flying home tonight on red eye. I am not sure if I will be able to get bets in this week. I should get home around 9am as long as there arent any delays. If I get home before 10 I will have time but if we are later then I will not.

Might be a good thing. I have a feeling that today might book a loss.

Got home at 8 and fell asleep on the couch. Just woke up but nothing has been posted yet. I will get the bets in if they are posted before I fall back to sleep.

eeks not sure what I am going to do with this weeks.

If I stick to what we have been doing there will be a $280 bet on seahawks. Seems like everyone has them as their confidence pick. Do I bet the entire 280, cut it in half, or skip the game. If I do 280 that may be the end of the game if it loses.

Welp I see what happened. I guess there was a bad line being used. Game will not be bet on as current line is -8

I worked a rattler schedule for 20 years. Every week it was 4pm-midnight, 2pm-10pm, 7am-3pm or 10am-6pm, 6am-2pm, then that same day 10pm-6am. My first 10 years of it, I would stay up after the mid shift. But gradually I got too old for that s#!/ and started taking a 3-4 hour nap.

I don't miss that schedule AT ALL.

So, yeah, I feel your pain.

DAMN should have just taken the large bet at -8. If it would have been -7 or -6.5 I would have but going all the way to 8 was a bit much for me.

Its that time again. Got all of the bets in. Had 2 deviations from the normal bets. The Jags game I did not get it in because it started prior to deadline. Its a shame since we would have won that game. Also the vikings game had a ton of action on it. It would have been $150 bet at -1.5. Unfortunately with the change of QB the line went to -5. I didnt want to put that type of money on the game with a new line. I did decide to make a ML bet on the game for half the amount. We would have had 150 at -1.5 so I did 75 ML at -180. -180 seems like a good line because a lot of sites have it at -250 and if I were to buy the -5 to -2 it was -195.

We also have some other big bets going this week. Packers, Patriots, and Giants. We have our largest bet of the year going on the Packers for $170. This is either going to be a huge week for us or the last week. I don't foresee a break even type of week with the way these bets are. We have $640 wagers for a potential payout of $1164.

$50 Bills -10
$10 Panthers -3.5
$50 Bears +4.5
$80 Vikings pk
$10 Dolphins +3
$20 Steelers -1
$20 Raiders -2.5
$40 Seahawks -5
$40 Broncos +3.5
$170 Packers -4
$80 Patriots -3
$70 Giants +7

damn, kc pulls it out. I guess I should have just ignored the game, but at least the line changed enough that I only did half. Would have had a much bigger loss if it stayed at -1.5. Today is the opposite of the other week where we won all of our large bets and lost the small. This week we are losing all of the big and winning the small. Gotta really root for GB this afternoon.

Alright so we have $300 to play with. I made all of the early game bets and depending on how they go I will do the afternoon ones. If we do poorly in these then I will put an end to it and put the winnings aside for the play off game. Hopefully we can get back on the winning track and make up for last week. LETS GO CHIEFS AND BILLS

$110 Chiefs -6
$140 Bills +3
$20 Cardinals +5
$60 Giants -3
$10 Saints -14
$70 Ravens -10
$40 Packers -5.5
$20 Rams -3.5
$60 Dolphins +11
$20 Rams -3.5

*** edit to add, I am not betting the night game and the monday night game as they are very small bets and I dont feel like tracking them. We were close to break even on todays games.

Boy did we luck out on cowboys. Win by 8 but det went for 2 on the last Td. No reason for them to do that. But if they kick we push. If they score we lose. Luckily they failed.

You should have been more creative than springing for a WOV Spring Fling dinner, it's already been done more than a few times.

You should put it into that WOV poker tournament I was talking about. You could even use some for Bounty money on people.

You already gave me a hard time about dinner. There is also a freeroll for playoff picks game.

I wouldn't mind funding a small poker thing with some of this money if we win anything more if there was enough interest.

I have a feeling there would be a lot of interest in a friendly cash poker tournament with current WOV members. I can think of at least 15 people right off the top of my head that would be interested.

AZDuffman( I'm assuming)

mcallister3200 ( I'm assuming)
MidwestAP(?)
ZK(?) oh nevermind, he's on a permanent hiatus, he would claim it was rigged anyways)
BillRyan(?)
Zcore13( I assume he's a knows how to play poker)
BOZ(? Assuming he's not too pissed off and all the freeloaders that might play)
Fleastiff(? Do you even play poker?)
RisingDough(?)
smurgerburger(?)
BTLWI(? Haven't seen him Post in a while)
DrawingDead(? Haven't seen him post a long time)
You and I.
There's probably a lot of people that don't play alot of Poker( like SOOPOO, WMOAT) that would probably play anyways. There's a ton of people that play that I missed, no doubt some obvious ones.

Perhaps you can spend a little less time harassing your female employees and start coordinating this?😀

I haven’t played poker in maybe 13 years. Not against playing with friends for fun or low stakes but not my thing. It’s Bruce you forgot the screen name on.

This is a great idea. I would be in for sure (if I ever make it out for spring fling).

I’d be most likely not attending, and certainly not playing poker if I did, but thank you.

I think the only thing more embarrassing than losing would be losing with people you know there.

