I am thinking about it as well, however, Stanford nearly lost to San Jose State in week one. That's leaving me with a sick feeling when I go to click the Stanford bet on 5dimes.

If the number stretches to (+10), I will def consider Stanford.

Official College Wagers as of Today:
UCLA (-17)
West Virginia (-21.5)
Rutgers/USF Under (45.5)

3 Team Teaser:
Texas A&M (-5.5)
Virginia Tech (-2.5)
Alabama (-13.5)

Philly Godfather on Betting Strategy

I'm sure this may be elementary for some of the posters here, but for us new bettors, I think this is a nifty video giving you some basics of how to bet College Football (or NFL).

Philly Godfather on Key Numbers

Haven't watched the 2nd vid yet.

I know those lines are teased down but look at how road favs did last week ATS

Va Tech is neutral site. A&M shouldn't have an issue with SMU.

Bama vs. Arky is my only concern, but with Wilson possibly out or playing hurt, I like my chances.

Teasers for me are the same as parlays. I do them for fun and bet a minimal amount of money on them.

if you got it at -17 or better, you'll be great

i however could not get close to that so i haven't touched it yet

that being said, my gut is telling me they will win by 21+ as they won't put in the scrubs till late in the 4th

I've never had trouble loading at 5Dimes, but they usually use a 3rd party processor.

It's only part of my teaser. I didn't get to it in time. It's sitting at (-20) now.


Is there a way to always buy half points on certain games? Betting on 5 dimes, sometimes they have multiple options, but for most games it's one single line without the option to buy any points.

Thanks. I told myself I wouldn't do them, but I just couldn't resist.

Sounds like me. My teasers have had an awful success rate the first two weeks.

I don't like three part teasers. I'd rather pick out the two I like the most or add another and make two teasers.

This same shite happened to me a couple weeks back. Now can no longer deposit money through my Visa card. Thankfully I have a nice bankroll on 5 dimes to play with.

Bama is moving down to 20.5 and 20 at some places if anyone wants to grab it below 21.

Haven't been following- what is this thread's consensus on the Michigan St/Notre Dame game?

I don't think I've seen a single post about ND/Sparty.

Mich State Defense is being highly touted.
