I'm taking drake +6 and tennessee -5

1/22/2008 2:06:48 AM

Tennessee just -5???


this has something fishy written ALL over it... like no team has ever covered against Kentucky after playing two teams ranked in the top 30 back to back or something odd like that...



hmmm

1/22/2008 2:57:47 PM

they shouldn't even be favored in my opinion.

1/22/2008 3:03:01 PM

and why is that? stupid ass

1/22/2008 4:04:56 PM

Can anyone give me a REAL reason to not take Tennessee tonight?

1/22/2008 4:17:45 PM

their win margin lately?

maybe somebody sees a fall off/ getting lax with the competition.

1/22/2008 4:20:49 PM

I don't think TENN will lay back any against a team like Kentucky. Even though Kentucky is down, they are still UK and beating them is always a good feeling. Kinda like a, "kick em when they are down" type situation.

1/22/2008 4:22:11 PM

well bet them then

you know you want to.

1/22/2008 4:24:51 PM

yeah, that wont be an issue at all... the issue will be playing two tough teams in a row, both big "emotion" games. Just going by numbers and talent they should destroy Kentucky but Tennessee will lose some games obviously and this spread just seems fishy, like they are begging people to take Tennessee big.



of course, saying all of that, I will probably still take Tennessee big

1/22/2008 4:27:42 PM

well bet them then

you know you want to.

65-35-2

Tennessee -5
Creighton -5
New Mexico -5.5
Michigan +18
Ohio State -7
Wake +11.5

good luck everyone. my cash plays for the night will probably be new mexico, creighton, ohio st, and maybe michigan (especially if the spread goes up anymore). somethin fishy about tennessee like ya'll have said.

1/22/2008 4:40:09 PM

i took tennessee -4.5 for 500 (yall are overthinking this) and the dukes +5.5 for 200 esp after their leading scorer Young will retunr this game after being hurt for the last 3

1/22/2008 4:47:55 PM

may take tenn as well... depends what happens to the line before i call it in. (get my lines around 6:15)

actually, what the hell am i thinking? im not going to touch michigan/wisconsin with any cash and i'm gonna switch over to wiscy as far as my tww record goes.

1/22/2008 4:51:36 PM

idk, probably just lowered as UNC and UCLA lost w/ huge spreads

1/22/2008 5:11:56 PM

why is everyone high on creighton when drake is 16-1 and +6 pt dogs?

1/22/2008 6:16:51 PM

anybody betting on CIAA games?

you get good lines!!11

1/22/2008 6:29:05 PM

^^drake's leading scorer is probably out again

1/22/2008 6:53:25 PM

let's bet when this douche ^^ will make a lame troll attempt and contribute nothing to this thread...over/under is 2 posts down

1/22/2008 7:30:05 PM

Did you ever lose time from work or school due to gambling?
Has gambling ever made your home life unhappy?
Did gambling affect your reputation?
Have you ever felt remorse after gambling?
Did you ever gamble to get money with which to pay debts or otherwise solve financial difficulties?
Did gambling cause a decrease in your ambition or efficiency?
After losing did you feel you must return as soon as possible and win back your losses?
After a win did you have a strong urge to return and win more?
Did you often gamble until your last dollar was gone?
Did you ever borrow to finance your gambling?
Have you ever sold anything to finance gambling?
Were you reluctant to use "gambling money" for normal expenditures?
Did gambling make you careless of the welfare of yourself or your family?
Did you ever gamble longer than you had planned?
Have you ever gambled to escape worry, trouble, boredom or loneliness?
Have you ever committed, or considered committing, an illegal act to finance gambling?
Did gambling cause you to have difficulty in sleeping?
Do arguments, disappointments or frustrations create within you an urge to gamble?
Did you ever have an urge to celebrate any good fortune by a few hours of gambling?
Have you ever considered self destruction or suicide as a result of your gambling?

I'd be willing to BET there are a number of Pete Roses in this thread that don't have a handle on the ones in bold and especially underlined.

Call it trolling all you want, hockeyboy. Just don't go around kidding yourself.

1/22/2008 7:36:38 PM

well i can honestly answer "no" to all of those questions, but if there's people in here who answer yes...

THEN Mr Scrumples THINKS YOU SHOULD STOP GAMBLING

there, now I've made your point clear and you don't have to follow up everyone's comments with belittling snippits, you're job is done here batman

1/22/2008 8:06:35 PM

I'm Batman.

I really want to learn how to bet on sports somewhat intelligently. I sometimes dive in and try to read this thread, but I always feel swamped. Are these all parlays? Individual bets? Are you guys using any kind of statistics to look back and see how successful your gut has been?

thanks.

1/22/2008 8:48:50 PM

for me it is too complicated to type it out on here. it'd be like 2000 words and i cant commit that time

1/22/2008 8:58:11 PM

^^ I keep track of mine as I go, yearly percentage


few years ago I did percentage by conference, spread etc.

1/22/2008 8:58:29 PM

your bastards better win by 5 or more

1/22/2008 8:58:54 PM

I took Michigan, Tenn, WF, and Drake

1/22/2008 9:00:03 PM

nice!

1/22/2008 9:08:18 PM

i just had UT and drake tonight

1/22/2008 9:08:45 PM

monvural it's straight bets unless they say it's a parlay

intelligently = not betting money that is important to you

what you might want to do is keep track of your plays for a while without betting, and see how much you would be up/down

1/22/2008 9:10:10 PM

yeah, but thats kind of hard... its like playing poker without anything on the line, you take chances you normally wouldnt because there is nothing to lose

1/22/2008 9:10:54 PM

just got back from work. not looking good for creighton, and i shoulda stuck with michigan. then put my money where my mouth was on wake.


do i go to the bar to watch new mexico-utah, tenn-UK, osu-illinois?

1/22/2008 9:50:19 PM

i told you to bet drake dude

1/22/2008 9:59:19 PM

i really didn't think it would matter to be honest with you. Got 3 outta 4 in play right now.

there is a difference between thinking a team should win vs. should a team be favored....


NO ONE thinks the Giants should be favored over the Pats, but I bet someone out there thinks the Giants might win

1/22/2008 10:46:03 PM

whatever you say banjo buck

1/22/2008 10:47:05 PM

jesus... i might go 0-4 tonight money wise and 1-5 tww wise.
