Yep wrong guy. I played in a smaller event in the WSOP in 2006 but only lasted 5 hours. I am the guy who has the thread about pool hustling and I took all my gambling winnings and bought a car dealership and finance company. All the money I bet on sports booking is from winning it at poker tables.

Cool story. Congrats on the car dealership and finance company! You should cross sell some of my Online Driver Improvement and Teen Drivers ed courses. I work for the largest online driving school in the country and run the affiliate network. PM me if you'd like to take a look at it. It's 40% commission and no costs. Anyways I digress!

I hope you stick around. I'd really like to get this thread popping with lots of gamblers. Don't forget the megathread in the regular SAS for all other sports bets!

What's everyone's thoughts on the over/under tonight? I'm leaning under but am super unsure so will probably stay away from it.

I think the under is a decent bet but I'm staying away because I'm still super salty about missing a huge Seahawks/under parlay in the super bowl because it was such a blowout

I hate the line but I'm on Seahawks -5.5 as well just to get some action going tonight

I almost always take the over if I bet those and I usually lose but if Green Bay covers or wins this game I feel like it will be an over.

15-14 YTD on football. Going to put college picks on here when I make them. Just putting the record in here so I don't have to go back and look on my betbud spreadsheet.

43-46-5 Baseball. 6-5 Soccer.

Somehow with that I'm up 15 units on the year. Good BRMM I guess and some lucky high unit confidence bets.

NCAA:
Navy -3 4U
Boston College/Pitt Under 49 4U
South Carolina -16.5 4U

NFL:
Carolina +1 4U
Kansas City -4 2U
Minnesota +4 4U
New England -5 2U
New Orleans -3 2.5U

Going to grab Nevada +4 around kickoff. We'll see what it's at but 76% of public money is on WSU and I feel like going contrarian on that game.

Was just about to get back to you. I'm about 30 minutes from Philly and my guy is from upstate NY (Buffalo area) and I met him through a friend after my bovada debacle. I bet through a website and he keeps track of my tally that way. I've never even met the guy but he's rock solid with payouts. We do it monthly, whoever owes the other money just sends the money via UPS. Usually if it's a hundred bucks either way we just roll it over. He has a ton of out of town clients he does the same thing with. Good to see your hooked up though.


Sort of a rough first week for me. Went 3-4. Here's how I'll be losing money this weekend:

Toledo +4.5 hosting Missouri
USC +3 visiting Stanford
BYU -1 visiting Texas
Tennessee +3.5 visiting Kansas City
New Orleans -3 visiting Atlanta

lol at everyone taking packers +6 last night... That was SEA -6 all day. I'm hating myself for only laying $40 on SEA..

What you guys got for Sunday?

I'm thinking CAR(-2)over TB. NE(-5) over MIA. NO(-3) over ATL.

It's the first week of the season so big spreads scare me and I like the small favorites.

We're in the same boat. I should have bet the farm on Seattle...but it was week 1 and better to air on the side of caution as opposed to dumping the roll and whatever deposit bonus you received.

I'm on board with all of those picks. They mirror three of mine, except for you're getting a 1 point enhancement on that Panthers game. I was sure the line would move the other way. Oops.

Added the under in the WSU game and that will be it for tonight. Was going to wait for +4 due to volumes, but 70% of public money on the over means I'm just going to bet with Vegas here. Games like these get broken imo because they're poo poo teams on national tv on a Friday in Vegas. Abnormal volume = donks. No way the line moves from 64 to 67.5 any other way imo. Going with Vegas.

Side note, getting a new phone for my birthday today and was wondering if anyone knows if betbud (the android app I use) will transfer data and the app. I've exported all my data to google docs, but i'm hoping that I can keep my history in there.

Vegas wasn't built on giving away free money. There is plenty of money on the other side of that bet, and it doesn't look like its coming from recreational bettor types. Enough to move the line in the opposite direction.

Home underdogs are historically undervalued. It's going to be 90 and humid on Sunday.

Miami was a decent team last year despite a horrific O-line, this year the line will be significantly better. If Ryan Tannehill doesn't spend half the season on his back, he has the potential to be a solid QB (like he showed last year, beating the Patriots in Miami in week 15).

Vandy +20

The most improvement you'll see in college football is between week 1 and 2. I think this spread is a bit much even with Vandy's horrible outing last week.

ECU +15

ECU runs the same offense that A&M does, and I'm not that confident that SC can adjust. Small play here but I think there's a shot.

USC+3

No analysis, just a gut feeling here.

This is a solid teaser, though I opted for the 7 points so I've got Bears -.5 and Pats +3.5.

I like your other picks too, can't make much sense of the line on the Vikings game though. Anybody have thoughts on that one? Seems it should be much closer to a pick. I guess it can be chalked up to the Rams being at home and Hill being a solid backup, but I like Zimmer a lot and think he'll do good things in Minnesota. Looking back at last year, they had a pretty tough schedule and good lord were their games high scoring.
