Yep, Baltimore basically did me out of an 800 dollar point spread ticket, while Washington did me out of my proline ticket with a tie

Really? I hate most of the games this weekend. I'm not crazy about the Niners (West Coast team playing early game on the East Coast), Pittsburgh (hate giving a home dog anything more than a TD), or San Diego (two TDs in a divisional matchup is high, especially for a team that tends to give up big plays on special teams).

rubecube · 09-22-2011, 11:29 AM

Games I do like this week:

Buffalo +9
New Orleans -4
Carolina -3.5
Giants +9
Arizona -3 (although I hate betting against Seattle at home)

Holy ...

Where do you get your lines from? I would put a lot on the Giants right now before that changes, even with vick.

Anyways my big play this week is a two-team moneyline parlay of the Saints and Panthers.

rubecube · 09-23-2011, 01:53 PM

The line for the Pats/Bills has moved to 7.5. I'm thinking of betting the house.

DropIt · 09-23-2011, 01:56 PM

I hesitated taking Buffalo +9, but at 7.5 I would be changing my stance pretty quick.

For my early ticket, I have a 3 game Parlay:

Buf+9 V NE
Cin-3 V Den
Car-4 V Jax

On BUFF?

NE has scored on almost every possession this year, against two defences that are supposed to be pretty good.

Unless it is raining, I can't see BUFF keeping up.

2-team Moneyline:

HOU @ NO
JAX @ CAR

7-team mix:

Buffalo +9
New Orleans
Detroit
Carolina
Arizona
Green Bay
Pittsburgh

3-team teaser:

Giants +15
Seattle +9
Pittsburgh -4.5

8-team parlay:

Buffalo +9
New Orleans -4
Giants +9
Detroit -3.5
Carolina -3.5
San Diego -14.5
Green Bay -3.5
Pittsburgh -10.5

5-team:

New England -7.5

Anyone play Sports Select Pools?

Looks like 3 players got all 16 right last week. Did they split $10K, or get $10 K each?

spydermal · 09-23-2011, 02:12 PM

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I'm pretty sure it's each. I got 14/16 and figured I might have a chance, but man was I ever wrong. It's probably the people who make the $80 tickets that win.

It was 13 people that won. And yes they each got a little over 10k. I hope someone wins it alone this year, that will be quite the payday.

I am a sucker for the pools bet on WCLC. I can't help myself.

13 people won last week with 16 out of 16. They EACH win $10,542.20.

So think of it this way:

10542.20 x 13 / 0.6 / 5 = 45,682

There were 45,682 entries. When that many favorites hit it shouldnt be a surprise when 13 people have perfect cards.

Throw in a couple of big upsets and that's when you see 1 or 2 lone winners for big bucks, or people getting paid with 1 or 2 wrong.

I've been saying it all week, and people think I am crazy but GB is a trap game. Too good to be true.
They have a couple big injuries this week while Chicago is getting key players back (Wright, Louis, Williams, Barber). Green bay didn't beat Chicago by more then 7 all season last year and only broke 20 points in one contest. I think Chicago covers that game this week.

My confidence got me into a bet with Andrew Walker from the Fan960 this morning for a case of beer

GirlySports · 09-23-2011, 08:42 PM

bet house! both NE and NO will win by alot.

esp New Orleans. Saints can beat anyone at home by 10 points. Even the best teams.
Houston are nowhere near one of the best teams.

DropIt · 09-24-2011, 08:57 AM

Proline could be the ticket to make this week with some nice games.

SF-2.75 T-3.20 CIN-2.00
MIA-2.75 T-3.20 CLE-2.00
ATL-2.30 T-3.00 TB-2.45
GB-1.80 T-3.40 CHI-3.05
