I just put $100 on like 20 different games when I bet...if I can somehow do better than 50%, I win

It USUALLY works out to a few hundred bucks a week which is fine by me

10/1/2007 5:29:23 PM

Would be hard for me to bet the under tonight, with the Pats putting up 38 the first three games and Cincy giving up 51 two weeks ago, but that's just me. I wish you luck MacGyver.

10/1/2007 5:33:03 PM

MacGyver is my sworn enemy. Death to MacGyver!

10/1/2007 5:48:09 PM

"What bettors need to know: Patriots at Bengals By ALAN MCNAMARA | September 30, 2007 | 26 comments New England Patriots at Cincinnati Bengals (+ 7 ½, 53 ½) Dominant Pats The Patriots have steamrolled their opposition so far this season, going 3-0 with ease and posting some of the best numbers in the league. They’ve scored exactly 38 points in each game this season and won by at least 20 points every time. "We’ve had good weapons every year," quarterback Tom Brady told the Boston Globe when asked if this was the best Patriots offense he has played with. "It’s not like this passing game never existed before this season. We’ve done some good things." "We led the league in passing for a few years, so it’s just a matter of whether it’s a different style, and I think we’re expanding the field a little bit more vertically." The Patriots offense ranks first in the NFL with an average 441 yards and 38 points per game this season. But the defense – also No. 1 in the NFL – has been equally as impressive, allowing only 207 yards and 11.7 points per game. Chink in the armor? If the Patriots have shown one weakness this season it’s in defending in their own red zone. New England have surrendered TDs all five times opponents have moved inside their 20-yard line. Always the pessimist, coach Bill Belichick recently pointed out his team has vulnerabilities that it is continually working on. "We haven't stopped anybody yet, so it starts with me," he told the Associated Press this week. "We can't let them in the end zone every time they cross the 20-yard line. It's just ridiculous." Ten other NFL teams have allowed the opposition to score from inside the red zone 100 percent of the time, but only New England has given up a touchdown on every occasion. "We need to go out there and perform better in the red zone," linebacker Junior Seau added when speaking to the Boston Herald. "Talking about how we’re going to do it is something we don’t want to hear. We want to go out there and showcase what we know we can do in the red zone (because) we haven’t been able to do that." Bengals’ Johnson ruled out Cincinnati will be without running back Rudi Johnson due to a strained hamstring. The Bengals injury report lists Johnson as out for the game and he didn’t practice on Friday. Johnson has had more carries the past three seasons than any other running back in the league. But he started poorly this year, managing only eight catches and 58 rushing yards in three games. Sixth-year running back Kenny Watson will step in for Johnson. It is Watson's first start since 2002 when he was with the Washington Redskins. Watson has been mainly used as a special teams player in his five seasons with Cincinnati. "He's a little bit different style of runner than Rudi," Bengals coach Marvin Lewis told the Associated Press. "Certain runs we do offensively have been set up a little differently than where Rudi's strengths are." Special teams not so special The Bengals were one of the best clubs in the NFL on special teams last season, but they have struggled in this area this year. They've allowed a kick return of at least 47 yards in each of their three games so far, and rank 25th in the league in punt returns, 18th in kickoff returns, 27th in punt coverage and 29th in kickoff coverage. That’s compared to last season when they led the NFL in punt coverage, allowing just 5.6 yards per return, and were sixth in their kickoff coverage. "We're not executing," head coach Marvin Lewis told the Cincinnati Post after last Sunday’s loss to Seattle. "We're not kicking it, were not covering it." Cincinnati’s special teams struggles cost them a chance to win the game against the Seahawks. Receiver Glenn Holt was returning a kick with one minute remaining in a 24-21 game, but instead of going to ground and getting the offense on the field, he chose to run. Holt ended up fumbling the ball and losing possession. Seattle then ran out the clock and secured the win. "I can't say exactly what's wrong but I know we're going to stick together," Watson told the Post. "We're going to keep working hard at it." "

Just a little heads up. SportsInteraction has a $1k guaranteed $1 rebuy as part of their special NFL kickoff going. This is the last week. This normally wouldn't be a big deal, but only 50 something people played in it last week. Pretty ripe if you ask me.

It starts at 10pm, reg ends at 9:55.

10/1/2007 9:42:07 PM

yea but it's also a rebuy and addon event, so those 50 people will end up being equivalent to about 250 and cost you about 5-7 bucks if you plan on placing

[Edited on October 1, 2007 at 9:44 PM. Reason : oh i know who you are now, yea you know this fact already]

10/1/2007 9:43:32 PM

I know, and a $1k guaranteed with 50 people is still a HELL of a poker tourney.

