Ang's Brier 2010

Newfoundland/BC Over 12.5 -110, 2 units

My God, the movement on these things are crazy. As soon as I saw Ontario -2.5 -120, I tried to jump on it. But the line moved to -130. I tried again, not quick enough as the line moved to -140. Then I hesitated and it moved to -180. Now it's -3.5 -123 and while that should hit, I don't think I will play it.

Draw 10

Alberta -3.5 +111, 4 units
BC +1.5 +126, 2 units

BC/NFLD over also pounded way up...glad I got in on that one early.

Wow, did Alberta and Nova Scotia switch jersey's or something? Unreal.

Well, Alberta opened at -700 or so and were pounded all the way to -1100...so I guess some people are crying pretty hard right now...

I guess that's a good reason to stay away from such huge moneyline plays.

Hopefully Quebec and BC come in to help limit my damage...

And that is why I try to avoid totals. Last two totals I played, BC/Alberta score 8 after 5 and then can't hit over 12.5 on the game. Today, NFLD/BC somehow blank both 6 and 7 and all I needed was one more point...ugh. So frustrating. Disaster of an afternoon...back to the drawing board tonight.

So line opened +175 at Bet365 and at the same time, Alberta was +145 at Pinny. So I quickly nailed each of those for $100. Bet365 immediately took the game off the board, so I figured they would cancel my bet and I'd have $100 riding on Alberta tonight. So far, they have not voided my wager...so I'm hoping they don't. We'll see what happens, but either way, I will not be including either of those bets in my YTD totals.

Draw 11

BC +179, 2 units
Alberta +1.5 -157, 2 units (think they win outright)
Newfoundland -1.5 -133, 2 units
Nova Scotia -120, 2 units (no Jamie Koe)

Whoops, I should clarify in my story above that it was Manitoba +175 at Bet365. So I win $75 if Manitoba wins and $45 if Alberta wins. Not a big deal either way...just hoping my wager isn't voided.

I'm on the Over 12.5 -133 for NS/NWT, hoping for a lot of points...also on BC+1.5 -139, NL -1.5 -147

Feel ripped off that Quebec only won by 1 as I had the -1.5. Feeling good about these plays though.

GL

That must have been crazy to watch...21 points

BC has killed me in this Brier.

Draw 12

With you on BC so let's hope this streak gets broken.

I cannot believe I bet on BC again. Ugh! When betting on games involving BC this week, I am down 15.48 units. No joke. In fact, I only have five losses this entire week in games NOT involving BC.

If I would not have overrated them, I could have had a fantastic week. What could have been....

They cost me a ton as well...

Can't seem to win betting on or against them

I have played over 12.5 four times this week. I am 1-3 and all 3 losses were 7-5 going to 10 with no points scored in the last end...

A break here and there, and this could have been a really good week...

Whoops, thought the game was over. Looks like they have given Quebec 1 in the 10th? We'll have to see how Pinny grades it...

7-6 Alberta for a total of 13 points

Finally caught a break.

NFLD/Manitoba coming up is really interesting to me. I believe Ontario will beat Manitoba tonight, which means that the loser of this game will go 0-2 today. Hmm....

Half an hour from draw 13 and still no lines...

 

I know...and you have to be on them quick!

Thegreek has lines out, but I have no money in my account.

Neither Bet365 or Pinny have lines...crap!

Still nothing

I guess they are not going to post them...losing money?

I'm sure it's not a money issue. I'm sure someone screwed up...

I bet they have lines for tonight's draw. Sucks though 'cause there were a couple plays I think I would have liked...can't say for sure without lines though...
