That's true I quess I'll have to go old school and call up some friends in New York and other cities and see what we can come up with. At least we won't charge any juice.

Thats exactly what I mean, if teams A & B have a combined total of 170 wins on the O/U and teams C & D have a O/U combined total of 160 . And I wanted to bet A & B , They would have to win by more than 10 games combined to win.

I had a idea for betting totals by cities or states. And I was wondering if anyone has ever heard of such a thing. For example picking the total wins for the Sox & Cubs vs. Yankees & Mets. or Angles & Dodgers vs.A's & Giants . Rangers & Astros vs. Rays & Marlins. What do you guys think would it be worth it for a Sports Book to offer this type of play ?

Corey Crawford out with upper body injury. I still like the Hawks, but I'll wait and see if the line comes down a little. It's currently at -200. I can't lay a goal & half untill they start scoring more. GL

Totals 3-15-1 in all bowl games so far. I might bet under in all the remaining games GL.

I'm taking the under here, 75 is a lot of pts. to score. Now I'm a guy who loves to play the over in college football games,especially in games where I think there may be a chance of overtime. But to date the totals are 3-15-1 in all bowl games this year. Now I understand that the score of one game has nothing to do with the next. The same as if heads comes up 9 tmes in a row the odds are still 50/50 it's going to be heads the 10th time.Watch todays games if they all come in under, I may take the under in every game the rest of the way Good Luck to every one and have a Happy Healthy & Prosperous New Year, Saltpetey

Lakers playing their best ball as a team the last 3 games. Howards getting involed and Kobe playing the role of Magic with all the assists. I'm going to keep riding them till they lose.

If I had to make a pick on this game I would take Wisconsin at-14pts I would not go any higher. I don't know how that loss last week vs. Nebraska will affect the Badgers but they still have a big edge in talent. And until Illinois wakes up and starts O'Toole at QB I'm going to play against them. Good Luck |

At what point does a game become official ? An example yesterdays Michigan game. My book had it no bet. I had Mich. So I wasn't to happy about it. Especially after last week when I had a series bet on Phil. And they lost game 1 then because of Irene games 2&3 were cancelled and I lost the series bet. |

Starting over again today. My pick will be Dallas -5.5 vs. the Knicks. this game should be a 8pt. line without Billups .But the N.Y. fans dropped it from 7.5 to 5.5. Good Luck, Salt Petey |

Are you kidding me? Without Billups No Chance of winning tonight. New York is much improved but still the 5th best in the east. I believe you'll catch Atlanta for the 5 seed but get bounced in the 1st rd by either Orlando or Miami. Meanwhile your betting down what should be a 7pt spread tonight to a 5.5pt spread at this # its hard not to take Dallas at home. On a sidenote why would you not wait till the end of the year to pick up Carmello as a free agent? New York is where he was going to be all along Billups is gone after the season, I feel you gave up way to much. Opinions?

Thanks guys I'm leaning towards standing pat, while a middle seems good I could end up with nothing. But there is the possabilty of the Bears winning outright .Stand pat G.B. a 10pt fav. if they cant win the game they dont deserve to be in the playoffs.

Before the start of the season I placed a bet on Green Bay to go over the total of 9.5 wins on the year. What I thought to be the easiest pick on the board. Well here we are in week 17 sitting on 9 wins. My question, Should I take the Bears with 10pts. and look for a middle or just sit firm with my origonal play ? |