Including rebuys and addons.

Still liking both my bets. Cincy +8.5 can still cover, and the under is almost a lock. As long as some shit doesnt get really out of hand, the under covers, and once again I split my big money bets if Cincy cant cover the spread. I keep ending up just a little every night because I am splitting the big money bets every night since Friday. Just one night where they both cover and I am up a good sum. One more TD by NE though, and I cant win both, so right now I am pretty much just expecting a split. Minus the juice. ....again

If you're splitting and betting the same amount, shouldn't you be down a little instead of up once the vig factors in?

10/1/2007 11:29:58 PM

thank god for monday making up for the weekend

10/1/2007 11:52:10 PM

Wow we knew Illinois was good

but favored by 3 points over Wisconsin

an unranked team over number 5 in the country

Wow that might be a first

adding Memphis -2.5 for tommorow night



Dead teammate = Inspired players


I hope that doesn't sound as cold as it looks.

Any thoughts on tonights game Memphis at home vs Marshall.

Marshall is god aweful, they have tons of starters out due to injuries, and their defense is 115th in the nation. I am really liking Memphis -3. Not sure o/u59. I am leaning to the over.

10/2/2007 6:41:44 PM

already got Memphis at -2.5

10/2/2007 7:09:21 PM

Took Memphis -3 and the over

10/2/2007 8:11:22 PM

I took Memphis -3 and the under 59.5


under is looking good, but memphis is looking like shit

10/2/2007 9:19:24 PM

motherfuck a push

3 in a row baby

10/3/2007 12:57:35 AM

any thoughts on tonight? Southern Miss -20 (20.5 some places)

Rice is fucking horrible, lost to freaking Nichols St.

BUT... S. Miss is starting their 3rd string QB

10/3/2007 2:16:51 PM

how can you consider a 7-8 record to be "stone cold locks"

10/3/2007 2:21:05 PM

sigh... dont be stupid.


First off, if you take all of them I am hitting over 66%


or, if you just look at the higher ranked ones, the ones I am more sure of, I am at 74% which is really really good

10/3/2007 2:27:58 PM

66% isnt a "stone cold lock" either

to be the shit, you have to do more than just say you're the shit

i regularly pick better than 60% of just spreads...but i don't say my picks are stone cold locks

[Edited on October 3, 2007 at 2:38 PM. Reason : .]

10/3/2007 2:36:28 PM

yea you are right, I should hit 100%. Thats totally realistic. In fact, i am going to do 16 teams parleys every week from now on

10/3/2007 2:39:32 PM

being realistic would be not acting like you're brandon lang when you're average, mang

HEY I TOOK YOUR ADVICE AND WENT 3-3 THIS WEEK, THANKS FOR THE STONE COLD LOCKS

[Edited on October 3, 2007 at 2:44 PM. Reason : .]

10/3/2007 2:43:32 PM

ok, you havent been betting long.. 66% isnt "average", and 74% is nowhere close


^ NO, you took SOME of my advice, you selectively picked SOME of my suggestions... if you would have taken all of it you would have gone 8-4... which is really good

[Edited on October 3, 2007 at 2:46 PM. Reason : d]

10/3/2007 2:44:55 PM

and neither of those are nowhere close to "stone cold locks"

i've been about 65% this year picking every single top 25 college game with the spread and about 5 nfl games a week...whoopty do, i'm gonna act like i'm special

[Edited on October 3, 2007 at 2:46 PM. Reason : .]

10/3/2007 2:45:39 PM

you are crazy, 74% is about the best you are ever going to do... you make it sound like people are hitting 95% (the only ones that come anywhere close to that are the ones that pick 1-2 games a week).


^ then why are you going by what I say if its so easy? you have figured out how to bust vegas!!! no one else ever has!

[Edited on October 3, 2007 at 2:48 PM. Reason : d]

10/3/2007 2:47:24 PM

you just think you're so great at picks don't you...i bet $2500 a week and always win a few hundred...you bet like 50 dollars a week...if i was so overly confident in my locks i'd use my skills to make more than fast food money

and i'm not going by what you say...im giving an example of what could hypothetically happen if somebody picked a random 6 of your locks

[Edited on October 3, 2007 at 2:49 PM. Reason : .]

10/3/2007 2:48:20 PM

no, much more than $50 a week. but that has nothing to do with how right you are about the picks...


^ ok, you have to be trolling now... oh shit, I picked the 4 that I lost, I was 0-4!. jesus you are being a tool or trolling like a mofo, you sound like fucking MacGyver
