FFA Wagering Thread: THERE HE IS!@! (4 Viewers)

[modogg]

So who's gonna create the new thread .... this one is a Jan 2010 - July 2010 thread, and its August !

Not me, I got #####ed at for creating this one.Not enough iCred

This thread is fine going forward. Just remove the date from the title, Goober.

Maybe GR can make a new one, put out a bold statement to the books that he is looking to take all of their money and will not hold back EDIT: I am tempted to take the Marlins tonight againt Halladay and the Phils. +180 is a nice number considering Halladay has not bee that good on the road all year. May be coming on a little late with this trend though since i think he has been especiallty bad as of late on the road (decided to look it up "1-4 with a 4.68 ERA in that stretch and has lost his last three outings, posting a 6.75 ERA and allowing seven homers"). No Victorino, Utley, and Howard could be gtood for the Marlins. Of course over 7.5 is a possible play as well with the marlins starting West for the first time all year.

You may be right. I have to say the transition last year was tough. I was lost for a few days, wondering around like a little kid who lost his puppy.

Yankees -140

Like the Giants/Rockies O9, but not betting it.

Looks like a nice spot to bet the phils to me.

you're right because the Phils are good at winning when it looks like maybe they shouldn't and losing when they should win. I put $25 on the Marlins +1.5 when i first thought of it so it won't be too bad either way

LOL, nah just a bunch of things at once. 1. Huge merger that just wrapped up (1.5 years in the works)2. New kid (now 1 year old)3. Complete lack of interest in fantasy football.1 & 2 are settling in place nicely, still have no interest in fantasy football but thought I would come see how little this place has changed.

SF -104

GL and congrats lumpy!

 

[Clorox]

Congratulations on the new addition to the family, Lump! Hope everything went wall.

So far so good on the Pirates. This was a good spot to play them tonight. Just keep your fingers crossed that whoever pitches the 7th doesn't implode before they can get to Meek and Hanrahan.

6 week old boy here....you guys are in for some fun

 

[optionmaven]

Congrats to all you Daddyo's and soon to be Daddyo's.

My stupid intuition (and the fact he had won here 7 times in the past) made me bet on tiger this week. Ughh!!! I almost felt sorry for him a little out there. Totally out of sorts and seems to have the mental game of John Van De Velde at this point. Maybe he gets back in it with the early tee time tomorrow, but i doubt it. He looks like a total

broncos u7.5(-130) at betus

i played this when the lines came out at sportsbook at +105 and i'm adding more. the dumervil injury is a pretty major hit to that team. the espn guys said 2-4 wins which is completely ridiculous but i don't think 1 win is out of the question.

Depends what you think 15 sacks and constant double teams is worth. I'd say somewhere between .5 and 1 win is fair.

Yeah, man oh man what is in the water? Congrats to all the fathers and soon to be fathers, and hopefully the gamblin Gods can smile upon you and help build your kid's college funds

Same here. They probably are hurting for business because their book is junk. I told them I was still trying to clear their $25k rollover from two previous deposits. I also asked why the MLB lines for favorites jump 20 cents when I log in. Can't wait to get my money out of there.

The dude called me yesterday...mumbled who he was and what book he was calling for...said "we're offering a 100% match bonus." I stopped him (they never shut the #### up) and asked what book he was from, he said BetUs, and I just hung up no further questions. Not getting involved with their BS rollover policies.

I will use your referral if I sign up.

I still have .50 in my carib account. Going to take that to 10k starting with chalky favorites to show in 6 horse races. Wish me luck.

If someone feels charitable a referral to 41515 is appreciated lol.

1st bet in months

Hayward no 2b or hr -180.

 

[MarshallPlan]

I'm thinking about having the following books open for football season. Thought and comments more then welcome.

For sure:

Sportsbook - tons of props options

Bodog - same and original lines

Maybes:

Sportsbetting

Carib

5dimes

SIA - if I can bet through a "friend"

Matchbook - even though I never win there

Betonline - with lumpys bonus. Had them the past few years, not too bad.

Greek - had them for the super bowl last year, they are the prop originator in my eyes, so not sure I can win there.

I'm thinking 5 books for the season. 3 books from the maybes would be preferred.

Bodog - same and original lines

Maybes:

Sportsbetting - you should definitely have money here, live betting is always off

Carib - meh....props on national tv games in primetime, thats it

5dimes - yes, if you can only fund 1 book this should be it

SIA - if I can bet through a "friend" not worth the hassle

Matchbook - even though I never win there use you prop books to bet sides/totals etc, i wouldn't fund matchbook

Betonline - with lumpys bonus. Had them the past few years, not too bad.

Greek - had them for the super bowl last year, they are the prop originator in my eyes, so not sure I can win there. they have the softest props on the world wide web, softer that sportsbook.com

I'm thinking 5 books for the season. 3 books from the maybes would be preferred.

Thanks lumpy. Re: greek. Why do you think they are soft?

I have always thought of them being relatively sharp. They move lines quite a bit, so I guess others have confidence and bet into them.

Greek is relatively sharp book but not props. They open the prop lines, if you're there when the lines open it's party time.

Are you talking weak prop lines on football specifically, or hoops too?

I had no trouble crushing their prop lines, football or NBA. The problem with football is being around at open, it's usually friday night or saturday morning. You have to be sitting there when they open. If i was there great, if not no sweat, too annoying sitting at the pc refreshing constantly. The NBA lines I bet every morning, they posted at the same time every morning. You have to get them at open. they get beat into shape real fast.

And I just bet the slow moving lines at other books that copied the greek so I let you (and others) beat them into shape then I played with the move. And it generally did win.

 

[MarshallPlan]

Any other book have: which team to score 1st run bets on it? Greek no longer offers these.

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

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.

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.
