Sharpest Game of the Year..

**No coincidences** · 02-02-14, 02:13 PM

Constantly amazed by how much $$$ posters (purportedly) throw around on such a high-profile game.

I have $500 on it, which is a big bet for me, but only because I'm up huge in the NFL this year and it's still only 500 bucks in the grand scheme of things.

Super Bowl counts the same as every other bet. It's either one win or one loss. Posters act like getting it right = the holy grail or something, like their account will be filled with gold coins or the bet will make their bankroll increase tenfold just because it's a big game. I've never understood why people go off the deep end in games like this, when you could've bet Buffalo/Bowling Green today and it would've counted the same.

i will bet small 100x

**ChiLLx** · 02-02-14, 02:15 PM

It's the fact that there's so much buildup to the game and it's the last football game of any kind for several months that make people go apeshit.

**Louisvillekid1** · 02-02-14, 02:16 PM

so true

$100 for me

**BIGDAY** · 02-02-14, 02:16 PM

Pound the winner 6er!

Not going to lie, I normally do that. Live betting is the way I'm going today.

NC... from 20.00 to 500.00 is a big jump regardless how you couch it

Good Luck tho

As a % of my gambling bankoll, it's a decent chunk.

In my "real world," $500 isn't much at all. I just bet with a very small % of my disposable income.

I can't imagine having thousands on a Super Bowl, national championship game, etc. Just seems like people get swept up in how "big" the game is.

**Ghenghis Kahn** · 02-02-14, 02:35 PM

yeah i agree, not sure why people go nuts on super bowl.

most people i know that are betting today are upping their units at least by 5x.

but these guys only bet on football though, that could be the reason.

**t-wizzle** · 02-02-14, 02:43 PM

Lol. How is this the sharpest game?

I'd argue it's probably the least sharp game every year.

Great post its like I never bet on or against my team, the niners, because I'm not a degen and actually want to enjoy game.

This year I don't care at all about the game.. could go either way so I'm laying off

shit that more than i have on it, i have sea ml and teased for 1u each.. i bet handful of props too but screw going big on this gm, i like sea but im not real convinced refs dont extend donks drives with holding and pi calls all night either...

**ebbearsfb1** · 02-02-14, 03:04 PM

i've mentioned the same thing every big game but never fails.. i've seen all in bets for both sides.

no action on the game, just gonna enjoy it for what it is

**k13** · 02-02-14, 03:08 PM

Only have $75 on it so far. Might make it bigger if the right signs show up before kick off.

No point in risking profits from the season on a coin flip.

**ebbearsfb1** · 02-02-14, 03:13 PM

i would say though
if you like the broncos you might as well pick manning to win mvp instead and get him at + money.
pretty much zero shot the broncos win and he doesnt get mvp.

the last non qb to get it was holmes in super bowl XLIII and big ben probably should of got it then and before that was ward with the steelers. so besides the steelers look at the qb for mvp

One of the few posts that tell me that the poster actually knows what he/she is talking about. NEVER bet with your heart. ALWAYS bet with your head. Staying away from your favorite team is the way to do that. Spot on post. Good job.

sharp line here too

**R.P. McMurphy** · 02-02-14, 03:32 PM

Nothing sharp at all about this game truly. You can try and call yourself "sharp" all you want when all is said and done and make a case on either side. If Denver wins it's how did all you fools take Wilson ov the Sheriff? If Hags win it's defense wins championships and Peyton is a choker yada yada. Nothing big here for me either risking $135 to win $100 on Donkey Ml and may jump in live for some. Gl everyone!

**byronbb** · 02-02-14, 03:33 PM

It's true people go crazy over betting on "just another game" but these big public games can offer up value imo. Vegas is dealing a ML arb against offshore, how is that a sharp line?

**bradleysnyder** · 02-02-14, 03:40 PM

im on denver for 500 rolling from a parlay from yesterday!!!!!!$125 to win $516 and the only one left in the 4 leg parlay is dnever ML!!!Thats all im putting on the game....im betting a lot of props for fun!!!!

**jjgold** · 02-02-14, 03:42 PM

This is not my top game of year even though 2nd biggest bet ever
I am all cope up in the hype and plus want my money back from all my loses this past year and then want a little side money

**thebestthereis** · 02-02-14, 03:43 PM

sharpest game of the year not. it's just another game beatable as any other all year. you fade lang, eat dip and drink beer. people just don't get it, stop guessing and stop gambling.

I feel this is my best option, too.
Some of the alternate/adjusted lines look tempting.
Enjoy the game and good luck.

Right on.! I learned many,many years ago that just because it's the Super Bowl does not mean that it has to be ur " super" bet of the year. As it is with any sport, there are a whole lot more games through out the season that one can find better angles and reasons to bet a game than the final game of season.! Also for the newer bettors out there don't make the size of ur bet equal to the size of ur buzz.! Hope everyone has fun tonight and be safe.................................... ...gl

Floyd mayweather laid 10 million at the Wynn hotel and casino... The book manager told him they was not able to take his bet because it was to large. They called me up and asked if I would like to take the action..I said hell yea!!! Seattle on 10 million for me

**JayLA** · 02-02-14, 03:55 PM

I just wish i liked the broncos so i could take even money bets at the party. I only have $175 on it as of now. Going large on such a high profile game is bad news

**k13** · 02-02-14, 03:56 PM

Adding more now...

**Rangers901** · 02-02-14, 04:01 PM

I tend to agree with this statement.

I understand people like to go crazy and put small amounts on all different types of props, which is fine, but a lot of people tend to throw away a lot of their profits trying to be a hero. A win is a win, regardless of the stage.

Regular $1,000 wager for me as well.

**ebbearsfb1** · 02-02-14, 04:09 PM

if im playing anything though.

i'd probably take a long look at that under..

i know its a nice day in nj right now, but that stadium tends to get windy at times

denvers defense has been a bit underrated and seattles offense isnt anything special

and on the other side denver has a great o but seattles d should also be able to slow down broncos a bit.
