NCAA spread time

**Iron Warrior** · 11-11-2006, 01:06 PM

Just wondering, do most of you guys find that picking NFL games is easier then NCAA games, or is it just me ?

Hulk: Start picking more NFL games bro, you're account will swell up

Yankees: How the hell did you get Boise -7 OVER SJSU & USC-1 OVER Oregon? I could only get Boise at 13.5 & USC at -7 ! You gotta hook us up with the bookie

looks like he did a 7 point teaser play. i absolutely hate teasers cause 1 or more games will be far off from whats expected.

IW, i mostly do college football cause i enjoy watching it much more. ill do 1 or 2 pro bets but its just not as much fun. i gamble mostly for entertainment and if i win, then thats a bonus. what i should do is just follow your lock picks. for as long as i followed your "lock" choices, you are a perfect 4 for 4. keep it up!!!

College is a little more fun to watch, but pro is where the $$$ is at

If Denver pulls through then I'll actually be 8-2 on my locks this year

Last year I was 13-8 including the Post-Season. The hardest picks are the first 3 weeks and the last 3 weeks because many teams change their stripes at those points of the season. P.S. the Colts & Raiders games are a safe bet most of the time when you're in doubt

DAMN IT!!! 1 game away from $1000. check out this parlay copied and pasted from my sportsbook account:

Parlay (6 Teams) 11/10/06 02:03 ET
20.00/1063.12 Result: Wager Lost
Alabama 14
LSU 28 11/11/06 (19:55 ET)
Alabama +18 (-105)

California 20
ArizonaU 24 11/11/06 (15:35 ET)
Over 46

Georgia 37
Auburn 15 11/11/06 (12:35 ET)
Georgia +12.5 (-105)

NewMexicoSt 18
FresnoSt 23 11/11/06 (17:05 ET)
NewMexicoSt +11.5 (-105)

OhioSt 54
Northwestern 10 11/11/06 (15:45 ET)
OhioSt -23 (-105)

SCarolina 16
Florida 17 11/11/06 (15:50 ET)
SCarolina +12.5 (-105)

all i needed was 5 more points from either cal or arizona in the last 12 minutes of the game. now cal had a play where a receiver caught the ball inside the 10 and fell down (not tackled, lost his balance) inside the 3 to make it 1st and goal. well, cal settles for a field goal. THEN, they put it in the end zone with 2 minutes remaining BUT the TD is overturned from the replay booth. 3 plays later, interception and game over

1 more score would have given me over $1000. so close and in the end, i wind up with NOTHING from these plays

Ill (pk) over Purdue (L)
Md -2 over Miami (L)
Wake +7 over FSU (W)
Hawaii -38 over Latech (W)
Hawaii -21 over Latech (1st half) (L)
Ga Tech -7 over UNC 1st half (PUSH)
Cal -13 over Arizona (L)
SDST -8.5 over UNLV (W)
teaser WVU -10.5 over Cincy and over 38 (W)

6 team teaser: (L)
SC +20 over Florida (w)
USC -1 over Oregon(w)
Michigan -12 over Indiana(w)
ND/Air Force o46 (w)
Boise -7 over SJS (l)
Auburn -4.5 over Georgia (l)

4W 5L 1 TIE but it wasn't so bad as the teaser was a small wager and I went big on hawaii -38 and wake +7.

Sunday

KC (ML +105) over Miami
SD (-1) over Cincy
Bal (-7) over Tenn (got it at open)
NYJ (+10.5) over NE
Chi +3 over NYG (got it at open)
NO (ML +185) over Pitt
Den (-9.5) over Oak

teaser:
Kansas City Chiefs/Miami Dolphins (O 32.5)
Hou vs Jax (-3.5)
Balt (+0) vs Tenn
Buff vs Indy (-4.5)
NO (+11.5) vs Pitt
Wash (+14) vs Phily

If what I play may look different from the lines some of you may get it's because I check the lines right at the open on sunday (college) or late sunday/early monday (NFL) and immediately jump on ones that I know don't look right (ie. Chicago opened as a 3 pt dog ) and follow line movements on ones I think will move in my favor (wake opened at +7 and ended up at +9.5 by kickoff)

The receiver play ****ing killed me. I'm a Cal fan. The QB for Cal (Longshore) played far worse then he was expected to. That's tough luck Hulk, most PAC-10 games are almost a guarantee to hit the over.

I do much better on college than pros. I find NFL to be much more difficult and my theory on this is that in the NFL teams are more evenly matched talent wise. Consequently, the more even dispersion of talent makes it more difficult to cap. I know most people find the opposite to be true(NFL easier to cap than college)

Chi +3 over NYG (got it at open) (W and got some nice 2nd half action too)
NO (ML +185) over Pitt (L) - nice fumble mr. "rookie of the year")

I hate betting the NFL. At least in college you'll get a few games each week that are easy to cap and teams that you can ride all year long (i.e Hawaii & BYU ). I'm laying off the NFL a bit (2 games a week tops) and concentrating on college (conference championships and bowl season are a few weeks away)

Hawaii and BYU ATS have been great, 7-1 for Hawaii and 9-1 for BYU. Here are two other teams that have been great ATS, Nevada at 9-1 and San Jose St(especially at home) 6-2.

I have been riding these teams all year. Only betting these teams would have resulted in a 31-5 record thus far. Problem is, now more people are starting to see these trends and ride these teams. So lines are starting to get inflated. One thing I think is important to note, is that these teams are not the big name teams or big game teams. instead, they are teams that win and win often. They play in the WAC and the Mountain West both (great for betting in my mind).

i think BYU against UNM this week is pretty risky. for the record, i attend UNM, and i hate our football program but you never know which lobo team is gonna show up. we are very inconsistent.

**Iron Warrior** · 11-14-2006, 08:30 PM

Indianapolis -1 OVER Dallas ( I can't believe it's only 1 pt. ! ) This is my lock of the week and 70% of my total is being bet on this game.
Chicago -7 OVER NY Jets
New England -6 OVER Green Bay
The OVER (51 pts.) In Cincinnati & New Orleans

South Florida +17 OVER Louisville
San Jose St. +25 OVER Hawaii
Tennessee -8.5 OVER Vanderbilt
THE Ohio St. -7 OVER Michigan
Nevada -20 OVER Louisiana Tech

IN COLLEGE BASKETBALL
Stanford -13 OVER San Jose State (Game starts at 8PM so if you have faith in me and read this before then go to your sports book

)

Would I be allowed to ask the question of which sports books you guys bet with on here? I've actually read some books on sports betting about 6 months ago (used to be a big online poker winner, i'm not just some crazy gambling addict) ha I've always wanted to get into it a bit, just making small $10 wagers on a couple games here and there nothing to crazy. Also do you have to be 21+ on most sites...? b/c then i would be out of luck.

yeah, my AIM and email is wolfpack0232@aol.com. i dont go on AIM much anymore cause i always get strangers from bb.com wanting advice.
as far as the websites go, i like sportsbetting.com better. more props, easy to navigate, and every friday, all bets are -105. plus, i know they payout since ive received many checks from them

havent tried cashing out at sportsbookusa.com just yet. and yes, the reason i have accounts at both is to take advantage of spread changes.
