I was thinking earlier, do we have 5 or 6 of the guys who have been yearly regulars to this thread that would be interested in a little healthy competition. $100 year long wager contest 6 units wagered a week minimum of 3 picks. I think it would do the thread some good.
5 guys winner take all would be fine with me.


I'll do it.

Guy in front of me in line yesterday at The Mirage bet an even squarer parlay than that yesterday. His teams were Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, Florida, Oklahoma and Nebraska for $50. I wanted to say to him why not just give me $25 of that $50 and we'll call it even.

I think most people have liked Vandy from the beginning, but now that the line is up to 4.5 how are people feeling about it?

Still trying to decide. Hard to beat Westgate just because it's so big and you don't have to worry about finding a seat if you get there early enough.

Thursday and Saturday will probably be Westgate. Friday it's looking like South Point or Hard Rock (where i am right now).

This game and the Toledo-Arkansas State lines have fricked with my head the most.

I think what he meant to say is, that shite cray....?

Even if they were all single bets, I'm pretty sure you could have got them at better numbers. Add that to the bet being a parlay and it looks like the odds of hitting it are very, very small.

Some of the guys here are pretty serious/stick to their principles, so they'll point out if they think you're on the wrong side or if you missed some value by locking in bad numbers. I also don't think they like parlays all that much.

No biggie, though. Having something on the games is fun. If you ask, most here will give you advice if you'd like.

How are we feeling about the following teaser:

LSU -2.5
Clemson -0.5
Bama -3.5

@ +150. Obviously square, but I just don't see anyone losing SU (a bit exposed on the Bama hook though). I loved it when I bet it more than a month ago, but getting nervous as we get closer. Most all of my week 1 money is tied up in it.

Now this interests me. I initially liked SMU in this game with Davis back at QB. I must admit though, I don't know much about UNT. What type of team do they have this season?

Where are you guys betting win totals? Anywhere online still have Florida 7.5?

Vegas is better at this than me but I'm missing something with this one. Looking at their schedule, I feel like they have 7 easy wins.

I gotta believe they find AT LEAST one more win out of at Tenn, LSU, UGA, at Arky, at FSU. Those are tough games but I'd need just one imo. Their oline will be better, they can't be worse at qb, and the D is still loaded with talent.

I bet Florida Under 8 with my local when it was posted. I'm sure some books have 7.5 now.
