I'm getting emails that I can bet the ponies via phone here in AZ now. At least I can use Xbressbet or some other domestic service, so it's a start. Can deposit and withdraw online, get programs and watch video. BUT WE'RE DRAWING THE LINE THERE!

Let me know if you want a referral link for Xpressbet or TwinSpires :wink:

Nope. Still can't actually place the wager online here, and i can't do stuff like Fanduel.

Unfortunately not...quite a few states it's not legal. I know Texas recently blocked online betting but you can still go down to the track to bet

I dont pay enough attention to NBA, but results of this system seem pretty good on fainf back to back home teams with higher pt totals

Besides manually looking up the schdules any easy way to see who is playing back to back home games?

Must have gone back to the beginning of NBA here to compile their records. I have a whopping 4 plays left for the remainder of the yr. That was a big waste of time

 
Check requested Monday morning from DSI, deposited in bank today at lunch time, pretty awesome turnaround time. Can't EVER remember a time when bookmaker/DSI were that fast with a payout, let alone the day after the super bowl when I'm sure everyone is requesting money. :thumbup:

Still waiting on SB to "approve" my request to WD, from Monday.

Good to hear some spots are on it.

 
so screwing around on my sportsbook acct, they have Hillary Clinton to be the next president in '16 as the clear favorite at +140. Is that really the case? i don't know if i could have any less respect for politics then i do, but just wondering if that is the general sentiment out there. Seems weird, all i hear is all this hate for her. But i guess with politics that is how you usually figure these things out

ETA: next closest favorite is Jeb Bush +600, and everybody else is over +1000. Jeb Bush...really?

ETA2: this is also not some kind of political argument, i know probably less then any 3rd grader in the country about these 2

Frosty, no love for K. State -4.5 over Texas tech? I always like them better as a dog, but that would seem to be a late night play possibly, no?

She's the heavy favorite for the Dem nomination. Barring some sort of really heavy scandal, she's going to get it.

After that, Dems will line up behind her, and the GOP will line up behind their candidate, even though it doesn't seem like who that will be is ideal. Important to remember that the nation as a whole is trending blue, demographically. I think Texas is projected to be "purple" in like 20-30 years or something.

+140 actually sounds like a good bet, except for the fact that you're going to have your money tied up for almost two years.

 
I went with Hillary squishes her breasts together beneath a provocatively unbottoned denim jacket and blows a kiss to the camera with red lipstick on for +720.

This guy is a freak show. 24 pts, 20 reb on 12-13 fg?
Click to expand...
Yep. Most of the shots were around the rim but his mid range shot isn't horrible. I swear I saw 4 blocks too but the box shows 2 blocks and 3 steals. I think only once since i've tracked his props have they not all hit.

Honestly I don't care if Miami wins or loses, just get this guy reps and then get him a pen to ink his ### to the Heat for years and years. How'd he fall out of the sky?!

OK, let me preface this with, I am not trying to start politics discussion within the FFAWT. Let's keep this strictly to value, and Yay/Nay on the bet itself.

SB has Hillary to win the 2016 election at +140. Last new I heard, she's like double digit percentage points ahead of any Republican candidate in preliminary polling. With that said, I an having a hard time not absolutely unloading on this at +140. That price should evaporate once 2016 talk starts up in earnest in the news.

It is tying money up for just about 2 years, but +140 on something I view as a tremendous value bet is hard to pass on. Thoughts?

Sorry, started reading the thread back to front. :bag:

Agree with modogg, I guess.

Sharks are already lined as the dog tomorrow night. They sat Niemi tonight in the first game of the B2B so he'll probably go tomorrow. (If the Sharks lose) Sharks in the second game of a B2B after a loss are 3-0 SU against lines of 144,-125,135 this season, and 5-2 SU in that situation going back to last season (3-0 SU as the dog and 4-0 SU L4 winning by margins of 3,3,2,3). Might be a good spot to play them and maybe even on the reverse puckline. link

I hate tying up money for two hours. Two years is insanity.

I guess it's a parlay of "Hillary Clinton to win 2016 + SB.ag will remain liquid + will pay you." This is sense talking, thanks.

I mean, I'm not saying there's any truth to it, but if they were to go under and wanted to fish "value gamblers," this would be a pretty sneaky play.

 
Penn State 7-0 ATS as the dog this season after tonight. Also, trivia question, when was the last time TCU won a conference game.

I think there's more value investing in a New Orleans BBQ joint.
