win the game... I think the Jets will keep this game close today... Their defense is solid enough that even if their offense isn't clicking to not get blown out... I think the Eagles are gonna fvcking roll the Giants over today... Barber will not be able to run on their D IMO... Have him bet like $350 or $400 on something he really has confidence in... This way he will still profit pretty decently and IF he were to lose he would still have somethin to fall back on... I wouldn't want to be puttin all my eggs in one basket, especially after seeing what TONY HOMO did last night...

rta21 · 01-07-07, 11:30 AM

thanks peyton, and i agree with both ur picks

Casperwaits · 01-07-07, 11:32 AM

Teasers have a propensity to look GREAT on paper, but in this NFL season, teasers like the ones you are mentioning are dangerous.

tennis_balls · 01-07-07, 11:47 AM

if he has gone from $50 to $500 in a week, tell him to shut-up and give you his picks.

rta21 · 01-07-07, 11:50 AM

LoL i know right, i have never seen some1 as lucky as him. he hits parlay's and teasers at a ridiculous rate and i keep telling him it wont last but then he goes 4-0 on a $20 parly. crazy huh

imgv94 · 01-07-07, 08:07 PM
