Im tired of looking all over for some good conversation about the bets going on during the week. This thread is for that. Lets talk about the games, the spreads, and what we think. I just want some good insight into some games by some people I kinda know. Not some strangers on some random board. Lets try to keep this going, it could be very good to those of us who do bet on sports. As of NOW, the good lines I see are....

Falcons -6 vs Saints
Navy -12.5 vs Kent St.
Oklahoma -7 vs Kansas
Texas Tech -15.5 vs Kansas St
UGA -16.5 vs Vandy....I really want to take Vandy on this one, just because they alway play UGA tough at home, but being a lifelong Dawgs fan, I just cant....and we have Shockley. Dawgs win!
UCLA -5.5 vs Washington State...come on, the #12 ranked team who is 5-0 vs a 3-2 conference foe....and after UCLAs win last week, this has to be the best sure win of the weekend.
Auburn -7.5 vs Arkansas My other sure winner for the weekend. Just cant see the 4-1 tigers losing to the 2-3 Razorbacks by more than 8pts or more.
WVU beating Lousville striaght up on the money line. WVU win no spread, which is +7. Moneyline bet[pays over 3-1 right now] At home, I think WV can pull off the upset to the overrrated LU team who lost to USF earlier in the year.
Miami -41 vs Temple 41 pts is ALOT, but Temple is 0-6, and Miami is well....Miami.
NY Giants +3.5 vs Cowboys.... I will take the NFLs highest scoring offense with points any day.
Chargers -2.5 vs Raiders....Even Moss and the home field advantage can't offset Brees and Tomlinson

Thats what I have. Argue, chat, make your own suggestions.

good god

set me up with a bookie

i'll bet the fucking farm on the giants murdering that spread.

10/14/2005 10:39:50 PM

FSU -7 to UVA

10/14/2005 10:57:26 PM

^^I know man. There are just some insane spreads this weekend. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

10/14/2005 11:04:59 PM

carolina +1 at detroit

jesus

10/14/2005 11:30:30 PM

Hell yeah, even that^! Its almost a joke what some of the lines are this week. Detroit SUCKS ass, and they are only -1 against a Panthers team who beat the Patriots. I will bet all I have on that one. Well not all......but ALOT!

I hope you know -7.5 means they have to WIN by 8 or more to cover, not lose

Otherwise your credibility is gone

10/14/2005 11:50:15 PM

a fool and his money...

you should be betting over on the over/under for the USC/Notre Dame game. it's only 46 points, which I think is incredibly low. USC averages more than that by themselves every week, and the Notre Dame secondary is weak.

the giants are going to lose their high scoring trend this weekend.

UCLA always manages to lose to Washington St. for some reason when they shouldn't.

West Virginia won't be able to keep up in a shootout with Louisville, and USF isn't as weak as you may make them out to be.

I think Auburn will lose to Arkansas, but not by more than about 3 points or so.

10/14/2005 11:53:15 PM

^^Yeah, Miss posted that. I really dont see Auburn winning by less than 8pts

Where hell are you getting this shit? You couldnt be more wrong! The over/under has shifted between 70 and 72 this week, nowhere near 46. Are you just making your figures up?

10/15/2005 12:02:38 AM

I think the lines I picked are going to turn out very well. But damn, its "gambling" I if I was right all the time I would be a millionaire in Vegas. Thats the point of this thread, to help us sports gamblers get there. AS far as the over unders, I dont do those, I have here and there, but as a whole, I never do. I prefer the points. Or the lack of said points.

10/15/2005 12:24:49 AM

San Diego -2.5 is going to be money...I wouldn't touch the Giants game, or the Falcons game (I would actually go with NO+6 in San Antonio to rebound from last weeks embarrassment)

this link must be old, because it's listing the O/U at 44-46 across the board.

10/15/2005 10:12:20 AM

its not old as much as it is wrong. To be 25 points off the correct line is just bizarre. It it was 46, no one in thier right mind would hit the under

10/15/2005 10:44:42 AM

parlays are sucker bets...

Car +1 @ Detroit surprises me... the panthers have played really poorly thus far but Detroit flat out stinks... i cant believe the line is there... i think its about right, but i cant believe the public isnt hammering Carolina

10/15/2005 12:46:11 PM

the detroit secondary is getting a lot of picks this year, and Delhomme still doesn't seem to be throwing anything with accuracy. I think that homefield advantage is going to make the Carolina offense that much worse, and for that reason the +1 is probably about right.

10/15/2005 1:19:56 PM

oh i agree im not taking the Panthers

it just seems like the average joe would be like "carolina is good, detroit sucks let's take Carolina"

10/15/2005 1:53:52 PM

GG UCLA, way to fuck me so far vs god damn Washington State. You can beat CAL, and you are letting WSU run all over you. Game the fuck up Bruins

I warned you

10/15/2005 7:26:32 PM

I figured the momentum from last weeks win over CAL would be enough to help them overcome the past losses to WSU

10/15/2005 7:32:36 PM

they were down in there last two games as well, scored 3 td's in the 4th quarter to beat Cal

10/15/2005 7:35:34 PM

28-7 WSU with 4:00 left in the 2nd. So much for my sure winner

10/15/2005 8:00:24 PM

all even over time need a ucla score and extra point and wash st to fuck up

10/15/2005 10:08:44 PM

phew. carolina had me thinking my money was in jeopardy for a second.

