    Don't do it! There are multiple systems that have the Seahawks 0-11, etc. Nfl teams are never as bad as they look the week after they play, nor as good. This one has trap written all over it. To many cappers are picking SF.

I've been reading everything u could possibly imagine all week in regards to this Sunday's game with Seahawks. I can honestly say there is 0% of me that thinks the 49ers cover the 9.5 spread. I currently have $2,000 on Seattle -9.5 already but I am contemplating adding $7,500 more. This would be hands down the biggest bet of my life by a long shot. I've been talking to a bunch of friends all week who all think this will play out the same way I do. Gonna have a bunch of friends come over to watch the game with me. So here is where I'm at... I'm reaching out to the covers forum to see if anybody on here has anything they feel like I am missing. Can someone talk me about of making this the bet of my life? Besides pride for the 49ers...Thanks for your feedbacksJsharks99

    Why not tease it down to Seattle -4 and add colts -.5 for the $7000. Love those odds a lot better or take patriots -3 or what ever the pats spread is. Would be better change pal. Just my thoughts

    Should not be the largest bet of your life. The fact you think it should indicates the Seahawks have peaked and so have the 9ers peaked at the bottom.

    Looking back over history this is a very, very bad spot for Seahawks, they are playing on an unsustainable level of play and to make matters worse for them are coming off an extreme performance last week VS Eagles which increases their chances of not covering.

    All the while 9ers playing on a unsustainable low level, both teams are due regressions to go in the opposite direction of recent performances, this according to how things have played-out over history.

    When history speaks I would not be putting the largest play of my life against what has been supported over history............................................

    WHY this game  .These two teams with there history means more than the way SF has been playing . If theres any game that would be the one this 49er team cares about ,gets up for is this one . Hawks are not blowing many teams out ,The Point spread if you still haven't put it in icould go up to  10 ,now you might have to lay more juice to go under 10  Every week you this .Its been happening to the Pats with Miami ,(there worst losing % to any team in there history are the Fins)

    IMO this is not a alli in type game ,far from it at 9.5 points  . For me the more lock game is INDY playing at home for there division ,against the Texans with out there running game with out there big receiver ,with a QB that is light years behind the oppositions . Unless Houston is putting up 42 they have little chance of not losing by less than 7

    I'm a niners fan myself, but one thing I will tell you is to never bet huge against your team. Here's why.

    As a homer, you likely listen to the local radio stations and local sports shows that are constantly hammering the dysfunction of the team. I would know, I live in Washington.

    This skews your view and sometimes you know too much compared to most other people in the country. This leads you to overanalyze and be hyper critical because you hear it all the time.

    It's not a game I would put a lot of money on. Yes, the line opened absurdly high, which is a good thing for Seattle, but you should know the history of the series pretty well.

    Seattle usually stomps them pretty good at home, so that DD line isn't as far fetched as you would think. 

    San Fran coaching has tried to minimize on Kaep's running to keep him healthy. Pretty much out of the playoff picture, but still desperate, they'll probably do whatever they possibly can to win this game. 

    If I had to pick I'd prob take Seattle too, but this isn't a game to go HUGE on. If I was going to go huge I wouldn't be betting for history to repeat itself for like the 5th time in a row. 

    If I was going to go HUGE, I would take Dallas on SNF. That line is absurdly low for what happened on Thanksgiving. I was expecting closer to 7.

    betting against your own team is wrong on so many levels...that said going against a cornered and frustrated Niners unit here that could easily cover with a play or 2 from a QB who is due for at least a few good moments eventially...season on line here...root for your goddamn team

    This is absolutely horrible money management. If you lose this 10k you'll be in the red for the rest of your life with gambling. 100-300 wagers and a few step outs into the 1-2k is pushing it a lot already. 10k? Don't get greedy. Greed comes back to bite. Don't put another dime on it. Hopefully you win and enjoy 2k. Please use money management.

I've been reading everything u could possibly imagine all week in regards to this Sunday's game with Seahawks. I can honestly say there is 0% of me that thinks the 49ers cover the 9.5 spread. I currently have $2,000 on Seattle -9.5 already but I am contemplating adding $7,500 more. This would be hands down the biggest bet of my life by a long shot. I've been talking to a bunch of friends all week who all think this will play out the same way I do. Gonna have a bunch of friends come over to watch the game with me.

    So here is where I'm at... I'm reaching out to the covers forum to see if anybody on here has anything they feel like I am missing. Can someone talk me about of making this the bet of my life? Besides pride for the 49ers...


