Tweet of the night:

Nothing says “Barry Bonds Night” like a 4-0 loss to the Pirates. If the Giants couldn’t get up tonight, they aren’t getting up for anything.

take this wager straight to the bank


'never say never'  


Has anyone seen what is going on in Maryland?

Their win total was Over 5 -160 before the scandal.

On 5 Dimes, after the explosive ESPN abuse article, they are now:

Over 5 -140.

20 cents of juice drop on the over. That’s it! Which means NO ONE is paying attention to this Maryland future! Even after the entire athletic staff was put under investigation!

Now just look at this quote below and tell me you are confident winning 6 with this schedule:

Texas
@Bowling green
Temple
Gophers
@Michigan
Rutgers 
@Iowa
Illinois
Michigan State
@Indiana 
Ohio State
@Penn state

I’ll give you Bowling Green, Rutgers and Illinois.

Where are the other three wins to win this bet???



One current player told ESPN that university leadership, including athletic director Damon Evans and president Wallace Loh, had "a lack of action" in their response to McNair's death.

"We had a kid die. ... It took all summer for us to even get a third-party investigation to meet with, and the timing [of those interviews] is absolutely horrendous [right before the season]," the player said. "This is a huge problem at Maryland."

If Maryland's QB's are healthy they can cause a lot of problems.  The overall attitude of the team is another thing.   I would say 5 is doable if they are mentally in to it so it's a pass for me.

There aren't 6 wins on that schedule BWS And that's what you need to lose the bet.

Add the national controversy currently occurring (which could (should?) result in a firing or their top staff members, and you have utter chaos throughout a season of dismay with transfers included.

You'd need to say Temple, Minnesota and Iowa are wins and that is not rational.

Or replace one of those with Indiana, an away team which is always a tough out and a game they won't be favored in.

4 wins is far more likely than 6.

I think it’s wise to pay the .50 and get it at that price. Better to collect juiced money instead of locking up your money for 4 months with no ROI if it lands on 7.

also, BWS had a nice blurb about LSU having to face 4 different teams coming off their bye.  3 of which are significant threats to beat them without the 2 weeks to prepare

This total now looks very convincing . I used similar angles on the Giants team total (Over Under 8 wins and they won 3). Not an SEC guy but I’m liking this.

Somewhere deep buried in this masterpiece of a thread, i have the following gems:

Braves to win their division

Rockies to win their division

The peoples champ win only 2 bets of the entire season minus a lone stragler of a straight up Jays ML which hit back when they were still considered a major league team...god this thread was pretty damn special cool

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Haven't placed a pregame wager without an attachment to 'live' ingame wagering in two years.... your continued stance, and on going discussion, is always appreciated..If you understand the NFL,and comprehend how the NBA works, but have yet to get into the live ingame concept of wagering, you've fallen off the grid...The program that CantorGaming19 puts out is light years ahead of the majority of sportbooks, simply because of their patented tablet....nothing better than watching the SB in your living room, tablet in hand, betting 'live' ingame action through out..
