Any of yall have people you follow on twitter that give good insight or decent free picks?


I like to follow RJ Bell for the random stuff he posts but most of his tweets are statistical.

Todd Fuhrman is a great follow, used to be an oddsmaker at Ceasars

Vegas Runner is pretty solid as well.


I just locked in my first three plays of the year.
UNC +11, Utah State +2.5, and SMU +5.5

Yeah I had taken some time off and started putting some money to the side to build a bankroll, then jumped in to baseball two months ago betting small and was up a ridiculous thirty something units over a 4 week period. I lost a little bit of it back the last two weeks, but I have still built up a nice foundation for the start of College Football.

SMU is tough. They have had their chances against better competition under June Jones and apart from beating TCU a couple years ago, have fallen flat every other time.

With that being said, SMU should be evenly matched with Tech. Tech is breaking in a new system, and SMU seemed to hit their stride at the end of last year with Gilbert getting more comfortable in the run and shoot offense. Also a very under rated aspect of SMU is their defense.

But we had our chances to get SMU at +6.5 or +6 for this game. At 5.5 there is less value. I do think SMU has a chance to win.

Why the Utah State pick? New HC, new DC, at Utah and kyle wittingham waiting for revenge on USU. Just curious because I've been leaving towards taking the utes in this game.

Utah State was a much more efficient team on both sides of the ball last season. Utah lost a lot, especially on D, and the Aggies are returning most of their starters. I think Utah State controls the game. Just my opinion.

I just doubled down on Ole Miss -3 (line dropped back from 3.5). With their second leading receiver gone due to the rape scandal, it gives the Rebel secondary a chance to double team Matthews. Like I've previously stated, I really think Vanderbilt will struggle to move the ball. New QB making his first start during primetime ESPN - tough task to say the least. Not to mention, the program has to be in a tough spot mentally with all the bad press coming out of Nashville. I wouldn't even state that this is a homer pick. I've analyzed this game about as thoroughly as possible and would have to give the advantage to OM in every categorie. I know this is pretty irrelevant considering you can't base this year on 2012, but Hugh Freeze is a spread covering machine. 10-3 last year which was tops in NCdubs

Another line to watch out for - Northwestern -6 @ Cal. I've heard arguments that B1G teams don't travel to the Pac and play good ball, etc. Throw that out the window. Pat Fitzgerald is a top 10 coach in the country and will once again field a very strong team in '13

Not a homer pick at all, I'm on both of these sides as well.

I kept up with you during CBB and value your input as a capper. Glad you're on the same side

My card so far:

1U: Washington State +15½ -110* vs Auburn
1U: LSU -4 -110* vs TCU
0.5U: LSU/TCU Under 50 -110*
0.5U: Fresno State -10 -110* vs Rutgers (Badass Fresno QB, at Home, Rutgers lost some key D players to draft/graduation)
0.5U: Maryland -20 -110* vs Florida International (FIU is beyond awful with a new coach)

Does anyone ever successfully cash out from these online sites, or just roll bets until everything is gone? All i ever read or hear is how much people have put in......just curious about how easy/hard it is to pull money out if you hit something nice.

took LSU -4, GA pick em, and a few others i forgot about last time in NV.

I use SportsBook and have definitely cashed out and have never once had a problem with them.

I think ill wait to see how Dykes has that offense gelling before i go laying money against him. His system is not complex at all. The true freshman QB will be an issue at times obviously, but i wouldn't be shocked to see them beat a few decent teams along the way either

I was checking out big game futures today. Can't believe LSU is +12 for the game at Bama.

Yeah I locked in that +12 yesterday for LSU. Seems like a terrible line.

Also grabbed LSU -2.5 against Ole Miss.
