I'm down big today too.....you can't win em all man,on to the next one

**Grux** · 12-13-10, 12:00 AM

I have had no luck with Phili this year. First the colts now Dallas.

**stikymess** · 12-13-10, 12:04 AM

Betting the NFL is.... as 07 put it a nightmare. Ask the books this is their best time of the year.

**mtneer1212** · 12-13-10, 12:10 AM

ouch...... another backdoor ....... although most places at -3

Nightmare scenario no1 = complete.

It was 2 possession game for Dallas so if they got into FG range, they wouldve kicked a FG and then the Philly cover wouldve been 10 times easier. Philly fails to stop Dallas on 4th and 7 and gives up a TD. Nightmare scenario number 2 complete.

Then, final chance was Dallas stopping Philly on 3rd and 1. Of course, nope.

Lets not even talk about the first half FG by Dallas that couldve been negated.

Man, had I known the game was gonna go down like this, I wouldve asked for a Philly loss SU haha oh well onto tomorrow

Next time don't risk so much on an individual play that it puts you on the sideline

**annameansauce** · 12-13-10, 12:14 AM

Sorry.....

**biggamer3** · 12-13-10, 12:19 AM

Tough loss dude

**Wade Dwayne** · 12-13-10, 12:24 AM

The second Rodgers got knocked i knew today was going to be rough. Philly capped my perfectly shite day. All again tomorow.

**steelers7889** · 12-13-10, 12:24 AM

Damn bad loss

**stealthyburrito** · 12-13-10, 12:25 AM

real tough one.

**JMobile** · 12-13-10, 12:28 AM

I did not trust Eagles minus points against the Cowkids in Dallas. Eversince the Cowkids had a new Coach, they started winning and riding. So I took Eagles+1/Over 46 Teaser.

**bonduforlife** · 12-13-10, 12:30 AM

Ouch, dont worry bro. You'll get em!!!

**Michaelmakesit** · 12-13-10, 12:36 AM

if u liked them to cover -3.5 why not take the moneyline ?? thats what i dont get about people who bet sports. dont teal with the score of how many they win by.....take the easy $ with moneylines

**top310** · 12-13-10, 12:47 AM

Just ignore Michalemakes it. He just recently turned 18 as he mentioned in some thread that someone pointed out and he giving people advice on taking moneyline. He probably just bets $50 max a game so of course the ML isn't expensive for him

. Other people here who bet $500 and up a game would know that ML is very expensive. He wouldn't know because he just a small timer like lordvodka

**the_situation** · 12-13-10, 04:25 AM

the books know -3.5 and -4 are horrible lines because there's so many 3 point games and backdoor covers. I always buy down to -3 if Im playing it or hit the line early when it opens at -3. Risking $6000 on -3.5 without buying the hook is just foolish, no offense.

**annameansauce** · 12-13-10, 04:31 AM

To be honest, same here. I had 6000 to win 5000

**jjgold** · 12-13-10, 06:11 AM

Mike is right, laying that 3.5 is tough in an NFL game

Tough loss guy, you will get it back

Tough game. I lost my ass too. If vick gets that earlier third down conversion, they might have not kick fg there and get touch down instead. Your a sick fuk like me if my team screws me on the spread I always hope they lose straight up less they played a great game.

**firehoyt** · 12-13-10, 07:55 AM

I initially had Phil -3 6x and I threw Dallas ML into a small Parlay. Right before the game I decided to hedge my bet a little more so I threw down 1.5x on Dallas +5/O51 parlay and won. Although I'd rather have had Dal win for the parlay, guess it all worked out with breaking somewhat even for the day. Can't stand backdoor covers. The damn Colts game burned me last week.

**BRAVES1985** · 12-13-10, 08:41 AM

that game fuked alot of ppl

so true. Ive did 2 big line bets and got ****** over. Not for -3.5 tho thats stupid risking 5k to win by 4 when you can take ml. Especially an away game.

**boneheaded1** · 12-13-10, 10:31 AM

Live by the spread, die by the spread.

**boneheaded1** · 12-13-10, 10:33 AM

As for the statement on betting the NFL is a nightmare. American football is where the money is to be made (Pro and College).

**Glitch** · 12-13-10, 10:34 AM

gotta start buyin it down to 3, or 7, or 10 or 14 guys.

**tcarn01** · 12-13-10, 10:39 AM

ouch

**atwolfe** · 12-13-10, 10:39 AM

Always buy the hook on key numbers like 3, 7 and 10

**TouchdownMyPants** · 12-13-10, 11:52 AM

ML Discussion

People clearly have their views on this scenario. the kid who bets 50.00 per game and says take the ML is right:

spread -135 = 6k to win 3900
ML -200 = 6k to win 3000

I especially view the ML as the play in relation to bet size if I know my team has a 90% chance of winning SU. You give up 30% profit to increase your odds of winning from 50/50 deal to 75 plus.

I don't think anyone complains if you add 3k to BR.

Same for colts game on Thursday

**jeffksu** · 12-13-10, 11:57 AM

Tough break..but kick off the dust and come back strong...

**dynamite140** · 12-14-10, 12:29 AM

The thing is that kid michaelmakesit wouldn't even bet more than $50 on a game so his opinion is pretty useless. I mean yea he would bet moneyline $80 max to win $50 maybe but we all know kids like him won't even dare putting more than that on a bet yet he tells other ppl who bet $1000+ a game to just take the ML

.

Could you imagine michalelmakesit wagering $100 on a game even on the spread? He would sweating so much the entire game
