FFA Wagering Thread: THERE HE IS!@! (14 Viewers)

There is one of those nerd halls on one of the side streets in Pawtucket near McCoy Stadium. All hours, there are packs of dorks in and around this tiny building, waiting to play Dungeons and Dragons or whatever twisted shit they play. And 90% of them weigh north of 400 lbs. It's truly a remarkable sight.

I know exactly where you're talking about, played in a few chess tournaments there in college :bag: .Not in a great area really. Then again, none of Pawtucket is a great area.

man, i can't tell you how much i love to run into those and just people watch. I love to go to the comic books stores and act like i am looking through the comics just to spy on the dudes in the back playing those D&D games. I honestly can't get enough of it.

 
Since Apr 23, 2013, the Bruins are 14-1-2 O/U after allowing zero goals in their previous game (7-0 O/U when the total was 5.5).

Divisional Sharps

BALTIMORE RAVENS at NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (4:35 ET Saturday on NBC)

The first numbers up offshore were New England -7.5. The first money in was on the dog because of the importance of the key number of seven. That inspired most straggler stores to go up with Patriots -7 as their opener. That’s where it is right now. Sharps would definitely fade any public move off the seven toward the Patriots. It’s very hard to see this game dropping below seven unless there’s a late injury story or the public just doesn’t come in as actively as expected. The best expectation is either a tug-of-war between New England -7 and Baltimore +7.5, or a stable seven through the day.

The Over/Under has dropped a point from 49 to 48 because it’s still very cold in the Northeast. Temperatures are likely to be in the teens…and the wind chill could be worse here than it will be Sunday in Green Bay. Some stores are testing 47.5 as we get closer to kickoff. The public usually takes Overs in the playoffs because they like rooting for points. They may not be in the mood to do that this weekend in the frigid cities.


CAROLINA PANTHERS at SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (8:15 ET Saturday on FOX)

Seattle opened at a very high price of -11.5. Early money in was on the underdog, so we’re seeing Carolina +11 most everywhere now. This Seattle team has a tendency to play down to its competition this season…which may keep squares off the defending Super Bowl champions at such a high price. Many old school guys always take double digits in football. That contingent will definitely be on the dog here. I’m not hearing a lot of passion for the Panthers otherwise because their offense is such a big question mark at this site. Mostly value bets from sharps on the dog.

The Over/Under is down from 40.5 to 39.5 on the chance of rain (temps should be okay in the mid 40’s). Plus I’m hearing the quants are showing more of their scoring simulations in the 30’s rather than the 40’s given the caliber of defenses on the field.


DALLAS COWBOYS at GREEN BAY PACKERS (1:10 ET Sunday on FOX)

The line has dropped from an opener of Green Bay -6.5 down to Green Bay -5.5 on the news that Aaron Rodgers may be playing with a muscle “tear” in his injured calf. Green Bay money is waiting for more news on that before kickoff…while Dallas money figured they’d better jump in on the news because the line could drop further if Rodgers is going to be seriously hobbled.

It’s interesting to note that the total hasn’t dropped from an opener of 52.5 even though the game will be played in the teens temperature-wise. The lack of a strong wind should help passing accuracy. Though, I wouldn’t be surprised if the total comes down before kickoff if Rodgers is shown moving gingerly in pre-game coverage.

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS at DENVER BRONCOS (4:40 ET Sunday on CBS)

Similar situation here to Ravens/Colts in that the high profile AFC team is sitting exactly on -7 against a dangerous opponent. Sharps would fade any public move off the seven toward Denver. Money flow here may be influenced by earlier results. If the first favorites are winning blowouts, then squares will have some money to play with…and will have more confidence that Peyton Manning can do the same. If the favorites are all in tough battles, it becomes more difficult for the square mentality to assume the Broncos will run away and hide given Peyton Manning’s pesky ailments.

This is the only total that’s moved up so far. An opener of 53 is up to 54. Temperatures are supposed to be in the low 40’s under a bright sun…which is relatively balmy by this weekend’s standards (you should see Las Vegas in a cold January!). Indianapolis tends to play high scoring games against quality opponents because the game turns into a shootout. Sharps thought 53 undersold expectations just a bit.

Summing up…we know that sharps didn’t like any of the four favorites because they didn’t jump in to beat the rush before the public started betting. Sharps would have taken out the sevens in New England and Denver for sure because those are key numbers. Sharps will either be on the dogs at slightly higher prices before kickoff if squares move the lines…or will accept what’s on the board as the best they’re going to get. On the totals, sharps were on the Unders in the weather spots, and the Over where it was relatively nice.

I have zero confidence in anything in the BAL/NE and DAL/GB game.

You could tell me anything from 17-14 Ravens to 38-30 Pats and I'd buy it.

Rodgers is such an X-factor in the other game. That is no small thing he's dealing with. If that happens to get reaggravated early on, Packer bets are up in smoke. But if he's good to go, Dallas could get shelled.

Yep

Hate to say this too, but she looks hotter this season than any previous as well. Which just makes it rougher to see.

You're soulless if you dont like CT or Diem, IMO.

Haven't watched it yet but have it on DVR. I actually didn't know Diem was on this year. That's gonna be rough.

Nany is still on though :wub:

Is Sarah on?

 
Ugh, when she mentioned winning the money so she could pay for a surrogate. CT and Diem were so different, but were so good for each other - she calmed CT down and he has always seemed incredibly supportive of her through her battle. Rough.

Yup

Paired with Jordan

 
Like SArah as well

But she's jumped the shark this season. In her interviews she has lower chin wrinkles and the hair is a 30's hairdo, not a 20's like she always was.

I think you're gonna be dissappointed Frostydickdipper

Yeah, not sure what happened to her. Crack is a helluva drug or something like that. Lumpy is going to be made Laurel isn't back on.