I'd be in for a poker 'tournament', as opposed to a cash game. I used to (college) play a lot of cash games at low stakes and would virtually always win. It was with friends, and after a while it became somewhat unpleasant winning all the time. At one point they accused me of only being able to win because they would all be getting high and I wasn't. So for a short while I would smoke marijuana with them just to be allowed to keep playing! I didn't like the marijuana, and it didn't affect my game.
I guess it is a weakness of my own, but once I'm playing for cash the "friend" part gets subjugated. I've played for quarters with a group of friends over the past few years. They never can understand why I'll go out "rather than put two more quarters" in. I don't think I ever lost in that group.
So Axel.... I'd play a tournament with you guys, but not a cash game.

I'd be in for a poker 'tournament', as opposed to a cash game. I used to (college) play a lot of cash games at low stakes and would virtually always win. It was with friends, and after a while it became somewhat unpleasant winning all the time. At one point they accused me of only being able to win because they would all be getting high and I wasn't. So for a short while I would smoke marijuana with them just to be allowed to keep playing! I didn't like the marijuana, and it didn't affect my game.
I guess it is a weakness of my own, but once I'm playing for cash the "friend" part gets subjugated. I've played for quarters with a group of friends over the past few years. They never can understand why I'll go out "rather than put two more quarters" in. I don't think I ever lost in that group.
So Axel.... I'd play a tournament with you guys, but not a cash game.



Many years ago I played in a home poker game with about six friends. It was great the first year or so but then everybody started getting too serious and they all quit drinking when playing. I quit, I want to play a fun game with friends and drink and smoke and have fun. This game was no longer fun.

I’d be most likely not attending, and certainly not playing poker if I did, but thank you.

I think the only thing more embarrassing than losing would be losing with people you know there.

Perhaps there was some confusion, I was talking about an online tournament.

Bets have been placed. A bunch of line movements. Could this be the first week that the stale lines hurt us? I do not like a lot of these picks so that should be good news for us since I am in last place in the picks game.


$40 Dolphins +10.5
$20 Bills -3.5
$20 Steelers -6.5
$30 Giants +6
$20 Jets +3
$20 Panthers +9.5
$40 Falcons -4

Who are the 'teelers'?
You are giving 7 points with the Cowboys?

Now that we got the typos out of the way, I have watched tons of NFL this year. The Pats have just looked a bit over average. Same with the Cowboys. I think 7 points is a boatload. Who are the Patriot receivers today? Pats 23 Cowboys 22
The Ravens look like the best team in the NFL now. Rams look like an average team. Ravens 38 Rams 24

Bills 12 Broncos 10

The Patriots defense is absolutely nasty, let's get that out of the way. The team has allowed 108 points in ten games, which is naturally 10.8 points per game. The second closest in the league is San Francisco with 155 points allowed.

That is just straight up ridiculous. I don't even care if their opponents have a Patriots independent combined record of 39-49. Allowing only 10.8 points per game is just absurd in today's NFL.

That being said, I took the Cowboys and the points. I saw the Patriots defense against the only strong offense they have faced this year, and I think we all know what the results of that were. I also thought the UNDER was tempting, but lose every time I make a play on those in the Picks Game.

Interestingly, the Patriots have actually scored the fifth most points in the league. They also enjoy the best points differential in the league, by a lot, so I consider them a well-above average team.

That said, they are also playing an above average team, something they are not used to, so I think the Cowboys can at least keep it close.

I would definitely be interested in a WOV poker tournament/game - either online or live at Spring Fling.
So many better men, a few of them friends, are dead. And a thousand thousand slimy things live on, and so do I.

Getting 6.5, I was happy Dallas kicked a FG down 7 on 4th and 7, with 6 minutes to go. NE was going to try and run the clock out, and a successful drive eats enough time to do so. If I'm the owner of the team I fire Garrett on the spot. I have little use for chicken shit head coaches.

I guess I'm now on the SF bandwagon. They beat down GB.

Bills 8-3. BEST QB they have beaten? Marcus Mariota!
They have lost to Mayfield, Brady, and Wentz.
They are 7 point dogs to Dallas who just SUCKED yesterday.

I think I'll end up taking 7 points..... oops... No Thursday games.....

Going to update this now even with an entire quarter to go. Baltimore looks like a superbowl team. As long as Baltimore holds we will be close to the top of the hole that was dug in week 9. Not sure what next week will look like with so the extra games on Thursday. Our bet distribution might be skewed.

Here are the stats for this week. Mission had some issues so the bets were not posted until too late for the afternoon games. I did wager the Sunday night and Monday night games. For the afternoon games it was only a difference of about $30 so nothing to mind blowing so I am going to keep the results on the spreadsheet.

$40 Packers -6
$10 Redskins +10
$20 49ers +5.5
$60 Colts -1.5
$40 Bucs -1.5
$70 Jets -3
$10 Cardinals +2.5
$30 Chargers -3
$30 Steelers +2
$70 Patriots -3.5
$70 Seahawks -3.5

What kind of a party is worth missing football for? I don't even care for NFL football but I wouldn't miss it for a party.

I wouldn't even go to my own wife's funeral if it was on a college football Saturday.

lmao, it was a VFW christmas party. I can watch the games on my phone via hulu but they get cranky about electronics during the party. I got home at the end of the 3rd quarter so not all was lost. Steelers play at 430 so it worked out.
