LAA -1.5 +105: CLE has Masterson starting who has been awful on the road and CLE had to fly out to California overnight and the team is imploding. CJ WIlson rights the ship tonight. 2 units

So is this the year we finally do a weekly pick em contest against the spread?Or did one end up going last year? I think Derek may have run one previously.It's about time we do something of that nature.50 bucks a man? Every game - against the spread for the entire season?
I ran one last year that was $25 a man I think...Had about 20-25 people in it. I may have come in dead last.It came down to the final week I remember.

:bag: Yup. it was a 3-man race for the last week or 2, and i forgot to put my picks in one of those weeks. i think i was real hungover or something and missed the 1:00 games. That sucked :thumbdown:

I thought it was you, but I didnt wanna call you out.About halfway through I just started taking all dogs or all favorites hoping for a statistical anomaly to get me back in it. PLUS I then knew who to root for!!
 
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
Yup, I don't know how it happened, but it can go on the long list of late night bets i made that make no sense :bag: And I don't have the cajones to set foot in any of those cesspool political threads, but i found it interesting that the announcement was supposed to give Romney a boost and the line actually moved in the other direction for Obama:Obama -250Romney +190I could hedge nicely at this time (except for that stupid -350 i got some at), but i think i will ride this one out. :popcorn:
 
I think Obama -160 to win WI presents a ton of value. Silver's model didn't change much with Ryan added on, he still has Obama as an 80% favorite to win.

Ryan's favorable/unfavorable in WI are 38/33. Not like he has the state in his hand.

 
Just put a little on the Ranger to win the cup next year at +500. Seemed like good value. Any thoughts from the hockey guys? And I am not sure if it is even that good of a bet, I am just glad i didn't choose to put any money on the Flyers

they look pretty strong to me. not sure 5:1 is great value, but they have the pieces to make another good run at it.

Will Nash make as big of an impact on that team as most people expect?

I think so. Playing with an elite setup man like Richards should get him back to the 50-goal range.

Well, great call on taking the hedge with the Mets RL. Still ended up, so you have to love that. Nice job either way :thumbup:
It sucked. Took me until today to get over it. 7 units for the good guys though. Wish I could have played ML where I could have got even money at least.

They have the Wild at +1500 which surprised me. I thought the push they got this summer would have had them closer. Not saying they will even get near the Cup, but i thought that was interesting. They have the favorites as Pittsburgh and Vancouver, both at +350. The other one that had me interested was the Blues at +900. I just don't know enough about that team, but they seemed to have their act together last year and seemed to be looking to go on a real good run.

I know they aren't fun, but they always can get worse. And you have some golf coming up right, you'll make it all back there I'm sure

I'm here to rain on your paradeAlways check pinnacle before placing a futures bet, they'll have the best prices pinnacle nhl futures

they have +857 for the rangers

With that said I think you're insane placing a hockey future right now, hockey is the one sport more than any other where seeding doesn't matter, it's a free for all in the playoffs. I'd guess you could wait the entire season and right before the playoffs start you could get better than +500 on the rangers

 
Random, but I was just looking at the NFL lines on my Australian sportsbetting website (sportsbetting is 100% legal here - they even have a retail business called TAB where you can just walk in and bet like buying a soda).

Anyway, randomly some of the lines are way off the American ones. I have no idea what the American line is on this, but I like this:

Peyton Manning O/U passing yards - 4,450

He's only done that 3 times in his career. Given all the changes/aging/risks I'm liking the under here.

If anyone's interested in checking out the bets:

http://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/american-football

 
I had one play on todays afternoon baseball card. Marlins/Phillies under 24.5 runs, hits, errors. Sailing along, well under, and then the marlins put up a 6 spot in the bottom of the 8th. Classic.

