What started out as a very promising night turned into a disaster.

Listen, let's not all start sucking Vegas' dick. The point spreads were close to the end results last night, but the idea behind a point spread -- and, more specifically, where said point spread is set at -- is not to be predictive. They're set strategically. You'll hear that they are set with the goal of splitting public opinion right down the middle, and that explanation, while not necessarily untrue, definitely doesn't capture the nuance involved in the setting and subsequent tweaking of the lines. It's really a cat and mouse game between the book and the handful of sharps that the book fears.

That's a brutal beat too. 60 yard meaningless bomb with 30 seconds left AND a meaningless 2 point conversion.

My plays for Thursday night:
100 Ole Miss -3
210 Ole Miss at -160 (the 210 is the "to win" number...this is how I'll list all my ML plays)
100 UCF-21
110 UCF at -1250
50 USC-22
55 USC at -1400
50 Teaser rutgers+10, spurrier-12.5, minny-14
and I later added the BG over for 50, which missed, and the Minny ML for 30, which hit. So...
$550.
Not a bad first night. And there will be plenty more to come.

Sounds to me like dcrews felt so good about Vandy that he made a late play on USCw. 
Posted on 8/30/13 at 8:32 am to bobbyray21
Which one of you frickers told Vandy I took them and the points last night?
Clearly they found out in the 2nd half and decided to bend me over.
1-1 on the night, but I'll be damned if I don't believe in curses now.

It wasn't as bad as a bet I had on Hawaii a few years ago.
Back and forth game. I'm getting Hawaii +6.5
Hawaii scores a TD late to draw it closer to -6 with a minute to go.
UW blocks the XP and returns it for 2 to win by 8.

off topic here but I had under 7.5 in a marlins padres game this year....marlins batting in the bottom of the 9th with a 2-2 score no outs and they hit a walk off grandslam....

I had USC-21 for 50 and USC on the ML for 55, and I was already up pretty good on the evening, so it didn't really piss me off that they didn't cover because my ATS and ML plays just cancelled each other out. And also because I didn't really feel like I "deserved" to win the USC given that the score that temporarily covered the spread was completely unnecessary and Kiffin could have just taken a knee.
