I know RAS bets on WNBA. And if RAS bets on it, there is value to be had.

I know Ole Miss has been getting TONS of hype all off season (meaning people could possibly be overvaluing them). This line may be prime value with Vandy +3 (plus they are at home)


Have you seen Vandy's stadium? Home field won't be considered that much of an advantage considering half the crowd will be Rebs. Nashville will be painted red that week(end). Vanderbilt lost some key pieces and their new quarterback (Austin Carta-Samuels - transfer from Wyoming) will be making his first SEC start, prime-time ESPN.

If Bo Wallace can play mistake free football, I see a 35-21 type of game

you're not the first person I've heard mention this. How is this easy money? Totals?


its the most predictable sport out there...team totals, spread and money line. upsets are so rare, even in womens college basketball its more true

Again, I've done zero research thus far. I was just saying that I think getting points at home in college is worth a look.

Even still, as a player, you don't need a Death Valley type atmosphere to get hyped playing at home.

I look at numbers, not teams necessarily. And Ole Miss being highly touted this offseason and laying points on the road, lead me to believe there could be some value in the line for this game.

first quarter and first half spreads are big $$ for opening weekend home teams

Especially Oregon.

ETA: But seriously, I've never considered that. Have you had a lot of success in the past betting that way?

also depends on the opponent in weeks 2-4...weaker teams may come in juiced up and play off of adrenaline to hang around the first quarter.

a lot of my bets are made on the psychological side of things...it works for the most part and thats the only thing im worth a shite at evaluating haha

Follow CoversNuggz on twitter. Dude may sound dumb as rocks but he knows WNBA. Haven't tracked his plays in other sports, so I would stick with WNBA

TTT

nice to have this back was actually wondering just the other day when it would come around

Last year killed me. Missed a handful of games early by .5 or 1 points. Hoping for better this year.....

I have started off well. Sports book gave me a free $10 bet. Been betting on MLB and have turned it to $90 so far. (I know only 90 big deal. But I'm happy doing that with a free bet)

Here's to a good year all

Oh also I like Ole Miss a lot. Biggest reason is even though Vandy is at home their crowd doesn't give them any kind of advantage and whoever said "doesn't matter about the crowd Vandy will be jacked playing at home" well so will Ole Miss. Both teams playing on opening night on espn and its a sec game. Both teams will be jacked. I just don't think vandys new QB will be ready for the speed of our defense. That's the major sell to me

WNBA is very profitable if you know what you are doing

4 is the 4th most likely "key number" in CFB. Just an FYI.
