the betting thread

[ice grillin you]

you can pick the thursdays game and then four more on friday

shtein if you wanted you could take a cbb game tonight

betting week = monday to sunday

i always just said friday because we do 99% football and since we use sheridan lines and usa today doesnt come out on weekends i just always picked friday (yes i know he updates his lines online even on weekends)

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I'm picking 5 games for the weekend tomorrow with tomorrow's lines. I cannot make picks on Friday or Saturday this week. You're welcome to wait until Friday to keep to your usual schedule.


In less boring news, my buddy told me to pound the over for UNC/Wisc in NCAAB tonight.

so whats everyone using these days for bets? I've been on bodog for probably close to 10 years but today my account is just gone.

i've been one of the few people i know to not have problems with them. have cashed out dozens of times before and always got checks within a few days, super easy. i've never cashed out a huge amount before, always been between $500-$1000. because i've heard horror stories of people trying to cash out a large amount and then their account just disappearing.

i just cashed out about a big chunk of my account a few months ago, then last week i lost a shtein ton, so i can't imagine i have much left anyway, but i was going to go all-in on something today and now it's just gone. no idea why. trying to get with customer service but i'm already resigned to that fact it's probably gone forever. but it sucks cuz that was my poker account too.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Wow, that sucks a lot.

I have accounts with both Legends and 5dimes. Legends gives better bonuses with lower rollover requirements, but the actual betting options are much more comprehensive on 5d.

while googling just now i found out that their poker software just went to an anonymous structure yesterday...which is absolutely ridiculous in that the casual players are going to get ruined by the "pro" players. also takes the social aspect out, even though it is online.

so i'm hoping that this update and the crushing on the server has something to do with my missing account.

i'll check out those other sites.  easy cash outs? thats what i loved about bodog, click a button and boom, check three days later.

I was using Bodog for years and got tired of them having zesty lines and hardly any MLs. I kept a small amount in there and hadn't used them since the end of the NCAA's. Always fast and easy payouts though.

I used Legends for the beginning of the NFL season but when I went to re-load they didn't have the CC option. I asked them in the online chat and they said it would be back in a week (this was a couple weeks ago). They said I could use Moneygram and tried to give me some persons name in Nicaragua or somewhere like that to send it to. They seemed shady to me so I waited a week and the CC option was back up but required paperwork to be filled out. I don't want to do that.

So I went back to Bodog and my $$ was still there and I re-loaded. I just checked my acct (bet on WISC and the under tonight) and its still there. My balance usually runs in the same area as Matt's (my high was $1300) and I am getting close to a cash out mark.

[MDS]

my $ is still there, too

im thinking you just got drunk and didnt remember spending it all on something

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Yes, nothing is quite as easy as Bodog, but neither of the ones I mentioned are too tough.

god green bay looks so good this week but whenever i bet an nfl line like that i always lose

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

That's how I felt about the Jets this week too.

[MDS]

i want to bet on the ohio st/utpa game but no sportsbook i can find actually even lists the game

words cannot describe how bad utpa is. if a line shows up just take osu (yes, even if theyre favored by 60) and thank me later. utpa is the worst team in a conference that doesnt have an automatic bid in the ncaa's. their rivals are south dakota state and njit.

i mean really. please understand my sincerity here.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

It's not even on 5dimes. They usually have close to everything.

I guess cappers just don't know UTPA like you do.

P.S. Nice work, Bruins!

[ice grillin you]

That's how I felt about the Jets this week too.

jets could easily win 13-10 this week tho...they arent exactly an offensive juggernaut and the skins d is good...i took the jets and still expect it to be low and slow...im just banking on them winning by four

the packers are basically a better version of the saints...and you saw the matchup problems the giants had against them...granted its at home this time but i dont see how green bay doesnt thrash them

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Not to mention that the Giants might have the 2nd worst home field advantage in the NFC East this year.

But ultimately, I want the skins to win because I have both Jets under and skins over season wins bets, so I didn't want to bet against myself, even though it seems like stealing.
