10 pt underdog

I just saw on the lines that Wyoming is a 10 point underdog vs SDSU. Any thoughts?

Take the points, and pay off your mortgage. The Pokes have everything to play for Saturday. SDSU is beatable...Hillman is not 100%, the wind will be blowing like a bitch, I will be hammered, etc.

Just got the first snow today as well. And it is getting cold out.
 
I like us getting 10. I bet it hard on bodog. I also took csewe giving 16 at home to nm. I have to think csewe is out for revenge as they are the only team to lose to new mexico since locksley has been head coach.

CSU -16 sounds pretty good. Probably win by 17 or 20.
 
The really compelling game on the board is Oregon at USC. Oregon only +7. SC has a really poor defense this year. Both teams can score but can SC stop Oregon? Can anyone stop Oregon? I don't think SC can.

Bodog rarely has moneyline bets but I would bet Wyo. on the moneyline this week at +325. I think we can win outright.

If you're going to bet the moneyline at +325 for an outright win, it would be wise to take them with the points as well. I haven't laid it down in a while. Last time I played, i was up huge in blackjack and then lost my bankroll, but had a 3 game and a 7 game NHL parlay that day that both connected to save my butt. Cashed out cuz I thought I couldn't control myself.

Oregon is +7 or -7? +7 seems like a no brainer since they are going to win. I think all the USC lover money coming in has moved the line.

When I did bet, I rarely bet on my team (Pokes). No matter how hard I tried, I never could be objective enough. I found it best to bet against my teams with small sums. Then, either way, I was happy. Unless of course, they lost but didn't cover!

Have you ever listened to Hardcoresportsradio on Sirius? They talk a lot of gambling. Used to have a guy named Gabriel Morency that was really cool. Not sure what he's doing anymore. I think you can listen to them on the internet as well.

You hit a 7 team parlay? The odds of that must be about 10,000 to 1. You are right. Oregon is -7. The game is at SC and on grass, which might slow Oregon down a bit. Maybe we should have kept our grass field and then let it grow to ridiculous heights (like csewe used to do) to slow the other team down. I used to listen to some gambling programs but I soon realized that they are guessing just like we all are.

I'm going against my instincts betting Wyo. this saturday. When you look at our offense and how little it's produced, it's hard to bet on us. Twenty points last week but 7 were the result of a pick 6 and 3 more from a byu fumble. Still the defense is playing pretty well and I think it will keep us in it.

When you bet NHL, I never monkey around with the Puck Line or Goals scored. You can always get screwed by overtime and that crap. I just bet the winners. There's no value in betting on a single game when a home team might be -250. So I started parlaying them. There was 7 games that night and I picked them all and I even had to go against the penguins. Since you are betting favorites in the parlay, it doesn't compound quite like it normally would. I didn't care who was favored or not. Just looked at the two teams playing and picked a winner. I think I bet $7.50 and won like $500 or $700 bucks.

Well, -7 doesn't sound as good as +7 for Oregon that's for sure!! I usually don't bet the "big" games either. Too much money coming in and if you don't get at it early, there's no value.

Speaking of grass, i think that our football program has played worse on the "Jonah Field". Maybe that's the problem!!

I can't bet UW games, can't hold back the heart. Remember at the beginning of the year? We were all talking about maybe upsetting BSU, UT, UU. Fat chance! Good luck! I'll try to look at the lines and see if there is any value out there.

I don't think I could ever stomach putting money on a Penguins win. That'd be like hoping BYU won out or something...

Let me guess, you're a redwings fan?
Click to expand...

Was a Nordiques fan, then Avalanche fan, then moved to this area, so it all worked out for me.
I just can't stand what Penguins have turned into. I used to love Tom Barrasso, Super Mario, Jagr, Straka, and all the others... but I can't respect the new kids. The never-ceasing chatter about Crosby the past few years completely ruined the team for me. I could go on forever about it, but I won't ;)
 
Weird that you dislike Sid. As an Avalanche fan, I can't even imagine how contempt would develop especially after the penguins finally beat the redwings. Who did you root for? If the Pens are BYU but as an Avalanche fan rooting for the Redwings would be grounds for a tar and feathering. quite the pickle indeed.

I don't get all the hate for Sid. He's quiet, he doesn't showboat, he's one of the hardest working players out there. He put in his time. They had a few crappy seasons after he showed up, but then he took them to the promise land. sure people talk about him all the time and it can be annoying, but would that mean you hate Gretzky too? what about Stamkos or Tavares? Stamkos is living up to the hype and so did Crosby. The one guy everyone should hate is Ovechkin. Any guy that throws down his stick and pretends like it is on fire is a douche. I wish Crosby would throw down with him, something Gretzky would never have done.

I did curse him the olympics! Asshole! Couldn't believe he did that to us!
 
Hehe, we obviously completely disagree. Crosby punching somebody else in the balls from behind while his teammate had the guy bent over in a head lock means he'll never get any respect from me. That should've been a 5 game suspension at the very least ;)

Also, the hatred for Red Wings is gone. The rivalry is dead. I'm happy neither team made it to the Cup finals this last year, but I honestly could care less.

As for Stamkos and Tavares - they haven't received even a fraction of the attention Crosby and Ovechkin got. Stamkos is an incredible talent who is fun to watch, Tavares hasn't won me over yet. He's very skilled, but also seems very flat footed compared to other top prospects as of late...

Also, I was never a big fan of Gretzky. I felt he got a lot handed to him, compared to Lemieux. Touch Gretzky, and you would likely leave the rink on a stretcher. Mario on the other hand played very physical, a lot like Forsberg, actually... and unfortunately, that was also part of the reason they played relatively few games. Same goes for Lindros, probably...
 
I'm not that crazy about hockey (nor baseball) but I've been wondering......

When Gretzky basically traded himself from Edmonton to L.A. in the mid-1980s, were any of you upset a la the recent LeBron bullshit going to Miami :tickedoff: ?

I'd say the LeBron crap was a billion times worse. At least Gretzky didn't set up a press conference and let the world know his decision at the same time as his old team.

It's another reason for me to hate basketball :P

I've never seen Crosby punch anyone in the balls. I have seen him be a badass.

Pokes going to cover, down by 17?

ACS just runs in. Down by 10. +10 looking ok.

Bladerunner, you took UW on moneyline? Hope you bet the points as well.
