Most of you guys have Edm -4 right? So rooting for a cheap FG by Sask and an Edm 7-point win makes pretty much everyone on this board happy?

[phillybear 366]

Edmonton just intercepted Sask. This might ice the game at 20-10.

Thanks for the play by play!! and great call!

A lot of folks have the line at -4.5, especially if they bet the game when I released it last night, up until late tonight, when the line moved all the way to -7.5.

[GiantsRule 0]

Wow, do I have a love-hate relationship with in-game live betting.

 

On one hand, it really makes the greedy bastard in me come out. On the other, it saves me from disasterous losses when things start turning around.

 

Had Over 55 (-120). After multiple TDs in the 3rd, grabbed Under 53 and just prayed that it didn't land on 53, 54, or 55 total points. Still feeding the books the vig, but it's better than them getting all my cash!

Philly:

 

Any of those college games you feel pretty strong about??

 

I know you put additional units on some games......so i assume you feel strongest about those.

 

Just thought id see if there were some games you liked

[phillybear 366]

Dammit. The Edm game is not over yet. Sask just kicked a FG 20-13.

 

Commercial. There can't be that much time left. I really need this game. Dammit.

Anything i put a 2 unit or 3 unit play on is a strong play. Last year, I went as high as 5 units on a game, but I am going more conservative this year.

[GiantsRule 0]

I was psyched to see the Sask FG but I thought the game was winding down. There's still 11:39 left. Lots of time for nailbiting and ulcers.

Yep. I am pulling 20s out of my wallet for the holes I am about to punch into my walls of my duplex. Fock.

 

The worst thing about this game is that I was wrong about the time left in this game. Fock.

NCAAF YTD: 83-50-2

+45.85 units

 

Anyone else like BYU this week? I'm thinking about bumping them up more at -8.

 

Took Wake for a bit this weekend. Nor Carolina is 0-8-1 ATS in last 9 games. Wake is just a much better team offensively and defensively. Another reason why I took Wake larger since I don't think Nor Carolina defense will not be able to hold Wake on the ground. Game will break open 2H as defense wears. Only problem is that..public is heavy on wake as well. Decreased original bet since line is being fishy in movement

 

Also really like Florida State. Fagg may be out but he's not really going to be missed as other younger WR have really prospered. FS leads Maryland in Yds gained and allowed despite a seemingly tougher schedule. I see FS winning by at least 1 TD. Oh yea... Maryland is 0-8 ATS during night games and 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games overall. 4 unit play for me.

I hope you're depositing a lot to get the most out of your sign-on bonus (and, ahem, it helps me too!)

 

I'm up around 9:00-9:30 a.m. EST tomorrow morning. When you sign up, email me your real name (I won't share it with anyone, your email address, and your new Olympic account user ID). I'll then email OLY's customer service, let them know I referred you, and remind them that they need to credit you with your bonus. Once they let me know the balance is in my account, I can send you the deposit fee through either PayPal or Neteller (your call).

 

It's important you email me so I can let them know immediately that we're both owed money. Are you all set with a Neteller account?

Could really use another Sask FG and then straight defense for the rest of the game!

 

Alright, well Im set up with Neteller. I'll set up my greek account in the morning. Thanks for the help and I'll send you an e-mail in the A.M.

 

BTW, my initial deposit is gonna be small potatos. Like a buck fifty or so. Sorry!

 

But GL with the CFL tonite.

 

[phillybear 366]

Sask just punted. The bad news is that the punt went to the Edm 5 yard line. We are all sweating this game out.

[GiantsRule 0]

Considering Buffalo +34 tomorrow vs. BC. Is BC capable of winning a game by 5 TDs?!?

 

Upon further review, BC hasn't outscored anyone by 35 and Buffalo's first 35-point plus loss came last week vs. Ohio.

[phillybear 366]

Edmonton takes a safety. 20-15 is the score. Edmonton will be kicking.

I'm avoiding the Carolina/Wake game. Wake should win this game by double digits easily, but it's been an emotional roller coaster in Chapel Hill this week. I don't know if the Heels will just go through the motions and get this miserable season over with, or if they'll play with a lot of emotion for Bunting. If I did anything I'd take the 2nd half line if it's available because by then I think it would be a lot easier to gauge the biorhythms of the Heels team.

Small card from Ditka means small card for me:

 

If Bet:

New Mexico State/Nevada - Over 63 (-120)

- If Win OR Push -

Idaho/Hawaii - Over 72

 

Nebraska -5.5

USC -10

Purdue +3.5 (-120)

G. Tech -4 (-120)

Navy +13.5

 

And, because I simply had to do it, Buffalo +34 - Supposed to be messy here in Mass so even Buffalo might be able to accidentally find the end zone for a score or two.

 

Taking a parlay of the opposites for a small amount in case tomorrow is the dreaded "Oh-for" day. No parlay for this to hit though.

 

And finally, a noon-time all overs parlay:

 

N. Ill-Iowa 47.5

Ill-Wisc 45

ND-Navy 47.5

 

Best of luck to all! :o

Dayam, looks like this "college football betting" thread got hijacked by the only three people on this planet who give a crap about the Canadian Football League. Shoulda had a CFL game thread separately...

[Yer mom 2]

Obviously, I'm going to recommend Olympic (thegreek), but with good reason. It's a great book with solid lines, in-game live betting, and tons of props. They also grade wagers lightning fast and are easy to deal with for withdrawals.

