Well I am actually off to an average start. 

2-2 on announced picks actually ended up betting the BYU game on Thursday after USCe crapped the bed but I will only keep up with what I announced. 

USCE  -6.5  L   $100
Clemson  -3.5  W  $100
Tenner +2.5 and Mich St. -1.5 in 2 team teaser   W   $100
Va Tech -1.5 and over 41 in 2 team teaser  L    $100

Going to go Cinci tonight at -5 for $100

I really like Ole Miss -8.  Not really sure why, just have a gut feeling they will crush them.

I just put 5 units on UGA -2.  Of course, that's probably equal to one of some of your units but I just can't imagine this game being close.

I went 11-2 last weekend. (my best weekend ever)
My favorite game this week is East Carolina +21 @ USCE
Can Carolina score 21 on anybody? Especially with Shaw not probable
$100 on it. To me it looks like easy money

And here we go. Sooieman I may have missed where you posted your 13 picks against the line before the games were played.  If I overlooked it I apologize.  Otherwise you are in my book 0-0 with your first pick being this east Carolina game.

I suggest you read more of this thread before tossing that out.  If I were a mod I woul just zap your 11-2 claiming post.

I had a horrible week last week and it happens, but I posted beforehand.  Rest assured I will have a great year because I usually do. 

If however I didn't post my picks before the games were played I would tell you I went 11-2 every week.

Sorry Will looks like our plan of actually tracking will go down the tubes again.

I think we are doing a good job tracking our own record and updating it as we go. We should make it so that u have to update your own record before you post your first game and then again on Sunday.

Unfortunately, it didn't even take very long.

And no, you didn't miss it, no one posted 13 picks last week.

I'll have my picks up tomorrow sometime, or maybe Saturday morning, but it will definitely be before the first game kicks off. I'm not liking tomorrow night's game anyway.

There is no sacred ground for the conquered.

4-5 on the year after the Kentucky loss and the Cincinnati win.

Rule of the thread, for all.

Btw, should I "forget" to post my picks prior to any Sat kick-offs, I too am posting an 11-2 record afterwards. FTW.

It's really not that big a deal.  Was just ironic because we had a full page or so discussion about that before the first college game this year.  We all share advice and so forth and so on.  I wouldn't have read all 20 pages or whatever either.

Sorry if I sounded too harsh. In this thread we will not correct you grammar or punctuation, or even diagram your sentences.  We simply want you to post your picks before the games are played :)

Recall how many people you might know that tell you when they lose at the casino.  You might know some, but generally speaking, most won't tell you when they lost.  The only time they talk about the casino is when they win.

Likewise, I know very few people that will volunteer lost bets in sports.  My buddies at work are pimping the winning bets on Monday, but don't tell you about those that lost (again, generally speaking).

Same thing here, it's more than coincidence that NOBODY comes on this thread after a weekend of bets to acknowledge their losses if they didn't post them ahead of time....there's simply no accountability to do so.  But they sure talk about those weekends of wins that weren't posted ahead of time.  Why is it we never see someone, who didn't post their bets ahead of time, come on and say they went 3-5 or .500?  We've discussed this ad nauseum on this thread....but it's always a killer win % w/ a massive amount of bets that happened to not be posted ahead of time.  Just once, I'd like to see someone that didn't post their picks ahead of time be accountable and own up to a bad weekend...."hey guys, I didn't post my picks on Fri or Sat, or before the kick-off of the so-and-so game, but I went 3-5 this weekend"....just once I'd like to see this.  But the accountability isn't there.  It gets in my crawl when someone doesn't post their bets before the weekend or before a game, then promotes only the good weekends afterwards.

Sorry to sound like I'm bad-mouthing you, Soooieman.  I truly hope good success to your betting and don't wish ill of you -- you're just the most recent target for this activity.  I trust you really did kick arse this past weekend.  Frankly, I suck at betting, but continue to do so b/c I have fun doing it and don't bet more than I can afford to lose.  I enjoy talking lines on here and respect people for posting their picks, then discussing afterward some of the games (go Pitt?!?, ugh).

