After drudging through several months of sports boredom, today is the day of renewed excitement!!! College football friends!!! Just made my first two straight bets of the season, and hoping for another good year. Good luck to all of you who bet CFB, and may you hit over 55%. and btw, lets all hope for Utah by more than a field goal ;-)

After going 6-4 in week 1 (thank you Boise), I just bought 7 games for today:
Haw +3 Army
Haw is simply the better team
So Car -3 Ga
ND-Mich under 52.5
major rain
OSU -8 MiFl
buckeyes overpower
Ore-Tenn over 52
127-0 combined last week
FSU +7 okla
Inexperienced QB for OK
Iowa -13.5 ISU
Looking back...foolish bet
I usually lay off the NFL, but I think I found value with these 2, so I bought them:
NE-CIN over 45.5
IND-HOU over 48
Lets see how it goes...

Just barely made that ND/Mich; it stopped raining about an hour before game time! Good thing Crist got hurt in the first half, you'd have gone down there. Man, that Michigan quarterback is good, innt he?

No joke there....and I dont know if he is that good or the domes defense is that bad
Edit: Sorry for the short reply Mosca...yes, Robinson does look very good, what did he have, 500+ yards of offense...incredible! Glad to see Oregon took care of business as well. Was getting worried there for awhile. Now if only the pros come through. Of coure they won't, which is why I generally lay off on Sunday.

I've only recently been reading about sports betting.
>Haw +3 Army
>Haw is simply the better team
Haw? Hawaii???
Better team? Well isn't that reflected in the odds?
>ND-Mich under 52.5
>major rain
H'mmm. Interesting. Rain is your motive for this bet. Okay. Doesn't everyone else also have a weather report saying "Major Rain"? Don't a few have a professional meteorologist's weather forecast?
>OSU -8 MiFl
>buckeyes overpower
These two broads kept saying Go Buckeyes, but they went to school there and that is "their" team, so I've nothing but their enthusiasm to judge by. Seems your bet turned out right though.
>FSU +7 okla
>Inexperienced QB for OK
Again, isn't this known to everyone and to the extent that it is thought relevant that information is already reflected in the odds being offered? How do you know its a good bet to make?
>Iowa -13.5 ISU
>Looking back...foolish bet
Why is it a foolish bet?
>I usually lay off the NFL, ...
Confused me there. I was trying to analyze this but then realized that by "lay off" you meant "avoid" rather than bet excess action on an opposing team.

Hope they won for you.

Fleastiff, I appreciate your comments. Please let me make some as well. I have found that early in the season it is easier to find winners versus the books. Trends are not yet well defined, and younger players hve not yet settled in. Knowing this, and the books do as well, through research (about 25 hours a week), I try to find inconsistencies between the posted lines and my own findings. That i why I don't bet the NFL very often. IMHO, I think there too many FBS games for the books to be able to put the proper amount of time handicapping each one. For example, Wisconsin was giving.40 yesterday to San Jose State. They were off by 20. Some are very close. ND-Mich o/u was 52.5. 52 point were scored. The rain did move that down a little.
I guess what I am saying is that with a little research, reasonable value can be found. The comments I make with my picks are merely one of the factors I use.
Also, keep in mind that lines are set by people, and they make mistakes quite often. Unlike most other casino games, SB is not a game of chance, and is one the few that can have consistant positive results.
No matter how long you research to dice, you cant predict the results.

I hate to make hasty picks, but since I will not be Nevada until Sunday evening, I gotta do what I gotta do.
7 college and 2 NFL picks this week:
Tex -3 TTU
can't understand why the line has moved so far
Iowa -1.5 Ariz
road fav shows Iowa/Big 10 power game
Ala -23.5 Duke
line should be 50
ECU +17.5 VT
acc is a joke
PSU -21 Kent
Paterno angry after last week
KSU -4 ISU
Snyder wins the games he should
USC -13 Min
SoCal pure talent crushes worst team in Big 10
NYG - IND over 48
Indy D horrible, O is still great. Manning bros in shoot-out
MIN - MIA over 40
both teams in mid-20's this week
Thinking I should move this to a Blog instead? Any comments?

