FFA Wagering Thread: THERE HE IS!@! (4 Viewers)

Ugh. Freaking ball hits the 3B bag and it ends up a big inning. Verly is totally out of the inning without that fluke play. Not feeling good about my Tigers futures bet if they don't win tonight.

 
Regarding the World Series, I heard on the radio today that the last 3 times one team swept their LCS and the other team's series went 7, the team that went 7 went on to win the World Series. Dunno if that means anything, but there it is.
Yep, one of those years was 2006 when Detroit swept Oakland and St. Louis beat NY Mets in 7 games. Verlander had nine days rest and lost game 1 7-2 after giving up 6 ERs. Fast forward six years and Detroit swept the Yankees and SF beat St. Louis in 7 games. Verlander will be pitching on seven days rest.:DOCTORDETROITMELTDOWN: emoticon
Six days rest and Verlander was a rookie in 2006, not the best pitcher in baseball as he is in 2012. He's also not facing American League hitting in this series and is in a park that is even more pitcher-friendly than Comerica.
:popcorn:
 
I would imagine "SF to score first" returned a pretty penny.
$155 thank you.Eta: $160. Wife's bet.
Yeah, I am gonna lie about a $10 to win $16 bet that my wife makes. :)For future hilarity, she also took SF +150 for $10. Ooooo...Here ya go Sally:10/24 07:54 PM 1429585148- 1 Money Line Won $10.00 $16.00 Baseball MLB - San Francisco Giants +160 for Score 1st (Won)

Seriously what?
 
Just put 0.5u on DET +5.5 +135

Seems like a decent value and says they score one more run in 12 outs vs 9 for the Giants

 
Ronaldo at even money to score tomorrow (SB) is a strong bet.
IN
:highfive:
giggitythanks mang!~@~
Thank you sir may i have another--kevin bacon :banned:
Caught Ajax steaming today and got them at +250 (draw no bet) right before kickoff, literally at the last minute and couldn't post here.Also going to start tracking 2nd half totals in games where someone draws red in 1H. That's gotta be a goldmine.

 
Whoever turned me on to the +1800 for Giants winning the WS after being down 3-1...thank you.

Gonna hedge and take the wife to Sizzler.

 
Thank all you dudes for posting the SF plays. I put a grip o' cash on them like a gambling degenerate just before leaving the house tonight for the movies. You are brilliant handicappers. :thumbup:

That would be cheese. :thumbup:Edited to add that I didn't take it, but when I initially saw cheese's post it made too much sense not to take it but I was all tied up in NCAA/NFL wagers at the time. Great call though.

I had YES score in 1st inning at +140, :wub: kung fu panda!! Thought I missed my chance in the top of the 1st when det had guys on 1st/2ndGame line just opened det -120 o7 -120
 
Tonights action :

Bucs +7 (-135 :( )

TB/Minn under 42 1/2

Clemson -12 1/2

I locked in Clemson on Tuesday based upon power ratings that I use. I'm a little hesitant right now as a capper I follow is pretty strong on Wake. I'm debating buying my way out but I usually stick with my gut in these situations. I'd tread cautiously if I were tailing that game however.

Added Cincinnati +3 1/2

Campanaro: It’s a Go

On Tuesday, I heard Coach Jim Grobe tell the media assembled to eat chicken and talk football that Michael Campanaro might return from a broken hand to play against Clemson Thursday night.

On Wednesday, I stood at the wall with Steve Shutt, Willie Hawkins and Alex Kinal’s father, Xenon Kinal and watched Campanaro catch about a half-dozen passes without dropping one.

Earlier today I saw a tweet from Campanaro saying he will definitely play.

And I just got back from practice, where I got it from the horse’s mouth.

“I feel great,’’ Campanaro said. “One-hundred percent, I’ll be playing.’’

The odds aren’t great that Wake will beat the 14th-ranked Tigers. But they’re better with Campanaro on the field, especially with him going against a secondary riddled by injuries.

One regular cornerback, Darius Robinson, was lost for the season with an injured ankle sustained last week against Virginia Tech. Another, Bashaud Breeland, is expected to miss tomorrow night’s game with an abdominal strain.

Coach Dabo Swinney said on today’s ACC teleconference that Xavier Brewer and Garry Peters will start at cornerbacks. Brewer is a graduate student who has started five games and Peters is a sophomore who has started one game. link

 
I got a policy about betting under in NCFF that aren't played in the SEC. That said, does anyone think that USC/Zona is going to have more then 9 TD's?

I have Clemson for 1 unit as well, but I have buyers remorse. Boyd got the Tar beat out of him last week. Again - I Hate unders in NCAA, but I think Clemson runs the ball more then usual this week if WF will let them.

I am so good at this. it took :56 min for the line to move from -12 when posting this mia culpa post to having the line jump to -13.5 -115. What the hell happened? The the Wake Forest bus crash or something?I have Clemson for 1 unit as well, but I have buyers remorse. Boyd got the Tar beat out of him last week.

I can guarantee that Wake is going to try to play the ball possession game. That being said, Clemson's D is not very good. I'd stay away from the total.
 
One for tomorrow night. Nevada/Air Force Under 62.5 yards Longest Touchdown -115.

Nevada hasn't scored a 60 yard TD this year.

Air Force Scored one 60 Yard TD This year.

Nevada gave up one 60 yarder to Northwest State late in the 4Q.

Air Force gave up one 60 Yard TD to Michigan.

At close to even money I think this is good value. Both are run first teams who try and get chunks of yards 20-30 at a time. Not really a home run team.

 
Minnesota in the Wong's is a given, but anyone else have some angle's to shoot for tonight's games? I LOATHE betting on Clemson games. Should stay away entirely but the home dog is barking out my name: woof JTG...WOOF WOOF

nice research, tailing this one.
 
Why has the Minnesota line moved from 7 to 5.5? Tampa is horrible on the road, and the Vikings solid at home. What am I missing?

The Deacons rank last in the ACC and 115th in the nation in third down conversions. link

Clemson has been outstanding on third down. The Tigers are 60 of 115 on third-down conversions for a 52.2 percent success rate, which is ahead of the school record (51.6) in that category set in 1978. That was the only year Clemson has been over 50 percent in third-down conversion percentage. This season the Tigers rank 10th nationally in third-down percentage. link

 
Injuries are starting to pile up in the Clemson secondary, becoming a major cause for concern.

Swinney said the Tigers have been working wide receiver Adam Humphries at defensive back as "an emergency situation."

"We’re in dire straits right now as far as if we were to get somebody else injured," Swinney said. "If everybody stays healthy, the guys we’ve got are OK.”

link

 
DET +115 for the series seems like a good value. Am I missing something other than getting their asses handed to them last night?

Fister > Bumgarner so it should be tied up heading into DET for 3 games (unless Bumgarner really did fix his mechanics and suddenly has it all figured out)
