2011 Taking it to the Bookies Thread


Tour of Duty

Recommended Posts

Listening to The Herd this morning, Colin said that the Jets have not given up a TD in the past 9 quarters at home. Wow. The Chargers have had an easy schedule. I think the Jets win that game outright. $110 on them +2. I also like the Falcons +3.5 on the road at Detroit. I think both those teams are overrated but I take Falcons because they can run on Detroit and Lions run game is equally bad.

Full disclosure, i am a huge WVU homer, but take them -14 tonight v. Syracuse. Cuse's secondary stinks, WVU's passing offense is 2nd in the country (380 ypg). Also, the Orange beat WVU last year at home and this years team is WAY WAY WAY better, and pissed off about the loss. Also, our coach runs up scores like few other coaches. Its awesome.

Last week, WVU was favored by 14 to a team that beat them last year. They won by 27.

Also, take Rutgers -1 over Lville. Rutgers is 5-1, Lville is 2-4.

I will also be taking GT and points over Miami. And the under for PSU Northwestern (48.5)

whew! Sometimes it's better to be more lucky than talented. the Sunday night put me in positive ground, +$315 for the weekend. What does anyone out there think about the Ravens @ Jags game? Presently the road team is a -10 favorite. I think the game could get out of hand here.

^^^^ thanks for the input. I don't really see this being a "trap" game because Baltimore is trying to keep pace with Pitts but all the same I bought the line at Baltimore -9 just now (risking $130 to win $100). I LOVE the overall over of 38.5 pts. I don't buy historical trends as much as some bettors BUT MNF games are fairly consistent bets to hit the over. Prediction: Baltimore 38 Jax: 17

I just learned about teasers and reverses this weekend. My bookie does a 6 point teaser in either direction, for the point spread or over/under. Tonight I am going to put 110 on over 32.5 and Ravens -4.5.

A reverse is when you pick two games and bet on them. Say you bet 100 and both you win both bets, then you win 400! Lose 1, lose 120, lose two lose 240 with the extra juice. I teased Falcons +9.5 and Jets +7 this weekend for 57.5. Should've just reversed it and would've won 200 cuz both were underdogs and won outright.

Geez, no action for the biggest college game of the year ???

It can swing either way. But that is the heart of making a wager to begin with.

.

I like to think my wagers are all well thought out with as little chance of swinging the other way as possible. :D

The fact that I went back and forth soooo many times on LSU @ Bama lead me to stay the hell away from the game!

wow, my best weekend so far this season: won 12 of 17 wagers and came out +$598. The Stillers screwed me on that last play last night as I had the under and them -3. Can't complain though. The Skins won me money 2 ways yesterday.

Any takers on tonight's Philly/Chi game? how are you betting it?

Love the Bears and Cowboys today.

Might have to come outta hiding and throw down a bet on those two games.

$200 on each. Booking Cowboys at -7 just in case, the juice to get to 6.5 was $60 so i let it be. If I push so be it. Bears I bought down to -3.

I put down a 5 team parlay yesterday, risking $15 to win $664:

1. Kansas State ML +245 (won)

2. Tennessee Volunteers Pick (won)

3. Ravens -7

4. Lions -7

5. Bills/Phins Over 43

Obviously, I'm a little nervous about 3 outstanding picks, especially with all playing at 1pm making an effective hedge nearly worthless. I'm most worried about the Ravens -7 because the of the fact it's a divisional game and the Bengals have had been very competitive this year, even with a relatively weak schedule so far. I really like the Bills/Phins Over 43.

Any thoughts on the parlay above? Which pick concerns you the most?

I'm thinking of teasing Cincinnati to +14 and the Bills/Phins over to Over 36, making sort of a hedge bet with an opportunity to add winnings.

Other picks:

1. St. Louis -1 (got early in the week) ---- 2 Units

2. Chargers +4 ---- 1 Unit

3. Cowboys -7x ----- 2 Units

Leans:

1. Bills +3

2. Oakland Pick

3. Dallas/Washington Over 41x

4. Tennessee/Atlanta Under 44

Thoughts?

Yeah, SD is by far my least favorite pick. They've lost 4 straight games and have enough fire power to hang with any team in the league, and are 8th in passing defense. I think this is a game where Culter ****s the bed.

I just took Dallas over 12x 1st half TTL. I think they'll get that in the first quarter!

You playing anything else?

---------- Post added November-20th-2011 at 11:48 AM ----------

Like Oakland pick, but why SD? I can't find one reason to take this team today, especially on the road. Just isn't their year this year and the Bears have been playing good football.

Illone:

How would you play that 5 team teaser? I'm not a big believer in hedging, but I'm looking to extend potential winnings while hedging. I just took Cincy +17, Dallas/Wash Over 32, and SD/CHI over 35x in a 10pt sweetheart teaser.
