The Degenerates Thread

[dukeberto]

So I need a place to start tracking my bets and get others opinions on games I'm iffy on. So here it goes.

Last Week (Sept. 8-14)
College football kicked my ass. What I thought were easy bets turned out to be too good to be true. This was my first week ever betting on NFL games, I will definitely ease into that realm.

Louisville-UVA, UL (-7) 1u
VaTech-ECU, VT (-10) 1u
Duke-Kansas, Under 56 1u
UGA-USCe, UGA (-6.5) 1u

Bills-Dolphins, Bills (-1) 1u
Titans-Cowboys, Titans (-3.5) 1u
Houston-Oakland, Houston ML 1u

2014 CFB season record: 5-3 (I went 4-0 in week 1) +2u
2014 NFL season record: 2-1 +2u

Week 3 (Sept. 15-21)
Syracuse-Maryland, Cuse (+1) 1u
ECU-UNC, ECU (-2.5) 1u
Duke-Tulane, Under 56.5 1u
Pitt-Iowa, Pitt (-7) 2u
Mizzou-Indiana, Mizzou (-14) 1u
Texas A&M-SMU, TAMU (-35) 1u

Thoughts?

I'd go:

Maryland -1
ECU -2.5
Duke Under 56.5
Iowa +7
Mizzou -14
SMU +35

I agree with Topher except I would take Pitt over Iowa.

Where can I safely bet on college football online? I need some way to get some value out of what will be a miserable Vandy football season.

 

[dukeberto]

I don't bet online but I've heard five dimes is one of the better sites. Maybe the newest iteration of bovada as well.

 

[aiw]

You using a bookie?

 

[Thain]

I used to use bodog that turned into bovada but have not bet in a few years. Either way I only bet on basketball.

 

[dukeberto]

I can neither confirm nor deny.

 

[Thain]

If you were interested in Harry Potter would you rather see the movie or read the BOOK?

 

[dukeberto]

I liked the books better.

 

[aiw]

I'd go:


Duke Under 56.5

Topher would have lost the bet to @chrisbunn21

 

[Topher]

lol, I thought it'd be too much to get to going into the game and then they scored 21 points in the first quarter. Still almost didn't get there.

 

[dukeberto]

Another shitty day. The TD off the messed up punt really killed me.

 

[dukeberto]

Took a beating last weekend. Let's see if this weekend is any better.

Picks for Saturday - 1u each.

FSU -18.5 (-110) v. NCState
Clemson -14.5 (-110) v. UNC
Notre Dame -10 (-110) v. Syracuse
Duke ML (+210) v. Miami (admittedly a homer pick, but we'll see. Good value here.)
Duke +6.5 (-110) v. Miami
South Carolina -5.5 (-110) v. Missouri

I was planning on opening up an online account just to bet on Georgia Tech today. I'm glad I didn't. The one I used to use (what is now known as Bovada) is illegal in my state (NY). So the only thing that stopped me from doing it was being unsure about getting scammed on a sham site.

 

[TyusStones5]

I'd go:


Duke Under 56.5

Topher would have lost the bet to @chrisbunn21

I saw someone tag that guy on twitter and thought it was topher.

 

[Topher]

It's not. That guy is way smarter than me.

 

[TyusStones5]

Hmm..

 

[dukeberto]
