I think taking Iowa is the smart choice tonite, but it's hard to bet money against the Pack and pull for them to win yet lose money...

11/30/2005 10:00:57 AM

safest bet if you're gonna bet on ncsu vs. iowa.... take the under, whatever it is

11/30/2005 10:01:06 AM

Illinois was not "free money" last night. Very thankful to win that one. That game had trap written all over it. I put a lot on it and glad to win and make up for Monday night.
Game just had every making of a trap. I think one of the biggest trends I read (after I had made my bet) was about unranked home teams that are favored against ranked teams. Not to mention, public heavily on Illinois.
They don't happen every time, thankfully, but next time my money will be on UNC in a game like that.

UNC just couldn't hit any 3's at all and that was the difference.

11/30/2005 10:29:42 AM

obviously anything can happen once the games start but carolina with 4 freshman playing the 12th ranked team and giving points is about as free money as it comes in the gambling world.

11/30/2005 11:27:52 AM

Against an overrated Illinois team on the road that didn't play well?

It wasn't easy money; the Illini easily could've given that one away.

11/30/2005 11:32:00 AM

If Carolina gets that rebound down by 2, they probably win or at least force OT. Again, the line looked great, but no where close to free money. If it had been same line at Illinois, then yeah, I'll put 10 times as much on it.

Anyone know %age on the trend I mentioned before. Unranked home team favored against ranked team. Vegas isn't always right, but they had a reason to favor the Heels last night.

11/30/2005 11:56:53 AM

Just won 50 at some poker and put that on Duke/Iowa ML parlay. Pays out roughly even. Hoping to make a quick 100 for the day, and then throw some on N. Illinois tomorrow night vs. Akron.

Anyone have any info on NIU/Akron and also, is it at N. Illinois? Or at a neutral site? Thanks.

where can you do one dollar parlays?

11/30/2005 2:13:46 PM

while not the best betting site, one of the easiest to use is sportsinteraction.com

11/30/2005 2:28:07 PM

+5.5 for State now, with no O/U. I'm tempted to make a small wager on that line..

11/30/2005 3:28:18 PM

count on it.

ncsu +5.5
over 128

11/30/2005 3:45:52 PM

I think http://www.caribsports.com/ has really low minimums. I've only used 2 sites and started about 5 years ago. I've used my current one about 95% of the time. I think the other one is carib. Seems like you could bet as low as $1 or maybe even $0.50. Been a few years though. I think they also charged to take money out. Thats pretty shitty.

11/30/2005 3:48:16 PM

I took a 2 team teaser:
Duke -1
Maryland -10

And
State +5.5

We need 3 ACC teams to win tonite to win this challenge and I hope State is the 3rd.

11/30/2005 4:15:05 PM

Duke +4
NC State +15 1/2
Mich St -4 1/2
NC St/Iowa u137

11/30/2005 5:06:37 PM

We? Man, I hate most of the ACC. I despise Duke and hate Wake since Prosser got there. Could care less about teams like Clemson and Fla. St. as well as all the newcomers. Don't really like Virginia either. Tonight though, I'm a huge Duke fan as well as a huge Iowa fan. C'est la vie.

11/30/2005 6:02:54 PM

got duke +4.5 and UNCC -6(bet before i saw how shitty they have played this year, oh well. they are up 4 at the half)

11/30/2005 9:17:01 PM

GT and their 4 desperation 3's in a row killed me

11/30/2005 11:45:39 PM

Straight Wager 11/30/05 13:49 ET
8.00/7.27 (paid 15.27) Result: Wager Won
NCState 42
Iowa 45 11/30/05 (21:45 ET)
NCState +5

very new to betting, but that spread seemed a bit much to me

12/1/2005 12:00:05 AM

yeah, state was a good pick today, as was duke

12/1/2005 12:53:26 AM

well, my lottery ticket didn't work (1 of 6 is not gonna get me 1.9 million), duke won and state lost, so i lost those, and minn +14.5 didn't work either since they lost by 17(?) or so. i had another 6 game parlay that would've put me in the money, but UNLV lost by too much (5 of 6 on that parlay)

12/1/2005 8:57:03 AM

I won my 2 team Duke/Maryland tease and won my State +5.5 bet so I'm 4-0 so far in bball this year. Better quit while I'm ahead.

