You Bet 5 grand on that game? I liked Miss ST, but not enough to bet the game at all.

I should have been more clear. I bet a nickle on it. I've never been 5 dimes on a football game, but I did bet 14 dimes a on tennis match to win 2 dimes and I won... although it went 5 sets and I was down 0-2. ;/

Earlier in the thread you asked why I don't post earlier during the week.  I gave my reasons.  When I post a play it means I have bet it and at the line I post. Today I could bet Penn ST -5 in Youngstown.  I could play Penn ST plus 1 in Carson city.  I didn't play either but just saying.

Lines differ by region often times based on proximity to fan base when it comes to huge colleges and the NFL.

I agree, and it's obvious you have local or regional sources. I'm just used to finding lines online which are the same better or slightly worse, depending on the situation.  I totally understand the whole process.

Mine is secretive only because mine is almost never online ya know.

Your situation is obviously different from the rest of us in that you are the only one (I believe) booking through an individual.  I can see a reason to post the source for us "onliners"...could be helpful info.  But the way I see things, if someone posts a great line from 5Dimes, would you have enough time prior to kickoff to actually sign-up for that site?  Probably not as they aren't the friendliest to join, with the need for a copy of your DL and everything else asked for.  By the time you jump through the hoops, then the line has already changed.  If you are already on 5Dimes, then couldn't you go find that line yourself when it is posted on here by somebody?--and even then the line has possibly changed by the time you get to it.

I'm looking at the opposite... usually 2 teams like this end up on the under. I'll probably put a small play on the under, just not an official pick.

If someone picks a line that's way off and it's an online line, it's pretty standard to post the location.
I have accounts @ 5dimes, SB, Heritage, BM among aothers, and with all those you can almost always get the best lines. Usually BM or 5D has them and Heritage has lower juice and the option to buy up or down on a game 7-14 points either way.

Notre dame is strongest play on my ticket today....I got it at +1. At home coming off a bye week I think that one is hot.

If Tommy Turnover wasn't the QB, I'd pick ND. He single-handedly lost them the Pitt game.

I'll post the online source if anyone asks me for it on a particular bet; otherwise, I won't, regardless of how good it might be. Just ask and I'll be happy to pass it along.

Sometimes it's good to post it, so others can get on it.. just another reason. ;)

    Here's my picks so far... might add a couple more.

    @ UCLA +3 -115 BM vs AZ St.  (It's -2.5 -110 everywhere else. UCLA dog @ home with points? You kidding me?)
(W)   Duke -4.5 @ Wake Forest (I'm not sure why this line is coming down, except Duke is coming off big win against Miami)
(W)    Miss St -1.5 -108 Heritage @ Arkansas (State is the better team, closer to 8-10 points better. Until QB and DEF get better. State needs to win out to be bowl eligible. The one unknown is who is going to start @ QB for State, as their 2 starters are banged up and listed day to day.)
    Vanderbilt +3 SB @ Tenn (Yes, Tenner is good @ home, but Vanderbilt is the better team and +3 is still out there)
    Missouri -2.5 BM -110 /Heritage -108 @ Ole Miss (Missouri, needs to win out to win their division, and Franklin is supposed to play)

    I hate mid-week games but I think (W) NIU @ -2.5 @ Toledo is the pick. They have something to prove and want a BCS game. The only way that's possible is if they win out. It's a tough game, no doubt there, but I think they are the slight favorite, just as the line shows.

Also adding
NFL
Denver -2 (-108) or -2 1/2 @ NE  - ML is -130 if you want to not worry about a -1 or -2 pt game. NE is banged up all over, they should not be able to contain all of the Denver weapons. They have numerous rookies in the secondary and Talib hurt himself last game. Mayo, their MLB has been out most of the year and their offensive weapons are basically Brady, Gronk and Vereen, who just back for his 2nd game after missing most of the year with a wrist injury.

College
(L) Houston -3 (-103) Heritage @ Houston

Currently 3-1

Will love ya man, and you may hit this. I'm not betting it, but if I did I would play the under. Gonna be miserable weather in Stillwater. Yes I often say inclement weather benefits the offense, but seems like a lot of points in this one.

Good point. The only thing I generally play online is exotic stuff like 5 dollar 10 or 12 team parlays.

I still like Mizzu, and it's a pick'em now. -108 Heritage... I don't care if this is a small RLM play or not. Mizzu is the better team, has their QB back and is looking to get to the SEC Championship game and an outside shot at the NCG.

