the betting thread

Serves you right for betting on Temple.

FF was right; I ended up betting the KState-Mountie game.

I forgot they were in FOX with my man Gus on the call. Gus is the upset maker so I took the Wildcats ML and spread.

I have bet the dog on every fox Saturday nighter and covered.

Stage 1: Denial.


In other news, I went about 2-10 through the first few weeks of CFB this year, so took the last few off from gambling. Made two big bets today and lost them both. I think I'm done for the year, this is ridiculous.

That's how I've been on nfl lately - ice cold.

Cats up 45-7 with 9:00 in the 3rd.

Win.

Arthur Brown Jr = draft him and let him learn behind Ryans

Which isn't really much...no biggie.

I'll make it back.

My issues are simple:

A. Over a long enough period of time, the house always wins.
B. I have to bet too much (a la $400) to get a rush out of it.

For sure - I have been gambling enough to have learned when to squirrel away profits. My first couple forays into gambling I wasn't disciplined to walk away with profits. I would play until my budgeted amount was gone. Now I know when to step away from the tables or cash out from my betting account.

Its weird because when shooting dice or playing blackjack I get nervous when I have $100 on the felt. Last Super Bowl trip when I was at the Venetian I was on a hot dice table and worked my way up to all numbers covered and $240 each on the 6/8 with $250 in odds...I was a goddamn nervous wreck. The shooter eventually sevened out and I took my profits from that roll and split.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Yeah, squirreling away is easy when you win a lot. I've had similar situations at the tables. With sports, my pattern has been to slowly bleed my bankroll, make most/all of my money back on one big bet (a la Giants in last year's Super Bowl), then walk away.

Anyway, I hated most of the lines today. Doesn't look too exciting.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I agree with FF - nothing terribly enticing about the lines today. I am a little gun shy on NFL right now too.

BUF -3
HOU -6.5
NYJ +10.5

I like the Jets because the Pats defense is not good.
