Bankroll is getting low, so I bet the rest on South Carolina +2.5 so either way I will be happy no matter what happens. And maybe, just maybe I can be extremely happy if LSU wins by 1-2

I've been in that boat before. It's like paying to see LSU win, or getting paid to lose. And like you said, tiny window for win-win.

Exactly. Last year was the most confused and mad I have ever been as an LSU fan. I placed a $100 bet on the Tigers, 15-1 to win the national championship. My friend kept begging me to place a hedge bet on Bama. My pride for LSU couldn't pull the trigger. Wish I would have!!

So I guy I know has been calling me the last few weeks to get picks for this winner-take-all weekly pick'em ATS.

Only 5 games.

The pool is over $3400.

Last week he calls and asks for my top 5 and says he'll toss me a $200 or so if he wins. I give him Toledo, Ohio State, West Virginia, Wyoming and Duke. All 5 cover.

I texted him yesterday: Hey.. You went 5-0 last week in the pool.

He calls back and says.. "uhh.. We went 4-1. We played Maryland instead of Wyoming."

Is he FOS? I think so. He's like the bitch on the east coast who bought the pool of powerball tickets with the rest of he McDonald's coworkers; only to lie, hand the winning ticket to a friend and split the money with them.

Start giving him the opposite of everything you pick


Back to football this week ... Someone in here previously mentioned Navy over Central Michigan earlier in this thread ... the more I look in to that game, the more I am loving Navy. Their defense is decent, and Central Michigan has no run defense whatsoever. Navy +2 is a strong play this week, I believe.

What is RLM supposed to tell us exactly? If the team you bet on has a line that's dropping, you would assume that the line you got, isn't as valuable as it was when you bet it. However, on the other side, that would mean the public is steaming the opposite pick, which means you are on the other side of the public, which is generally viewed as a good thing.

What's the big to do about RLM and how much weight should be put into it when evaluating your plays?

Not exactly DCrews, RLM is when a larger percentage of the bets(usually meaning the public is on one side), however the line still moves in the direction of the smaller percentage of bets. For instance if the public is hammering WV -5 against TT with say 78% of all bets coming in on WV. However, the line moves to WV-3.5 indicating that although a smaller percentage; larger dollar amounts are on TT( usually assumed to be sharp $$) ultimately moving the line in TT direction.
