Just added TAMU -35 for 1*

The 31 was for Texas St, not TAMU

I have a question, why is it some books (online) only have certain games?  There were a few games that mine didn't have.  I noticed most on here got to play most of those games though.  What usually determines if they have them or not?

The off games (directional) often aren't.  Not enough to book.

One late game:  WSU/USC o54.  2u

Btw, just a little info I noticed on Mich/ND game. Line on bovada has gone to -5.5. Wish I had gotten on Mich @ -3.5, or even -4.

I was pretty confident Utah State would cover easily so I took the -9.5 early in the week.  I got a little nervous after I started seeing everyone taking Air Force.

Yikes, I terribly underestimated how horrible W. Michigan is.

No more considering games where 2 teams I barely know anything about are playing.

I really feel like I may be missing out on Minnesota -16. Should've put more down but online is closed already.

Ok St -27
NW/Syr over 53
Penn St -24.5

All 1 unit.
2-1
YTD 2-1

WILL CLINTON

Texas is letting the BYU QB run all over them, over 160 yds rushing, in the first half.

I'm not even mad.

1. Never count on Texass.
2. Never bet against Vegas.

WILL CLINTON

Because I'm an effing degenerate, I just placed the following:

USC -16 1*
Stanford -24 1*

Don't ask me why, I'm just bored. and pissed about Texas, Ok St, and florida.

About the same idiot here..  I tossed one unit on Mich then like a bonehead before the game thru 2 more units (already put 1 unit on them) on TX...

Well went back and added a few NFL picks. Here is for tmrw..

Wish mine had.... :/
Well looks like i am washing today.  I had two units on texas, i picked awburn (on the record) and i did not go in the record with this, but had WV to cover against OU.  Those were one unit each.  So all in all, lots of action, day ends same as it started.

Edit...for total transparency, i am up (barring a total meldown from awburn)
1/10th of a unit.  I didnt say a wash, to hide losses.  Close enough to a wash.

Anyone making themselves feel better if this *investment* cost Mack his job?  At least that is what I am telling myself..

Rough day guys? I'm feeling pretty good!
Im too lazy to read back and see.  How did you fare, buddy?
And btw. I am thinking about recapping my week tomorrow.  I think i did well on some and made some rookie mistakes too.  Idk if people on the thread want to sift though my nonsense or not tho.  I am not nearly as technical as some on here.  I admit, i am a little reckless.

WILL CLINTON

Houston -3 1*   W$161
Duke -5  1*   W$161
Minny -16  1*   W$161
Bowling Green -7 2*  W$321
Auburn -10 1*  W$161
Toledo +16 1*   W$161
Toledo ML +575 1*   L($177)
Florida -3 1*   L($177)
Oregon -28.5 2*   W$321
Ball St -9 1*   W$161
Ohio St -29 1*   W$161
Texas -7 2*  L($177)
FSU -6.5 1st half  1*  W$321
Ok St -26 3* L($642)

10-4 with 2 games left going. lost most of my winnings on absolutely ridiculous parlays. Should have won most of it back, on a 6 team 1st half ML parlay that was paying 25-1.

14-9-1    $4127     38% ROI

Good day Will

Thanks, I have no idea how i did it picking 16 games (last 2 aren't looking so good), but next week is a new story.


I need tips for tomorrow, locked in Pats -11, and liking KC -4, Seahawks -3, and Tampa Bay -4.

razorbacker231

Would say i am in for tips, but no lie, my biggest losses came from oakie state, and tex, which yes, thought were good, but the board sentiment swayed me. :/ no lie tho, i went against the grain and went WKU... My bad.  I bet on the coach, not the team...then again, i did awburn which did pan out.

My thing with NFL is that i suck...beyond that, any spread past 7 scares the bijigis out of me....

widespreadsooie

I just did a min. bet teaser on Cowherd's picks. Don't really get involved with NFL.

I've got Pats, Chiefs, & Panthers. Timezone plays work in NFL too, and Hawks were very average on the road last year.

BoynamedWooPigSooie

Not a bad day, wish I would've had more confidence in my picks and bet bigger but anytime I'm in the + I'm happy.  It's all for fun anyways.


