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

There he is!

Hiyo

Was just wondering where you been and if you drank yourself to death. Can't believe you missed the pick 6; that would've been one of the best rushes you'll ever get gambling. As each race unfolds and you get closer and closer, it is absolutely ####### nuts. You're lucky the longshot got nosed out in the last race, you woulda been kicking yourself and your family in the d ick.

Sucks - I got too drunk last night to comprehend private messages and/or FBG. I kicked myself in the #### today after you posted that it won. however, I am pumped for you

 

[BRONG]

I'm sure some of you degenerates have frequented the various sports betting forums out there through the years. What is the deal with 100 units, 50 units, 30 units? Why not just say $30 or one unit? Also some guy in one forum started a thread saying he had $100k and then is listing his plays. Unfortunately for him his math isn't very good and he's adding wins he never posted on the board to his totals. Guy is up to $160k now, lucky *******.

A unit is a standard bet for that person. Some folks bet $20 units..... some folks bet $1000 units. Multiple unit bets are an indicator of relative strength. If I say I have $100 on something it's a pretty big play for me. For someone like Lumpy it's probably nothing. And then the paranoia fiscal reasons as well.EDIT: NM I see the above. I agree with the 100 unit BS. It's all shock value / marketing I'm guessing

Also DD, a unit price varies for each bettor so what you are reading on here about when someone bets multiple units you need to realize that it can vary wildly and over time you should become aware of posters' actual unit size and their corresponding confidence on a particular game.

This. My 1 unit is my old hockey number. Completely random.

Actually, I was just trying to #### around with the good Dr by bringing it up again, but I'll still take it.

Did you read my subsequent posts? Not sure why people are giving me the definition of a unit, I guess I wasn't very clear. My whole point is that there a a lot of dumb gamblers out there, and a lot of them reside in these sportsbook forums. I was hoping there might be some content to help with tough calls, but there is nothing at all. Mostly just guys dogging each other for losing bets and the like.

I hear a lot about the covers forums and people losing their mind. I don't venture over to other boards very often if at all. I like the vibe around here where people don't get ragged on for bad plays. Especially since I post so many bad plays. Must be pretty fun to watch. Might have to make it a habit to check in over there on Sunday nights.

My linkThis guy has started like 20 threads with 5 aliases in the various forums on the same topic. Entertaining for tonight but not sure how anyone could stand reading this bs on a daily basis.

ETA: Mods pulled the threads. Anyway...it was one guy dogging this other guy for losing 450 baseball units and saying the guy locked his kids in the basement and didn't feed them, etc.

lol, reading those other gambling forums has fried my brain tonight. I've never read so much shitbaggery in one place in all my internet life.

exactly. positivity builds on positivity. keep it positive, focus on what's good, be thankful and win wagers.

 

[Billy Bats]

From what I know growing up...

1 unit= $100

dollar bet = $100

nickel bet = $500

down a dime = -$1000

I was thinking how crazy it would've been on here watching/posting about each win; that woulda been one for the books. I get crazy superstitious...and moreso as each race go by. And since not a single GB here jumped in, I didn't want to post about it and what was transpiring. I was holed up in my apartment. A neighbor came by because he heard me screaming and here I am in my boxers still late in the afternoon and I would only talk to him through my sliding glass screen door. Wouldn't let the guy in or near me. Then had the audacity to ask him to get me beers but leave them on my porch.I am going to post the photo of the 45 year old Filipino quarter horse jockey that cost me 80 thousand dollars. You have to see it. Not so much to see the losing margin but because it also shows him patting the horse because that's all the loser could do with no ####### whip.

I know someone said they hate bad beat stories and kinda agree but you said you like them...and, no, I'm not over it, sorry. BTW, Ramon Guce is his name and I demand a cage match..

AZ State over 16.5 2nd half -115.

LOL, not really, and sorry to hear. I hope what you're talking about is mostly the breakup. If so, you're fine, get some perspective GB. If it's more than that...then I don't know what to say because I have no clue what's up!