Jeff, you need a smaller Ernie, it makes your small posts, look huge and empty! =)

Well I am playing the OSU under 79, but I'm not making it an official play. Jeff is right it's darn weather there and these two defenses are pretty damn good.

Yeah, I started doing some crazy 15 to 25 team open parlay plays. Nothing like hitting some of your picks for the week with some ML plays, then coming back the next few weeks to fill in the open slots with other ML plays or if you wanna risk it other weekly picks.

This one of the needs by the Bookie that posts his needs, and I figure that everyone is thinking that it will go under exactly because of that reason. It's just one of my "against the grain" picks.

Another very good weekend.  I went 6-1 ATS for +25 units before juice and 6-1 on parlays for +19.8 after juice for a +44.8 weekend.  For the season, that puts me at 61-34-3 (64.2%) ATS and 41-17 (70.7%) on parlays for a total of +96.6 units.  That makes it 6 weeks in a row in the black (ever since I started playing this angle), and my bankroll is a little over 10x what it was 6 weeks ago.  I may get a vacation out of this thing after all.

Another big thank you to Jeff for sharing your picks!  I've gotten into the habit of not posting my tails and not counting them in my record, because I want my record of posted plays to be "my" record.  You're making pretty good money for me, even if I'm not claiming credit for it in my posted record. 

Here's how it played out:

5 units each on:
UNLV +1.5  W
Navy +3  W
Duke -4.5  W
Mid TN St -22.5  L
Bowling Gr -23.5  W
E Car -6  W
Mich +6  W

I did 2-team parlays for a total of 8.75 units on:
UNLV w/ Navy, Duke, & EC  W, W, W
Duke w/ BG & MTSU  W, L
Navy w/ Duke & EC  W, W

+100 Great year so far man. I love it when you, Jeff and I all are on the same side. If I can see 2 out of 3 on therx on the same side as us, or even 2 out of the 3 of us, I am all over it. This is my worst year by far, but I'm playing more games this year than I ever have, or even should be.

I bet all those same games except the LSU game.  Liked LSU but didn't know which team would show up.  If somebody woulda told me Johnny was gonna ignore Evans the whole game I would've hammered it.  I bet KSU -3 though and not the o/u.

Sorry about that I must have missed it the first time.  I like your 4 winners a lot!  :)

In fact at quick glance I dunno that I played any of those games.  Played the under in LSU A&M game though.

In doing some "film study" on the spreadsheets' week 13 picks, I went back and looked at the trend I mentioned earlier that, at the time, had hit 36-4 for 40 picks at 90% ATS.  It did as expected in week 12 and went 2-0.  It went from 2 picks on week 12 to 9 picks for week 13, so I didn't have much confidence in it.  It ended up going 8-1 for week 13 so now stands at 46-5 for 51 picks at 90.2% ATS.  I'll pay more attention to it next week ... although, with it being rivalry week, I'll still be a little cautious about blindly following the numbers.

I'm also going to make a second "accounting adjustment" and double the size of my unit play again, mainly because I don't want to list my standard, across the board, plays as being 10 unit plays.  I'm still sticking with bankroll management rules of thumb where no one play will exceed 10% of my bankroll.  With that adjustment, instead of being up 96.6 units, I'll be up 48.3 units on the season.

I figured A&M would give LSU a LOT more trouble than they did. And Oklahoma State, who would have thought that they would dominate Baylor the way they did? Didn't see that coming at all. Now if anybody ran spreadsheets on that game and came up with the result that occured, we need to talk. ;)

Yes, it's definitely been my best season over a short career.  With all of the time that I've put into the grunt work, ground floor stuff, it definitely falls far short of a minimum wage type return at this point.  But, it's been a fun challenge, and  I'm looking at it as an investment for the future.  If I can get this thing figured out and sufficiently automated, the hourly wage should increase dramatically.  Then, hopefully, I can follow in Jeff's footsteps and turn this into a nice little vacation fund in the next year or three.

Jeff "hogfanintx" Anderson

Well my percentage was low for the weekend

4-3 college 2-2 on pros, but both dime plays and my two dime play hit so was a profitable weekend of 25 units.  Hope to keep it going.

Now THAT is slaying it!  With an apples to apples comparison, what you did in ONE weekend is about one unit more than I've done over the entire season ... in my best season ever.  Keep up the good work!
