FFA Wagering Thread: THERE HE IS!@! (10 Viewers)

Is Jaws a total ######## or what? Vick puts it in Maclins hands and he can't keep his balance? WTF game is he watching?
no idea what Jaws said about it, but that throw was pretty high. looked like a great catch to me. sucked that he lost his balance afterwards.
Fantastic catch, Maclin -10.5 yards over roy williams, needed that catch for the W, I'll take it, could care less that he didn't get the first down
ditto at O60.5 yards...feel sorry for anyone that got on late at O63.5BTW - draftstreet trial run was a failure...close but no cigar
I think it's going to take a lot of time to figure out if you're a winner or not in these. This is all "theory" but I think the best way to play these is heads up salary cap. Playing heads up should reduce the variance.

:goodposting: I was doing 3 team leagues to find a medium between enough prize money to make it worth it, and reducing variance.

 
Early leans for next week (lines represent 6pt Teases) :

SD -0.5 vs OAK

THIS is the week SD throws that switch they always do around this time of the year. They almost got GB last week. This week they win at home. McFadden likely still unlikely to be playing.

BAL -1 @ SEA - (MOVING TO -0.5)

Emboldened by their win @ PIT, BAL takes their physical game to the west coast and walks away a winner.

GB -7.5 vs MIN

No way MIN can keep up with Green Bay at Lambeau

less favorable

STL +8.5 @ CLE

Purely a system play right now, but the addition of Lloyd opens up new possibilities for this team.

Eliminating because I just don't know which Rams team will show up... and they're on the road.
Going to play the other 3 by 2's and 3's for 2u each. None of the other lines are all that tempting to me this week. Terrible week for "system" teasers. Let's hope gooroo has some good plays this weekend :D 6.5pt Teaser:

SD -0.5 / BAL -0.5 / GB -7

yeah. byes need to be over quick
 
Any AZ homers got their take on the Arizona vs Duquesne CBB game tonight? At first glance, AZ -9 looks to be a lock with Duquesne not returning their top 2 scorers from last season but want to get some more thoughts on this.

The Texans should be on every teaser this week, they are going to run all over the Bucs.

Ehhh... I dunno. Sure you're getting 9. I get that. However Tampa has been pretty good at home, beating Atlanta and New Orleans. Houston is not exactly stellar on the road. Not saying it's a bad bet.. just a little leery. If it were in Houston it'd be another thing entirely but I don't trust HOU on the road in TB.
 
Does the short week hurt or help the offenses tonight in Oak @ SD?

Edit to add: Might not make much difference as they are division rivals and play each other twice a year so they are plenty familiar with one another was my figuring, but wondering if anyone has a different thought.

I think the totals favored the over last year on Thursday nights but not sure what they are historically. I wouldn't change any lineups worried about it being Thursday night if that is what you mean.
 
Somebody get a phone call on the Houston Total tonight? Went from 72 to 76.5 today so far.

I might play the middle if it gets over 77.

I don't disagree with the sides but I would have done a 7 pointer.

I actually was almost going to take the 7 pointer, but the only game I had in question was Texans +2.5 (instead of +3.5)...either way it is a pretty big gamble so I decided to go with the +1000 payout :thumbup:
 
2011 Quidditch World Cup (Sportsbetting)

Field +185

Middlebury are the prohibitive favorites (-125), and have won it the last three years in a row. But the field is getting huge, and the listed teams only include a fraction of the best teams. In the "field" are KU (#2), Emerson (#5), Rochester (#6), McGill (#8), Ives Pond (#9), Nova (#10), etc. etc.

I heard Nova's Seeker found out this week that he knocked up his cheerleader gf. Not sure his head is going to be in the match.

was thinking more of the total. FWIW, home teams on a Thur. have a huge advantage not having the travel but A) Oakland to SD is not a long trip and B) SD is home and already a full TD fave. I think I need to pass and maybe look for something during live betting if I get the chance.

Wow. Total is up to 77.5, first half total is up from 34 to 40. That's a big move from this AM.I'm placing a unit on each of the unders and going for a 50% middle.
 
I'm on the faves tonight...probably a recipe for disaster. lol

SD -6.5

VT -1.5

Houston -34

Blackhawks -150

Parlay

Islanders +110

Jets -105

Habs +130

Looking for a good prop for tonight...thought about Carson Palmer under 19.5 completions.

Thoughts?

Reason #1,397,374 why you always play for the middle when you have a chance.

Or they could score 45 points in the second quarter. Either way.
 
Those of you who said F**K YOU OAKLAND last week for losing to the Broncos and screwing teasers are now saying F**K YOU OAKLAND tonight for beating the Chargers and screwing teasers. Well you know what? Welcome to my life!!! It is maddening being a Raiders fan.

It's almost impossible to bet games involving this team. Sometimes I am so proud of them. Sometimes they look like the worst team ever.

:loco:

Because they lost at home to the broncos was a big reason I took Oakland. That had the look of a game they let get away. They also let Tebow remain relavent for a little bit longer.
