Hello All.  Here are the plays for tonight.  They MUST win otherwise I am totally screwed.  I am laying $5,000 on each play (I will explain why below).  Wish me luck.
 
Samford -3.5
Rhode Island -3
Moorehead St PK
Weber St PK
Charleston -1.5
Cleveland St -2
 
Now the reason why I am laying $5,000 on each is because during the superbowl, I had laid $60k on Steelers first half and won; however, my bookie did not honour the bet as he said that I bet on the Steelers for the game.  Therefore the solution to that was that he will give me $60k to bet today and only today.
 
If I lose, I am down 60k and done for the year; however, if I win I am rolling and will be ready for MARCH MADNESS. 
 
I haven't locked any of these bets in yet so ALL input will be GREATLY APPRECIATED

I should mention that the $60k that was wagered during superbowl was not all mine......It was me and 2 friends.  I had 30k, by other two friends had 15k each

No, its not free.  I have to play to 60k tonight and only tonight.  If I lose, I am down 60k and have to pay up but if I win then I am up 60k

UHHHHH... here is some advice, get a new bookie.  How anyone can't get a 60k superbowl bet right is either.... not very good at booking or very good at screwing. 

I suggest you call him up and put it all on the Arizona Cardinals to cover in a close game.  Take the over as well, as I sense a last second 100yd defensive TD that works well towards the over.

Whatever you decide GL.

A) get a new bookie if this story is true
B)..why do you have to play 60k? How is this a bonus to you for your bookie fucking up? The fact that you didnt get paid your 60k 1st half  clearly has nothing to do with the 60k you have riding today...so this makes little sense to me on the corelation part of those 2..

I agree with XFactor, get a new bookie.  It would be hard to pass up "free" $60K to play, but think about it, you won that money and he screwed up.  Now he is placing you in a position to lose what you already won!   Don't give him the opportunity.  Tell him to
_ _ _ _ OFF!!!

Personally, I don't like the morehead St. play.......they've been up and down this year and Jacksonville St. has been better than expected.  Morehead St. doesn't have great pg play and that is important on the road.
 
like the charleston and samford plays
 
cleveland st. looks good cause 2 key guys might be out for ill-chi

I have been with this same bookie for 3 years now and this is the first time this problem has occurred.  I didn't ask for input about the bookie or myself, I asked for input on the games today.  If you don't have any input just shut up!!!

If you didn't expect anyone to comment on your situation then you should have left out the drama and simply posted your plays and asked for play advise only!

Actually I was with him right before the game and told him by bet personally.  I guess I screwed up as well and that is why I am accepting the offer he proposed.

You are right and I apologize, however, I just thought I would share my dilema and hope for some great input from some great cappers whose posts I have been reading.

You are correct!!!!  I was also on the phone trying to get my wife to go out somewhere and not come home with her friends until the superbowl was done.

why not do the really really smart thing and just put 60 grand on one of those 6 team parlays that you hit at about a 2% clip at and then you will be able to retire.