    Thanks for your feedback

    I think he 49's with 91/2 sounds like a good pick to me. The quarterback will have a better game then his last few.

    I see this as a close game Seattle 28-25. Niners miss a 46 yd field goal in the end. Niners will cover. The over will also be a greater bet. $$$$$$$$. Gluck sjsharkie

    Best of luck to you today.  I agree with your logic and thinking and feel Seattle wins by double digits. 

    I am trying to find two other teams to T up with the Seahawks as I see no way they lose this game outright.  Any thoughts gents?

    I respect going for the jugular; the "rent check bets" have to be gut feels, coming from years of experience and knowledge of what exactly you are betting on.

    If you truly believe it, then do it, and be prepared to live with the consequences win or lose .

    I am not sure what walk of life you are from, but do you understand how much cash 10k really is?  Not 10k in net worth, but 10k in cash?

    Honestly, in the long run, it is not a staggering amount...but in the short run, you could buy a nice used boat, go on a few pretty nice trips to Hawaii, put it towards a brand new Ford F150.... that is half of a 10% down payment on a 200k house (which could be a pretty nice place with some land up here in Montana).

    It is obvious you have the x's and o's taken care of....and so does everyone else.  San Fran should not be able to score a lick against what looks to be a peaking Seahawks defense. BUT, remember that there are no style points to be awarded here; if Pete Carroll wins by 1 point then he will be happy....

    FWIW, when I break money management, I lose. Pure and simple.  It happened again yesterday, to a much smaller degree on the Illinois State @ Eastern Washington FCS playoff game. I knew that ISU would have to score every time they got the ball to beat Eastern....and guess what? They did. 59 to 46 final. One of EWU's players' father even had a heart attack in the stands and stopped the game. 

    Sports betting is crazy.....but if you got it then you got it.  Best of luck my man.

    If he loses, he just needs to go 84-16 or so on his next 100 plays to get back to even.

    if you're looking for one game to slam, this one is not it and i would say most NFL games are not.  i would slam a college basketball or college football game where the lines are looser.  or even a live bet because sometimes you can tell what's going to happen based on how the game is going.

    also, colin cowherd loves the niners plus the points:

    https://espn.go.com/espnradio/shows/colincowherd/story/_/page/blazingfive14/colin-cowherd-blazing-five-picks

    i've slammed big on a few games and in order for me to do that i would have to see a consensus agreement on one side from all of the guys i follow.....if one disagrees i probably dont play it.  be patient, good picks will come.

    but to other's point, yeah its bad money management.  i don't follow it myself and i've gotten myself into some pretty big holes.

    One more thing.......if you really have that much glimmer in play, then don't invite all of your buddies to watch the game with you unless they are going big on the Seahawks as well.  With that big of bet down, the pressure on every snap will be extreme.

    If things go south, that is a prime situation for fisticuffs, Speaking from experience..... no sense winding up in jail as well as losing.

    I hope you hold up unless you know for sure Kapernick is going to stay in the pocket-I thought your idiot coaches would finally give up on him staying in the pocket-they might just because running him is the only and best way to beat a fast D like Seattle...I can see this happening because of that enough that SF could cover or back door cover-too unpredictable..and your team is desperate...

Live to fight another day. This is the NFL so anything can happen and there are some good capers on Niners this week

The guy is planning to hoist 10 g's up in air and the way you're commenting, he should forget all the intangibles and just bet with his heart to show he's a die-hard Niners fan. Man I'd love to be your bookie.....

    I am a die hard 49ers fan and I feel like I know my team inside n out. This year has been frustrating for me and it pains me to say it but I've made money fading the 49ers lately, especially on thanksgiving. Which leads me to why I am starting this thread. I've been reading everything u could possibly imagine all week in regards to this Sunday's game with Seahawks. I can honestly say there is 0% of me that thinks the 49ers cover the 9.5 spread. I currently have $2,000 on Seattle -9.5 already but I am contemplating adding $7,500 more. This would be hands down the biggest bet of my life by a long shot. I've been talking to a bunch of friends all week who all think this will play out the same way I do. Gonna have a bunch of friends come over to watch the game with me.

    So here is where I'm at... I'm reaching out to the covers forum to see if anybody on here has anything they feel like I am missing. Can someone talk me about of making this the bet of my life? Besides pride for the 49ers...


    Thanks for your feedback
