        Thank you for a nice welcome, BB! I joined the SBR recently, but have been visiting and reading some threads over the years. I am really glad that someone actually provides a CFL thread, and you´re doing a great job here . I just love CFL, as there are not many teams in the league and it seems very intimate to me. Being rough and familiar in the same time, this league resembles Canada itself in a way, it is very close to my heart. Gee, sorry for being pathetic GL on whatever you play (have to find out on the previous page)!

          Oh, what a shame it did not stay under in the last 2 minutes. Nice hit with the Edm, though I only had Sask + 10.5 live, with the way it was going did not dare to buy + 15.5 (17.5 or even 19.5) later on, should have. Well, still in green this week in CFL. See you next week (don´t know exactly when the playoffs start, I guess it should be in two weeks). I might visit your NHL thread, BB, but I noticed it is kinda dead. Do you bet NHL on regular basis?

            I was at the game Dharm... I literally snapped after that late TD put it over considering It literally took the Pick 6 AND the garbage TD to put it over... I subtly, not so subtly kicked a garbage can up in the terrace area... No one could understand why the degenerate in the corner with the Eskimo Jersey just got angry... Only the Under Betters did!!! Whereever they were...

            Ended up with a winning day... But had this Edmonton Play, and put another unit on the under when I found out Zebransky was in just before game time....as well as the Northwestern Play vs Mich St. that screwed me large (review it on your own if you don't know... But I had NW +4.5, up 6 with the ball with just over 2 min left and lost)... Alas... no need to dwell... we get some of those and lose some of those...

            Look forward to next week anyhow...

              You were at that game?! Hey, even though the loss must have been more painful because of that, I still have to say: lucky you! Lucky you for being able to attend the game and feel the atmosphere there!
              Alright, hopefully see you next week, gl with your bets!

                Updated Scorecard:

                Mon @ Ham = -5.5 Units (4 Units FT + 1.5 Units 2nd Half)
                BC @ Cal = -8 Units
                Tor @ Win = +2.9 Units
                Sask @ Edm = +0.8 Units

                Net Week 17 = -9.8 Units

                Overall Week 6-17 Total = +2.15 Units

                Unfortunately I tilted on the second halfs of Both the Friday Games, and just those alone cost me 5 units...

                The Eskimo game's late Pick 6 etc cost another 2 units... But I did get the Esks... and thankfully, the one thing I got right in this mess was Toronto ML... I personally had put another couple of units late to save a horrible week from just being a bad week...

                I need to stop tilting... take my lumps and reduce losses... One more lesson in the great big lessons of life...

                Onward to next week where the guessing games really begin with 2 weeks left....

                  Boys and girls... already on 5 Units on the Eskimo game at -6.5 ...

                  No dancing locks... No play of the century... Just a Good old fashion, hopefully solid pick...

                  Edm QB Zebransky in which is pulling DOWN the line, who just came off of beating Saskatchewan and we know is a VERY good QB... Moreso the fact that Winnipeg is down to their 4th String QB.. playing in Edmonton... Where if they win they clinch... Winnipeg is completely out of the playoffs, and not playing for anything but pride, which is always dangerous... If Gyles is in, I never make this play this strong... But without him, I've seen what Winnipeg can do with Brink... and that is not much...Now they are going down to Elliot out of Purdue... Not saying that Joey Elliott can't play the game of his life.. But his first start in Edmonton... What can I say...

                  Hope for the best...

                  5 Units Edmonton -6.5

                    Edmonton is already being attacked on Pinny as it's up to -7.5... Intertops still has it at -6.5 ... 7 isn't the number it is in the CFL, but it's still obviously a wiser move to grab it as low as possible... the fact that it's crossed over the line already says to me it will likely get to 8, even 9 in the end...

                              In these nothing type games, Its really hard to commit to a side... Leaning sort of Montreal to bounce back off of some sloppy starts... Particularly last week when Mon QB A. Cavillo goes back to back 1st and Goals, and ends up with MINUS 7 points... Clearly that will likely NEVER happen again... despite the score, the Als WANTED to win that game, and moved the ball well .. Calvillo in essentially 35 minutes was 18 of 26 for 258 yards passing...More then what some QB's get in a full game in the CFL...

                              But the lean isn't so much the Als, which they are publicly proclaiming that they are going to start their starters, and play to win, because they are really playing poorly... They lean is this Rock Bottom Total of 48 ... WOW... FOURTY EIGHT... clearly that comes from the Toronto end where their last 6 have been under that number... 8 of 9 as well ...