12/1/2005 10:18:58 AM

ok pros, give me the sure-thing tonight. I wouldnt mind maybe teasing the football game tonight, but i dunno

12/1/2005 5:34:10 PM

I took Akron +13. I might make another small bet on teasing with the line and O/U. just not sure which way to tease the O/U.

12/1/2005 5:49:29 PM

I made another smaller wager teasing it to +19.5 Akron and over 47.5

The game is being played at Ford Field in D-troit.

[Edited on December 1, 2005 at 6:48 PM. Reason : blah]

12/1/2005 6:40:26 PM

woot

my teaser is lookin solid

12/1/2005 10:50:37 PM

Hell yea, hit Akron +13 and my teaser. so thats 8 in a row.

12/2/2005 2:18:46 AM

that akron bet was a great thing waiting to happen. +13 to a team that has one of the most inconsistent offenses in the nation? anyways, i took it (almost took them moneyline, obviously should have - the payout combined with the over was great)

tonight, i wouldn't bet on fresno state covering their spread. it's too large. everyone looking at it should seriously ask themselves if the so-called high powered offense of fresno is gonna come out blazing when they've already locked in a bowl and really don't give two shits about LA Tech. They win by 7-10 in my book.

12/2/2005 9:03:44 AM

Yeah, I see Fresno having letdown today after the last couple weeks of what could've/should've been.
I'm taking the points, LaTech + 26.

I got my ML parlay with Duke and Iowa. Made a small play on N. Illinois last night. Didn't know much about it, but thought they could beat them easily with good run game. Great finish to that game though.

12/2/2005 7:28:26 PM

LaTech...easiest money ever

Leaning towards a lot of favorites today, but more research yet to do.........

12/3/2005 7:59:03 AM

I gotta go take care of some shit, so I thought I'd drop in a drop off some early lines.

Kentucky is giving 6-7.5 points to UNC. I like Kentucky, and under 142 is looking decent. They're not big, but they're athletic and Tubby has the Wildcats playing solid defense this season.

Memphis at -3 to 5.5 @Cincinnati looks like a gift. I hope I can get it at -3.

Clemson -4.5 vs. South Carolina might be a decent bet. I'm tempted to take under 143, since South Carolina is SUPPOSED to be a slow-paced team, but their players like to mix up the tempo too much. Still might place a small bet on the under.

Arizona is -4 to -5 @ Houston. Wish I had the time to research more effectively, but I'll still put a little something on it.

I also like Texas Tech -8 against San Francisco.

Jesus Christ, Wake Forest -12 at Elon. Wow.

Grrr, wanna take Michigan +2.5 at Notre Dame. I'll prolly lay off, though.

Annnd we'll prolly put a lil' $20 on OK St. -19 at home vs. SMU. They've been trouncing people at home, hopefully that will continue.

Aight, I'm out...

12/3/2005 9:50:23 AM

Dammit, my site doesn't have the Wake Forest OR the Arizona line.

12/3/2005 10:03:13 AM

I took the Wake -12, getting ready to run some errands, hopefully going to be back in time to put some bets in this afternoon.

12/3/2005 10:24:59 AM

i got it as wake -13.5, still a steal i think

12/3/2005 11:50:05 AM

going for teaser #3, goal is five straight.


Colorado +36.5
FSU +24.5
UCONN +25.5

only $100 on this one, playing it safe since i know nothing about college football

12/3/2005 1:25:19 PM

I just went on Georgia +1

12/3/2005 3:09:50 PM

crap.

I was paying attention to tv instead of the page, and just put a bet on the o/u on the HU / SDSU game.


what the fuck do i know about that game?

IT BETTER BE A SHOOTOUT IS ALL I KNOW.

