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

We should get good "value" on no safety with this years game. I'd guess a -800 seems pretty good, I bet it last year at that number and wouldn't be surprised to see it pop up with the safety occurring yesterday in the game. I know not everyone likes these bets but I don't mind some of them. I will not play no overtime.

I just hope we get the props like:

will there be an onsides kick

will each team lead by X amount

Stuff like that. Nothing was posted like that last year.

I think we should be betting No def/ST td. First, we get value since both teams scored one in the divisional game. Secondly, neither team has scored very many of given up many this year. Hoping for -150 or so.

This is one I search for every year it seems and can never find any info. Any help here? Odds the first coaches challenge gets overturned or stands?
Definitely interested in talking props - as for this, I can't find anything either, but if I do, I'll post.
 
Speaking of epic, these next two weeks are going to be killer. On one hand, we have all these new, wannabe Steelers fans in my area suddenly emerging. And on here, it looks like a whole lot of Packer nuthugging. I have no choice but to be booger buddies with Marshall for the next two weeks.

I am going to say a prayer that GR likes the Steelers to win (doubtful).

I will bet the Steelers, but with the multitude on props even if the Steelers lose by 20 you can still make money. Steelers/Under are my leans but that doesn't mean everything.

In the past I have posted a lot of prop thought/plays here and I don't generally get a lot of feedback until a day or 2 before the game. Just wondering if anyone is actually interested in it this year or I can just chime in from time to time.
Lets talk under seperate cover then.

How is this possible? Pitt has been a frontrunning team for the better part of a decade now.

Don't know, but it is possible...people who I thought didn't even know what a football looked like came out by the droves. By 10:00 a.m., I was tired of hearing about the game. One guy came in and told me that Big Ben should have been benched. Another said that Ike Taylor is the worst CB in the NFL. The best was the person who said that Mularkey should have been fired after the game.

I can already tell I'll do 4 units on side/total and 10-15 on props so I am more then interested in a discussion. I only play sportsbook so nothing is up yet.
 
Hockey prop time... Only two tonight from my pal. A three star play Weber U 3.5 shots (it's up to -150 already though) and a two star play Preditors U27.5 shots.

 
Missed Portland, oh well. Look at me, all disheveled and scrambling to get any kind of action, good god. Trying to occupy my ### #### head, just had to grab a xanny/vike/whatever and a beer, worst I've felt in a LONG time. Mixed so much booze in trying to pick up on this Emirates flight attendant who was buying mojitos and shots like it was srping break. Canucks score right aff the bat, great, I have the under.

Oooh, just noticed KOPITAR, nice! Buddy has a 1000 future bet on Pitt at 23 - 1, can't figure out how much he should hedge...

 
Took under in Canucks game.
As did I. Dallas goalie hadn't allowed more than two goals in his last seven games, gave up three in the first ten minutes. :wall:
Sorry man, stupid random bet trying to get some entertainment. It is kind of laughable, least we're out of misery early. :lmao: Playing with house money, easy to get careless waiting for the Superbowl now (for me anyway), after which I'll shut her down for the most part. What a weekend though, just remembered I have to go get my car, lol. When you coming out here again? :thumbdown:

Wasn't tailing you, just a coincidence that we both blew that one.

I think it'd be good for everybody if you guys to do it here, no? Any reason not to?

Well say it aint so... My buddy lost his first three star play in a month. I am watching the game, Weber has 4 shots in a 6 minute span after doing nothing for 23 minutes.

Glad I didn't tail, there was no way to actually, line was 3 and like -170 or something ridiculous like that. So much so I really considered going the other way. Is this guy moving lines like tgr does??

It's rare that he is ever on the othe side of a line moving, and he gets in early every day.
 
Christina Aguilera to sing the national anthem. The four I saw on youtube of her were (and if you have any discrepancy let me know, I did it quick):

<MP>

So I threw down a $20 progressive parlay last night on 9 NBA games. Completely forgot about it until I checked my account this morning. Notice my balance was higher than expected. Sure enough, I hit 8 of 9 with the only loser being Orlando. </MP>

 
2u Seton Hall +12.51u Marquette -4ytd 121-95 56% +20.55u
:thumbup: let's give it a go. i also took Flyers -1.5 +160.
I like the Hall to keep it semi close. Taking a chance with Purdue +7 and ML. Richmond +3 and ML. Drake +9 and ML. Missouri state is clearly the better team here but Drake took em down both times last yr at home. Mama said Donk you out parlay. flyers, penguins, hawks. 1.5 unit to win 3.6. Also trying a couple of sleepy dogs SU. Panthers +115 and Maple Leafs +175.
 
You guys seem to never bet against SacKings or PitFlyers. NTTAWWT
Thats funny. I try to never bet against the blackhawks but sometimes the spidey senses tell me I have too. I have no problem fading the Bulls, Bears, Whitesox when the matchups are right. I think the hawks skate well tonight.
 
four two star plays tonight from the hockey prop man.

Maple Leafs - Total Shots on Goal U 28.5

David Booth (Panthers) Total Shots on Goal U 4.5

Phil Kessel (Maple Leafs) Total Shots on Goal U 5.5 (likes this one a bit more then the rest)

Wild - Total Shots on Goal U 27.5

I need to get my buddy to call/write me sooner. Often he gets games .10-.20 better then I do.The Kessel over was a miracle. He had 1 shot going into the last minute of the 2 period.

Yeah that was a shocker...Thanks for posting whatever you can. I know I appreciate it. :thumbup:
 
Anyone ever chase steam by using a local who doesn't react as quickly to the line movement? I have heard mention of that before but never really tried it out in practice. I suppose it is less handicapping and more line shopping/timing.

Testing it out today, locked in...

Towson +19.5

Oklahoma State +5.5

St Josephs +4

George Washington +13.5

All 4 of those lines were still active at pinnacle until around 9:30 Eastern, but Pinnacle was adjusting from -105 to -110 and up to -119 on some of them. Local book doesn't keep up with those vig adjustments and just focuses on the point spreads. All 4 of them have recently started moving by at least a half point towards the favorites. Curious if anyone has had any success trying this in the past? Basically trying to get ahead of line movement with slower books so your bets are always getting an extra .5 or point more than the closing line. Seems like that slight advantage could add up over time.
