Love the Seahawks in a 6-pointer this week. Currently sitting +1.5, squarely in the Wong window. Need to find a partner, but if the Eagles even win, I'm extremely hard-pressed to believe it'll be by 2 possessions.
ETA: Love them paired with the 49ers to -2, booking that for 1U now.

Sorry for being goofy. In the alternative, you could try Joakim Noah over 17.5 PR (Sportsbetting).

I got a weird call from sb.ag.
I made a deposit there months ago. Apparently the bank that they used to process the deposits went out of business or something and never paid them. So, my credit card paid this bank, and the sportsbook never got the money but my account has been unaffected.
Now, they want me to assist them in contesting the charge through my credit card company. Basically, they are hoping the CC company will refund my money, and then I can make a new deposit with them through a new bank or whatever so they get paid.
Anyone ever go through something like this? Not sure if there's anything I should be concerned about here.
If I don't help them or if the credit card rejects the appeal, not sure if they just let me keep playing or what.

Quite possible. I'm going to put $5 on Ryan Anderson over 14.5p tonight as a pre-emptive strike against any shenanigans.

A record $379.9 million was bet on football in October at Nevada sportsbooks, the most ever for one month since gaming regulators began tracking sports betting revenue and $40.8 million more than the previous record set in September.
Yes, the sports betting business is booming in Las Vegas.
"We're happy with our increase in handle and, more importantly, with the increase in the win it's producing," said MGM vice president of race and sports Jay Rood, who estimates his book has seen a 5 percent increase in handle in 2014.
The sportsbooks won $16.98 million on NFL and college football during October and are now up $54.25 million during the first two full months of the season. Nevada Gaming Control does not track NFL and college football separately. The books have not suffered a losing month on football during the regular season since November 2012.
Overall in October, the state's 188 sportsbooks won $27.6 million, which was a 9.06 percent decrease from October 2013. They won $3.77 million on baseball during the month, according to Nevada Gaming Control revenue numbers released last week.
"It was our biggest month in the last couple years in terms of the amount of bets," said Jason Simbal, vice president of race and sports for CG Technology. "The average bet amount is the same, but there's more people betting."
Despite the increased handle, sports betting remains one of the smallest revenue producers for casinos. For example, Nevada casinos won $77.8 million off blackjack in October.
"Sports betting is still a fairly small blip in the radar, but that may not stay the case in the years to come," Rood said. "There might be some winds of change coming down the road, but I see the trend continuing."

Book report
Another week, another win for the books, which have come out ahead in all but one week of the football season.
The MGM, Westgate SuperBook, CG Technology and the Stratosphere sportsbooks all reported profitable Thanksgiving weeks.
The Jacksonville Jaguars rallying from a 21-0 deficit to beat the favored New York Giants 25-24 crushed a ton of parlays and produced Sunday's biggest win for multiple shops.
The Green Bay Packers covering as a 3-point favorite in a 26-21 win over the New England Patriots also helped the books end up ahead. Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski missed a 47-yard field goal with 2:40 to play that would have potentially covered the spread.
"That was our biggest win," said Hugh Citron, supervisor at the Stratosphere sportsbook. "We had quite a few limit bets on the Patriots. This was first time all year that I can remember us getting to root for the Packers. Usually we're trying to pull our hair out trying to beat [Aaron] Rodgers."
Saturday also went the way of the books, with a bevy of underdogs covering in the early rivalry games. Michigan covering the 21-point spread with a late fourth-quarter touchdown in a 42-28 loss to Ohio State was a big win for the books, as was underdog Mississippi's outright win over Mississippi State.
Bettors battled back in the late games, though, especially the Iron Bowl. Three times more money was bet on Alabama than Auburn at the MGM. The SuperBook, William Hill, CG Technology and the Stratosphere also were lopsided on the Crimson Tide, who outscored Auburn 34-11 to finish the game and cover as a 10-point favorite in a 55-44 win.
Early college football action
It's been a moneymaking trend all season -- bet against Florida State.
The Seminoles dropped to 3-9 against the spread after failing to cover as a 7-point favorite in a 24-19 win over Florida. That's among the worst ATS records in the nation.
"They're just not a very good team," SuperBook oddsmaker Ed Salmons said. "Right now, as soon as you put a line up on Florida State, there are so many people, sharp players, who just instantly bet against them."
That was again the case when the line on the ACC championship game was released Sunday. Florida State opened as high as a 5-point favorite over Georgia Tech. Early money on the Yellow Jackets shrunk the line down to minus-3.5 as of Monday morning at most books.
"I made it [Florida State] 4.5 and thought it could have been as high as 6.5," Salmons said. "And they still bet it down."
The anti-Seminoles sentiment also is reflected in the SuperBook's updated odds to win the national championship. Florida State, the only undefeated team in the nation, is listed at 10-1, behind Alabama, Oregon, TCU and Baylor.
"Honestly, even 10-1 may be a little light," Salmons said.
Wisconsin attracted early action in the Big Ten championship game against Ohio State, which lost starting quarterback J.T. Barrett to a broken ankle against Michigan. The Badgers opened as a 1-point favorite at CG Technology but were bet up to minus-3.5 as of Monday morning.

Going to be putting my largest future wager on Louisville again this year. They look like they're on Duke's level, half a step below Kentucky. Clear top 3 imo.

Well, my results definitely aren't reflective of swirv's overall success, but I've tried to make up for it by going heavier on the prime time games where more plays are offered, including Rude's tackles, and more books are offering props. I can't complain.Ouch....considering swirvs history of dominating at 1pm and collapsing at 4pm it must be rough for you.True, but I usually miss out on most of the 1:00 plays due to being at Church.40-25 last week.. 65 bets within 4 days and yer done30 bets?

Just lay the lumber on the Ducks tonight. Flyers on a back to back, Emery probably starting. Flyers lost in last 15 seconds last night and are in total collapse mode and have scored 2 even strength goals in the last five games. I laid off them last night thinking they might steal one against the Sharks, they don't have much of a chance against a better, rested Ducks team. Quack quack.
