FFA Wagering Thread: THERE HE IS!@! (3 Viewers)

Is it typical to have a midlife crisis where you kind of just stop giving a #### about sports?
Been doing this for awhile now. Football is the only thing left for me, for the most part. At least as far as being an "avid" fan goes. And CSU sports. But the interest in the rest of it all is waning.
You've given up the ponies? Say it ain't so...
Nah, that stuff is fun still, with all that goes along with it. It's a puzzle and an entertaining 2 months of the year.

 
Two games in a row CSU has failed to cover because of some bizarre sequence of events. Crazy :(
You're right. Totally forgot about that last one, which was easily one of the worst beats ever (I did not have CSU, btw).

 
Just saw him over the holidays and every time

I think of him getting hurt while celebrating/razz him about it i laugh so hard.

You gotta kick there right!?

I even had CSU -2.5 that game. I saw your comments about how dirty that line was and you have been spot on both times. Vegas has been begging people to take CSU. The losses on both have been surreal but at the same time, I shouldn't be taking lines like that in the first place.

 
Cant find the post but yeah OBJ tomorrow.

Sick as it sounds over 8 and 120 if they are posted tomorrow. Just hope he doesnt get thrown out of the game

 
This guys puts out a parlay card every year and then fades the lopsided ones.

10-2 ATS and 7-5 ATS respectively the last 2 years

Here are the most disparaging results from this years Cards:

209. South Alabama -3 (17-1). PLAY ON BOWLING GREEN +3

224. North Carolina -3 (26-3). PLAY ON RUTGERS +3

228. Cincinnati -3 (31-5). PLAY ON VA TECH +3

230. Arizona State -8. (41-4). PLAY ON DUKE +8

236. Southern Cal -7 (52-5). PLAY ON NEBRASKA +7

240. Oklahoma -3. (48-4). PLAY ON CLEMSON +3

242. Arkansas -6. (37-8). PLAY ON TEXAS +6

246. Georgia -7. (40-7). PLAY ON LOUISVILLE +7

250. TCU -3. (49-4). PLAY ON OLE MISS +3

256. Auburn -7. (37-12) I PLAY ON WISCONSIN +7

272. Washington -6 (27-6). PLAY ON OKLAHOMA STATE +6
:bye: I mean I was going to play OU, but not fading this

 
Every time the media refer to Ohio State's QB as "the third string QB," in my mind's eye I just see more and more people punching Alabama tickets. Cha-ching, cha-ching, cha-ching. Every time I turn around I hear the media alluding to him that way. I'm taking Ohio State to win SU for sure.

I don't follow CFB closely like you guys, but this would be a good exercise for someone with Betlabs. Looks like the 5 favorite consensus picks per SBR so far:

Utah 59.8% (won)

SDST 59.2% (lost)

WKU 65.0% (lost)

UCF 58.9% (lost)

USC 62.8% (lost)

The numbers are really early, but for Monday:

Oklahoma -3.5 67.7%

Arkansas -5.5 65.5%

are really lopsided

I already bet them +9.5 as an autoplay, and will likely play both them and FSU SU.

Texas is also a Johnny Detroit play FWIW

 
I have them twice on the last legs of teasers at -1.
Dude nice hit. They tried everything they could, even with one second left on the clock. That damn referee reminded me of the old dude from the 1991 film, Nothing But Trouble. Also, nice hit on the over for the dudes who played it.

i think fade the public in bowl games is always going to be a winner. I made picks with my old boss every year and we alternate picking games do the whole bowl games in 10 minutes tops. Both are the casual ncaaf gamblers who really dont know ####. I left my sheet at work but we usually pick like 45% at best. :dr detroit: autofade!

 
To expand it to all bowl games so far this season (using closing pinnacle lines). Definitely is very interesting at the top and consistent with what your guy is seeing.

W. Kentucky -3.5 65.0% (lost)

USC -7 62.8% (lost)

Utah -3 59.8% (won)

SD St -3.5 59.2% (lost)

UCF -2 58.9% (lost)

N. Illinois +8 57.1% (lost)

S. Alabama -3.5 56.4% (lost)

AZ State -7.5 56.3% (lost)

UNC -3.5 54.6% (lost)

LA Tech -7 54.5% (won)

Air Force +2 54.1% (won)

Memphis +1 53.7% (won)

Pretty much by script. Bet the dog before 31, bet the chalk after.

I'd do it but the year I tried that all the chalk would win before the 31st, and all the dogs would win after.

I can probably guess which year your buddy went 7-5 and which year he went 10-2. That's 8-25 that I see. Definitely need to get a Betlabs trial and see what they have.

 
some interesting trends on guys going over yardage. Brees needs 325 for 5000, etc. Can definitely see Brees and Payton going for individual records