 
It's reload time at all the sportsbooks, I'd recommend hitting up live chat before making any deposits anywhere, lots of great bonuses out there this time of year.bookmaker and DSI both offering deposit $300 and get 100% fp sports and 50% casino up to $300, also a $50fp for who wins superbowl nfc or afcYou can make lots of money this time of year just depositing at sites and breaking even on bets.betusa.ag(a sportsbook skin) 20% CASH signup bonus and 5% CASH on every reload. They have +180 on 3 team NFL teasers....I grab my CC and deposit 1k repeatedly. Getting 1% cash back on my CC, $200 bonus on first deposit and $50 on every deposit after that, NO LIMIT on the bonuses.
I always thought that betting big favorites on "draw no bet" seemed like an efficient way to clear bonuses, or the ML on big favorites in general (CFB, when they're offered). Barcelona, for instance, is -5000 this weekend. Man City is -2500. You could churn through a lot of money without ever exposing yourself much (or making much on the bets alone), it seems. thots?
Most sites take the lesser number towards rollover, riks 5k to win 100, only 100 counts towards rollover, riks 100 to win 5k only 100 counts towards rollover
Who has an easy to enter teaser interface? I'm sick of getting carpal turnnel while raping sportsbook.
 
Fade Athletic Bilbao, who are selling off their two best players before this weekend:

Real Betis +325

ETA: Apparently the reports of Llorente to Juve are premature, but probably still not a bad bet given that both him and Martinez have a good chance of being gone by this weekend.

The Manning U looks pretty good. I really like the Schaub U 4430.5. That HOU defense is much better now. The days of him throwing for 4500 are over in my mind. That would be a large bet for me. He was on pace for about 3900 last year. Rivers U 4700.5 is a pretty good bet also.

Honestly I don't know. I had over 300 bets across several accounts....mixed in with all my other bets. I think 4 legs lost, probably pretty close to a wash or a small loss. stepping up to 1/2 teaser unit this week so i'll be paying closer attention.

Those are my favorite!! I lost one a few years ago, I know GB was involved and back to back TAINTS in the final 2 min, one of the worst gambling moments of my life, i can still picture it.

I try not to go out of my way to sweat a bet that I wouldn't be watching otherwise. Usually I just look at my balance at the end of the night.
 
college football anyone?W1 games that intrigue me:Scar -6.5 @ Vandy (opening night - feels like I trap)Tenn @ NCSt. +4NW -1.5 @ Syracuse
Not for nothing I already posted 5 Iron pipe locks for week 1. You will be happy to know that all 3 of these made this list along with Houston -37 and Iowa -6.5.
Well tenn moved against us to 3.5 by that's not a critical number. Iowa went right through 7 to 7.5 and SC is now at a solid 7.
 
i love 2 MMA bets that aren't until December. They were posted today and moving like a forrest fire, so grab 'em if you want. Worst case you can probably arb out of these by the time the fights come, more likely with Gus than Diaz:

Nate Diaz +190 (over Henderson)

Gustaffason -145 (over Rua)

4.5 is just a preseason thing, doubt i'll be doing that during reg season

Worst part is i even kind of knew this from all the betting i did this year during the NHL playoffs :bag: . I get that late night itch, and feel like i have to play something. Funny enough i never have the energy or time to put in all the teaser legs, that would seem to be the time to throw a couple in.
 
Anybody interested in a pick 'em league for $150 entry fee. I have done it for years, and the guy who runs it is legit. you basically pick 5 games a week with the spread, and winner at the end of the season gets most of the pot. It is a good deal, and the guy has good records of everything. I recommend it, so let me know if anyone has any interest and i can email you the info. There was one year there was a guy who tore it up, and i made some good money tailing his picks for my "real" plays for the week. He feel back to earth last year, but it was a nice side benefit to the league.

Just let me know, and i can send you the email. The guy is legit, so no worries there

I was going to say Saints and Miami, I believe 2 years ago. Miami up huge in the 1h, maybe 21-3 and then a Tracy Porter pick 6 late in the game.