12/3/2005 4:08:14 PM

Quote :

"Colorado +36.5"

hahahahah damn

12/3/2005 4:10:17 PM

yeah, i really have no excuse... i saw Colorado play last week so i knew a blowout was in store... +34.5 should have been enough though.

Texas doesnt have anything to play for and Colorado needed the game so i figured they could stay within the 44-10 range. Texas defense isnt very good, you'd think they could put a few points on the board.


Looking back on it i should have jsut taken texas -14.5

[Edited on December 3, 2005 at 4:14 PM. Reason : a]

12/3/2005 4:13:42 PM

they are definitely pulling some nc state shit

12/3/2005 4:15:01 PM

Taking my winnings from the Wake game(9 wins in a row) and going to tease the VT/FSU game.

VT -7.5 over 38

12/3/2005 4:24:48 PM

Rally, what NFL do you have today.

Man, I had a good day yesterday that started really bad. I took UNC +7 for 2nd half. Needed them to win by 5. That last dunk looked like it was after the buzzer, but man WTF. Can Kentucky shoot a 3 and try to win the game? Not to mention, last play for Heels should have been Int, foul or at least count the basket. Pissed me off.
I won really big on Texas and USC. Army cost me a big teaser. Thought they could stay within 16. I also did a ML parlay with Army and Fla. St. That would have paid out 450. Army played like women. I took Fla. St. pretty big. I was leaning towards Va. Tech the whole week, and then the more I thought about it, the more I really liked FSU with the pts.

A friend talked me into taking Taylor over Hopkins last night and we both bet on an undercard. Israel somebody. We called him the Israeli Bomber. 3-1 underdog and he won.

Looked like a horrible day early turned into about 150 including missing about 5 parlays and got one parlay still alive today. 9-Teamer thats 2-0 right now.

12/4/2005 8:23:57 AM

With just a quick glance, I like the Skins over the Rams. Don't see Harvard QB doing too well in his 2nd week against a fairly good defense. I also lean towards SF/ARI OVER.

Anyone got any good plays/info???

12/4/2005 8:26:12 AM

big parlay for the day:

bengals, bucs, cards, redskins.. all moneyline

other bets:

VT +23 against duke, who knows.

Vikings -3

Packers +12.5 and Total score over 24.5

Bengals +3.5 and total score Arizona/SF over 44 as a a parlay

Bengals/Redskins moneyline parlay

jags/browns over 33

12/4/2005 11:39:17 AM

Man I knew as soon as I bet on that Vt/FSU game it was a losing bet, stopped my streak at 10. But stilla profit on the day so its good.

Today:

Vikings -3
Skins -3

Will go on Seahawks for MNF, but will wait till tomorrow to book it.

12/4/2005 12:05:43 PM

I'm pretty big on Steelers today. Coming off loss to Colts and at home today. Look for Steelers D to play well and Pitt O to find running game again.

Vikings looks good. But, Lions have new coach. Not sure how that will go at all. I'll prob. steer clear of that game today.

12/4/2005 12:21:05 PM

I took Lions +3
Also, Falcons +3 1/2 (bought 1/2)

3 Team Teaser (10 pts)
Pats
Titans
Chargers

12/4/2005 12:47:07 PM

all of mine are looking decent at halftime. hopefully i can cash in

12/4/2005 2:43:05 PM

Teased SD -4.5 and Over 44.
2-0 on the day so far.

12/4/2005 7:12:21 PM

bengals, bucs, cards, redskins.. all moneyline jackpot 5 bucks to win 40
Vikings -3 win
Packers +12.5 and Total score over 24.5 ... thank god i bought that extra half point win
Bengals +3.5 and total score Arizona/SF over 44 as a a parlay loss
Bengals/Redskins moneyline parlay another big win
jags/browns over 33 win

BIG day for me, more than doubled up the money I had in my bodog account, but its too bad I only bet 5 at a time, or else I would really be up. All in all I am up about 90 bucks today.
