Sorry Wick, I can't play. Was more just making fun of myself at sucking at FF. I see how my wording implies that I wanted to play, sorry about that.

Not even fair. The Red Sox are the retarded kids on the playground getting their Animal Crackers stolen every day.Anyone paying attention yet?'modogg said:Great minds think alike'Raider Nation said:'modogg said:Weird. I came in here now to post the exact same thing.
Saying they are "going through the motions" would be giving them too much credit. They have quit.

Padres +145 looks like a good value to me.

Obama to win WI -135 2u
I imagine the line on this moved so much because Ryan's from WI, but he doesn't enjoy anywhere near universal popularity in a traditionally blue state. 538.com has Obama at 77% to win. I think this is a lay-up.

Looking over the card for week 1 what is the most uncomfortable bet on the board?IMO Ten +6/6.5 is so uncomfortable....which means it's probably the best bet on the board. I've learned that the more uncomfortable I am with a bet the better the bet is in the NFL, not sure that theory applies to other sports.

Not a great opening weekend of CFB but there were a few bets I was on the right side of with the wrong outcome, Michigan St. primarily, which cost me 2 units.
Record after the weekend is 8-10 -3.7 units.
Couple of early NFL plays, I'll probably play some teasers as well, just waiting and watching.
So far playing
Giants -4
Ravens -6
Kind of like the Bills, Chiefs and Rams this weekend as well, I'll watch those lines for a while though.

I think that pats o line is scaring people, and it should. I got pats -6.5 for 6 units and I'm scared.

Two questions: 1) If sending via MoneyGram, do you verbally tell them this promo code when calling in the transfer number?2) Any rollover requirement?

I hope so. Would be great is the Red Sox can make up for all my Phillies and anti-braves futures. I wimped out today and only grabbed Seattle -110, instead of the run line. Pretty sure i will play this everyday until i get burned a few times

Figured i'd post this in here. I've had a 5dimes acct for several years and I've never been cut on my reduced juice menu. I've had props and other small market stuff reduced but have always been able to bet $500 on the reduced juice menu. I've also never made a withdrawal from 5dimes, i've always used book to book transfers to get money out, send it to bookmaker/heritage/etc Today I had to request my first withdrawal and my limits have already been cut on the reduced juice menu.
I also had my props cut from 100 max to 50
I don't care much about the props but the reduced juice reduction sucks, feel like I printed money on baseball totals there

Granted you and I are totally different players, but there may be a silver lining for you. I have had that happen before and it reverted back to normal within a day or so. And the wagers it affected were usually plays that were experiencing a high volume. Regardless, it does suck and I feel your pain. But if they didn't officially notify you that you have been cut hopefully it will revert back. Or maybe just contact Tony..?Figured i'd post this in here.

You fellas tryin to shoot a 2H middle here?
The Ref
Footballguy
Look up.Never met a middle I didnt' like
optionmaven
Footballguy
I understand the middling, but when i saw what i saw out of those 2 defenses (and offenses for that matter) in the first half, i wouldn't touch an over that needs 3+ t.d.s. I haven't watched all of it though, as i'm making sure the white sox finish off my daily fade the cubs play the white sox parlay. Looks like i might catch a three teamer too with the red sox fade in there.

Overtime after a HORRIFIC offensive display for 60 minutes.

Would a final score of 38-6 surprise anybody? Tannehill with his first NFL start, on the road, against a good defense, in his home state.No thanks.
The Ref

OK week one didnt go quite as planed. Well Friday night did, but Saturday was a disaster. Tonights Vat Tech under and .5 2H over tied me back up at 6-6 for the year. Already got some bets in for week 2.
Nevada -1 for 2 units
I dont know if any of you caught the Nevada V Cali game this past weekend. Nevada pushed around Cali. It's that simple. Fajardo and Jefferson look great in the box score, but the OL looked fantastic. They went up and down the field all game long against Cal. USF aint a bad little team it its own right. But I KNOW Nevada can beat a team like Cal. At home laying 1? Count me in.
La tech -3.5 for 2 units
They missed game 1 vs Texas A&M due to the storm. Colby Cameron is going to be a break out star this year IMHO (and others in here whos opinion I trust). But lets cut to the bone and get right down to it. Anyone actualy see the Houston game this past week? They were absolutely awful. If it wasnt for the ONE bad tackle by texas state Houston would have been shut out. TEXAS "First year in FBS" STATE! Strong posibility that I bump this to 2 units before gametime. F it - I just did.
Ark State -22.5 for 1 unit
Ark State had the honor of getting destroyed by the Ducks this past week, but they did bounce back after the 1Q and put up some points. They cant hang with the big boys and I suspect that the Ducks are going to make good teams look bad this year. Aplin is a very good QB and Ark St should with the conferance. Memphis on the other hand is awful. They lost.... at home.... to a non FBS team. Tenn-Martin. 22.5 is a fair amount of lumber, but I think Ark St is up 28-0 at the end of Q1.
Indiana -13.5 for 1 unit
Indiana is a mediocre Big ten team at it's best. Umass is the team that had 6 yards at halftime vs Uconn. Any questions?
Fla Int -23.5 for 1 unit.
I feel the least strong on this pick. 23.5 is a lot of points to lay vs a team that game up almost 50 to duke. But I suspect that the Fla Int D is going to be one of the best this year and will in the picture for the conferance title. Akron on the other hand might be the worst team in FBS. Worse then Houston, worse then Memphis, worse then Umass (OK , maybe not Umass). Now thats saying something.

Yeah. It is real easy to think that. But Miami's D has some talented dudes on there don't they? And Tannehill knows what's up with this offense.I guess more than anything the supporting cast on offense is the biggest question mark. But with all the other options on the board you are probably right about avoiding.
The Ref
Footballguy
Somehow I was able to get 2 units of Texans -6.5 a few months back.. Easily my best bet on the week 1 slate. I'm all set with Miami unless we are talking > 14.
modogg
Footballguy
I agree, the play is either Houston or avoid. I don't see anyway Miami can stay close. Foster, and Tate if needed, will run over Miami all day. And if for some reason they load 8 in the box, a healthy Schaub and AJ will score at will on the Miami CB's. And I haven't seen anything from Tanehill that makes me think it will be close. I also think they won't get to run much because they should be down all game

some tennis:
Kohlschreibber +170 over Tipsarevic - I would have put these two as even odds here. A true toss up IMO and that line is pretty valuable.
Del Potro -300 over Roddick is great value too. Del Potro is going to romp A-Rod IMO.