 

Best ways to fund a Greek acct is with Neteller or eCheck. Both are easy options and I think they are both free (I can only account for Neteller being free). If you decide to sign up, shoot me an email at BTC316@hotmail.com. My user ID for the account referral is 47829.

 

Unfortunately, no books take PayPal anymore. However, if you use Neteller to sign up (instant deposit; I think they charge $9), I'll reimburse you through PayPal or Neteller if I get the referral. Let me know if you're interested.

 

By the way, if you want to sign up with BoDog, I can make you an even better offer. Email me for details!

 

 

I left for Disneyland to greet out of town guests at 10:00am this morning with only 2 pages on this thread....and just returned to 5 fockin pages!!

[Yer mom 2]

5 Gs? Damn! I wish I could refer you all over again!

 

What are you on tomorrow besides the two WAC overs? (BTW: Hawaii's total dropped a point to 71)

 

 

I will post once I play...most of my bets come just before gametime when I have a good feel for what should take place in a particular game (No cockiness intended, but my halftime/in game bets are 19-3 this year, which would be kinda stupid to sway away from right now, love to wait out 1st halves).

 

I loved NW at +33...my boy that I just met up with at Disneyland is the elder cousin of Brett Basanez (and potentially the better QB of the 2 but has no desire to play the game unfortunately) so I got a feeling I might play the family alma mater pick here at +29.5. Halftime wagers are my thing really, they've lead to big dollar amounts this year (waiting out big favorites to be down at the half). So I will do my best to keep you posted....

 

I completely understand Hawaii total dropping a bit, im sure it has everything to do with the uncertainty of Idaho's offense. Purchasing the game package last week allowed me to see that Hawaii NEVER stops playing offense. The game was already decided late last week and with 1:24 (give or take a second) left Hawaii was still trying to score a TD!! Idaho I think will be good for at least 27 and Hawaii should put up about 51. Also, no Idaho game this year has exceeded 68 points which makes the under a very probable play....just not this week by my ruling. we shall see!

 

Good Luck!!

[brzrboy 0]

Here's my play "o" the day. Love the over on Texas/Texas Tech first half at 28, and here's why.

 

There is some value in public perception as Texas only scored 22 last week. But the game was in crappy Nebraska weather and Texas still left at least 10 pts on the field.

 

The past two meetings have been 41 and 38 pts at the half respectively.

 

Texas is avging 24.5 in first half, giving up 6.9 = 31

Texas Tech is avging 18.6 in first half, giving up 12.4 = 31

 

The weather will be 71 degrees and sunny with a light 10-15 mph wind. This will not effect Tech's passing game. Tech has an improved defense this year (yardage-wise), which made me pause, but they have given up 26, 27, 30, 38 in their last 4 games.

 

The entire game total of 56 looks attractive too, with the last two meetings totaling 69 and 72. Yes there will be no Vince Young on the field, but I see halftime score of Texas 24, Tech 10 and final score of Texas 37, Tech 24. If either team converts turnovers into points, score could be much much higher.

 

Lotsa points please

Homerific play of the day is OVER 45 in Wisco/Illinois.

I see some of you are betting on Illinois.....which I dont recommend, but will let you know I am staying away from this game ATS. Wisco could honestly run and pass all over them to the beat of 48-0, but I believe this line is RIGHT ON.

Two add-ons:

 

Texas-Texas Tech Over 27.5 1st half

 

brzr makes a lot of sense with his analysis. Since most books have it at Over 28, I jumped on this one.

 

Northwestern +30 (-105)

 

Took this because Yer Mom suggested it. No other reason. In fact, on paper, I figured Michigan would kill them, but who am I to question the successful?

Historically, Michigan doesn't kill anyone. It is not in Lloyd Carr's nature to win big. They will get a "W" and move on to next week. Plus it is cold and rainy here in Michigan today. Michigan will win by no more then 21 today.

Art, just curious why you're fading the Hawaii over this week. Is it because you think the game is due to go under, is it Idaho can't score, or is Idaho's defense better than advertised?

 

I've got a large play on the over (on Yer Mom's suggestion) pending the over in the NM game earlier in the day.

I've got a large play on the over (on Yer Mom's suggestion) pending the over in the NM game earlier in the day.

 

My take:

 

I am off the Hawaii bandwagon for the first time all year. The lines have gotten ridiculous with their games, as everyone has figured out how good this team is. Hawaii will probably win the rest of their games, finishing 11-2. I am glad they were a money making machine for me early in the year, but the bandwagon is now overloaded.

 

Teams are starting to drop back and flood the passing lanes on defense, forcing Hawaii to run the ball. Which Hawaii can do, and that is pretty much what happened last week against New Mex St. Hawaii running the ball will chew up clock. Hawaii ran the ball 33 times last week, and threw 34 times last week.

 

Idaho is playing very well in conference games, 4-0 ATS, and might give Hawaii a competitive game this week. It might still be a shootout, but the game scares the sh!t out of me.

 

Then again, Hawaii could have covered last week, but gave up a TD with 3 minutes to go to get backdoored.

[VaTerp 0]

Just played my first 3 games since 04'.

 

Took 3 road teams for the early games.

 

Wake -7.5 at UNC

 

ND -13.5 at Navy (Really in Baltimore)

 

NC. State +2 at UVA.

 

Lets see how it goes.

[phillybear 366]

Looks like a lot of games with windy conditions. Be careful taking big favorites that throw the ball a lot.

 

And the drinking starts....NOW. Actually, it never really stopped.

wake line looks like a trap.. betting other way to decrease my bet...
