Scott Van Pelt says UCONN wins tonight..

70kgman · 10-29-10, 06:16 PM

I think Conn have a decent shot at winning this game outright. West Virginia look a lot better on the surface than they really are, a lot of their stats are misleading, they have had an easy schedule and 5 of their 7 games have been at home. WV haven't looked great in those 2 road games, and Conn have easily covered the spread in all their home games this season. I don't think the injuries to Conn's QB(s) is that big of a deal either, Frazer is pretty good.

I really don't care what these guys say, rather, I want to know who and what amount they are betting on...we have to assume they are getting their fixes on gambling , especially during football season.

Wish I ended up taking them moneyline. I stayed safe with the +6.5.

how do you know this for a fact ?

If I had his job, and gambled, I would be fired fairly quick. Could you imagine calling the highlights of a game you just dropped a few dimes on? It would be like that old espn commercial where there hire the young kid..

"Jimmy Keys?? What's he like 45 ? I could hit him"

Sportsnut1968 · 10-29-10, 11:47 PM

svp makes some pretty good picks...worth following

zert · 10-30-10, 12:14 AM

He was right on that one.

vitalogist · 10-30-10, 12:26 AM

Who else is he on? I know he's made a boatload this season blindly fading the public....

KingJIM · 10-30-10, 01:29 AM

Fwiw he said he was 0-5 last week. I think he's around 24-17 on season. Not sure about the rest of his picks this week but I'm sure you could find them on espn.

SportsExecutive · 10-30-10, 01:56 AM

he picked indiana,ole miss,usc, k state,air force.

zjohnzzz · 10-30-10, 04:01 AM

Duff85 · 10-30-10, 04:03 AM

I love his radio show, the man's always on point with a quality show. He has great guests and plus he always gives out some sharp picks throughout the week. He has the best show on espn radio. I do love Rome and his show, but the jungle does get a bit herpy derpy sometimes.

HoulihansTX · 10-30-10, 07:33 AM

Sharp fuk. ESPN doesn't know how valuable someone like him is.

Van Pelt has openly talked about having a "gambling problem" on his show. He makes it seem like it is in the past. I like that he handicaps games. ESPN should face the reality that much of the interest in sports is driven by gambling. Then again, I think they know this.
