Chasing is terrible. I've had a family member go 60k in the hole in one week chasing.

I had someone next to me at a casino try a chase on the roulette table. He started with a $25 bet, ended up getting down ~$400 after losing 4 straight betting on black, and walked away from the table.

Roulette is different than betting football though

What do y'all think about the Cincinnati @ SMU game?

SMU finally scored some points in their last game but they are still really bad. The Spread is Cincy +14.5.

I feel like people took ECU -40 and got burned, plus Cincy losing 3 in a row makes this spread lower than it should be. I mean SMU is REALLY bad, I'm thinking Cincy -14.5 is a solid bet


I tend to agree.

I see the Baylor/WVU O/U is 79.5.

Is this another Oregon/Zona? That is a metric frickton of points, I don't think WVU will score every drive and Baylor usually doesn't play as well on the road.

I tend to agree, overreaction to the 120 pts scored in Baylors last game

Bama/A&M O61

Bama can't stop the pass, and A&M can't stop, well, anything.

My only 3 plays so far. Hope you have a good weekend.

Sharp $ on WMU though; they crushed that line.

I think i'm going to not bet on that game at all, but if I were I would bet on Va Tech. I don't trust Pitt at all. I don't particularly trust Va Tech either, but they have better players. It's essentially a pick em, and there will likely be as many Va Tech fans in the house as Pitt fans....and not very many of either.