That farm was .5 points away from foreclosure..

10/16/2005 8:23:37 PM

I did a teaser tonight (those are my favorites). It was really a no-brainer. Seattle had to win by 2 and they had to score more than 37.5 combined. I risked $120 to win $100, but I'll take that bet anyday.

10/16/2005 11:39:53 PM

Not too bad, I took Seattle -9 at -110. Who are you guys liking tonight on MNF? Indy is -13.5 and the o/u is 52.

Im thinking taking the Colts and the under.

10/17/2005 5:05:28 PM

tough call tonight...


but some early ones for this week I like:
Virginia Tech -10.5
Maryland

Michigan State
Northwestern +13

South Carolina
Vanderbilt +8

Texas A&M -2.5 Like this one big
Kansas State

Oregon -8
Arizona

Arizona St. -9.5
Stanford

Boise St. -18.5
Utah St.

10/17/2005 5:09:21 PM

OMG, this fuckin thread sucks!!!!!!!!!! MacGyver quit tryn to keep this bullshit going, the

majority of posts are yours. now one wants to participate in this fucking dog shit you faggott!!

10/17/2005 5:09:28 PM

hard to gauge

the Colts are a running team first this year and thats the one thing STL doesnt suck at...

If they open up the passing attack tonite they will blow the Rams out, but thus far theyve been content with running and letting their defense carry them.

One thing is for sure, Freeney will cause big problems for Bulger and he will turn the ball over 2-3 times...

I think Reggie Wayne catches 8-9 balls tonite and the colts win easily.... id be worried about laying 13.5 though cause of potential padders at the end. teams always seem to forge better comeback attempts on MNF

30 posts, 10 are mine. Thats not a majority. Thanks for trying though.

10/17/2005 5:14:48 PM

so, you're still a faggot you little bitch!!! and you have more posts than anyone else on this gay thread

10/17/2005 5:18:26 PM

I'm thinking of doing a teaser tonight and taking Indy at -6.5 and the over at 44.5. I don't feel super comfortable so I'm only gonna bet $50, but teasers are so great, because you could potentially pick any combination and still win. Hell, you could tease both scoring lines, the over, and the under and win them all.

10/17/2005 6:33:04 PM

LOL @ Panthers game

10/17/2005 6:38:18 PM

wow, I place a live bet during the game taking the Rams-3 and the very next play Bulger throws an INT and gets hurt Jesus fucking christ

10/17/2005 10:00:41 PM

Looking ahead to next week, I see some really juicy teasers.

Pittsburgh/Cincy: Over 36

San Diego +11 against Philly

Kansas City +9 against Miami

Washington -5.5 against San Fransisco

Washington/San Fran: Over 30

Dallas/Seattle: Over 38.5

Tennessee/Arizona: Over 38

Denver/NYG: Over 40

Falcons/Jets: Over 33.5

PS: I NEVER bet the under.

Oh well... 7 of 9 isn't bad at all. I made quite a bit of $$ teasing this weekend, woulda made a whole lot more. I put up $50 to win $250 on a 6 team teaser. 5 of them came worked out, but Dallas and Seattle decided they didn't like scoring points so I lost. I didn't bet on Arizona/Tennessee... I don't even know what possessed me to put that one up there.

10/25/2005 6:53:30 PM

Feeble, what kind of teaser do you normally do?

doesnt a two team teaser pay like 10/11?

10/25/2005 7:07:47 PM

I do 7 point teasers, which don't pay quite as good as the 6 or 6.5 point ones (of course).

10/25/2005 9:04:35 PM

11/2/2005 8:46:35 PM

THE U at +6.5 looks might good to me. However, they are playing against a Vick, so who knows.

"I really like Fresno State tonight. Bought 1 point. Line has moved from 9 1/2 down to 8, which means there is a lot of people on Boise. Rule of thumb, when 80% of public goes one way....you should go the opposite. Fresno ranked 21st and has really balanced offense. Boise is good but QB has thrown a lot of INT's. Fresno protects the ball. I also like the over. Fresno -7 Over 61 I have been on the best win streak of my life the last 2 months. Up 1,700 including 8-team parlay. I think I am getting better as well as just luck factored in. I know I could get cold anytime, just riding out the hot streak w/o going crazy on something that looks really good. Got an easy win last night with W Virginia. "

To quote from another thread..


I took the teaser down to FSU -3 Over 55 on the FSU, Boise State game tonite.

11/10/2005 7:23:09 PM

I took the teaser as well. Actually got Fresno -2, Over 54.
I might see if I can tease once more right before game time. Might get it down to a pick.

11/10/2005 7:27:08 PM

FSU -2.5
over 56 for me

11/10/2005 7:34:24 PM

I couldnt resist.. I had to go again

FSU- 1.5 O55

11/10/2005 7:57:56 PM

good start so far, looks like a shootout for sure

11/10/2005 8:05:24 PM

I'm 2-0 so far this week. West Virginia and Fresno State have put me up about $250.

I'm not going to share all my picks for free, but I like South Florida, Florida State and Texas A&M.

It's a great weekend for taking the points. Northwestern getting 18.5, Cal getting 18.5 at home and Kansas, who has one of the best defenses in the nation, is +34 against Texas.

It's gonna be another settle-up weekend.

11/11/2005 2:58:04 AM

we need a part where u explain the betting process and teasers and all that

i wanna make money bitches
