so many suckers fell for that line movement instead of looking at the facts

      If Kelly kicks the stupid fvcking field goal instead of going for it from the 1, this thread may not have existed.
      if and buts, ifs and buts. If Cam doesn't fumble the ball, they win easily. Get real. It's funny how nobody is talking about how Auburn changed their game plan after they got the lead. They were sitting on it instead of being aggressive.

I did it myself in the Stnford/VT game instead of trusting myself.

        Exactly. Glad I trusted my instincts and you helped reinforce those for me

          Was the final score not 22-19 on a last-second FG?



          I can understand this thread had Auburn won by two TD's.

              I'm still trying to figure out what you're talking about with Stanford-VT.

                Urban Meyer said as the game went on it was obvious Auburn was pushing Oregon around. He said the size difference was obvious. The fact is, Auburn sat on a lead in which they could have added to & came close to getting burned but they still did what they needed to win.

                    I'm not denying the fact that Auburn was the "better" team (though both teams played like shit).

                    I'm just stating a fact: despite their "dominance," they won 22-19 on a last second field goal, which makes this thread kind of pointless IMHO.

                    Had it been a two-TD victory, you'd definitely have a reason to gloat.

                      Folks, I know Seer and we went back and forth in depth about this game before it was played over PM and he assured me Auburn was just better. Some people unlike me really know football and Seer is one of them.


                      Anyways, you can't convince a bunch of folks who lost anyways. Anybody watched the game could see the dominace Auburn had in the "trenches" where games are actually won. The stats and the final score was no indication of the dominance. Auburn owned there asses. As for the excuses about James and Thomas playing poorly??? Did you people watch the game? maybe that physical defense has something to do with that. This wasn't the Pac-10 you know...

                          Again, lyon, I agree Auburn had the better team.

                          I just don't get the point of the "I told you so" thread after a 3-point, last-second win -- especially when you're citing phantom RLM losses like Stanford-VT as a back-up to the argument.

                            Your reading comprehension skills need some fine tuning. If you reread the first post I stated that people shouldn't blindly pick games off of line movement. I also stated that I did it before and got burned. I'm sorry if you can't understand that.

                              Posted what? Stanford opened at -1, then immediately went to -3, where it started at most books. They closed at -3.5. There was no RLM on this game -- there wasn't any indication by line movement at all that VT was the play.

                                You have to know when line movement is important. Line movement on Oregon the past day was the sucker public betting Oregon. The original line movement by sharps was when the line first came out favoring Auburn.

                                You bet on early line movement. Most squares don't even know what that was.

                                  dude, you are irrelevant at this forum. Where are your winning picks. Now, please go troll somewhere else or post picks in a thread. Thanks. BTW, how did those Colts and Saints picks work out for ya?

                                        Wrong.

                                        The public doesn't have that kind of influence.

                                        A lot of heavy hitters were on Oregon.

                                              Either way, it was one I lost & I didn't look at any of the match ups and forced a play there which is something I don't normally do.

                                                I'm just going to say this about RLM and/or late line movement and then let the dog lie: tonight it lost. And it's far from 100%. If such a thing existed, we'd all be rich and gambling would be easy. However, it wins more than it loses. So you'd be a fool to ignore it, or fade it, on a regular basis in my opinion.

                                                    like I said before, don't blindly follow it but you can definitely use it. This game had too many other factors to ignore is what my whole point was.

                                                      Line movement loses AGaIN. AGAIN, these games are played on the field and not in offices. "pinny" gambles just like us.

                                                        You know I respect the hell out of you paco, but I've noticed you're very selective in pointing this out.

                                                        Just don't pretend that RLM or late money is a regular loser, and don't pretend people who read lines like myself think it's a 100% sure thing. Because neither are true.

                                                        Pinny and the like aren't machines/robots, but the oddsmakers and sharp bettors who move these lines are a hell of a lot more knowledgeable than any of us when it comes to making the right play. Don't take the knowledge of these cats in the "offices" lightly.

                                                              How do you figure? The ML/side totals were pretty split with the public.

                                                              Books won big with late sharp money -- not public money. Early sharp money pounded Auburn.
