FFA Wagering Thread: THERE HE IS!@! (7 Viewers)

Late to the game but I like the over tonight, even at 37(i'm guessing it'll drop again before kickoff)Also getting in as many teasers as i can :excited: :excited: :excited: :excited: :excited: :excited: :excited:
Lump I don't think the 3 and 7 are worth as much in the preseason. You still tease the same way that you do in the regular season?
Pretty much. Because of the difference I tease games sitting on +3 -110 and i'll also tease anything on 4/4.5 I usually use the total as my guideline. With totals so low it's almost always right to tease ever dog.The list for this weeks gamesazbufbalgbdentbnyjclenyghoutendalI only did all the az legs, i'll wait til thursday to do the rest to see if any lines have moved.ETA: I mentioned this before but just in case, my bet size is 1/5 of a reg season teaser bet for week 1 preseason. week 1 preseason has been rough for a few years now but i have no idea if it's bad luck or something real

:lmao: i'm laying on my couch like a fat-### getting these in, and i think i strained something in my shoulder typing in so many. Luckily before i wore down i put in:Arizona +9 and ov 31.5ETA: i know teasing overs is absolutely dopey, but i was thinking the score would only have to be something like 17-14 to hit :bag: I love when i fail at 1st grade math

Both Atletico Madrid (+400) and Valencia (+300) offer a lot of value right now on Sportsbook's "La Liga Winner w/o Top 2" future. That's because the team they have listed as their current favorite, Malaga, is completely falling apart because of debt, and are already selling off their best players.

Looks to me you bet them to win the league. He wanted you to bet them to come in 3rd place behind Barcelona and Madrid.

Right. There's a special section for "Spain w/o Big 2."

Scab refs working the Hall of Fame game Sunday. Reports from camps are that they are "in awe" of NFL players. Not sure what that means as far as how the game will be called. Reluctance to call penalties would be my guess. What the hell.... OVER!
ONE penalty called in the 1H. Holding on the punt receiving team which moved the ball all of 6 inches.I like the looks of this.

:wall: i knew those lines were mighty generous. well, let's hope either one can win the league as well :popcorn:
 
I shut it off... Do I even want to know?
No... :kicksrock: At least I am still + with RN from the Thunder-Spurs series fiasco, maybe we need more of RN shenanigans to pull in some money.It was close though. I do agree taking 2nd half unders may not be a terrible idea, if they are going to look like this one did today. I really don't watch much pre-season, but I would have thought you would have more guys getting caught on pump fakes, etc. and getting burned by guys with some good speed, but i guess not

At least lumpy's first teaser leg of the year came in. :excited:
 
Arizona Diamondbacks -108

Backing all-star Wade Miley in this one while ARI gets another lefty to destroy, Eric Bedard, who is tied for the most losses in the MLB.

 
Just looked at all of my pending bets. If anybody want to help a brother out here, feel free to vote for Obama. I think I am on the right side, though I also think politics is for the birds.

I have a unit on Obama -150. He's starting to pull away some, I think it would take a pretty major scandal to make this close.

I got a ton. And got some horrendous lines. it looks like on 4/26 I got it at -350 :shock: . So with that, i have 4 figures on it. Anybody with any actual news with these would be great. I check the political threads and soon run for my life after i see the debacle in those threads. So anybody in the know, what do you got?

-350? I can't imagine the odds were that long at any point this election cycle? One of the weeks gooroo couldn't miss I put a bunch of stuff down including 6 units at -150

Last site I saw he had "a 60% chance of winning", translated to actual odds somewhere around 2 to 3?
 
a bunch of my olympics stuff is on the old RB site. Is he grading them by hand?
I'm with you, I've been trying to get an answer out of kurt on this. I've got olympic futures and a pile of NFL futures and I didn't write any of them down, transition happened so fast and I was away from a computer when it all went down. I'm sure kurt will take care of it but I hate not knowing what to root for in the olympics!!
Just wanted to update this, kurt got it all sorted out as usual.

fivethirtyeight.com seems to be the best in the business, despite the protests of BGP. I think they correctly predicted 49 out of 50 states in 2008, and had the correct popular vote percentage. They currently have 72.4% to win. If you believe that number, -150 is really strong. I don't think there's any plausible way that Obama loses if he hangs on to Ohio.
 
whoa, preseason started?

Who is taking preseason teasers? I sort of forget if sportsbook waved them off.

Isn't it time for a new thread?

All over USA(W) soccer today, -1 -139 and -1/-1.5 +104

any of you soccer nerds want to chime in on how awesome this bet is?

thanks

 
Kansas City Royals +205

KC is 3-3 vs CHW this year so I thought I would take a shot at this price.

Fading Sale after he missed his last spot in the rotation because of what Robin Ventura said was “probably fatigue and he's just tired.” As of Jul 27 Sale has already pitched more innings (124) than he pitched in 2010 (23.1) and 2011 (71) combined.

On July 15, in this same matchup, Sale allowed a season-high 10 hits and 1 run in 8.0 innings. Mendoza allowed 4 hits and 2 runs in 7.1 innings. White Sox won that game 2-1.

Mendoza has quality starts in 7 of his last 9 outings and hasn’t allowed more than four runs since Apr 15. And I would rather be backing the better KC bullpen if this game is close in the end.

I hit on Japan but was contemplating passing on U.S. b/c of price. May lay down a little baby bet on -1. :banned:
I spent about 5 minutes on sportsbook but couldn't even find a line on this game other than US ML (-278) and a bunch of other prop bets.I bet on Canada to get shut out though.

That +205 is nice...but I think O8.5 might be the play
 
I would probably try Oakland +140 if my card wasn’t already full.

LAA are flying across the country to play the 10PM game in The Coliseum after not having a day off in eleven straight days, and are coming off two straight series against first place teams.
