NT: Sportsbook Thread

[samb]

I've been away from this for a bit but now I'm back on it. Almost hit a 10 team parlay this past weekend but white soxs couldn't get it done against the Detroit Tigers in extras. O well it's just excess cash anyways. Today my plays are:

Phillies -1.5 (+142) with Roy Oswalt on the mound makes me feel good about this game
Astros -1.5 (+142)
Once I come up (hopefully) I'm gonna put it all down on the Rockies with Jimenez pitching and Colorado hitting fantastic in the month of september. I just can't wait for NBA season to start

Do yourself a favor and never bet on the Rockies on the road. They never decide to hit outside of Coors.

I just looked into that and your right. Crazy but I'll play a small amount hoping they win by +2. Tulowitzski hopefully will come out hot again and hit hr (2).

Arizona -6.5 against Cal looks like a steal. Any reasons why the spread is so close?

 

[venom lyrix]

anyone betting this Canes v Pitt game tomorrow?

MIAMI -3 seems like a good bet, if they can get some production out of Harris...thoughts?

Leaning towards Pitt. Pitt has done well against the ACC recently.

I'm going to be making a huge play on NE -13. Hell, I'd probably bet them at -20. Buffalo's offense is atrocious and I think NE will have a huge bounce back game at home and win 35-10 or something like that. I also like Chiefs +2.5 at home, SF isn't a very good road team and Arrowhead is a tough place to play. What does everyone think about Min -11.5 vs Det? Im really torn on this game, Minny has looked awful so far and the Lions have played 2 close games but Minny is due for a good game at some point.

 

[awon23]

How do you guys feel about Titans +3 against the Giants? I feel like CJ is going to run all over them come Sunday.

I dunno about that, their defense is pretty bad, and Arizona's offense is pretty good. It's at least two touchdowns in my eyes.

If Nevada tore that %%@# up, imagine what Foles is gonna do. And what's the latest on Criner's turf toe?

 

[fraij da 5 11]

Im not going anywhere near that Minny vs Det game...

 

[bmore3800]

Yo can I get one of them reloadable cards from rite aid or walgreens and use them for online betting? Which sites take em, and are good with payout?

Agreed.

- Detroit played Minnesota well last year
- Detroit is a better team than last year
- Shaun Hill is a former Viking who played well against Minnesota last year with SF.
- Minnesota blows right now.

Too many red flags.
  

 

[venom lyrix]

I like the Pats to run through the Bills this week as well.

That KC game is tricky...San Fran D has played well in the last 2 weeks...it's been their offense thats been the problem. SF will probably shut down Charles and Jones. Even though it's on the road San Fran needs to win this game if they want that division. I think its too risky of a play.

 

[proshares]

Especially at Arrowhead, I stay away from that game. Oakland isn't looking too shabby to me right now...

All valid points.

So why is Minny STILL favored by double digits? It goes against all of common sense. Everyone thinking Detroit can keep this one close.

That's why Minnesota is -11 is the play here.  I duno how they figure it, but Vegas knows what they're doing.

Im new to this, but about how much you dudes betting per game?

 

[651akathepaul]

I don't like any other game than the NE/Buff game. And that's only if you got in when the spread was 13.

Oakland is risky to me. Mainly because Arizona hasn't played at home yet and despite inconsistency from Anderson, they are still capable of putting up some big numbers.

I only go like $20-$30 per game usually if I REALLY like a game ill hit it for $50 or $60...


But then again i try to keep a really low initial investment... I put $100 into my account and try to build on it... If I get it up to say 4 or 500 ill likely bet more on games I really like.

Im up $80 from the past 2 weeks betting like 20-30 a pop though. Small time but as long as im hitting more than im missing I can make money.

I just reopened my 5Dimes account when the football season started, deposited 100. I usually do 2-3 parlays, 3-5 teams I just put 10-15 in depending on how confident I am, then do a weekly degenerate 15-16 team parlay and put 2-3 bucks in 

. I'm up 160 if you're wondering.
