Thank you Jay Cutler!

Haha after losing like 30$ on the NBA last night on centsports the site crashed and they had to revert. Thank god!

11/8/2008 9:18:04 AM

I think my new NBA betting strategy will be simple, "bet against the clippers".

11/8/2008 9:33:21 AM

Last year my strategy was bet for the lakers. That one span where they covered like 12 times in a row made me $texas.

11/8/2008 9:47:30 AM

Yeah I don't have much on centsports but I actually won 3 bets last night all about ten points above the spread:
heat over spurs (maybe they were favored idk), knicks over wizards (+4?), and I picked Nevada in the football game which worked out well at +1. Hopefully they'll give me back the 2-3 dollars I won.

11/8/2008 12:21:17 PM

Dammit, the bets I made are gone, so I've missed a bunch of morning games.

11/8/2008 12:32:10 PM

under in Carolina game is looking good

11/8/2008 1:07:24 PM

I used my free november check to withdrawl majority of last month's winnings. Gotta find a lock to double what I left in there so I have something to play with tomorrow.

Texas Tech O70?

11/8/2008 1:26:26 PM

NW +11 and Minn -8.5

Least I have UNC -4 and the U working for me.

Taking both the NC State and Marshall ML's. That should be entertaining.

11/8/2008 2:08:23 PM

Western Michigan +8 was my biggest CFB bet this week

I also like O69 for TTU/OSU tonight and PSU -7.5 at 3:30

11/8/2008 2:12:20 PM

My gf's dad is a huge Penn state fan so I have been following them all season and at first I confidently bet on them -8... but I changed my mind and bet small on Iowa +8, we'll see how it works out. I'll probably bet on the O for the Ttech game as well, gotta wait till my earlier bets clear on Centsports.

11/8/2008 2:14:43 PM

I love the fact that PSU got passed by TTU and they feel slighted by the BCS. I think they'll win big.

11/8/2008 2:20:37 PM

I agree, I think they will win big, but I would rather bet small on Iowa to keep it close then bet big on Penn St to win out, this way I'm happy either way Unless they lose.

WTF Carolina/Gtech, now they start scoring?

11/8/2008 3:08:19 PM

fuckin Iowa St. is really gonna fuck up my day today if they keep playing like they have in the first fucking 3 minutes

11/8/2008 3:44:53 PM

Fucking Texas couldn't hang on for the last 5 minutes and had to let that lame ass long TD by. Aholes!

11/8/2008 4:13:54 PM

Penn St is starting to turn it around or atleast it looks that way

11/8/2008 4:24:42 PM

I'd love it if Marshall could FUCKING SCORE.

But NC state ML makes me

11/8/2008 4:46:30 PM

^ too soon

11/8/2008 4:51:54 PM

yeah, i wish i did NCSU moneyline too

11/8/2008 4:52:05 PM

I wish I had bet more on it, but oh well, I've been trying to not be as aggressive on centsports.

And I reallly need Marshall to step it up, got their ML too.

[Edited on November 8, 2008 at 5:06 PM. Reason : a]

11/8/2008 5:04:31 PM

lol I took ECU -275 so I'd have something to cheer for in case I went to the game.

11/8/2008 5:51:13 PM

Yesterday was gooooot


The only game I really like today is MIA(-8.5). Holmgren is 2-12 ATS when he plays at 1:00 on the east coast. He's been stubborn and unwilling to change the way he prepares throughout his career, I don't see that changing now that he's on the way out.

11/9/2008 11:45:10 AM

3-0 so far today

Jags -6.5 BIG
Titans -3
Falcons/Saints O50 (on a bullshit late meaningless TD haha)

11/9/2008 4:11:20 PM

^ I'm with you on the Atlanta O, I was praying for a bullshit garbage time TD there haha.

W Miami -360 (doesn't really count, and I got lucky there )
W Pats/Bills U41.5
W Pats -4
W Titans -3
W Falcons -1
W Falcons/Saints O50
W Houston/Baltimore O43
W Jags -7
L Jags/Detroit U43
W GB +2.5 (assuming this one will be good)

11/9/2008 4:15:03 PM

Holy shit I was praying at the end of that one.

Panthers -10 as well!

Went from 44 to around 80 on centsports so far today! woo!

11/9/2008 7:20:01 PM

Yeah, Panthers like to make us all sweat, good stuff.

11/9/2008 7:21:06 PM

5-1, lost the Chargers over

11/9/2008 7:51:49 PM

Thoughts on tonights game? I'm considering taking the Giants ML at +125.

11/9/2008 8:01:24 PM

I took philly and the over

no idea why but I did

11/9/2008 8:10:29 PM

I ended up taking the giants ML and the over. The way my luck has been going today though I'm thinking it might pay off Currently 10-1 today though some were very lucky (Panthers covering, O for the falcons).

11/9/2008 8:21:32 PM

Finished 14-1 yesterday

11/10/2008 5:35:16 AM

Well, I suck at NBA betting thusfar. NBA and MLB are always difficult to bet since they play so many games and have so many up and down nights.

Went ahead and bet on Duke tonight at -37. I think they're a much better team than last year with Plumlee as a post presence.

