This line is a joke. As long as Chappell plays, Indiana will easily cover, and I'd be SHOCKED if they're down by more than 10 points at any time in the game.
The scores in recent IU games has been deceiving, and they're tough to beat at home. This comes right down to the wire. I'd take Indiana at +10.5. +17 is literally free money. Don't fall into the trap. |

Dude have you even seen Auburn play? Cam Newton is the most unstoppable player in college football. I bet on Kentucky +6 a few weeks back without having seen Auburn play, and I was shocked watching the first half of that game. Newton is a man amongst boys, and their RB is a stud as well. Not a chance in heck they lose 3-4 games this season, and they may go undefeated.

So what did you end up doing?

I would strongly consider letting it ride. These kinds of situations are so few and far between, that you have to consider it as an experience. This is what gambling is all about. $1,000 on one game. Don't rob yourself of that rush.
Having said that, if you really need the money and you're going to withdraw it right afterward to pay bills etc., then by all means hedge by putting $400 on the Braves. But if you're going to use it as betting money, there's at least a decent chance it'll eventually be gone anyway, and you'll go out with a whimper. If you're going to win, then win big and trust yourself on this. You chose the Giants for a reason. Man up and collect on the full amount. |

Well, there's two ways to look at this... One, us D-backs backers are unlucky, as they've pitched and batted better today, but find themselves on the short end of the score. The other way to look at it is that the D-backs are a really bad team, and this is what bad teams do: find ways to lose. We knew they were bad when we bet them, but we took a chance anyway. So in that case, we can't really complain about bad luck. We backed a loser.

Man it's a singles parade. Someone needs to put a charge into one of these suckers.

On one hand it looks like the D-backs were the right play. On the other hand they've really missed out on some chances here. Bumgardner's getting by with junk.

Really like the D-backs here. Bumgardner is a little off schedule having gotten an extra day of rest, it's a day game with the stadium likely to be half empty, they're looking ahead to San Diego, and most importantly, Enright is coming off an absolutely dominant performance that flew under the radar because they lost.
This is the D-backs last chance of the season to effect the playoffs, and I think they jump out early and hold on late. |

Why Georgia HAS to be in over LSU and anyone who says otherwise is an idiot...
in College Football I'm not a fan of LSU at all, I just think the logic that Georgia should go to the National Championship is ridiculous. You can't get totally outplayed at home against a subpar SC team and also get totally outplayed on the road against a good Tenn team and expect to play for the title over someone who lost their two games in a combined 6 OT's. I don't like LSU and their coach is a moron, but arguing for Georgia is laughable.

in College Football I'm sorry Ebaylor but I don't think that's true. The key is that Georgia LOST to Tennessee, and lost badly. The style points are secondary to the actual fact that they lost. That's the key. Style points don't matter if both teams beat another team. A win is a win. But when one team beats a top team, and another team gets destroyed by them, I think that's a valid point.

in College Football For the record, I think you have to take a hard look at Oklahoma. They won their conference, and beat and dominated the #1 team in the country. They have two tight road losses, one in which their starting QB got knocked out in the first drive.
To me, if you want to be in the National Championship and have two losses, you have to have at least been competitive in all of your games. That rules out Georgia and Virginia Tech.

in College Football ny I'm sorry but your logic doesn't add up. Fact is, Georgia got rocked by a Tennessee team that LSU beat, and got totally outplayed on their home field by a mediocre, at best, South Carolina team. There is no way they can go in against a team that lost in a combined 6 OT's and won the SEC. You can try to make it make sense all you want, but it's ridiculous.
LSU lost to two teams with legitimate Heisman candidates elevating their play tremendously in triple overtime games. Georgia got totally outplayed TWICE and couldn't even bother to give Tennessee a game. They had their shot, and they're not worthy. Sorry.

Gosh tough calls all around in this one. I'm not in love with the Under, but the Over 37 is absolutely a poor bet. The rains are coming down torrential, and we've got a one score game now. Washington will abandon the pass trying to protect a close game, up until they're down more than 7 points, and Hawaii will employ short, easy routes to march down the field without the turnovers that plagued them so much in the 1st half. Tick tick tick tick tick.

No bashing here, but I see the Cards going up early and then deflating, or just deflating period. Last week was a bad, demoralizing loss, and Cleveland is a good team. I would almost feel better about the Cards if they were going on the road.

hlutz I just remembered about this thread and hope you didn't lose too much. Tough to have it be over in the first quarter.

I'm not impressed with Fresno State. Their record at the start of the year was a mirage, and the first real team they played, Boise State, gashed their D like it wasn't even there. I don't know much about New Mexico State, but if their offense is good, I would a cover is likely. Also, even in bad weather, looking at how bad these two defenses are statistically, I definitely wouldn't take the under. 64 points? That means if anyone gets into the high 30's you're probably toast. I'm not going to bet either way, but I would lean towards the over. |

You are a judgemental know-nothing loser. For your sake, I hope when you die God doesn't decide to "take out the garbage" you piece of dirt.

One other thing to consider hlutz... I would say it's very rare for a high scoring game to go without multiple occurences of a team scoring two straight times, so even if you feel good about the bet, you're going to be sweating bullets all game long. Definitely not a sure thing.