Now that the sweat on my brow has been wiped away (thank you Ely for righting USC's wrong from yesterday), I have come through with a third profitable weekend in a row.
This week:
5-4 overall
4-3 college
1-1 NFL
Season:
19-9 overall
16-8 college
3-1 NFL
Time to start researching again. I will be in NV on Thursday this week, so no hasty picks again....

Sigh!!! My schedule changed so I have to buy my games this evening. I think this might be the week that my profit goes out the window.
Of course, the smart play is to stand pat...but what is the fun of that.
If anyone has any 'hot tips', lay 'em on me. Having great dificulty finding good plays for the weekend. Way too many home dogs.

I like the Stanford -4, I have $200 on that myself. But ... Over 48?!? With the way Dallas is scoring points the last 10 games?
Unless you think HOU will score 35 or more, of course. But Dallas's D is pretty good ...
If I were you, I'd hedge this one ...

Here is my thinking....Hou gets out to a big lead forcing Dallas to pass. Hou has given up a ton of yards vs the pass. I am thinking around 31-21 or some such...

Hey, it's your money and your call! But I will offer this wager ...
Loser (I'll take the UNDER 48) has to put in his signature line, on this forum, for the remainder of the NFL regular season, the following:
"I made a stupid sporte bet, and I am clearly too stupid to talk about gambling in any way, shape, or form - especially sports betting. ItsCalledSoccer (or avargov, if you win) is, by far, the most intelligent, wise, and intuitive sports bettor in the history of gambling, and you ignore his advice to your own peril."

Exhale, exhale. With the Jets just scoring...my bankroll, and profit for this season is intact.
Here are the number for this horrible week:

Season:
CFB: 18-13-1 58.1%
NFL: 5-4 55.6%
OVR: 23-17-1 57.5%
Because of a huge bet on the Mia/NYJ over, profit for the week was $190, which I guess is really all that matters. Need to buy some 'Just for Men' to take care of the new gray from today.
Off to change my signature...hats off to ItsCalledSoccer for his correct side.

Meh, that's fine, you can just cut it off after the last "gambling" if you want!
I never did like the big chase bet at the end. I don't bet on too many games any more, just the ones I'm really comfortable with, so I end up winning about 70% of my sports bets these days. So far, for football, I'm 3-for-3 (WAS +3.5 v. DAL, Stan -4 v. ND, and Dal:Hou U-48), so so far so good. I also be on a bunch of World Cup games when I was in South Africa (interesting way they take sports bets there), and was 5-for-8, winning about R2,000 in the end, a little less than $300.

I can't find the o/u yet for the game. Probably late tomorrow or early Wednesday. I would assume somewhere in the mid to upper 50's if I had to guess. Which side are you looking at?
BTW, Oregon is giving 7 pieces of candy at this point. It opened at 6 it appears, so the money is moving to the Oregon side. Although I am not real sure that is the right side to be on. Stanford's D is looking fairly stout. And it looked liked the O line was filled with some rugged fellas. But then again, Oregon is averaging, what?, 55 points a game or some such.

My thoughts are that the O/U is a better bet in this game. You have high-flying Oregon against tough-as-nails-to-the-point-of-being-unsportsmanlike Stanford ... only Stanford can score big points, too. I have no feel at all for the line, I really think it could go either way by as much as 14-17 points. Too variable for my gambling tastes, but it'll be a helluva watch.
It's hard to say which side to look at without seeing the actual O/U, but your guess sounds about right. The total score against Sac St. was 69, and against Wake was 92, though. I think I'd have to see the O/U and then decide if ND or Wake more closely resembles Orgeon, and make adjustments.

Wow. Vegas adjusts quickly. I was thinking it would be a no-brainer at 55 or so, but 65.5?!? Yikes. I can think on it and pass that on to you if you want, but I'm not going to put anything on it at 65.5.

Yeah, do that. Not sure if I am interested in it at 65.5 either. I think it will go down a bit though. If I were to guess, will be a lot of money on the under at that line. Guess the books are thinking 31-24 or some such. Which, now that I am thinking about it, will probably be pretty close.

Well, all the "experts" and "simulations" say pick the under. But personally, I'm still going to avoid it for this week. Sorry about that, maybe another time.

This is some fun reading, nice job avargov & ICS!
I know if I lived near enough to NV to be betting, I'd be all over this thread. Good luck with your bets.
