How kind of you.

TY. Vikings worth a look as well at +3300. I can't hit them thou because I put the max $550 on the Giants and they only allow that per event which kinda sucks. I shoulda did $275 each but oh well. Vikes have a soft remaining schedule and should grab the 6th spot with Adrian Peterson running the show.

Just got it off Intertops, a steal if you ask me. I see they're +1050 at the greek, +1200 on bodog, +1500 at diamond and +1566 at wsex. This team is already in the playoffs as far as i'm concerned with them sittin pretty at 8-4 with a few weak opponents on deck plus they have a 2 game lead over the other teams for the 5th spot. They should win at least 2 more games if not 3. Seattle or Tampa Bay is who they will likely be facing in the first round and I think they have a pretty good shot at beating them. This is a great bet where you can hedge later down the line. Just thought I'd help you guys out.

is this 2 go to the super bowl?

You know the house has a HUGE edge on futures, so I would be careful even if they are offering more than the others. I'm not saying it isn't a good bet, but the fact they offer better odds than these other books isn't enough, without a detailed comparison to their competition Dallas, Greenbay, etc. etc.

FO Odds to win NFC Championship:

Dallas: 51.0%
GB: 24.9%
TB: 10.1%
Sea: 7.4%
Min: 3.3%
NYG: 2.1%

Keep in mind the Giants will have to win 3 straight road games, and are probably the worst of the 6 likely to get in.

tblues2005 · 12-05-07, 11:31 AM

I think Arizona has the better schedule to get in than Minnesota does. Detroit has a really tough schedule and it may be difficult for them to make it.

eli manning = no shot

Not a chance. Minnesota will be favored in all of their games (@Denver will be close), while Arizona is a TD underdog this week, and will probably be a dog next week AT New Orleans. Minnesota's schedule is easier.

1 down, 2 to go. Actually playing on the road is an advantage for the Giants since they won every road game this year except 1. I guess they hate playing at home. I put a nickel on TB -3 +110 on sunday and of course lost. I actually think the Giants have a good chance of beating Dallas this week. Possibly no T.O. is good news so the Giants +8 is a good play to me. Eli's been looking like Peyton last few games so thats encouraging.

Once again, your just pissed the Giants proved you wrong and defeated Tampa. Look for them to knock the Cowboys out next week!!!

This will be hard, but not impossible: Steelers 2005.

Man I lost a lot of money that year betting against the Steelers every game. Thanks for reminding me.

pavyracer · 01-08-08, 03:39 PM

It is only a steal if they win, otherwise is piss money.

Good Luck! I'm rooting for you.

regularguy · 01-08-08, 03:52 PM

I don't bet a lot of futures myself. But I'll say this. With their defensive line, you never know what the Giants might be able to pull off. If you hurry Romo and Favre, they might start looking very mortal.

Good luck.

swifty · 01-08-08, 04:30 PM

Good luck hope you win.....

Nice play here Treece! I won't be a bit surprised if the Giants knock off the Cowboys on Sunday afternoon! If Manning controls the game like he did last week and Jacobs can run the ball effectively then I definitely think that they have a chance of winning... Hope you win this one! I would love to see a Manning vs. Manning Super Bowl 42! Peyton will be playin in Arizona on February 3rd, I hope Eli will be as well!

Louisvillekid1 · 01-08-08, 06:56 PM

GL, it's defintley a gamble they have to go through Texas Stadium and then Lambeau. . .

treece · 01-08-08, 11:53 PM

Thanks guys for the support. I really feel the Giants can beat the Cowboys in Dallas. Dallas beat them twice this year so you know the Giants are out for some revenge. Hopefully Jessica will be at the game so she can jinx the Cowboys again.

SBR Lou · 01-09-08, 03:52 AM

I remember this thread. Good to see you still alive on this bet, but I must be honest, I have a vested interest in you not getting past Dallas. All the best anyway.

jeffries · 01-09-08, 03:54 AM

The person who created this thread............you are genius. NY Giants will command themselves all the way to the Superbowl. Dallas isn't taking 3 straight game's from us. Thats a HELLLL NOOO! Dallas isn't getting by so easy,. in fact they aren't getting by at all..

NY GIANTS F0 LYFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

treece · 01-13-08, 09:53 PM

Well the Giants made it to the NFC Championship game. I can't even believe it. If they win next week I'll get 11 dimes. Thats alot of money. I think the best thing to do is hedge alittle. Cause if they lose I get shit

I would definitely hedge, but congrats on grabbing that when you did.

tblues2005 · 01-14-08, 09:19 AM

I got the Giants last week at 25-1 to win the super bowl and 8-1 to win the conference, so I am pulling for them this week also.

curious · 01-14-08, 09:22 AM

So, you won $2 million?

You bet a dime at +2000, my gawd that is $2 million dollars!!

Definitely hedge. Winning at Dallas is one thing, winning at Lambeau is another.

No I only bet $550. I get 11 grand if they win at Green Bay on sunday. Got a feeling the NFL wants Green Bay to win so they can have a super bowl rematch with the Patriots. Look out for some bs calls by the refs on the Giants.

B1GER1C828 · 01-14-08, 10:44 PM

if u win..im expecting a little sumtin in my paypal account for ur cheering section.

Hey treece, have you ever thought of hedging this bet? I know it's tough because Packers are -7 but maybe if you do a teaser you can get your original bet money back in case the Giants don't win.

I'm definetly going to hedge. It'd be dumb not to since there's alot of money involved here. Teaser is a great idea since the moneyline is high at -320. I need to find a good game to tease with Green Bay. I got a few days to look for that game. Maybe I should bet 2 or 3K on the teaser so if the Pack win, and I think they will, I won't be that disappointed.

stingyrivers · 01-15-08, 05:23 AM

dude if you are gonna hedge this with a teaser.... make sure the other team is a certain lock with the tease points.... it would be a nightmare to lose both bets..... ie greenbay wins and the other team in tease dont cover

stingyrivers · 01-15-08, 05:26 AM

maybe parlay green bay and new england on ML or something.... either way goodluck bro

LT Profits · 01-15-08, 05:44 AM

I think it would be CRAZY to hegde with some sort of combination bet! Just bet the Packers ML. You get 20-1 if Giants win, so there is nothing wrong with a hedge at 3.20-1. Would cost less than 2 dimes to win back original wager, so you would have FREE shot at over 9 dimes. Or, if you have the bankroll to do it, you could guarantee some profit.

treece · 01-15-08, 12:24 PM

I just did a 2 team, 6.5 pt, 4.5pt teaser for a nickel with Green Bay -.5 and the Golden State Warriors -3. I think I should do a couple of these so I don't have all my eggs in one basket. Just gotta pick my spots. Pretty confident the Warriors get it done tonight.
