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

I know it's KC, but has Vegas corrected itself on the Saints yet? I think I like the +9 a lot. NO hasn't shown they can stop anyone, and I think the Chefs can at least hang with them. Any thoughts? Betting against them seems like a good idea until they or Vegas rights the ship.

 
I believe the answer is YES

It's almost time for me to make a withdrawal from sportsbook. It's my first time doing so. Anyone have any helpful advice?
wire transfer used to be fairly quick
anyone know if they are more likely to cut your prop limits when you start making withdrawals?
Yes, maybe. But not immediately. My cut came months after my first withdrawl.

what was your average bet before the cut? What did they cut you to?

One thing to consider is that Cassel is a traditional QB, where the Saints losses came against RG3 and Cam who have the threat to run. Saints have still been awful so far. -9 does seem like a lot. If you held a gun to my head I would take the Saints...but I'm not playing a side in this.o53 is the strong play here IMO. Can't see the 1h over from my phone, but I'll likley play that as well.

Anyone know anything about these teams tonight?
I know that the power rankings that I use still say that Kent should be favored by a point and a half.They had 9 returning starters on defense and Phil Steele projected them to have the top defense in theMAC. That being said they haven't played very well this year and neither has Buffalo. Bovada has Buffalolaying 4 and I'd be playing Kent if I played a side, but I think it may be fairly valued and I'm reallylooking for larger line values, although as the season goes on that becomes harder and harder to find.I'm also looking at the under. 2 of the better defenses in the league, 52 is the number so you're stillover the key number of 51, had a couple of weeks to prepare. I may do a Kent/under VERY small parlay.
 
UB seemed to hang tight with Georgia in their opener. Bo Oliver ranks 3rd in the country in rushing yards per game. WR Alex Neutz leads the country with 2.5 receiving TDs/game. Their QB can run and pass.

Bulls gave up over 200 yards rushing to Georgia, and then did the same against Morgan State. Kent State's strength seems to be their rushing attack.

I guess the best bet for the under is a ton of rushing to keep the clock moving, but both of these schools put up 20+ points against SEC teams already. Seems like they should be able to hit that against a MAC defense.

I may go the other way and put a little on Buffalo and the over.

I think their showings against Georgia and Kentucky are already priced in to the over/under. I could be wrong, but I think just looking at what these two teams had coming back defensively, one wouldn't have thought the number would have been 52. Just my .02
 
I got Buffalo for a half unit earlier in the week and I'm happy that I did. I like Buff in this game but at 3.5 > It's a pass. B Olliver is a bad man. I'm not going to sit here and say he ran all over Georgia but he did give them alot to handle. Kent state wont see a better player the rest of the year.

Numbers down to 51 now...................I'll be sitting this one out. Should have played the under at 52.

Check worked fine for me. Flawless actually.
Yeah, I have had zero issues receiving a cheque from them and have had more than a handful of withdrawals over the years. However, despite sending the cheques via FedEx, they took about 3 weeks to get to my house. So...I hope you aren't in any hurry.Never had my props cut, but I rarely play them.
 
Do I need to be on a secret mailing list for prop plays?

Also, anyone got any good football tout sheets like the kind Jonny Detroit used to pass around? Those were fun reading. :thumbup:

Thanks.Not in a hurry. I think 5dimes, and probably some other online books/poker sites sometimes require a copy of your driver's license or other crap to withdraw money. I wasn't sure if sportsbook made you jump through any hoops like that.

They might. I seem to remember scanning/emailing them a copy of my license years ago, but honestly can't remember. Might be worth calling and asking or using their handy live chat feature. Checks went through no problem.

Drivers License/State ID card and a utility bill in your name at your address you have listed with them.
 
Hakeem Nicks ruled out for tomorrow night.

I bet these props without giving them much thought:

Cruz Yes TD (-105)

Cruz Over 6 rec (-130)

Cruz Over 85.5 rec yards (-115)

Bennett Over 3.5 rec (-135)

Bennett Over 40.5 rec yards (-115)

EDIT: also teased CAR +7.5/Under 57 at SB

EDIT TWO: :lmao: I'm all in here. Added:

Longest TD Under 50.5 (-115)

Giants Under 26.5 (-115)

1st half parlay: CAR +.5/Under 25.5

Manning Under 290.5 passing yards (-115)

Carolina +1

Giants are missing Nicks, Bradshaw, Diehl, Hixon on a short week playing on the road? They haven't looked that great so far this year anyway. Hopefully Carolina is up for the national tv showcase.

Braves -137 for more baseball fun.

Medlen has been probably the best pitcher in the game since the AS break,

the Braves have won something stupid like 15? games in a row that he's

started. I'll ride the horse until it breaks.

just under 1.4 units to win a unit.

what was your average bet before the cut? What did they cut you to?
I was betting to win a hundo on most of the GR props. They cut me back to the minimum, or 10 bucks max or something like that. I'll check later.
 
Props 7-9-2 - 4.26 units

Haven't looked at the other props yet, just saw Nicks was out and wanted to see what was available. Saw it earlier at -150 I assume it will keep going up or go to 4

Martellus Bennett (Giants) Total Receptions - Must Play

Over 3.5 (-160)

Sucks looks like a missed the boat on these as odds have already moved from what some of you guys got. Sucks not being able to do this stuff at work

Brandon LaFell (Panthers) Total Receiving Yards - Must Play

Over 51.5 (-115)

Brandon LaFell (Panthers) Total Receptions - Must Play

Over 3.5 (-125)

Imagine what Super Bowl XV must have been like? Eagles and Raiders fans in the same building....IN NEW ORLEANS, where everyone is drunk 24/7 in the first place.

 
I was going to wait till tomorrow to update my plays for the weekend but this line is moving fast so I want to put it out there now.

Wazzou -19 (now at -20.5) 2 units already booked might add another depending on how the week goes.

They are playing colorado. Seriously take a look at wht colarado has "accomplished" this year so far. Fresno state absoloutely destroyed them. They lost AT HOME to SACRAMENTO STATE! They even lost to colorado state who couldnt beat North Dakota and San Jose State.

Colarado couldn't be any more down right now. I think there is a real good chance the air raid puts 60 on them. If your going to tail I'd do so now because I think this is going to 21.

 
going on a limb and taking Temple +7.5 over Penn State. Any thoughts? I think Temple is very motivated, and would like to put this one under their belt that they can take down PSU

Ben Maller ‏@benmallerHow bad is Colorado's football team? Shocking 99% of bets are on Wash State -18.5 over Buffaloes this weekend. (Via Vegas Insider)
