5x Cal PK

[Coach Potato]

good luck. hows the season been treating you so far?

[Scully]

Yeah this one doesn't look good at all and the Stampeders look as though they're the team that will be missing the postseason.

[BetterBizness]

Edmonton @ Saskatchewan -4.5 OU 51.5

3x Esks +4.5
2x Edm/Sas Under

Making 2H play

3x Ham/Mon Over 23.5

BC @ Sask -4 OU 51.5

10x BC/Sask Under 51.5

[Scully]

That cluster of late second quarter scoring will turn out to be the downfall for the 'under' play in this western conference semi-final game.

Hamilton @ Toronto -4.5 OU 54.5

5x Ham +4.5
2x Ham/Tor Over 54.5

Final play of the Year..

Tabby's win the Coup De Grey.. Look out for the 13th man - on the field of play...

12x Ham ML +270


GL and Good Night...

[Scully]

Interesting as I wouldn't have guessed you would be on the Ti-Cats ml BB. Any specific reason(s) for your choice in the Grey Cup today? Bol as well.

[Scully]

BB I suppose the current score in the second quarter is an indication as to why I didn't get a response to my question above. The Rough Riders are in the process of laying an old-fashioned beating on Hamilton, leading 17-3 with about six minutes left in the opening half. I don't think you had a legitimate reason for playing Hamilton on the money line at all but rather threw a guess up there in hopes of coming out smelling like a rose (as the saying goes). There is simply no comparison between the two qb's in this matchup as Durant is by far and away the better pivot in every sense of the word. The receiving corps is one-sided in favor of the Riders as well. Running back---once again no contest. Heck I would have questioned playing the Tabbies against the number itself but the money line? C'mon. There's not a snowball's chance in hell for that ridiculous wager to come in for you. If you're lucky, maybe the halftime number will allow you to bail out of this terrible play on your part somewhat. In conclusion BB, not a very smart move to close out this year's CFL campaign. Then again, your 12x wager could very well be equivalent to $12.

[BetterBizness]

and we begin again...

[BetterBizness]

We almost had a strike that just about no one cared about... at least its kinda warm this summer... Hope everyone is doing well

[BetterBizness]

lets start with the opener of TO -7 in Bomberland - can the Bombers be as bad as they were last year.. of course they can. But The line tells me everything I need to know in a CFL game... 7 is a number that means little and people expect the Bombers to look awful, and probably will, but early on - before they are 2-8, their Defense should keep them around...

5x Winnipeg +7
3x Win/Tor Under 55.5

[Coach Potato]

howd u do last season

I was on Bombers also. Nice to see you back again Biz.

[BetterBizness]

Under sucked.. like anyone thought the Bombers were scoring in the mid 40's..

[BetterBizness]

Montreal @ Calgary -7.5 OU 54

For the opposite reasons of the opener, I believe the books are going after the people who think 7 is a handle to encourage Al's money... That and the Al's post Calvillo will take a lot of adjustment to start building a rep..

I think the Als will barely get to .500 this year personally..

I think Calgary blows them out at home...

4x Calgary -7.5
3x Cal/Mon Under 54

[BetterBizness]

Edmonton @ BC -7.5 OU 52

This number is riding anywhere from 7 to 8 depending on where you look. I personally think the Esks will play a tight one here, but I'm more interested in the over. The lowest number on the weekend, and another year under Mike Reilly. I def like a shootout here and won't play much on the Esks.

1x Edmonton +7.5
3x Edm/BC Over 52

I am liking Calgary here also.

[BetterBizness]

I think Montreal will be lucky to hit 500 this year what about you Gord?

I agree completely. They will need to find themselves.

Cheers Gordo!

Nice hit Biz! I wasn't on the Total but had the side. Doubled up my bet too about a half hour before kickoff.

2-0 start for myself.

I liked Edmonton also, but didn't take them damn it.

[BetterBizness]

I thought it would be the other way around, Esks don't win, but they score a bunch.. wow a dog of a pace in that second half...

[BetterBizness]

I took shit from scully over why I took the Cats in the final ML because obviously it was a preconceived guarantee that the Riders would win... Oh well... can't please everyone... I lost so what...

My reasons are mostly against the public and a late charge towards the dog this afternoon... I think the smart cash is against the home team... guess we'll find out...

5x Ham +4
2x Hamilton ML +180 over Sask
2x Ham/Sask Over 54

Fking Hamilton... the disappointment of the CFL..

[BetterBizness]

Ottawa RedBlacks @ Winnipeg -4 OU 52

What does it say when an expansion team is less than a TD favorite on the road...

3x Ottawa +4
2x Ott/Win O 52

[BetterBizness]

Mods can you please change this thread name to 2014.. Thanks

[BetterBizness]

Good piece on how the CFL is truly a workman league...

BC -3 @ Montreal OU 49.5

Don't like much about this game because Montreal really looked out of sync last week. BC lost to Edmonton?

Glenn looks bad... Smith looks bad...

9-8 final?

2x BC/Mon Under 49.5
1x Montreal

[BetterBizness]

Ham @ Edmonton -5 OU 52.5

I like to be a homer tonight - but one game isn't exactly a season breaker... 5 is one of those throw away numbers that builds with steam... could get to 6 tonight. Not worth a lot to risk, but Edmonton looks like it has a passing game so I think the over is in play.

4x Ham/Edm Over 52.5
1x Edm -5

The 5hcp proved critical in the end. I got push as bought it down to 4

Onto tonight.
