Bowl Season Gambling Thread

[PeliniTheCrutch]

I plugged my nose and took the Vols. This will be a horrible football game.

Oregon seems too easy, but I took them as well.

I’ve already got Michigan from before the season at 8-1 to win it all, so I’ll sit that game out. Sure would help me if Michigan wins this one so I can hedge the NC game though.

I think Michigan wins today.

Happy new year, everyone!

Early wave looks like this:

LSU (-9.5) vs Wisc: no Heisman winner for the tigers, no defense all season. I’m taking the points with Fickell.

Tenn (-5.5) vs iowa: talk about two programs at the opposite ends of the offensive spectrum. Vols have burned me before, but I can’t quit them & don’t see how iowa keeps up. I’m laying the 5.

Oregon (-18.5) vs Liberty: Ducks by a hundred

I sort of like Iowa over 13. They will have to do a few trick plays, one might hit.
Still like the Vols to win and cover though.

I really like the Ducks. I think I do like Liberty +7 first quarter. I could see them going all out in the first 15...then being down 28-7 at the half.

Same...I tool the wolfs +1000 back in August.

“Strives to” and “Always does no matter what” are not the same thing

Over time and given the sheer volume of games, Vegas obviously always makes out

But they do not ring the cash register on every single game. Not even close.

No?
I'll bet they do. It's their profession. You think they play it rag-tag, take chances, and gamble all their profit away? They already have the patsies they need, what they do to profit is easy money.
Just need suckers.
There is an old adage about gambling. When people are walking out of a casino you can't yell who won or lost but its a certainty the casino made money.

Those poor, poor bookies.
Don't be so naive.

These are all winners

Final tally - 15-8 against the spread on sides this week, all picks posted ITT hours before first kick. Plus the rice/tex st over.

$50/bet = a tidy $310 profit

And another huge blow to the “you don’t know football” hater/loser crowd.

“No valid points.” “Don’t come here to talk football.” 😂🤣

Are you putting money down on the playoff games?

 

[BTF69]

I LOVE Bama first Quarter getting .5.

That first quarter will end in a tie.

 

[king_kong_]

Are you putting money down on the playoff games?

Of course! I assume someone will start a separate thread, but here are my picks for the playoffs:

Michigan -2
Washington +4 (and +155 moneyline)

I think UW wins it all. Been the best team all season, but no media members went there/can stay up late enough to watch them play so they’re the 2 seed.

Can get them +720 right now to win it all. Juicy!

Am rooting for washington.
Which makes me pick texas.
But im not a degenerate gambler.




















Yet.

[otismotis08]

I parlayed Bama -2.5 and TX -4.

 

[SomedayHusker]

I thought you hated the B1G?!

 

[king_kong_]

I thought you hated the B1G?!

I do

My feelings have nothing to do with it, though.

Super public underdogs rarely pan out

Could be wrong, of course

I thought you thought B1G teams sucked tho. Earthquake in Japan sent in a “Crimson Tide” of sorts

 

[SomedayHusker]

Thinking about taking Texas also

They do

I think harbaugh has transcended

Lots of experience

And Milroe kinda stinks

Another great call. I hated the -145 juice on that bet so I stayed away

That -145 almost made me change my mind!

It was -120, then -130...I get the feeling it was getting hammered.

 

[king_kong_]

Nothing but winners ITT

Go huskies

 

[SomedayHusker]

Go huskies

I broke down and just took Huskies live -2.5 after that TD. M got the win so I’m rolling with the upside down M. Election year= Washington 😄

Washington is the best team from the best conference remaining

Still think Georgia is the best team in the country

17-8 ATS this week.

hope you all made some money!

I've always heard Vegas' only goal is to move the lines to get even money bet on games, then make their guaranteed money on the rake. I've also heard that's bullshit too though, so 🤷‍♂️

17-8 ATS this week.

that is their goal

they make money over time and with volume, not because every line is perfectly set

they absolutely lose on single games all the time

there's a reason no casino lists "sportsbook" as their top revenue producer

 

[TampaBaySkers]

17-8 ATS this week.

hope you all made some money!

The opt outs have been very helpful in gambling!! Taking candy from a baby. Well
Done kong.

I like Washington ML

Pfft if you knew football so well you wouldn't have lost 8 times. 😋 😉

 

[king_kong_]

Dude...

plus a straight up moneyline winner last night (UW +155)

and the Rice/Tex St over

so really more like 19-8 on my picks in this thread

oh, and a +720 future that's now down to +170 (value!)

**please nobody start betting just so you can follow my picks and if you already bet follow at your own risk**