I'm already on Cal at -4, but it's purely an action play.Also, I don't want to toot my own horn but let's be real nobody knows how I like it tooted like I like it tooted, but assuming Creighton holds on to win that's a 3-0 day.

LSU -11South Carolina +4.5Stanford pick'emOklahoma -8 and -6.5Louisiana Tech +4.5W Virginia -1Michigan/Ohio State OVER 55

Adding Georgia/Georgia Tech UNDER 64 2U Looked at this one earlier in the week and forgot to dig into it further. Georgia has the 18th best scoring defense and Georgia Tech has been running up their point totals on some very inferior defensive competition. BYU is probably the best defensive team they've played and they scored 17 points. Georgia scrimmaged against Georgia Southern last week who runs the same O as Ga Tech, I think that will help them here and Georgia has just played superior competition all year. Highest total for this game in a long time, last year they combined for 48. I say Georgia 35 Ga Tech 17 with some room to give.ETA: Units

 

[Bogart]

Getting my SB account funded is becoming more of a PITA than my marriage was.

Bank card didn't work. Got a VISA gift card, it didn't work. So now I have a nice gift card funded. Found an Online Prepaid Card today. Got all excited, put money on it. Got home and activated it. Now I have to wait 7-10 days for my "real card" to show up before I can make any online/international purchases.

Maybe I will be ready for the NEXT NFL season.

/rant over

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Bogart, I'd try 5dimes.

Or maybe try calling SB or your bank?

Or sign up with Kurt

Arizona State in complete meltdown mode here.

 

[Raider Nation]

Lightly on AZ State ML.

I never like to see my wagering thread brothers lose money, but if you do, take heart in the fact that Arizona State coach Todd Graham is a weasel/snake/lowlife/dishonorable man. Not enough bad things can happen to him.

 

[Frostillicus]

CBB Tomorrow:

SMU -3.5

 

[BRONG]

Nice Frosty.

Okay, off to a birthday bash for a 50-year old "chick". Not even a cougar anymore. Hen? And I'm excited about it. I'm done.

 

[mquinnjr]

OK gents, so ND -5.5 vs a 7-4 team sans Barkley on the road is a gift, no? I am also factoring in getting teeth kicked in on previous matchups (9-1 non NCAA vacated) and the final barrier to a NC game.

USC wins outright IMO.

Still have no idea why people think this (stuckey on them too FWIW). Public loves USC but maybe they didn't watch UCLA just dominate them last week, it was pretty bad. Now you throw a new QB out there against a top five defense in the country and they are the team to beat? I just don't buy it, I want it to be true but wanting it to be true doesn't mean it will happen.

 

[ChainsawU]

I have been saving a lot of money recently by bartering. The only thing I have to trade is three secrets that are guaranteed to make you irresistible to the opposite sex. So far I have gotten four free meals and a pass for free mini golf on Tuesdays.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Wow this Rashawn Ross guy for ASU is just killing us. Drops two TD passes on the same drive.

 

[modogg]

i don't watch much college football at all, but man is is different than the NFL. Way to let the ball go through your hands and hit you in the head there buddy. I feel bad writing that because that guy has to feel horrible, but i would be embarrassed to even go back to the huddle or the bench after that.

Call it a hunch. H-U-G-E spot for the Irish, to say the least. They haven't had pressure like this in two decades. I think they crumble. Not too worried about the backup QB angle. Every QB on SC's roster had scholarship offers from hundreds of schools. Hopefully talent >>> lack of experience. Lastly, I simply do not believe in Notre Dame's offense, which is the single-biggest reason I see the upset.

I hear ya man, I want to play USC but just think it's the wrong side. This is coming from a guy who watched botht he Michigan and Pittsburgh games whistle to whistle, Notre Dame definitely can be had. But they DO HAVE a legit D and this is a tough spot for a raw QB. Add in USC's D which has looked horrendous this year and I'm I am thinking I might try the under 46.5 though. What do you think about that?

 

[Raider Nation]

Seems like a very reasonable number to play the low.

recovering that fumble was agonizing
