Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. I see all these posts about mooses, fixed game, etc. etc. I myself couldn't decide which side to take on this game or the Rose Bowl game and decided to just bet the over in both games. I think all these people who lost the cover on the Ok.State game are becoming too emotional because they have used really bad money management when it comes to their bankroll. Guys, there are still a few bowl games left and throw in the NFL playoff games to make some money. Just chalk it up to a lost bet and to the winners on the Stanford covering the game, move on too, no need to brag and bash because we all know we've been to that side of a moose. GL covers members.

Most of my tickets were parlays with Ok St ML, and I had a straight bet on Ok St -4.5. Before Stanford's kick to win in regulation, I considered all tickets lost in my mind. So, to win with my parlays was pretty fortunate in my opinion. Moral of the story, in games this tight, better off just picking ML. 4.5 pts is huge with 2 evenly matched teams. Especially with a winners like Andrew Luck and Justin Blackmon.

Agreed 100% same scenario in the Rose Bowl game. WR from Wisconsin fumbles the bowl near the out of bounds yet it miraculously stays in bounds, few plays here and there, not to mention an extra second more and Wisconsin gets one final heave to the end zone to tie the game. Had they tied that game. every member in this forum would have a "FU Chip Kelly" thread.

OH NO!!!!!!!!!!  I posted in the wrong message!   YUMDOG

I am posting referring to a post that the guy says he would even give up Revis for Luck if he had to!  Sorry, this doesn't belong in this post!

As a Jets fan, I would give up both Holmes and Sanchez and take a chance on an aging Peyton Manning.

Colts would trade Manning out of the AFC altogether, unless got a sweet deal like Cincy did from Oak for Palmer.

I'm hoping that CAR get a stud saftey or corner. Rumor of Justin Blackmon?   My god Cam, Smith & then Blackmon & the running game - Actually excited...

Jets will get there, but not under Ryan !

Hey good point.  Thats why its called gambling. But I will say this, I thought it was a touchdown.  Then they dont try to score at the 1 yard line.  What if the field goal was blocked, and Stanford ended up winning the game?  Just food for thought..........