Again, I'm not trying to be a jackhole, but the first time someone posts a losing or .500 weekend that didn't post their picks ahead of time, will be, well, the first.

It's not harsh guys I understand. I did lose my arse on OU last weekend. Can't believe they didn't cover.
Am I too confident in the E Carolina pick? 21 just seems like a lot of points. God I love gambling haha!

Haven't looked at that game yet.  Sounds like a solid bet, but would like to look it over first.  What do the pirates have on defense?  Will Lattimore run at will and wear them down to the point any back runs over them in the second half?

Will east Carolina be able to move the ball at all?  Not sure what they have coming back from last year.  They seemed for a while to be a program on the rise, but seems like they took a step backward.  Will look it over tonight.

So after a lot of rambling on my part easy answer is I don't know :)

Sportsbooks must have cleaned up on the OU game, b/c I haven't seen or heard from anyone that had $ on the dog (me included).

WVU -23.5 vs Marshall -- $55.    W

WVU vs Marshall 65 OVER -- $40.   W

Oregon -34.5 vs Arkansas State (I'll admit to having a bit of betters remorse here) -- $55.   L - cant believe this one, was 29-0 after the 1st quarter and had it covered going into the 4th...

OU -30.5 vs UTEP -- $50.   L - along with the rest of the board it sounds like lol

Michigan State -7 vs Boise State -- $10    L

Navy +15.5 vs Notre Dame -- $10.   L

Hawaii +42 vs USC -- $30.   W

BANK: 225
PROFIT: -25
RECORD: 3-4-0


This was my record last week, going into this week 3-4.  I am only betting one college game this week and that is Georgia at -2.5.  Just didnt see a lot of attractive lines.  Have $50 on them but when I bought them they were at -3.5 so I bought a point, therefore my payout will only be $33.  Should have been more patient on this one.  This week's summary for college...

UGA -2.5 vs Mizzou -- $50

BANK: 225
PROFIT: -25
RECORD: 3-4-0

Vegas isn't in the biz to lose, but initially seeing the Ags as favs for this game was something I just couldn't accept.  But now it has moved from +2.5 UF, to -1 UF, so I feel now that things are as they should be in the world of CFB, ha.

Last week 6-7. Down 5 units for the week. 

FYI for me my week always ends after the MNF. Game or in the case of last week the VA tech debacle.  My week starts with first game after that.

So far this week 1-0. Up 2 units.  Not gonna adjust my total till weeks end.  Started week down 5 units and will take what happens after mon night and adjust yearly total.  So rather than saying I am still down 3 for the year I prefer to look at it as I am up 2 for this week.  Keeps me in a better gambling state of mind :)

since i have not used this thread yet (haven't bet in over a year)  I won't gloat about my success last weekend (cough cough 4-1).



UGA 2 units

Au/MSU under 47 1 unit

Kentucky -7 1 unit

The Florida/A&M game  scares the crap out of me.  Have no idea how the aggs will come out. I know that Florida won't be in awe of the atmosphere because it's par for the SEC.  I'll be making the short drive from Fort Worth in 3 weeks which reminds me..Does anybody have extra tickets?

A State -23 (Memphis is horrible and Wolves (spit) will rebound big)
Florida +1
LSU -24
Georgia -2.5
Ohio St -18
Penn St +10 (Just have a weird gut feeling they'll cover idk)
Utah/Utah St. Over 52.5

For sure going Notre Dame -14 against Purdue

I don't know anything about ND this year, but the late night ESPN radio guys were talking about Purdue being better this year fwiw. Something tells me that's why they are late night haha.

Blutoblutarsky

Not betting my whole account on them or anything and historically I hate Notre Dame, I just see it as easy money. They thumped Purdue last year at Purdue and ND is better this year. Brian Kelly is a solid HC

Ok guys, this is probably a stupid question, but where do you do your betting?  Is it online?  I really want to get started but want to make sure it's above the board, if you know what I mean.

I have used most of the online but go offline now.  PM HogfaninTX he was sending some folks some infor on it earlier.
