Auburn -10.5

I hate week 1 even though in general I think it may be the best chance to go with your gut and beat Vegas.

I will say that a lot of the big schools have low lines week 1 so watch out fellas.

Lost WKU -2 & TCU kept me from a nice 3 team Teaser (USC, Utah)

...lost both best by .5, awesome.

0-2.


It's crazy how many people I know that are on Wagercat, and with different agents. I should've been one.

I assume they'd require you be local for settling purposes. Ask around with the guys you run with or socialize with Randall, guarantee there are several.

BBdK when you hear me say I bet lines a -2 is perfect example. I never take those because it begs you to bet a team Vegas doesn't think will win by a FG and usually they either lose by a late FG or win by 1.

I'm down with that, but honestly thought WKU would roll, and if you watched the game, they should have. Their QB is in his 6th year, offense is dope & experienced, but his receivers were bums last night.

-I vouched for you btw, TheRandall, don't let me down.

I get it man, I swear I do but it makes me sick how good Vegas is! But there are glitches in their system once you catch what they are trying to entice you to do and realizing it works.

My favorite play(and I hate betting NFL) is a road team -1 in the NFL. People always want to bet a home team and a favorite and Vegas rakes on this line because all the home team has to do is WIN!!!!

I've honestly seen that spread covered multiple times where the home team has to go for 2 for the tie and fail. Of course I should be on edge but when you feel like your on Vegas side it's almost comical knowing the **** won't go against you.

Felt good that I was getting to the cash window when WKU was driving under 4 minutes to go and and 8 point lead. Nice kick to the gut when Vandy punches in the covering TD on 4th down. Was hoping for a shot of covering in OT.

0-1

-$55

Meh, it's GAMBOL. If I won all the bet I "almost" won, I could retire early, or at least take a nice trip somewhere. :sunglasses:

Vegas is amazing, that's nothing new.

Cats touched me as well, and that was WITH Teasing them down to -7 in a 3 team sweetheart (Push loses on that bet)

Hit a 4 team sweetheart for $50, and only needed UK to win by 8 to win my $100 3 Team sweetheart....so, ended the day down $20 instead of being up $150 with our nice little collapse. [eyeroll]


-Teaser option for OSU -7.5 tonight (-220) is very tempting...

How's everyone feel about the O/U @ 53.5?

I don't know a thing about VaTech, except they beat OSU last year and Meyer will not let up.

Throughblue I'm not pointing fingers hell I went 0-2 and by dollars in sure I lost more than everyone in this thread combined, sadly.

But I follow that **** because it seems Vegas sets lines higher the first few weeks then when we start taking some underdogs they set them lower.

Either that or as my wife says, their f'n ******** taking our money like that!

came out $40 down from the weekend.

-14 still seems low for this game, I hate going against the home dogs though.

0-2 abs -$110 on the weekend.

Didn't get to watch a second of the game so at least I didn't have to see the collapse unfold live.

No clue where to lean on the game tonight. Probably a pass for me. Lick my wounds and move onto weekend 2

Yep, that's me too. Every time I bet just to "have an interest" I lose because I talk myself into the favorite 99% of the time.

I will say, and I did forget for Baylor, is the halftime lines are golden as are a team that doesn't cover a few weeks in a row or vice versa. A few weeks in I really begin to google against the spread every week before even looking at them.

No opinion on the side tonight...do lean under the total but not enough to place any risk. Generally stay away from the O/Us. Started the season with Western Michigan, UCLA and A&M. One early line has caught my eye for week 2...Michigan.

Thought about placing a little on Seattle (MLB) at 6:40pm, but likely just take a pass today.

Hit OSU -10 halftime line to save face.

NFL this week and I hope I have it in me to stay away. That is a league I can honestly say if I go thru and pick lines I like then bet the exact opposite I'd win, but I don't do that.

^ always been my fav strategy.

Risked $275 to win $125 last night on that -7.5...shew. Now back to $0 balance, making up for my poor opening week. Fresh slate.

Well I'm still down 350, but it was a lot worse before OSU. Sadly with a great wolf lodge mini vaca around the corner I was looking at having to pay the MAN......false!
