Manchester City/Liverpool Over 2.5 goalsAlso Manchester City -115 Still looking at Barcelona/Real Madrid game...Total is 3, which I dont like....2.5 is a gimme over. I think I like Real Madrid +1

Sportsbook has Barcelona/Real Madrid O2.5 -250. It was -222 a minute ago.

WTH does this mean?

Over 2,2½ -135

Half your bet is o2 and half is o2.5lands on 3+ you sweep, lands on 2 you only lose half your bet

 

[Raider Nation]

Thanks. Wish they'd do that for football.

Wish I had that line. Real Madrid cannot sit back. Its attack city...and Barca will definitely get some counter opportunities. I may just bet the over 3 for the hell of it.

It was 2-1....And its an aggregate score type thing, so going into this game Real Madrid is down 2-1....tie breaker is away goals, so RM cannot even just win 1-0...then they tie aggregate and lose on away goals.They have to win by 2 goals or lose 4-3 or something like that. Things get dicey in the second half of these games.

What's your point? They were only dog to STL. That they only covered as a dog? Early line on 2004 was NE -2.5 and moved all the way to -5.5 at gametime. Only SB middle that I can recall.

they've never covered as a favorite, only as a dog. seemed like a pretty straight forward point.ErgoNew England was better off being dubbed the dog in this one...

In 2004, against Carolina? This line was 7. The other sb middle was cowboys/pitt, I want to say super bowl 13? Opened Pitt -3, closed -4.5 and the game hit 4. or maybe that was super bowl 10? One of those Cowboys/Pitt super bowl's was referred to as black sundays by some sportsbooks.

especially English fans. was on a plane going to Vegas one time and was in 1st class. was talking to the stewardess and she told me (this was for the Hatton fight in Vegas) that 1st class was all guys from England flying over for the fight the previous day. they drank ALL the booze and beer on the plane and by the end were finishing off the wine.

HUGE game tonight for the Maryland Terrapins vs Duke...former Nat'l Championship HC Gary Williams will be in attendance, as they dedicate the field house in his name. Everyone who's anyone MD Alumni, basketball program and otherwise will be there, MD always gets up for this game and gives Duke a fight, new HC Turgeon was hand-picked by Gary and gets it, in terms of the hype and importance of MD/Duke rivalry. Could be closer than 10-11 points...

I'll be there and Maryland ALWAYS gets up to play Duke. Even with that being said, we're just not very talented this year. We turn the ball over too much, have no offensive balance, and have mental lapses on defense. I would love nothing more than a Maryland win (and subsequent riot in College Park), but we're just mismatched in every way.

The opening sentence on the bio page of Birdman's official website reads: "With all of his elaborate possessions - from jewels to cars and homes; his cash money making ventures- from music to videogames to shoes and clothing; Bryan 'Birdman aka Baby' Williams is poised to continue shining in everything he does."He once told Forbes magazine he tries to wear $1 million worth of orthodontics and jewelry every day.He keeps at least that much cash under his mattress.So, no, it's not surprising that Birdman wants to wager $5 million on the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI.The hip-hop artist revealed on Twitter this week that he plans to bet that figure on Tom Brady and the Pats to win next Sunday against the New York Giants. The message was both semi-incoherent, semi-profane and written with capitalization rules normally found in ransom notes, so we won't link to it here. Roughly translated, it says: "I like New England because BenJarvus Green-Ellis is my nephew. I plan on wagering $5 million on the game to anyone who wants the action."Birdman told Billboard earlier this month that Green-Ellis is his brother's son and I'm going to take him at his word because he has face tattoos. Still, having family on the team seems like a bad reason to wager 5 percent of your net wealth on the outcome of a game. Somebody is Rex Grossman's uncle too, you know?The rapper earned $15 million in 2011 according to Forbes and has been known to talk about his gambling exploits. He says he lost $2 million on a Miami Heat bet last year, but won $1 million on the Green Bay Packers in the Super Bowl. Birdman has his sights on bigger wagers in the future. He vowed to bet $10 million on Floyd Mayweather whenever he fights Manny Pacquiao.Tweet the photos of your betting slips or it never happened, Birdman.

I'm not an expert but was just looking at that game. Michigan State hasn't won by less than 9 at home. That includes wins over Florida St.(by 16), Indiana(15), Iowa(34), and Purdue(25). I'm gonna play MSU.
