FFA Wagering Thread: THERE HE IS!@! (6 Viewers)

[lumpy19]

I just put 1u on Boise St. to win the BCS NC at +800. If they get through VT, they should run the table...and they're starting in the top 5 of the polls....so this is the year I think they go provided they run the table.I was pretty surprised to find out that Boise is actually favored at VT

Interesting situation with boise...they're entire season rides on game 1There's got to be a way to capitalize on that.

I fully expect SB to leave the BCS NC lines up during the VT game. I'm gonna wait to play them and hope the lines stay up.

That's an option. boise at +1000 at sb which is pretty good.i played boise at +1200 at 5dimes, most other sites are +800 to +950i also have florida at +2500 from february....hoping for a florida/boise national championship game

 

[Tiger Fan]

Anyone playing anything on the football game tonight? I'm pumped for fb and I have 25 in free play at betus?

Well the crazy thing is that they're a -2.5 favorite @ VT to open the season.....so I guess some early money is on them. Both teams are evenly ranked in the polls. I honestly don't know much about VT this year, but I know Boise is returning 21/22 starters....and they seem to always play up in big games. I think I just talked myself into putting a few more units on them.

They're favored because the game is at a neutral field(fedex field) not in Blacksburg.

Gotcha

This game reminds me that you'll typically make money betting every under in the preseason.

You know those cats whose entire strategy is to "play bookie" and they bet against the wagerline consensus in every sport? How do they generally make out? I'm guessing not great, since they still have to fight vig and real bookies do not.

Probably decent. Shopping for the best prices against the consensus is probably a winning formula.

Any clue why the Sox/Yanks game for tomorrow afternoon is currently OTB?

Any clue why the Sox/Yanks game for tomorrow afternoon is currently OTB?

I think at one point yesterday there was some uncertainty about who the Yankees' starting pitcher would be.

I think your guess would be correct. If it were that easy to win books would be out of business.Online sportsbetting is different than it was 5 years ago when maybe that would have worked, the public doesn't move lines in any sport IMO.

The market is tightening up. Even after just 2 days back in the mix, I can tell it's not going to be easy pickins like it was at times last year. Last year, I could open up sportsbook and in 15 mins have 10+ baseball plays on team totals, 1st to score, run in 1st inning, and player props. With the 9 games on the card today I made zero bets. Nothing was out there and sportsbook's lines were on target. A few were off a tad but nothing worth betting to me.

I know football season will probably be different with many other people betting, but man it was very discouraging.

The baseball props are tightening up quite a bit. I play many more sides and team totals, before 75% of my plays were player props.

you'd be killing it just by playing top 3 hitters in the batting order and try to avoid lefty/lefty matchups if a specific player struggles against lefties, just check splits, did not apply to Span today, he hits lefties well. Today was Polanco, Span, Theriot. 24-2 last 10 days.

Don't take the bait, bro. Scott Van Pelt had some golf commentator on his show today, and he asked him if it was more likely that Tiger will finish Top-10 or miss the cut. He answered "miss the cut" and that his game is awful right now and he sees no way he can turn it around so quickly.

I love you RaiderNation...but I was listening to Colin Cowherd and he asked some golf commentator the exact same question and he said "Win the tournament"Point is, I dont give a rat's ### what a "golf commentator" says....I would bet Tiger Woods at even money to finish in the top 20 in a major if he wasnt in the field. Guy is struggling mightily, but there is no way that is not a good bet.But I am an admitted Tiger homer

Luckily, I didn't play the ML, and i teased the 3 games and got lucky. Definitely don't want to have my money relying on Hunter Cantwell .

 

[MarshallPlan]

I bet Cink today in his matchups. And I bet Mahan too, I have a feeling he goes very low today - obviously doesn't win but 65 or so. I bet Dufner +175 against Furyk and I'm on Snedeker too. GL.

I also put some nickels on Dufner to win at 80:1. Day is 20:1 at Pinny and he's only one shot closer. 5 shots back isn't optimal, but worth a flyer.

Quick with payouts every time I've cashed out. Decent prop selections. You can parlay MMA plays (not sure that pertains to you, but it's pretty rare for a book to offer this). Pretty horrible lines - favorites regularly inflated, dogs not much better priced than other sites. Careful with their bonuses though, IIRC they have extremely large rollovers before you can cash out. Last year when I deposited a few grand to play GooRoo's NFL player futures there, I was given I believe a 50% deposit bonus with a 6x rollover (something to this effect) and when I realized I'd never, never be able to rollover the 10k+ that they wanted before I could cash out, I called them up, fought tooth and nail and had them take back their bonus so I wouldn't have to worry about it. Props/futures didn't count towards the rollover, and I believe moneyline plays over -200 were only worth half or something to that effect.

Reload at betus, EARLY1000 is the bonus code

6x rollover, 60 day hold, match 100% up to 1k

I'd recommend verifying with live chat that you're eligible and then doing the deposit with them on live chat to make sure everything goes smooth.

I didn't get an email about this but a friend did and forwarded it to me.

ETA: lots of reports on SBR about them not paying, might not be the best place to deposit if you just want to have some fun and wager on NFL stuff

They're also raising prop limits. Finally answered one of their phone calls, told them to never call again until they can raise my limits, guy puts me on hold to talk to his supervisor, comes back and asks me what I want my limits to be...I say 500... he puts me on hold...he comes back and says 100...I say 300...he talks to his supervisor....we settle on 200.

Maybe they'll raise mine too, I'm down pretty big to them...I wish I would have argued with them about this BEFORE depositing

2005 you could just grind out a solid year doing this. Back when covers was relevant there were some real solid guys on there to follow fading the public. They knew more than what wagerline would even tell you. Wagerline does not track $$ amount, and some of the guys had a feel for the handle. You'd wait to bet till Sunday on big public plays and hit 55-60%. Books caught up and the lines just don't move like they used to, especially across key numbers in the NFL. Teasers played a huge role in this.

I am looking to re-load at Sportsbook or maybe find another book and would like to get the best bonus I can find. I am very small time - purely for entertainment purposes and probably with a total bankroll of under $1,000 for the season (betting football and euro soccer). Please let me know if I can use this or if anyone knows of a good bonus available if I were to start a new account at a different book.Also - just curious whether any of your sportsbooks have a current season win total for the Vikings since Favre's return. Sportsbook still has them OFF for win totals and NFC North futures.thanks all.
