Big East I was on the same side. You are taking the high road by not fighting with these BC backers.

Went to the gym at 400am and saw the reply and said WTF. I actually saw the final before watching the last 3min and I said this has to be a mistake.

After getting fucked out of the Louisville game last week, I'll take this one as a payback.
That's why they call it gambling.

looks like your capping skills are only for 58 minutes, you forgot about the other 2 minutes, maybe you will learn next time

Let's get up for Saturday and some good NFL winners coming up!


 

The went down to -3 a kickoff. 56 % on BC and 44 % on VT.

lmao., 10-0 is dominated???  v-tech had a borderline td at best.   if nothing else its a td away from a push or even a win depending on what spread you had.   did you really think they would try a 46 yard field goal on grass in the rain on a soaked field?  a miracle touchdown?? i guess they had 2 miracle touchdowns then since 1 got called back on holding

BigEast,
 
I'm a BC fan so I took them and I won.  Here was my handicapping strategy; we beat them the last two Thursday nights in Blacksburg, BC has a much better QB, VT has absolutely zero offense, VT has one of the worst coaches in CFB history all that talent and never wins the whole thing.  At the end of the day the better team and QB won.  Simple as that.
 
I watched the whole game and I'm curious how exactly did VT dominate.  They played good Defense but BC had plenty of chances early on and were screwed by the refs more times than I can count.  We had a TD called back before this miracle TD not that it really mattered at that point because I still would have won my bet.

Sometimes luck is needed in gambling just like poker.  Lets comeback tonight and win.

I had BC and gave up early, but the game should have been 3-0, maybe 6-0 when BC was driving for its 1st TD. The Va Tech receiver was clearly out of bounds, so hell yea I'll take this lucky win, but I would have been damn pissed if i lost on a phantom VT touchdown

Hey, they won and covered...so let's recap how you "handicapped" this game.
 
1) Get totally dominated for 58 minutes.
2) Ryan does nothing for 58 minutes.
3) Unable to run the ball the entire game.
4) Hope VT punts instead of kicking FG to go up 13-0.
5) Get ball with 2 minutes to go.  Hope to drive 92 yards.
6) Pull of TD with under 2 minutes on miracle catch.
7) Onside kick and recover.  All part of the game plan.
8) Drive 66 yards and grab a mircle TD with 11 seconds to go on 3rd and 20.
 
Hey, all I can say is great handicapping.
 
GL guys.
 
 


Please don't forget to mention the BS TD gift that Va. Tech received in the first half that was not a touchdown! 

Luck is part of winning, and I got lucky tonight, but the breaks happened on both sides of the field.

BEE, Weird things happen in football.  Considering VT's lack of offense and the fact that there wasn't going to be much scoring in this game, taking +3 with one of the best QBs in the country was good handicapping.  You can't look at what happened after the start of the game to evaluate the handicapping skill.  It's what you look at prior to the game starting.  Sorry that you got screwed, but Matt Ryan came through.  My main reason for taking BC was that I liked his chances to score some points against a VT team that was starting an inexperienced QB.  It finally happened in the last 2 minutes.  And, as someone else said, BC should've only needed 1 TD.

-wait until last 2 minutes to play soft D and get shredded for a TD
-do NOT recover an onsides kick
-get shredded again - game over

I see your point.

 

  solid post.

ok, so its obvious there are a lot of A$$holes here, even when you win, you can't just SHUT THE FUDGE UP.
Everyone has to prove that their c0ck is the biggest.
The game was sickening for either side, it was sloppy and disgusting. 
BC and VT are both very over rated. They will get eaten alive by any real top 10 team.
C-TEAM should just delete this thread, its over...

very lucky for us BC backers but the way I see it this was a make up for my brutal MD/UVA lost last week(i had MD and they were the right side last week but lost on a last second TD).

For all the people still talking shit, if you read the whole thread, he has apologized 2 or 3 times and he was venting.  Let it go!