                              I'm will put a good bet on this Over because I believe after last week, that it's no so much "Toronto will put it all together"... as much as... Both of them want to get back into form ... I believe this is the type of no pressure type game that will allow both offenses to just play football... and the luxury of this bet is the fact that I believe this score will be in the 50's... Yet they are giving us a number in the 40's...

                              Adding to it all Mon WR Watkins is back, as is Kicker Duval... and Even if things get dicey for Montreal at QB... I have full faith in his Backup MacPherson to come in and lead... although I think I will attempt to make a bit of a diversification play for the first half...

                              No play on the Spread... Just...
                              1.5 Units Over 1H 24.5
                              3 Units Over 48

                                That Edmonton Number is now at 8.5 in most places... I'm still liking it, but we are crossing all sorts of rough numbers now... we've crossed the 7, the 8, and maybe even the 9...

                                Still think Esks win by 10+ but... the longer you wait, the worse this game will get...

                                              Our "Spunky Young Capper" has had all his threads closed (Which is the terminology I will use since I got a penalty stroke from Big Willie Bee awarded for laying into him for 4 days straight) ... Claimed to be a mathematical genius who could hit 70% ATS... Anyhow I'm not starting up again....

                                              I'm done with him and the buffer of entertainment that he provided between the Monday Night game and this coming weekend of Football (CFL), Football (NCAA), and More Football (NFL) ... with some NBA, MLB, and NHL sprinkled in...

                                              WOW I love October...

                                              BOL this weekend to us all...

                                                Guys if you're going to Grab the Eskimo Game at ANY point... I would start grabbing it now cuz it's getting scarier... I've now almost 7 Units on the play but at 6.5 and 7... But it's climbing, and now it's gone from -6.5 to -8.5 (-115) and already 9 in some places... I'm just saying this is now territory for backdoor covers and the rest of it... We know how The Giants Second Half, Northwestern, and The Eskimo Under went last weekend .... Despite ALL reasons for things NOT to happen.. They Just happen... so get the best price you can... Hopefully the Esks can dominate this game and win by 21 and make everyone happy, but we know how that goes...

                                                Also noticed Win QB Elliot is noted as completing 8-16 passes... What decieving was that most of those completions were with Toronto already up 3 TD's and in the last couple of drives... All mostly Dink and Dunks... I'm telling you this game has possibilities of getting ugly sooner than later...

                                                With that I will give you my opinion later on the "fix" of the Roughriders in BC...

                                                  Hello! I can´t really read any of today´s matches. I would parlay Montreal and Calgary ML, but these are two dumb moves at once. Firstly I almost don´t do parlays, secondly parlaying two square plays could just burn me as it happened many time before. I will just tail BB on the totals of game one, and decide later what with the second game. Hamilton plays Calgary tough, their last two games were as close as they could (1 point I believe). I kinda like Hamilton ML, but probably will wait for the game and bet it live. Now I talked myself into it. Montreal - 4.5, 2 units. God, I hate missing home dogs at + money, but just can´t help myself. I am innerly forced to take favs last two weeks. BOL to all!

                                                    i think there will be a lot of turnovers in that game edmonton and winnipeg will both be using the running game as wpg would be crazy to let their #4 starting Qb air it out and also daniel porter has been a very good weapon for the esks since the injury to whitlock esks should win by at least 10

                                                      Its similar to that Seahawks/Raiders game... Stack the run and bring the house on all passing downs .. Then we'll see what you're made of....

                                                                      But in My opinion... Is these were not DOMINANT performances.. These were just the good fortune of some positive momentum... This is NOT saying Hamilton is a BAD team... But they are NOT #1 in the TSN power rankings over Calgary and Montreal.. comon... LB Baggs is however, da, shiznit... and he is a player.. But again, some VERY good fortune from the Defense as a whole... When do you think the next time Mon QB A. Cavillo will end up MINUS 7 points with 2 back to back possessions 1st and goal....

                                                                      Ok enough trashing of the Overrated Tiger Cats... The bottom line is Calgary is shaking right now... They can't do ANYTHING right... Last week, they basically BEAT UP BC, (but for the 21 point edge to start)... They are VERY vulnerable deep as well... Clearly something that needs to be patched up...

                                                                      Unlike the Toronto/Montreal game though, I also believe this is a game that the DEFENSE needs to be worked on... Patching up the deep ball particularly for the Stamps... This game has alot more likelyhood of an under then an over...

                                                                      I will thus go...