[Edited on November 10, 2008 at 2:17 PM. Reason : Duke]

11/10/2008 2:08:45 PM

I'll go with you on the Duke bet. They should crush them.

11/10/2008 6:27:30 PM

Well, Duke's not exactly "scoring" so far, but atleast Presbyterian already has 5 fouls.

11/10/2008 7:14:16 PM

I bet Arizona -10 tonight. I think thats as good as a lock, but I'm worried as cent sports is being a little buggy with some bets. Apparently when this has happened in the past they have corrected it but I'm worried they won't. We'll see!

11/10/2008 7:34:12 PM

I know this has been posted before, but what sportsbooks are you guys using? This weekend was finally the weekend I decided to quit bodog and go to something else

11/10/2008 7:52:35 PM

Most of us are noobs who just bet on centsports. Grandmaster definitely lays down the real cash though so I'm sure he can answer you.

edit: I actually think he may have talked about what sportsbook he was using earlier in the thread.

http://www.betjamaica.com has an A+ on sportsbookreview.com and they also give you a 100 dollar free play with your first deposit of 100+ or 20% whichever you feel like taking.

I have cashed out twice so far. Once at 5pm EST Friday and the check arrived FedEx at 10AM Tuesday. And once on Thursday afternoon and the check was here 10AM Monday (today) and I had tracking on Friday/Saturday. By far the best book I have played with. Though my experience is limited to Bodog, Oddsmaker, Sportsbook, BetUS (D+ on SBR) Last two are from a buddy's perspective.

Don't let ^ fool you, I am by no means any kind of "real cash" player. I might throw around more than 10 cent bets, but I'm still working off of my initial 100 dollar deposit + 75 dollar guaranteed free play - all 8 outcome - parlay. I don't know what I have netted so far, but it's substantial, to me at least and considerably more than I would have though when I popped my sportsbet cherry last year sometime when I drunkenly dropped $300 (that I didn't really have budgeted) down (c/o my buddy's book) on LSU vs Florida in that game that came down to just a field goal. Once I experienced that rush it was over! Kidding, but I've definitely been lucky using a combination of friends/vegasedge/sportsbookreview/jaybeeLoL/my gut/intuition picks. I just like to have fun and throw around a bit more than I should sometimes, but I never dip into bill money or anything like that. I'm 98% sure that I have enough self control to stop when it comes time to. Until then, let's play some fuckin' ball!

my betjm referral bonus is not significant enough to worry about, but if you're signing up anyway, my account number is 39234.

Definitely check out the SBR Recommended List. It's how I found betjm (they had the best bonuses and are owned by The Greek, which is probably the top online book for professional handicappers)

I'm rambling now though, hopefully you can pick through that mess and find some positive advice.

Haha, well you sounded like you laid it down. That pure hatred of Sebastian Janikowski last night was tangible.

11/10/2008 8:38:56 PM

lol, I laid it all down on that game, albeit not thousands of thousands dollars it would have still broken me after my cash out. I don't know when I would have redeposited or if even. Quite an emotional outcome regardless.

11/10/2008 8:42:55 PM

lol grandmaster, you sound drunk enthusiastic, but I'm the exact same way.. also I bet duke 36.5 and cardinals 9.5 tonight... I've been doing an experiment on NBA with wagerline.com and bet the team experts consensus on the games, I'm about 54% winning this early in the season, which is slightly profitable after the vig.

11/10/2008 8:45:26 PM

I thought the Duke bet was lost but they poured on the scoring. It's gonna be close.

11/10/2008 8:54:27 PM

^^^^^^^ i currently use sportsbook.com. I started to use it b/c it was one of the first sites to get poker back up back in the day when everything started to get shut down. I bet on football games every week and have enjoyed it. i haven't ever deposited money out of there b/c I don't need it right now. My brother has deposited a few grand out of there and has never had a problem getting a check. I really enjoy it and would recommend it to anyone. I have been loving it lately b/c I have won about $300 the past two week betting football games.

11/10/2008 9:01:39 PM

If you're just starting out there is absolutely no sense in choosing a book that isn't on that recommended list.

http://sportsbookreview.com/sbr/sportsbook/

I'm not saying you won't have an enjoyable experience with some of the lesser rated books, but why play somewhere that is notorious for canceling bets, not honoring odds, and sometimes just plain refusing to pay out. Especially in situations where you hit some monster parlay with your free play and they make up some excuse to get out of paying you 8 large. Just read up, excellent resource that site is.

11/10/2008 9:12:09 PM

Taking a bunch of random shit today.

Ball St -20.5
Ball St/Miami O55
Jazz +140
Penguins/Red Wings O5.5
Lakers -6
Hawks +160

11/11/2008 5:43:04 PM

Ugh, really need Ball State to step it up.

11/11/2008 8:27:57 PM

Ball st fuck you. Throwing an int in the 4th quarter when you were on your way to a TD and getting stopped on 3rd/4th and goal from the one. Assholes.

11/11/2008 10:11:23 PM

^I stole both of your ML NBA bets and put them in a parlay. Looking good so far.

11/11/2008 10:16:48 PM

Phew, was nice to wake up and see Atlanta held on and the Lakers covered.
