Sports betting chatter
Quote: odiousgambitI see what you mean. To go "beyond" -100 , which would mean even money, you don't go to "-99" you go to +101 or -101 depending where you want to go as the oddsmakerQuote: unJonQuote: ThatDonGuySomebody tell me if I am reading this wrong, but I may have found an AP at the Circa Nevada online app
I am reading these two bets:
Penn State +600 to win the CFP championship
Penn State -85 (that's what it says) not to win the CFP championship
It also has +500 on the yes and -69 on the no for Texas

What does -85 mean even possibly as a legit line? No American odds are written that way. Almost no chance the bet isn’t voided. Would be interesting to see how the site calculates it if it lets you make bet? Does it convert to +118?

This will probably give them something to go on to cancel the bets

It may just be a glitch in one version of the app - while Penn State is "-69" not to win the CFP championship on my Android tablet, it is -690 on my phone, as well as at the kiosks in the sportsbooks.
Speaking of the app, while the others (BetMGM, Caesar's, William Hill, Stations) let me sign up no questions asked, not only does Circa make me go to an actual sportsbook to register, but it insists on a deposit of at least $50.
2-0 now on my MLB picks here - woohoo - +159 based on $100 bets
today I like the Brewers -132 over the Giants
Brewers are much tougher at home than the Giants on the road
Brewers starter Peralta, is having a great year - he's 15-5 with a 2.79 era
Giants starter Webb is having a good year too (you can't have everything) but not as good as Peralta
Giants are just 2-8 in their last 10
they've scored just one run or zero in 8 of their last 12 games
the Giants team batting average is just .231 ranking them 2nd to last in the league - and just .211 in their last 10 games
Brewers rank 3rd highest in the league with a .257 team batting average - glta

I had a friend 45 years ago with Iowa State ties. I visited Iowa then and had a Cyclones T shirt that lasted over 20 years until it finally disintegrated. I had an offer so bet on ISU money line at around +220.
I think this matchup is referred to as ‘Farmageddon’.
link to original post
I went to university at the U of Iowa so I knew quite a few ISU students. The Des Moines/Ames area is really nice and an area I would consider living if it didn't get cold. I have also seen the name Farmageddon used for this game this year and I had never heard that term before. It would seem more appropriate for the Iowa St vs Iowa game that is played every year,
My friend transferred to Iowa and played two years for the football team, although he didn't see much action. He's retired and lives in New Mexico but summers in Ames. Hopefully, I'll get up that way next summer.

Good work. We are making bank. I also like the Brewers. Parlayed with under 8.5 and a Turang hit.
How about a Mets/Cubs parlay as well?
And finish up with a Reds/Dodgers parlay?

I don't do parlays
just try to find one good pick per day if I can when I'm in the mood
but I did like that you chose teams with pitchers with low era
good luck with that

It's played for the Cy-Hawk Trophy, but that doesn't mean the game itself can't have a different name. Case in point: the Cal-Stanford game is called "The Big Game," but the trophy is The (Stanford) Axe.

After one college football game my betting record is 0-1. Until I have seen the teams play I lim.it myself to $20 bets.

We here in Boston are pleased to do our part to see Yankees betters take a bath on this series...

And we the Yankees fans are pleased to see the Red Sox fans have been relegated to Boston!
I actually made a slight profit on that series with props. Not that I bet much sports. Maybe someday.

Relegated? Far from it! Who wants to live in Sparta, when you can live in Athens!
