I am watching ESPN, they said this was one of the Europeans! This should be a push! We were misled by ESPN announcers!

You gotta love how ESPN keeps calling it a Euro, but when the majority wins on STFC the horse is suddenly now US.

I really should put 50x on the Lions ML, no way the Jets win

**yisman** · 11-07-10, 11:05 AM

I can't believe they didn't put up a Liverpool/Chelsea pick.

Anyway, I'll probably go with the Jets.

swing, if you want to make money off SftC, look for the "which team wins by the bigger margin?" props and then bet both underdog MLs.

What was the Liverpool/Chelsea pick looking like?

I like how you're thinking.

**yisman** · 11-07-10, 11:46 AM

They could've done Liverpool win/draw vs. Chelsea win or do a total goals prop.

Big match.

Anyway, someone should do back testing of the margin props.

You'd be up huge if you'd just bet all the underdogs. Last year was especially crazy. Plenty of times where they would put heavy favorites against each other and both would lose. Underdog MLs of +400 and up, sometimes.

**revnecro1273** · 11-07-10, 04:28 PM

jets pickers=luck boxes

**yisman** · 11-07-10, 09:04 PM

excuse me if I don't celebrate, because I had KC and Philly in BTP and Beat Blackie. Brutal beats and they take me out of contention for season-ending prizes.

also, tonight validates what I was thinking about football lines. I've found them unbeatable with NFL, but I've been able to beat college ones (especially midweek college).

**lordswing** · 11-08-10, 03:38 AM

is there some reason (i.e. player injury) a line isn't up for the Hawks game?

**Gemoka** · 11-08-10, 04:03 AM

is this for North Americans only? am i wasting my time ?

s it me or does stfc jinx games. seriously. i mean how many time have you seen match-ups where one team is way better than their opponent and ends up losing. I feel like if some of those match-ups weren't on stfc then the better opponent would win just like they would if they played a best of 10. I personall feel most recently that stfc jinxed the zenyatta and matt barkley props, i mean cmon matt barkely had the prop wrapped up and zenyatta is obviously the better horse. or how about those soccer picks with arsenal, man city, man u, where they end up losing. wtf. they would win at least 90/100 if they played that same team

**lordswing** · 11-08-10, 01:09 PM

there is no reason everyone shouldn't be on the same side at 7 est tonight

and what side is that?

**revnecro1273** · 11-08-10, 03:42 PM

ah...the 9 pt favourite

**revnecro1273** · 11-08-10, 03:44 PM

how about the usa women's match...higher percentage is on any other result where the actual spread is 4 and is juiced

**yisman** · 11-08-10, 05:46 PM

either soccer or Magic are reasonable picks

**yisman** · 11-08-10, 05:55 PM

I considered USA women from the odds that were getting posted, but I checked 5 Dimes and they have USA -3 at -116.

That makes USA like a -160 favorite or something, so like the song says, I'll pass.

**yisman** · 11-08-10, 06:00 PM

ok, 5 Dimes shows different lines for no apparent reason depending on whether you're logged in or not.

04USA (w) (n)
-3.5 and -4 -119
OVER 4.5 and 5 -111
02:59 PM7505Costa Rica (w)
+3.5 and +4 +102

5 Dimes when logged in shows similar, except they have the +3.5/+4 as a slight fave.

I'll take it and hope not to be kicking myself later.

bet365 at usa at + odds on the goal line and 5dimes had costa rica on the +odds for the goal line...5dimes a sharper book than bet365

**yisman** · 11-08-10, 06:50 PM

Pinnacle had USA -3.5,-4 favored, and 5 Dimes had Costa Rica +3.5,+4 favored.

So I bet USA at 5 Dimes.

factor in the higher percentage was on 2 or less which was a decent sized dog

**losturmarbles** · 11-08-10, 07:20 PM

yis, sometime back I looked back at a lot of the margin props ats and they were hitting around 70%. the ones were it's 2 teams larger margin usually do a lot better than just one vs some other prop (like tonight's).

I haven't been keeping up with them lately, just blindly betting them ats and sometimes the ml. and winning. Assuming they are +ev, the ml should be +ev also.

**revnecro1273** · 11-08-10, 09:50 PM

lame...atlanta had their chances of taking down the big chalk

**MexicanStallion** · 11-08-10, 10:46 PM

I am up to W4. Slow and steady trying to get something going. I'm stuck with NHL and NBA though.

**MexicanStallion** · 11-08-10, 10:57 PM

Somebody wants to join. Dmendel305 had a W7, but is currently on L1 with our leader at W8. Should he be allowed to join since he has no advantage right now? I think it's harmless to let him join, but want others thoughts.

**yisman** · 11-08-10, 11:38 PM

logically he should be allowed in, since it's not active and he's not leading

**Optional** · 11-09-10, 01:01 AM

Let him in. The more the merrier! (and bigger the prize)

**revnecro1273** · 11-09-10, 01:15 AM

i'd say let him in

**mikejamm** · 11-09-10, 01:58 AM

I'm cool with letting him in, as long as he's on a L1. Anything above a W3 shouldn't be allowed. What do you guys think?

**lordswing** · 11-09-10, 06:52 AM

haha, looks like the SM fell asleep when he put up these picks

**lordswing** · 11-09-10, 11:07 AM

If you have 100 points and are fine with SBR holding it for 2 months, go to the SBR Book and max out (100 pts) the field -600 on the NFL team with most arrests prop.

according to this database which searches news reports and articles (so is not 100% conclusive), the field has 38 arrests vs. 3 by the bengals, 1 by the cowboys, and 0 by the steelers+raiders. if i could, i would bet over 1000 points on this

easy 16 points

e: disregard, probably means each team and not their total,

**yisman** · 11-09-10, 02:00 PM

goodbye W6

Scoreless first half, but NAC scored twice to open the second.

RE: props

yes, that prop does mean which team will have the most players arrested. Field wins if any team other than the listed options has the most.

Also, for future reference, you can bet to win on favorites and get more points down.

For props, where limits are low, you can still bet 100 by clicking the 'to win' option.
