I had an in-game bet Ohio St +2.5. Did anyone else see the 2-pt conversion? A FULL second after the play clock got to zero SC snapped the ball. Where the hell were the refs?? The way SC was driving an 8-yard conversion would have probably been a gimmie as well, but sh*t. That one hurt, what a way to start my betting season.

Friendly tip, save your money, do not bet your team.
I know you wont listen, but at least wait till tomorrow when the line hits 7, maybe even 7.5. Just my friendly tip of the day. I gotta be nice once in a while, even to fans of the Fakers. |

If you had Zona first half, would u say that was the biggest MOOSE ever???
in NFL Betting
i bet steelers for the game, but when Big Ben had that ball tipped and picked i was a bit happy (to the surprise of my friends). i had thown down $80 on a half/game prop bet... . i had tie/steeler at 15-1.
thought my chances of 10-10 were looking pretty good. |

if i can get em at -6 (-130) i'm going to make it my biggest bet of the year.... good luck! |

congrats train. awesome just making it this far. let the record show, i was the one person who was on your side when you first posted. it amazes me that year after year we see crazy shit happen and people keep saying its impossible for a team to win...
Tampa Bay going to beat out the yankees and sox for the east then go on and win the world series? you crazy? giants going to win three road playoff games, then beat the undefeated patriots? save your money. george mason going to make the final four? no chance! it happens year in and year out. i started taking bets this year, and it really opened my eyes to how stubborn and narrow minded bettors are. they continually beat their head on a brick wall. i guess its human nature, but its what keeps this a thriving business. |

its still two games away, but just think if philly and SD win tomorrow......
Philly AT 'zona and Ravens AT chargers you would have two #6 seeds playing chargers (8-8) and cardinals (9-7) would have conference championship HOME games (two teams that are only in the playoffs because they play in crap divisions) |

i've always stayed away from these (13 pt teasers) but this is so tempting, can anyone talk me out of it?
Ten +10 Car +3 NY +9 Pit +7 1300 wins me 1000 i would have pulled the trigger already, but ties lose. can someone talk me in or out of this? |

they edged Florida, killed LSU and nearly beat 'bama. they're no pushover. should actually be a solid matchup.

dude, you dont know whats going on and how much they spent. i just caught a couple seconds of the commercial. so not positive...
it didnt seem like anyone said anything. what do you think they paid the best athletes in the world all to come in a room and stand there all at the same time? its amazing what they can do with computers these days. they were just using images of the guys. and guys like tiger are already under contract with gatoraid. so to have tiger on there probably cost them nothing. this could have POSSIBLY been done for chump change ( $50K). you never know. either way, its doing exactly what it intended. having us talk about it. |

If this game had ended 52-7 we would have every freaking idiot coming out of the woodwork saying SC should be AP #1. They almost blew a monstrous lead to an average team. A team just like them. A team that had a super easy out of conference schedule and plays in a weak ass conference.
I'm not saying SC is horrible. they could be the best team in the country. But its their fault they're #1, they make their own schedule. And they DID lose to Oregon St. Now to a very important question, does this make Texas look like a great play? they're at -8 right now. They're playing a Big Ten school. Do I buy a point and make a big play on Texas -7? All signs point to yes, just curious what others think before i pull the trigger. |

solid play is to tease the game. get the colts(ev)/under 50. the line should drop to 43 in the next hour.
another great play if you can find it is the jags under 20pts scored (-120). most books are at 19.5, but i know betonline.com has em at 20 right now. |

its a value bet, i'd like it better if you took them to win the NFC at 20-1 though. they've got the offense to upset anybody. but can they do it three games in a row. very tough with no running game, but it is a possibility.
i do this every season. about 3 or 4 weeks out, pick a dark horse to win the conference championship. took minnesota this season. wish i took the giants last year. |

lets take this back 365 days....
i'm thinking of putting down $100 on the Giants to win the superbowl 30-1. They've got two games left in the season and if they win one, they are in the playoffs. The NFC is pretty weak and anyone can win, what do you all think? Well you're an idiot! Two weeks ago they barely beat the Eagles, then last week they lost to the Skins at home. Now they gotta still win a game to make the playoffs. they've got a road game in buffalo, which they should win. but if they dont, then they gotta beat the 16-0 Pats. save your money dude! they should have fired coughlin long ago. Manning is a piece of crap, you never know if he's going to throw for 300 yards or 4 picks. Plus there is no way they go on the road and win 3 strait games. in tampa bay, then in dallas, then in the frozen tundra?? Just not going to happen. and EVEN if they do manage that somehow, there is NO POSSIBLE WAY the beat the patriot. thats the team of the decade. save your money kid.... 0.0% chance!!! |

i have had an issue with these guys for three months over a measly $500 wager. their customer support is horrible. i have had 16 chat conversations in a three month period and they spit out the same lines every single time.
"we have escalated this to grading and they will get back to you via email" when i write back saying that i got no response they give me the same line and say they are sending it with a "high priority". the funiest part is that my friend placed the exact same wager for $220. he complained and his bet was changed to "no action" immediately. so they have good CS once in a while. i've received a couple payouts from these guys and never had a problem with that (even though i guess they are notorious for delaying payment). but this has caused me to stop betting with them. |

laker game is one to stay away from. this is a relatively new rivalry, but it is filled with subplots, and it will be a great game with a playoff atmosphere. that means close and either team can pull this one out.
two major subplots are CP3 vs kobe and the west #1 seed. at the end of last season the two teams faced off late in the season and the lakers won the thriller, sealing kobe's MVP and all but locking up that coveted #1 seed (resulting in a virtual cakewalk to the western conference finals for the lakers). this season these two will be battling it out for another MVP and they're probably the top two teams in the west again.... guys are going to be playing at 100% and that means an extreemly close game. so stay away. hard to do for those die hard laker fans, but what i've learned in the last two years of doing this, you gotta know when not to bet. just enjoy the sick b-ball that will be played in The Big Easy tonight. now if i had to bet it, i'd take NO -.5 (1st half). and as for a prediction on the game, this laker hater says d-fish hits a game winner. |

I usually layoff bets that payoff over $1K. but couldnt get this one in on time so i had to roll the dice and cover it. client bet 1K to win 2500 LA - 6.5 & Det - 7.5.
neither team was covering with 5 seconds to play. LA was up by 5, Det by 6 and the other team fouls. no chance of winning the game, but they still foul. and d-fish and rip both nail two free throws and screw me. this one hurteded |
