Greetings gentlemen. I wasn't a part of this thread last year, but I hope to be involved, offer some insight, and enjoy some discussion this year since I play a good bit of action on CFB.

Some info on the USCe Vandy from some people over here (I live in Columbia): Lattimore will play. They feel they have a deeper rotation than last three years and after seeing them play (wife's family has season tickets) I believe the depth is there. It's no longer a one man dependancy. Shaw provides an aspect to running as well. WR is the question mark in this game. They don't have a proven threat so Vandy will look to make Shaw beat them throwing.

Defensively, USCe will dominate the LOS. Outside of Clowney, USCe still has playmakers so Vandy will be mismatched on the front 7. Secondary, though, Carolina is frighteningly limited. They are young and injured. Depth an issue. Rodgers will play well if he has time to throw.

Interesting point, Vandy undefeated at home ATS last year. USCe 2-3 ATS last year on the road.

My take, if I can get USCe at -6.5 I will take it. If line stays around -7.5 or -8 I will pass.

Vandy-USC

I view this game as having the most inflated line possible....nobody will ever think much more highly of Vandy in a home opener against a big time team than they do now...+the unknown of Marcus Lattimore and the game being at vandy...so i think the line is maxed out (it couldnt possibly be any lower)...so that makes me think Carolina although i wont be in vegas in time to bet it since its thursday

You must have cause he was over 62% for CFL, NCAAF, and NFL combined last year. All for free.

@phillygodfather's half point parlay tickets on Sunday morning are the shite too. Very informative if used correctly.

not that this is a huge point but i read that something like the fast 5 of 6 they have played would have gone under 47.

Dont see vandy scoring a ton and USCe will want to run the rock

quote:

The name Wong teaser originates because the concept was popularized in the book Sharp Sports Betting by Stanford Wong. It can alternately be seen by other names including a basic strategy teaser. A Wong teaser is a two-game teaser in which teasing the spread moves it through the two key numbers of three and seven. In other words, it's a teaser involving favorites of between 7.5 and 8.5 or underdogs of between 1.5 and 2.5. If a line is reasonably accurate then you can assume about a 50 percent chance of either team covering. If the odds were -110 then you need to win about 52.4 percent of your bets to break even. To win 52.4 percent of your teasers you need to be able to win the individual games approximately 72.5 percent of the time. Because games end up being decided by three and seven more than 22 percent of the time, teasing through these two numbers increases the chances of covering a spread from about 50 percent to 72 percent or more (It's actually better than that because you are also covering the numbers four, five and six, and games can also finish with those margins as well). Over the long term, then, Wong teasers are one of the few places in betting where there is a positive expectation. In other words, Wong teasers are very good for your bankroll.

..to those foolish enough to pay for them.

I'm trying to get the VB app off the ground. Free app with lines and scores of CFB, NFL, MLB, CBB, NBA and NHL.

It would eventually have in app purchases of picks but the goal is to finish one thing at a time.

People only want free shite, though. The app will have ads so it could bring in a small amount or revenue. I would usually give out the first 3 weeks free, go 20-9 or so, and receive almost zero interest in anyone paying for the rest of the season.

You just lost a notch of respect in my book. I'm not a fan of scammers, especially those touting picks for sale.

I'm hurt.

I don't scam anyone. Everyone gets the same picks unlike guys who like to distribute a different side to half their subscribers; fooling them into thinking they are great.

I just took a look at your site. Its not he typical 'picks for sale' site so I'll cut you some slack. I didn't see any outrageous win % claims or LOCKS OF THE YEAR type verbage. That is what really makes those sites a scam. Yours seems more moral that the rest
