Vanzack,

I am a fan of yours and know you will rebound next year. 

I have posted here in the past that I don't believe someone can make serious money doing this, and have asked professional gamblers to at least show parts of  their tax return , the line where they declare all this gambling income from FanDuel or whatever they use. I dont need a tax return but just that one line from a sample year where you won big. Are you willing to do it?   Just that one line showing gambling income is what I am after. Nobody has taken me up on the offer yet though....

Preferable like 3 years of that one line showing gambling income.....

I also think SMU may still make it , even if they lose to Clemson.........several sites have them in no matter what happens, assuming they dont get rolled by Clemson....they will move up this week in rankings.....

The other issue i possibly see is, what if Georgia loses the SEC title game and has 3 losses?  Will they be knocked out?

I say no, because then it would set a precedence for teams not to make title game, so they dont get an extra loss.........must give priority to conference title game participants.

That is exactly why I made the bet    $$$$$$$$    They are not taking SC over Bama........just like last year....Bama is ratings.

Ok, so then we have one spot for:

Alabama, South Carolina, Ole Miss, Mizz  -3 loss teams

2 loss teams won't be considered?  Miami (finished), SMU if they lose?

Here is another way of looking at it, we have 9 teams locked into the playoffs right now. 

Oregon, OSU,Texas, Penn State, Georgia, Tenn, ND,   Boise State or other G5 winner, and Indiana.

10, 11  will be      ACC winner    and   Big 12     winner

12?????    So many to choose from Bama,  SMU  (if clemson beats smu) , South Carolina, Ole Miss, Miami 10-2,  and loser of the Big 12 championship,,  or other 2 loss Big 12 teams.....

Here is what USA today has right now as of 9m sat night,

1. Oregon (11-0)
2. Texas (10-1)
3. SMU (11-1)
4. Boise State (11-1)
5. Penn State (10-1)
6. Notre Dame (11-1)
7. Georgia (10-2)
8. Tennessee (10-2)
9. Ohio State (10-2)
10. Indiana (10-1)
11. Miami (10-2)
12. Arizona State (9-2)

So they are going to take SC over Alabama?  Even though Alabama beat them? The committee also understands the name of the school, and TV ratings. See last year with FSU vs Alabama....

I thought the main criteria by the committee is head to head if a tie exists...............

I have a large postion of "NO".   I don't see how they can pass Alabama or Ole Miss, since SC lost to both of them? 

 But  I see one site now saying they have a 50 percent chance of making it after beating Clemson. Any thoughts??  

All the bets are online so there is no way to disguise it.    And just what is a sharp or steam bet???    With many thousands of dollars bet by customers, would they think a $200 bet on the Bears or Indiana Hoosiers is a steam/sharp bet????

I have won consistently over 5 years with many bets across all sports and am approaching 5 figures profit.   Will they ban me or is

this profit considered chump change?? 

@thehuntman

 Thanks. Is that at Fan Duel?

I live in Illinois and they dont post odds on Illinois teams.  What does Fan Duel have ?  I see that Toledo is 20-1 to make playoffs.

thank you

As stated in first message in the thread, I am in Illinois and they dont post odds for Illinois teams. We can not bet on Illinois teams.

Can you just tell me the odds??????

@TheBlackKnight

 What are NIU odds right now at Fan Duel?  I see they have odds to make the playoffs up (7pm central).

I am in Illinois and can not bet it on fan duel. What odds do any of you see who are not in Illinois?

And what are odds to with the MAC currently???

I was able to get in finally, I think they were just busy.....
