:thumbup: Unfortunately it will get washed away if the Eagles can't get going and cover the 9.5. not sure if i want to play any second half plays, tough call with what is going to happen here in the 2nd

Your team is down by 18!!! Please tell me you aren't happy right now. I'm pissed off and I'm not even a fan of them.

:shrug: What can you do. There may be 1 starter left on the OL, team can't do much with 2nd and 3rd stringers in there, especially with a QB who was not that great to begin with. Doesn't excuse the defense, but I can't figure them out this year. They look dominant at times, and then you get crap like this tonight. Maybe i am just a beaten fan

I've got a lot more at stake in the Philly +10 1/2/over 44 1/2 with 18 teasers being involved, but I also thought Philly was dead at half. Turnovers change things.
 
I can't tell who is more annoying, Saints fans or Raiders fans. Maybe annoying is not the word, more like camera-hungry

 
REALLY need an Eagles TD here. NOW. Would cover both teaser legs. Otherwise lose both teasers and the Saints halftime bet.

 
If the Eagles score a TD here I go 15-0 this week, 13-0 in teasers and 2-0 straight. They don't score, 10-5.

That's a pretty decent sized swing.

 
Well ####. Still a very good week, I guess you can't win them all but a perfect teaser week sure would have been nice. Can't believe the 44 1/2 didn't cover. Unreal. More than doubled my bankroll the last 2 weeks, guess I shouldn't be so greedy :)

 
A few bettors turned $5 into $5,000 Sunday, and that was just at one local chain of sports books.

William Hill spokesman Jimmy Vaccaro said his sports books paid off more 10-team parlays than he can remember in a single week of NFL action. Another William Hill patron spent $3 and cashed out for $9,000 after all 12 legs of a parlay came in.

“More and more people are wanting to bet a little to make a lot with parlays,” Vaccaro said. “In parlays, bookmakers have the best of it, but it turns very quickly when they get on the right sides. That’s what happened yesterday. You have to accept it and move on.”

Week 9 of the NFL proved catastrophic for Las Vegas sports books, as almost every team supported by the betting public rolled to cover the spread.

Public bettors tend to back more favorites, which covered in nine of 13 games this week, with Monday Night Football, where the New Orleans Saints are 3-point favorites over the Philadelphia Eagles, pending.

Even the underdogs that beat the Vegas number — namely the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers — weren’t unpopular selections.

“It was the worst day I’ve ever seen that involved regular season in the NFL,” Vaccaro said. “I’ve seen worse single-day events, like big boxing matches, but it was really bad for the books.”

The three sides bet on the most at William Hill sports books were the Denver Broncos -5 over the Cincinnati Bengals, the Detroit Lions -5 over the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Houston Texans -10.5 over the Buffalo Bills.

All three of those teams won by more than a touchdown. A swing in any of those games, or several others, would have meant a more manageable loss.

“I tip my hat to the people who came up with those teams,” Vaccaro said. “I don’t know how they did it, but they didn’t win much the first eight weeks.”

Underdogs on the season had gone 68-47-2 against the spread before last week, meaning a bettor could have profited lucratively by blindly betting on every team getting points.

“We actually probably had the best eight weeks I’ve ever been involved with leading up to this,” Vaccaro said. “So everyone was feeling good about themselves, but you knew there was going to be a day when you were going to get a preponderance of favorites. But this wasn’t only favorites, it was the right favorites.”

While sports books were still tallying their early losses, key games went against them in both the afternoon and evening. The Seattle Seahawks covered the 5-point spread against the Minnesota Vikings and the Atlanta Falcons, favored by four, used a last-minute field goal to beat the Dallas Cowboys by six.

Those results brought even more people to the counter with parlays waiting to be cashed.

“There’s no sense in overreacting,” Vaccaro said. “When you get it handed to you, you can’t lash out. It’s just the way the gambling world is.”

Every season has a week where the favorites kill it. Frankly it's good for the industry. This whole season in both NCAA and NFL have been good for Dogs up until last week.

Both 2H overs (SB) in the grupo de muerte look good to me. I love the Champions League.Madrid/Dortmund o1.5 +100Man City/Ajax o1.5 +100

What sides do you like again? Madrid? Got them -220. What about Shalke -130?

Madrid and Malaga +250. I'm pretty bearish on AC Milan this year, although they had a nice weekend. But a win by Malaga puts the group away, so I'm assuming they're going to try to just take care of business so they can rest during the next two group play matches.I'd lock in Schalke -110, as that price opened at +105/+110 and has been going hard towards Schalke. Schalke's RW, Jefferson Farfan, gave Andre Santos fits (their backup LB). Of course, you or I could give Andre Santos fits. He's brutal.

I don't care if it's -10 with 3 feet of snow and a tornado. This is mid week Mac football.Actually I would care if it's very windy, but thankfully it wont be that bad.
 
I am in with you on 1H o34½ -115. I got in late on the full game o69½ -110 which coincidentally is also my favorite sexual position. I feel pretty good about all three. Although on the 69½ I normally prefer reduced juice.

Uncle Junior would agree with you.

Nice.

Seriously. Good luck to all those with the political wagers. I'm just happy to be back in Club Gooroo. Nothing can get me down today.
