Anyone get absolutely hosed betting on the Hogs tonight?  Uhhhhhggghh I'm franking miserable.  Evidently in the betting world...for game to be official it has to go 55 minutes. 

We win 49-7 and I get a no action/push.  Talk about a kick in the balls.  3.5 units down the drain. 
Thanks for the F Shack. 

Love,

Talk about a rough night. Tamu killed me. Absolutely killed me. Not only were they ahead 27-0, Johnny football scored a touchdown with a minute something left to go back up by 16. I was hoping they would run the clock out, but Johnny thought it best to go ahead and score. So worst case, u are thinking a push if la tech can score and get the 2 with only 1 time out left. Wrong....tamu let's them score in 1 play , let's them have the onside kick, then lets them march it right down and score again. I'm la sling this the worst loss of my career.

Bama -21.5 (10 units)
Ole Miss -5 (4 units)
Ole Miss/Auburn under 48.5 (10 units)
SCe +3 (2 units)
Florida -8.5 (2 units)
W. VA -4 (2 units)

Caught a couple of lucky breaks yesterday: FL kept Vandy out of the end zone w/ first & goal at end of game to preserve the spread, & Spurrier went for it on 4th & long instead of taking the 3, so SC covers. Went 4-2 but lost one of my big plays so ended up + 6 for the weekend & +19 for the season.  My record outside the SEC absolutely stinks. I need to stick w/ what I watch & follow.

Teased Packers to +10 and over at 41. 2 units.

DadVader1

Got an early start on next weekend.  So far, I've done:

Bama -19.5 @ Tenn (10 units) I may add more if it doesn't climb much. In SEC games, Bama is #1 scoring O & Tenn is last place scoring D.  Bama's smallest margin of victory is 29.

LSU -3 @ A&M (4 units)

SCe +3 @ Florida (4 units)

Another positive week! Again straggled weighing game, but 6-3 and positive units is a good week.

haha just messin, they screwed me on my parlays so i lost on them too.  I'm definitely gonna take a break. 

BTW, something was up with that game.  Everyone but vegas had WVU winning in this one, and winning somewhat convincingly.  The minute the spread came out so low I thought something was fishy, infact I remember several of us on here talking about it.  Clearly they knew something we didnt. 

Whatevery the case, they made a TON of money on that game.

I won the Alabama and Oregon state game. So I was only down like 1 unit. Wow new Mexico up 21-0.
I need to win this one my baby needs shoes.

Oh my bad man! Didn't see you add those on here. That must have been a wild weekend for someone who just learned about sports betting.

Was very nerve racking. I finished up 7 units. This week I can just bet what I won. Going to stop betting so much at one time though.

Think I'm taking Broncos pickem. Manning has thrown for 300+ last three games and 8 tds with no picks.

Broncos lead in every category but rushing.

Gonna go 2 units on Denver

SPAL

I've got to be the most unlucky bettor in the world. Another huge lead blown resulting in a loss.

SPAL

The largest comeback ever on Monday night football. Guess who bet the other team?

DadVader1

I feel your pain Sir! One of my rare NFL bets was the Green Bay game with the blown call on the last play that got the regular refs back & cost me my $5 max NFL bet. Luckily, I skipped playing the NFL this weekend, because almost everything I would have played, lost.

I played that game as well. It wasn't a posted play.

I was so mad at halftime I parlayed Denver -4.5 and the over 22.5. Lo and behold I won the original bet and the parlay. Nice beginning of the week.


Thursday games have killed me but it's going to be hard not to take oregon.

Got to take bama
Georgia -28 at Kentucky
Rutgers -5.5 at temple

Sure glad I didn't play last night.  Don't even know what team I would have gone with, but would have made me crazy either way.

One of these days, I'm going to learn not to take a Norv Turner coached San Diego team............EVER.  No matter the circumstances, no matter the opponent.  It never, ever works out for me.

Not giving up though.

Love me some Harbaugh! I had my tiny NFL play on Seattle +8 & SF declined a penalty that had resulted in a safety so SF took the 2 points off the board & won by 7 instead of 9.

SPAL

Usually don't say much about my Unposted plays but I had a huge night thanks to a safety that wasn't. I had Seattle +9, U38 and a parlay the same way. Harbaugh is my fave. A big 3-0 Thursday night. Obviously not counting toward my record but since I got screwed by the refs In an unposted Seahawks game with the packers, I thought it was interesting that I was rewarded big time in a Seattle game that went in my favor.

Added 4 more units to Georgia, so here's what I have for the weekend:

Oregon -8 (1 unit)(W from last night)

Bama -19.5 @ Tenn (10 units)
LSU -3 @ A&M (4 units)
SCe +3 @ Florida (4 units)
Georgia -27.5 @ Kentucky (4 units)
Georgia -26 @ Kentucky (4 units)
Middle Tenn State +19.5 @ Miss State (2 units)

I should probably adjust my unit scale since my typical play is turning out to be around 4 units.  Instead of confusing things, I'll stick with this unit scale for the season, so basically, anything over a 4 unit play means that it is one of my favorite plays for the weekend, a 4 unit play means I like the play but no more than usual, a 2 unit play means I like it but a little less so, and a 1 unit play means I'm bored and just wanted to pick a side.  Looking over my summary also reminds me that I need to work on my discipline and do a better job of reducing my number of plays.

I am really thinking about Duke +10.5 vs North Carolina, thoughts?

I'm leaning Duke but won't play it.

This is the first week where I'm having trouble finding games to play. Probably go with Rutgers and Bama (why not, right?).

jkstock04

LSU -3 looks solid to me.  I'm going 3 units here.

Also like Georgia big.  2 units.

I like these two above, but I also like A&M +3 at home. I also like K-State +3 vs. WVA, and I really like Iowa St +14 vs. Okla State and Penn State +3 at Iowa.

I hear you.  My only thought about LSU vs Aggies is this.  LSU has seen it all before.  Johnny football for A&M better have his head on a swivel.  He starts running around like a deranged chicken today and he may not survive the first quarter against this defense.  He was simply decent against Florida, and Florida has greatly improved each week.  Johnnie M was forced to pay like he foul have been.  Gators had no film or clue what that goofball would do.  Tigers on the other hand.

Then again who knows that's why they call it gambling.
