GAMBOL

Hyman I need to know if your going to play for money. If not Ill play your picks myself small time just to see, but you better come with something better than Carolina -3 man.

Here is what I'm saying, if you hit 60% of 2 team parlay(pay 2.5) your math plays out hypothetically:

$10 wins 25, so 10 bets = 6x25 = 150 - 40= your up $110 after 10 weeks

If you don't have money on the line I believe in you but for some odd reason once your money is in play its like your bound to just fall in to betting "smart" and losing.

60% is elite, pro gambler level. Here's hoping you can do it.

While a 55 percent winning mark may not sound all that impressive, it is. Such a performance would put you among the very best handicappers in the world and you'd be one of the rare bettors to show a profit over time.

You're on, but through the playoffs cutting off before Super Bowl.

Just confirm here.

 

[HymanKaplan_rivals48997]

Sounds good.

This doesn't make me feel very good about my wager. Like I said, I don't really know crap about it. But it'll be fun to try anyway.

Betting lines is a motherf*cker. TS.

 

[HymanKaplan_rivals48997]

kk - I'm not setting lines here, I'm just using the line that is in the paper/etc. and picking two games a week. Carolina -3 seems like a good bet, that's all.

 

[krazykats]

I get it, I'm saying it won't hit, I'll go a step further and say Philly wins.

 

[HymanKaplan_rivals48997]

bad start

 

[krazykats]

Once again I like a lot of games:

IU +14.5
BAMA -14.5
Va Tech -3.5
Texas Tech +14.5
UK +12

 

[gattongrad09]

Took Aub +7 ...I hate GAMBOL

 

[krazykats]

I got raped at 330 game but USC, LSU and OSU got me back now if MSU covers I hit some parlays to

 

[krazykats]

Hit for +635 last night and close to even, rough betting. A lot is already in on NFL games today yet I don't see a game I like.

Big money in on Pitt, Minnesota, NE and Tampa........f'n Tampa playing the skins.......WTF!!

 

[HymanKaplan_rivals48997]

Damn, I split on the Clown/Wodie challenge

Prolly what I deserve. Philly crapped the bed, and bailed me out. That Atlanta game was a pretty bad beat. Don't throw an INT in the end zone, or make a FG, and I'm up. Oh well, made for an interesting Sunday night game.

 

[krazykats]

Carolina is so weird of a team, really they suck, but every week they find a way. Good pick there. NFL was stupid today, and I got several I'll never bet the NFL text today.

 

[HymanKaplan_rivals48997]

GB at -2.5 is a steal IMO.

I'm putting that in the challenge right now.

 

[jwheat]

Kentucky -13 in hindsight was a terrible idea

 

[BBdK]

I teased UK to -21 inside a 2 team parlay, and STILL lost. [eyeroll] #Cayuts!

I bet UK -21 was paying thousands, tough miss there!

 

[jwheat]

Picking Tennessee regardless of the line

 

[krazykats]

UK hasn't covered in at least the last 3 games. UT is coming off a surprising effort vs BAMA.........so I expect UK to cover easily for no other reason than to troll the fans betting against them.

 

[HymanKaplan_rivals48997]

I know you all don't bet NFL much, but I would think ARI -10 is a good play

 

[HymanKaplan_rivals48997]

I'll take action if someone responds before kickoff

Nothing big, 20 bucks

 

[jwheat]

What's the over under for tonight

 

[HymanKaplan_rivals48997]

48

 

[HymanKaplan_rivals48997]

Anybody? Anyone want to put up 20 that the Ravens can keep it under 10?

 

[jwheat]

Taking that Arizona might get there by them self

 

[krazykats]

I love betting NFL, until I actually do it and remember that I've thought on multiple occasions to bet against what I legit think, which is very tricky for me.

I'd have bet Zona -10 too so good luck with that!

 

[krazykats]

Missed extra pt looks like it could become an issue for both bets in this game. Vegas!!

 

[HymanKaplan_rivals48997]

If I take a beat on this my head might explode

 

[HymanKaplan_rivals48997]

Mother of god...

 

[krazykats]

Amazing enough to make you at least consider the fix just might be in. But if you watch some of these close games there is always something so stupid or bizarre that you can't fathom how. A missed extra pt led to the Ravens going for 2 I. Order to make it 8 and not at least a push.

And coincidentally you know there was more money on Arizona.

 

[BBdK]

Welcome to Gambol Hyman, pretty easy stuff.

 

[HymanKaplan_rivals48997]

I took a couple on the chin. If the damn kickers do their job I'm perfect

Now that you're putting money down and following the lines more closely, you'll probably find that you may have been a bit off about how well you were picking games.

It's funny. It happens to everyone when you first start. I guess we think were picking correctly but reality says false.

 

[HymanKaplan_rivals48997]

no doubt about it. My 60 percent prediction was lofty (borne out of ignorance, not ego)

makes inconsequential games a lot more interesting though.

I wouldn't throw dirt on my coffin yet though.

It took some freak plays to beat my picks.

 

[krazykats]

Actually I think you do pick better without betting. Which is why I wanted to know if he was going to bet. Once money is on the line things that may seem weird or if you get a feeling on something that doesn't seem smart would hit, but if your money is on the line you'd try to pick smart.

Like BBdK said welcome to gambol.

 

[bluthruandthru]

Freak plays are the norm, not the exception.
Still pullin' for ya though.

 

[HymanKaplan_rivals48997]

Then why aren't they called normal plays?
