Wear your baseball cap backwards and you'll be just fine.

root for the over

you should just get a 19 pound watermelon and throw it at your tv immediately.

i expect you to have figured out who to root for by now.

it's good you are finally acknowledging jinxes as a legitimate component of sports betting in general

that's great if you beat the closing line, parlay correlated bets, get value buying and selling points - but what's the point if you turn around and jinx those bets into losers?

the way to make money betting on sports is

1) figure out a way to identify line value
2) understand and employ proper money management techniques
3) understand and employ proper and effective jinx avoidance techniques

ignore one, and you will lose no matter how good you may be at the other two

Money over Matter

MilfDriller · 10-03-09, 03:32 PM

UW can't hold on like this for the whole game. they'll crack soon

Iceman · 10-03-09, 03:33 PM

There are 20-30 games a year in all sports that I will not bet as the fan in me means more then the money.

Other then that everything else is fair game and money wins out.

jjgold · 10-03-09, 04:21 PM

I think if you do not watch the games you should not be gambling

BigOrangeTitans · 10-03-09, 04:26 PM

Justin, UW wins this one outright, so go ahead and jump on the bandwagon pal. The dawgs will make ya a winner although your wearing a complete loser. Pound UW 2nd half so you can hear the cash piling up while the stadium is shushed.

Charlie Weis is so gonna get outcoached by the Sark on these 2nd half adjustments.

FreeFall · 10-03-09, 04:43 PM

root for Wash!!

Justin7 · 10-03-09, 04:45 PM

*sigh*

I took some Washington +7.5 for the second half.

DrStale · 10-03-09, 04:49 PM

Easy, you should never root for Notre Dame.

Whats the status on Floyd?

Hotdiggity11 · 10-03-09, 05:24 PM

ND is just hoping to win now.

Hotdiggity11 · 10-03-09, 05:32 PM

Notre Dame's red zone offense is horrendous lol.

Good man, now dont you feel so much better?

durito · 10-03-09, 06:05 PM

hit my over, but went 1-2 on props. small profit, dont matter who wins

20Four7 · 10-03-09, 06:06 PM

ND is my team..... up by one right now....... I got the win..... Justin got the cover...... I never ever bet against my team but I don't always bet them either.

KingJIM · 10-03-09, 06:18 PM

Not over yet. Tie game. Justin7's 2nd half spread is in jeopardy but game spread looks good. Go Irish

20Four7 · 10-03-09, 06:34 PM

Irish win..... never in doubt...... Good call Justin

durito · 10-03-09, 06:44 PM

had a. allen over 20.5 carries. only had 12, most were in the 1st quarter though, thought they'd run it more and struggle at bit more on the pass

Got a little greedy going against your team here. Probably was right side and would have won if it didn't get pushed into ot. Worst thing to happen for this play was Notre dame getting ball first in ot.

Armando got hurt. He'd been hobbled since the Michigan St. game, so not sure if they was a great bet.

Glad Justin could get the win and ND got the victory. Tough break with the second half bet. Weis lives for another day...

MartinBlank · 10-03-09, 07:13 PM

Washington and Sark had 12 shots at it inside ND's 2 yard line and they get 3 points.

Locker is what, 6'4? 230? I would have use him as a battering ram for 3 straight plays. Sark got too cute.

I would have too, but earlier in the game he got stuffed on third and inches on the goaline and 4th and inches on consecutive plays.

Yeah. I grew up in Blacksburg, and mostly live in South Bend a short trot from campus.

IrishTim · 10-04-09, 07:10 PM

Living in South Bend by choice? Takes a man.
