Doubleup,
 
I'm down $4300 this year which is by far the worst year I've had in 20+ years of doing this shit and I don't know which is worse the actual cash being gone or the fact that I'm running about 25% winning pct. In short, losing just plain sucks.
 
It's so bad on my end that I thought about putting together a form letter than I can send to the locals every week as a time saver. Just insert some blanks that I may change the date and amount enclosed sections.
 
 
Hang in there...you're not the only one for sure

Doubleup, things could be worse.
 
Last week, I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she left me before we met.

Almost to the meat of this season and I'm sure with the history of each team we will be zeroing in on some winners. 
 
Leanin LSU. Too many questions on the Florida side.  Does Tebow play, if so will he be effective, etc...  Also leanin Nebraska at -3 for some action on Thursday (doesn't seem like Missouri has played enough competition at this point) but I hate taking the road favorite. If it gets to 3.5 I might take Missouri.  Tough call.  Initially I didn't like Ohio State at 16 points but the public is heavy on Wisky and the line is holding.  That might push me into a play.  I know these games are probably not on your radar but figured I'd mention them.
 
 Best of Luck.  I hope for everyone's sake on here that you double  up this weekend. 
 
 

should have listened to you and Thorpe on Troy ...

LSU is gaining steam for me as well ... HF should be huge... Tebow's head scares the hell out of me .. Florida can afford to lose this one and still play in the SEC Championship game ...

Can't wiat to watch the Nebraska at Missouri game ... but I am afraid as hell to put any money on it .... although the Degen in me keeps getting me to the Confirm wager  screen ,,,

Sort of like the Over in the Buckeyes vs Badgers game ... than again My totals leans usually stink

BOL this week and thanks for your insight Brother

Love your post about SC glad to see ur giving credit where its due!U know I am a fan of SC but I also am a realist!
SC is a better dog than fav, That being said while I firmly believe that SC has more talent than Kentucky I don't believe there that much better in a game that is early and Bama looming next week!
Kentucky +9.5 ....SC wins by 7 or less.
NCST over 55 should be a high scoring game.
ARK +2 at home Ark wins straight up.....Aub is vastly overrated and as the season plays out that prediction will be justified.
Va Tech - 13.5 BC is not a good cfb team.
Houston +2.5 are u kidding me Houston is just better than Miss St.
Baylor +26 Baylor keeps this much closer than normal...
I am a few games over 500 thus far. Have missed posting a few weeks sorry working like a dog!
Double take that SC game to the bank!
 
 

Agree with you on Many  Thanks for the Insight Brother

SC should be looking ahead to Bama

Arkansas vs Auburn is a coin flip and I have to sit it out but you could be spot on

Va Tech could easily cover 2 TD's ... BC probley shot their WAD last week

Houston has to be better than Miss st right >>>??

Baylor might be getting too mnay with the Sooners have Texas on deck...

 

BOL this week and thanks for stopping by

How do you feel about the Spartans this week ???

BOL to you Brother

 

You'll be fine.  Everybody's been frozen before. 

I'm not laying the points with Sparty this week.  I don't trust them on the road yet and there could be a hangover from last week.  I'm on the OVER 54.  Good luck, and just remember, it's a long season that culminates with bowl games, which you were very profitable on last year!!

You will SO not stop gamlbing.  SO.  Come on now.  Stop talkin' crazy, man. 
 
I wonder how many bar bets you could win on the subject of the recent domination of CMU by Eastern.   
 
57 Minnesota 51 HF+3.5
Might be looking Past Purdue to at Penn St next week  - as a general rule, teams off two home losses, either of which could have been season-makers, should not have problems with focus.  Lots of really good cappers on PU.  I just don't see it.
 
OU, on the other hand, is in a great look-ahead spot, except they're off a loss.   
 
Doesn't it seem like some teams have to go to war every week, while others get to sit on their collective hammocks in the back yard?   NIce F-ing schedules for Sparty, Auburn and UK.  I guess those things even out eventually.
 
 
Siked?

Hey, hang in. It's only money.  Even the sharpest hit a wall every so often in a lifetime.
 
But if you do depart just come back in a week or so as a ghost.  Don't most of the other cappers here who tap out do that?

Ouch.. DU4L.. -48 units? I guess that means you're down over 70 units from Week 2 thru Week 5?

Losing does really suck ....
 I also have been wagering on CFB  for a good amount of time, and this is by Far the Worst start I have have had in along Time ....
 But You and I  Both know it happens in Sports wagering
BOL Brother and May we BOTH Turn it Around Starting this week  
... The key to Long term Wagering for ME
 Top 4
1 WIN ... Win as Many Plays as you Can , as oftenas you Can..DUHHH
 
2.Be able to Weather the Storms ..  You will get Cold
but a Bankroll does help rebound Potential..
Spreading money out On Futures Wagers has always helped me ...Unless
 
3 MY BIGGEST PROBLEM
is I Don't Listen to my Chart...
The Numbers are much better  on my Top 13 Plays on the Chart then my actual plays
Too Farking Proud and it Cost me this season...
 
Going Back to the Chart this week
t I thought about putting together a form letter than I can send to the locals every week as a time saver. Just insert some blanks that I may change the date and amount enclosed sections.
 
 
Hang in there...you're not the only one for sure

I am down betting with Bookies ....

Have not Bet weekly  CFB with a Local 5+ yrs I believe..n

 WHILE Getting Paid Weekly in cash Is awesome ...

But betting with Money that isnt even paid out can be so Dangerous ......

When I deposit Online I consider that money Spent as soon as the Money grams go through

I give you a tone of credit for betting woith Locals or whatever ... When you have a Good One...(RARE) ... It's The Cats Meow...Like In Wahoos Avavtar,...But They are Hard to Fond

I had All Kinds of Bookies over the years and Nothing would ever suprise me in that Side of the Sports gambling World