W's:  Bowling Green, Georgia, Auburn, Michigan & the over, WVU, LSU, Wyoming, Arizona, Minnesota, Wazoo St., and hate to admit it but Samford was a winner for me.  I couldn't see us beating anyone by 32+.  Not this year at least, the team is coming together in the ways you want to see, I'm encouraged by them not folding up shop like they would've last season.

L's:  L'ville, Air Force, W. Michigan, Akron, and not pulling the trigger on Sam Houston St. and 39.5 pts.  Pushed at 37.

"I can't be cliché and say 'Call the Hogs,' but I think I have to.  That's just something that sets our university apart.  When you're out on the field and everyone in the stadium stands up, it's amazing.  Even when we're at a football or basketball game, just to see that many people around you doing the same thing for you when you're on the field or for the other guys who are playing, it's pretty awesome."

Texas royally screwed me over!  Piss ants!!!

LOL.  I know to never bet on Texas unless they're playing a directional school or a small fry.


Also I'm pretty sure that betting against Paul Haynes and Paul Petrino can pay off your vehicle this fall.  4-0 so far.

If you bet against Bobby Petrino week one you lost. Vola have talent plain and simple.  I will promise "if" you check player by player recruiting averages TN is waaaaay above the hogs. Sorry but it's the truth!

I believe Texas is a lock at -7.  If they don't beat BYU by more than 7, I'll go to Austin and find Mack Brown myself. :puke:

I hear Mack is hiding out in Lockhart.

Looks like 4-3 yesterday...lost my biggest play of the day.

Bengals +3   2 units......push

Unreal

jkstock04

I wound up going 1-4 yesterday...down a solid 3 units on the day.

Bet bowling green (W), OK State (L), Utep (L), and yes I made the idiotic decision to bet Texas as well. What a jacked up day betting wise.

I'm thinking of being a degenerate and throwing a chunk at the Chiefs today and try and win it back. Maybe a 5 unit bet....I think they may throttle Jacksonville.
Thanks for the F Shack. 

Love,

I AM TYPING THIS IN ALL CAPS SO THIS STANDS OUT!

GET ALL OVER OREGON ST BEFORE IT GOES TO -28 OR OVER.

I JUST GOT SOME INFO ON THIS GAME AND BET $350 AT -27.5 AND WISH I WOULD HAVE HAD IT WHEN THE LINE WAS ONLY -26 YESTERDAY.

EITHER WAY THEY WILL CRUSH HAWAII AND MIGHT HAVE THE SPREAD COVERED BY HALFTIME.

GOOD LUCK!

I've read a lot of these posts on the thread and enjoy a friendly bet. I hope you guys with lots of experience can help me with my picks and the ins and outs of football betting.
After seeing the way y'all keep track I'm gonna do the basic 1* unit - 3* unit depending on how confident I feel. Today I'm not too confident in any but I'm just gonna jump out into it.

I'll be taking:
Florida -3.5 1*
Norfolk ST. +40 (rutgers doesn't seem as strong this year) 1*
Baylor -28 2*
Georgia -3.5 1*
OU -21 2*
Arizona -11 2*

Let me know what y'all think! This is an awesome thread and I feel like I can learn a ton from a lot of you.


I did better on the ones I wasn't confident in. My hunch picks did well.

L: Florida (didn't know their offense was THAT bad)
     OU (didnt get to see the whole game, haven't seen OU score that low in a long time)

W:  Norfolk ST. (lol pretty lucky on this one, they laid a
Big egg but Rutgers still couldn't cover the spread)
     Georgia (knew that the Clemson loss didn't effect thei SEC future and it was bout time they took one from Georgia)
     Baylor (not much to say; they score and score a lot)
     Arizona (got some good players, especially that d-lineman his name escapes me now, UNLV is very mediocre)

So 4-2.  After being at a zero to start "unit" wise I'm at +3.

If I could keep this up all year I'd be ecstatic. Gonna post some NFL picks later, first game of the year is dangerous though. Lines can be very deceiving as every team in the NFL has talent. Games are often won by field goals as well.
