I haven't locked in yet... still debating whether to go half before and half LIVE or just all-in before gametime.

My reasoning on an ALL-IN bet is that my system spits out picks like this VERY RARELY (maybe once a month), where angles from both teams specifically point to 1 winner. I can't think of a time when it hasn't hit.

Sure, ALL-IN is the absolute opposite of money management, but this is so tempting.

If I'm going to lose my bankroll, this is how I would want to do it... on a pick that is so blatantly obvious, that only a complete moron could get it wrong. If I am meant to be THAT moron, then I want to know.

Will probably lock in half my bankroll just before gametime, and throw the rest LIVE when the ML gets around +200.

Thanks for the concern OlDirtyBaztid. I hope this pick doesn't backfire on me... but this is gambling.

2-1 with 1 play pending. sorry parlay. the value was there but pitt had some very questionable play calling. not sure what tomlin was thinking today..

bold prediction for next year: bell leaves steelers to go on to a team that wants to pay him. first harrison, now bell

No sweat. All my attention is on this NYK game.

Once it is over, I'll be able to breathe again.

I am amazed PIT lost at home to a team like JAC.

And that is why I don't bet NFL playoffs.

Thanks again OlDirtyBaztid for your help. I'm just so grateful to you for saving my bankroll. This thread has been such a godsend for me.

seems like the only logical route to take. if vikings lose to the eagles, i very well might have a heart attack. eagles are NOT good without wentz

taking a serious look at BC +3.5

PB, when i first saw +3.5 i immediately wanted to slam it, but i think we could get some more points by next week. i just can't think that the eagles will win this thing straight up, though. what are your thoughts?

I do think Eagles win this one almost same fashion as they did vs Atl...Strong D with nice balanced offensive attack....Minny on road outdoors with all that pressure to play at home for SB...tons of choking potential there...Eagles are free rolling...but anything +3.5 or better should be examined closely...this is a 3 pt game most likely...the refs already practicing their Penalty Flips with style
