Betterbizness' 2014 CFL Thoughts

[BetterBizness]

Wow what a misstep... Esks Are terrible

[TwoWays]

Game should have been under at the least. Refs screwed us on the total play.

[DrSize]

Brutal. I need to stop betting on eskies games

[Dharmonize]

WTF??!! Spread wrong, Argos ml wrong, total wrong... the only right thing for Esks fans is that now they are 5-0. I myself will only find comfort in winning the last game.

[JR007]

sent you an e-mail dude

[bigsmitty]

Wow DHarm that was a fair beat-down for me yesterday as well. Was doing well with CFL up to yesterday-shocked with MON, thought they could at least cover. That's a tough TOR ml loss. Time to buckle down for me-good luck today if you're on the game.

[memo99]

i like the Riders (0-2) at home to beat the Stamps (2-0) away both stats need to even themselves out

Yeah, pretty shitty day, what can you do? Today I´m liking Calgary, but don´t like the odds We´ll see, waiting for what BB comes up with to decide. GL to you too!

Last week the Rider showed they can score at least into the 20’s… Calgary had a good second half, but ran into a stubborn Edmonton Defense which in the end continues to play incredible through week 5. I think this is one of those points where the pacing of 2 similar style teams from last year continue, all the while continuing the trend of the last 3 Regular season games where no game was less than 60 points.

These 2 get up for each other, especially after the fact that the Riders have got to the Grey Cup via Calgary the past 2 seasons. I believe it’s to early to call this a “revenge” game, but you know Calgary, the way they are playing, are looking to get inspired in any way possible.

Riders are coming off a huge win in Montreal, but clearly a “jaded” win after QB Calvillo went down… I’m leaning hard on both the Stamps Winning outright, and scoring a lot of points…

5x Cal/Sask Over 54.5
2x Parlay Cal -2+Cal/Sask Over 54.5

[BetterBizness]

tough one last night guys... It's like everything that could have gone wrong did... Really I had no problems betting the Esks would win by 5 in the second half, but the FN Shitty Punt that got returned that had no reason to not be returned...it happens... we move on... Calgary tonight.. OVER Big!

[tension]

My stupid ass took 2u on Toronto with 3mins left in the game and they were leading by 6, didn't think the Esk's would score and they did just to screw me!

[Dharmonize]

I was thinking about putting between 5-10 u on Calgary ml, therefore I checked the stats over once again... and it somehow came to me that despite my initial heavy lean on the Stampeders, it is way too risky to make it a big play. Sask were terrible before rolling over Montreal last week. Now they can be fired up... that worries me a lot. I wanted a big play, and now I don´t like either the ml nor the over enough to go heavy on it ...just thinking aloud... But I guess the over is a safer bet.

[Dharmonize]

Actually, what book allows you to parlay a side with a total?

[DrSize]

Sports Interaction allows you to parlay same game Not my fav book but a ton of squares there so I get the odd fav line. My main acct is Pinnacle and also have acct at 5 dimes and the Greek. Took the over tonight so I shopped and got it at 54

[Scully]

Heck lots of sportsbooks allow you to wager on both the side and total together; not to mention one of the more popular books 5Dimes.

In the Regular season, rarely don't the 2 teams hit 40... not saying much, but at worst I believe we'll be "close"... stupid reason for a bet, but I believe that's the worst case scenario... best case scenario, is we have 45 by half time...

[xraygord]

Best of luck to everyone tonight.

[Dharmonize]

I mostly make only straight wagers at Pinny and the likes, so I have never really tried parlays there. But most European books don´t allow this, not a chance, that´s why I was asking. Thanks for reactions! GL tonight, everyone!

[tension]

Sportingbet in Australia usually have a market called Line & Total Double which does the parlay for you

Come on Calgary more points!

[bigsmitty]

On CGY -2.5 myself. Both teams are somewhat suspect but I feel that SSK's win over MON was a blip on the radar and they were up for that game. Like the spread so we'll see. Good luck all.

[Sniperpicks]

got the game OVER 54.5 and 2nd half over 27

lets get 5 more MAJORS !

[Scully]

Yeah will take 5 majors or 4 and a pair of FG's which is another possession.

[Dharmonize]

C´mon, lousy 21 points? Could´ve been even worse, though...

[Sniperpicks]

19 to 15

we need 3 td with xp to get to 55

lots of time left

[Sniperpicks]

18 or more pts needed in Q 4

[Dharmonize]

Riders still holding on... don´t like this at all... but at least it´s good for the over.

[tension]

Overs are dead Bloody hell calgary

[Dharmonize]

Yeah, this mutha ain´t going over... the first q killed it. What a bloody weekend...

[Sniperpicks]

3 pts in the 4th

christ

[BetterBizness]

Went out last night and watched the game on PVR... I've never seen such pathetic offenses... I wish I could have seen that they'd they both just play so dam pathetic...

Ultimately it was a Horrendous 3 point first Q, and a measely 6 in the end...

I'm still trying to understand looking at the game how Calgary could get 395 yards offensively and yet only find 22 points? How is that even possible?

I thought we were rolling after that first TD in the second half by Dressler...

Oh well.. shake it off... hopefully we bounce back next week.... Looking forward to Edmonton @ Winnipeg...

[Dharmonize]

Sure thing, no worries! We´re gonna tread a path of victory next weekend

Tension.. How about you stop betting Calgary, and I'll stop betting Toronto... clearly not in our best interests as those teams absolutely crush us...
