Not sure either team is "tough" here but I'm on Wisconsin.

Thank you Oregon & Indiana Pacers (1H).

I'm on an OKC & ORL NBA parlay, OkState straight up and OkState & under parlay for the rest of the night.

Thinking about taking Denver -4.5 in NBA too (edit - no play here because Nene is out)

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I bet Stanford, primarily because Havas picked Ok State.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I have a decent wager on Michigan -3 and a smaller one at -2.5. GO BLUE

[PhillyPhreak54]

Goddamn that midget for OSU getting brought down at the 1/2 yard line.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Michigan -3
Michigan -3 u53 parlayed

Cavs -4
Thunder -5
Utah pk
Houston/Lakers o191

I kind of like the Bulls laying the 10 since ATL is coming off the win against Miami...

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I know you probably do better at gambling than I do, but you do realize that two-team parlays are pretty much the dumbest bets ever, right? You'll choke on that vig.

Besides, I'm on o51.5.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I've always liked to do the side/total parlay. I'll take the 2.5/1 odds on that for a small amount with hopes that it hits.

Parlays and teasers are always for small amounts.

My main thing is the flat bets on sides or totals and lately I have found value in some of the prop bets too.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

True odds of hitting a 2-teamer are 4:1 and you are getting 2.6:1. It's like making an if bet with two -150 bets. Assuming you're still on Legends, the 3-teamer is a better value and it seems they've upgraded the 4-teamer to make it their best parlay.

I know it's tempting. But don't do it. If you really feel the need to try to compound your winnings, at least go for an if bet instead.

Trust me, I know. In other news, I recently discovered their 5-team special teasers. Hahahaha

[PhillyPhreak54]

I am on Bovada because when I went to re-load on Legends their CC system was down. Then they brought it back up and it requires sending in paperwork. I don't like that.

Bovada/Bodog is good when playing dogs...I may look into 5-dimes too...I need a book with better ML options and one that doesn't post lines so damn late.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

5dimes is my favorite by far.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I want to do the Hilton SuperContest next year.

I need to read up on how it works being an out of state contestant though. I know you have to enter and pay the fee in person in August but during the season you have to use a proxy to enter your bets in person. These people charge a fee and/or a % of your winnings to do it.

Clemson -3
over 65
Clemson -3 & o65 parlay
76ers -5.5
Golden State +8
Sixers -5.5/Heat -7/Bulls -7 Parlay

Edit - thank god for the NBA tonight....gonna try to win this 2H in the Clemson game...wanna see what the line is

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

No underdog of odds greater than +200 has yet won outright this bowl season. I want to believe that K-State can change that tomorrow night.

Miraculously, I gained cut IGY's lead to only 3 after going 5-0 this week. Looking forward to some tasty lines tomorrow morning from Sheridan.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

FF - down 3
Kansas St +9.5 Arkansas
SMU +3.5 Pitt
Alabama -1 LSU
Bengals/Texans u38.5
Giants -3 Falcons

Yes, I changed my last two picks. WHAT OF IT
