College football was up a very little bit at the end last season - but for all intents and purposes you can call it breaking even.

NFL I did a little bit better, but nothing spectacular.  I think I ended up at about 2.5% (including vig, meaning every 100 wagered I won about 2.5%) - but for me and on the volume I bet that translates in to a satisfactory profit.

Football last season wasnt so great - soccer has carried me - and continues to do so.  Here's to a better football 2011.

Totally agree - ND is a 500 team.

Yeah, should be interesting around Moss Side this year.  In addition to the drug dealing and random shootings, there's a team that occasionally looks like 1959 Real Madrid.  I think they've scored 12 and could easilly have 20.   City's third team would finish 8th in the PL and they  have a legitimate shot of rolling into Salford undeafeated and on 18 points in a few weeks' time.  I think they have roadies at Fulham and Rovers, and three pretty manageable home fixtures between now and then.  Damn European break.

Nice work on the Orange last night.  Never a doubt.

Not totally sold on Dzeko yet, but other than that I dont see a single weakness - and depth for miles.

Should be a great year for them...

Van -- you a video game player by chance? Given your love for soccer I wonder if you have ever played any games in the FIFA video game series.

I havent.

Im old school, a joystick and one button are about the limit of my skills.  I cant master the multi button moves, and remember all of the combinations.  I have seen them and would love to be able to play them, but every time I try I get beat by one of my 8 year old nephews, and that isnt very good for my social standing in my family.

GL all

1.  Syracuse -6.5 (1 unit)
2.  Baylor +4.5 (1 unit)
3.  Akron +34 (1 unit)
4.  UCLA +3 (1 unit)
5.  USF +10 (2 units)
6.  ECU +21 (1.5 units)
7.  Tulsa +24.5 (1.5 units)
8.  LSU +4 (2 units)
9.  GA +3.5 (2 units)

Sunday and Monday to come....

As always, up for discussion and comments.

GL

 

How does someone who is supposed to be a serious bettor defend taking Baylor at +4.5 when only a day before it was +6?

Pretty simple, and I stated it earlier in the thread.

At 4.5 it is a 1 unit play.  At 6+ it would be a bigger unit play.

If the line started at +21, and was now +14, should I not suggest betting Baylor at +14 because they were once +21?  I post current bettable lines, and at the time I posted Baylor at +4.5 is worth a 1 unit play to me.

Doesnt seem to tough to understand, not sure of the confusion.

Van,

Good luck hopefully lands on TCU winning by 4 as I have them at 3 and the hook. 

Why do gamblers ask stupid questions?  Wow, why didn't you bet at plus 6?  lol...If my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle...
