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.

BetUS online. Don't exactly love it, but that's my only option as of now

Started 0-1 last week (SCe, 1/2 unit)

This week I like:
Kentucky -6.5 (4 units)

and just for fun have:
Bama -39 (1 unit)
Hogs -30 (1/2 unit)

EDIT: added Utah -7 (1 unit) at the last minute

 

WILL CLINTON

So, here are my picks for the weekend.

Georgia -3.5 @ Mizzou....3*
     I was amazed when this line came out. I thought it would be at least 7, but no way I thought it would be less than 5. I don't see how this isn't free money.

Georgia -2.0 @ Mizzou....5*
    See above, I just had to put more on it since the line went down. No way the Bulldogs can't beat Mizzou by more than 3. I don't care where they play, Georgia is head and shoulders the better of the two teams. First 5* lock of the year.

Kentucky -7 v Kent St....1*
     Kentucky can't be that bad...can they?

Wisconsin -7 @ Oregon St....1*
     Oregon St is a habitual cellar dwellar and Wisconsin is fighting for a B1G ten and maybe national title. They will win 11 games this year and will probably put Montee Ball in NY come Heisman time. I think a lot of people are focusing too much on their game last week, and Vegas knows this. Don't see this one getting closer than 10-14 all day, except for at kickoff time.

Miss St -3 v Auburn....1*
     I like this game because it is basically a pickem. With Miss St's 3 pt home advantage, that puts this game as basically even. I just don't think Auburn can get it done on offense, and they may have the worst secondary in the SEC.

You ain't lying, 70% of my bankroll on that game. 85% overall for the week.

This is either gonna be a great season, or a short one based on this week alone.

Did not even look at Wisconsin. that's my problem, i often overlook the big ten/pac 10 games in favor of SEC/ACC matchups.

Will add 2 or 3 units to them.

No, no sports gambling is legal in the united states, unless you live in one of the 4 states that have legalized it. Nevada, Oregon, Montana and now Delaware are the only states that have sports betting laws on the books.

Any online site or bookie that you use, is illegal. None of them are "above the board".

Let's just put it this way.  If your online provider gets shut down good luck recouping your money.

This is why I said anyone that doesn't want to play online should shoot me a PM.

Vandy -165 vs Northwestern
Kentucky -275 vs Kent State
Georgia -130 vs Missouri
Savannah State +65 vs Florida State

Going conservative this week. Got burned by the South Carolina spread last week. Also, just couldn't pass up a +65 spread.

For sure going Notre Dame -14 against Purdue

I was thinking the opposite considering the miles they covered last weekend. Then again I don't know anything at all about Purdue.

Can't believe you are putting 275.00 on KY to win 100.00. I hope you win it and you should, but jeez a Lou.  Got a big set on you I suppose :)

Any definitive word yet on the possible Georgia suspensions?  (Vasser, Ogletree, Commings, Rambo)  They might be suspended, and it sounds like they have at least a couple of linemen who are dinged up.

I'm pretty sure they left Rambo and Commings in GA.  Not sure about the others

I don't know much about gambling, but I've recently wondered what the money line might be on Alabama/Arkansas.  For instance, it it's Alabama -300, I could take Alabama.  If the Hogs win, I'd be so happy that I wouldn't miss the 3 units.  If Alabama wins, I'd have a unit to drown my sorrows.

I've actaully had some thought on bets like this.  Saw a few games that a team was favored by -11 or -14 and was thinking if you just bet the line on them cause you know they will win, you could pick up an easy unit.  my cost you a little more to get it, but you are almost guaranteed the unit..

I know the thought process, but he is talking about a game with a line of -7

Bets like that if you lose one in 3 you are right back at square 1

Just not my style.  That is the equivalent of the old days betting the Yankees 300 to win 100 with Clemons on the mound against the royals.  Yep you usually win, but when you don't it really hurts.

Huckleberry Pig

i wouldnt do it on a -7 spread, but for example the Bears (-10) playing the Colts, you can bet 500 on the bears and pretty much guarantee yourself 100.  I understand what youre sayin hogfanintx, but if the numbers are right id be tempted lol

Huckleberry Pig

WILL CLINTON, with the supposed suspensions for Georgia, do you still feel comfortable with your bet?

BTW are these suspensions set in stone? and do we know exactly who is?

I was thinking the same thing, especially when the line is only a TD and it's
-110. Bet that same 270 and win like 250.

Good Luck to you. I'm on the other side of you on UCONN, UCLA, Iowa St. Not betting mind you, but my guts tell me that Nebraska, Iowa and NC St handle business

I took UGA -2( 1 unit, looks too good to be true so makes me leary) and Miss ST -3 (2 units)    only ones I really like.

So far up 3-0 on year...an even 3 units.  Hopefully this week carries on the same!  My sentiments on the Georgia game as well, that seems to be the bet of the weekend...hope we all win big on this one.  Smells like a trap game, cause almost like too good to be true...LOL I have seen that happen many times...anyways my picks:

Miami +7; 1 unit bet.  They did well last week on the road against Boston College, I think they carry on this week and beat K. State on the road.  Regardless, even if they don't win, I like the +7. 

Hogs -30; .5 unit bet.  I think we come out and redeem the lackluster performance against J. State.  I think we absolutely clobber ULM.  Admittedly, this is just what I think and feel...don't have much fact to back it up based on last weeks performance LOL...which is why I'm only putting  a half unit bet.

Georgia -2; 2 unit bet.  This one looks like a lock/bet the farm at first glance.  But a closer look shows quite a few suspensions...not to mention a few injuries....makes it seem like somewhat of a trap bet.  But I think Mizzou gets introduced to SEC football this game and loses by at least 2 td's.  I think they have a rough go of it this year, and this will be the beginning of it.

Wisc -7; .5 unit bet.  They did pretty horrible in their opener against N. Iowa, but I think they bounce back this week much like the Hogs will. 

Good luck guys...hopefully we are all smiles come this time Sat. night/Sunday morning.
Thanks for the F Shack. 

Love,
