Absolutely. Greed is what sinks a lot of bettors in the long run. |

Didn't bet the side, but now my over may be fucked because Oregon can't get shit going on offense. |

It's crazy how many people actually believe the games are rigged every time this topic comes up. Even if you are dumb enough to believe that, the fact you would turn around and bet on it, makes you even dumber. |

Point was people often conflate needing to win with must win. They think a team in a back to the wall situation versus a team with nothing to play for is always a shoe in. Problem is if the team was really that good they would never have been in that situation in the first place, so you're not necessarily backing a team you can trust to get the job done. |

I personally don't want to bet this game but might have something small just to watch Needing to win means you aren't good enough to be in a position to avoid that scenario. Not betting the game, just pointing out that is one of the biggest fallacies i see used over and over in handicapping. |

@MRxKrazz Marketing gimmick? How is it a marketing gimmick if he isn't selling anything? |

This is classic Covers. Trolls and haters just waiting to come pile on someone when they are in a rough stretch, even though they have posted winning results for years. Some things never change. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone |

Amazing people cry about sports being rigged and still continue to bet on it. Try to find the logic in that. |

To much a disparity in the results unlike NFL where the game lands so close to the number often, making the points you are receiving far more valuable.

It can benefit you to grab something like that early I agree, because things can change and you can have great value on a ticket. True openers are released week of game which was 8.5 consensus. |

Your record is unsurpassed by anything I've seen. And I have no doubt you will finish the season in the black. But, I've been doing this for nearly 50 years and I don't care who you are, no one is immune from a bad run. I once lost 17 NFL bets in a row. Obviously thought about quitting. Then I ran a Phil Simms like 22-3. You know better than I do--if you play long enough you're going to take hits. A bit of gambling levity. When I went 0-17, my local told me a story about a hapless guy who lost 20 straight football games. Feeling bad for him, he suggested that maybe the guy try something different, maybe hockey. The guy replied " but I don't know anything about hockey." Hang in there. You're exceptionally good at this.
This can't be understated. Even the best cappers have losing seasons at some point. If someone has been doing this for a decade or longer, and tells you they never had a losing season in a given sport, they are flat out lying and likely trying to sell you something. |

Nice previews each week, I enjoy reading them.
I like Boise off the by week, and the over. I think the Rebels D is showing a lot of cracks from early in the season, but the offense has operated so much better than they were with Sluka under center. Looking at a 45-35 type game. I'll be there so it should be a fun game to watch.

Oregon number one in ranking only. They aren't better than Georgia or Ohio State on a neutral field in my opinion. Maybe not better than Texas either. |

Like Miami and South Carolina. I think a lot of people are going to be lining up to take Louisville with how Miami escaped their last two games. Think they are due to put in a solid full game performance and win by double digits.

I played SC +3. Probably a low scoring game that could be determined by which quarterback makes a costly interception. |
