It's up to you then.

44 to win 40 would give you +20 if GaTech covers, +85 if VaTech covers. You're in a great position. What line did you take VaTech?

I've been thinking the same thing. Was kind of embarassed about my 10 and 15 dollar bets

I brought $50 into the season, just hoping to come out ahead in the end. I've already had a lot of fun looking at lines, watching games I otherwise wouldn't have watched (NW at Syracuse)

It's a wide array of bettors. Mine are 10 a peice. Still have just as much fun betting as the ballers.

I usually do a flat rate bet of 1 unit on all games, and go for a higher quantity than some. Just a strategy that's worked for me.

I got Va Tech at -6.5 in my parlay and -.5 in my teaser.

I'm the same way . $10 is a unit for me.

I would have turned off that Kentucky game earlier, but since I bet on it, it was a fun watch. Same thing with a lot of the games yesterday. Even if I take a small loss in the end, it was worth the entertainment value.

I basically treat it like the stock market. Variety and spreading out my bets, unless I feel REALLY good about a certain game.

Jump on GaTech +7.5 or +8 if you can. Might even go higher tomorrow. Never know. VaTech might win by 7 and you win all your bets.

You don't need to bet on/against UK to get entertainment out of their games

I got Ga Tech +7.5, if it jumps past 8, I may put down another unit.

The one bet that I made yesterday that I really shouldn't have I made at the bar for UW -7.5 second half. I thought they would turn it on. The UF gave I barely lost on the under, but I never expected they would suck as bad as they did. !st and goal from the 4 and they came away with 0
