    I just love the angle people use to cap games

    like take texas, johnny football going out in style

    or take the clips, they want to finish the year on a high note

    loads of other hilarious ones too like christmas day opener always goes under and all those funny reasonings


    I tell you right now, those vegas geeks dont stand a chance with their calculators and their suspenders





    happy new year and happy winnings

    You're dead on. Everyone take a ridiculous angle from time to time but it's amazing how many donks post them here

    My favorite is bowl season. 9 straight bowl unders so "this" game is due for over. People try to make cases out of 100% unrelated events.

    We all take a crazy angle sometimes, just something to make you pull the trigger on the wager. I just can't believe that people actually post that AND believe it!

    Here's to quality handicapping

    I faded the "Ray Lewis winning super bowl and retiring" angle. didn't end well for me.

    The crazier the angle, the likelier it is to happen.

    The "Ray Lewis" angle could actually apply though. That's something that's tangent, players could get hyped for someone's last game. That's valid.

    Totally invalid is 753 straight games have gone under so 754 will go over. The "due angle" is posted far too often at SBR.

    heat won a game without dwayne wade, that means they are better without him...

    one game is not a big sample size, give me a % hit rate on games were team with retiring player wins and then we can talk. tony gonzalez came back from retirement hoping to get a ring with the falcons. didnt even make the playoffs, didnt even win 5 games when last year they went to championship game. today everyone betting texas a&m, johnny gonna go out with a bang, didnt cover, almost lost straight up. yesterday texas, coach last game, everyone on them, players gonna play for their coach right? they didnt even show up, probably sent lookalikes to play the game


    there are one thousand reasons why ravens won, they were the better team, they were more experienced, they had the better qb, san fran playing with an over rated inexperienced rookie quarterback

    you lost because you didnt cap a game, you capped an angle


    vegas insider said the truth. we use angles to help convince us to place a bet we wanna make but dont have enough legit reasons to do so

    When was the last time a team wasn't hyped for a Super Bowl? Has anyone ever shown up looking ahead to the next season and overlooking a SB opponent. Hyped for the Superbowl, lol......great angle.
