If you go by the theory that Bookies do indeed know what they're doing in setting these spreads there is some good oppurtunity in the Provincial lottery's if you want to play ties. The British Columbia Sports Lottery has 5 games with 2.5 or less point spreads and 10 games that are at 3.5 or more.

I put $2 on
New Orleans and Philly, Seattle and San Fran, Cleveland and Denver, Pittsburgh and Chicago, and Dallas and the Giants to play tie games. Payout would be $430.78

So if the Bookies are right there is some money to be made on tie games this week.

Other games like Baltimore at San Diego, New England at Jets, Arizona at Jacksonville, Oakland at KC could end going either way and be 3 point games.

Of course this would happen...Clemson just owning Boston College (Boston College one first down and 5 total yards) in the 3rd quarter and now there's a delay!! Never seen a delay in football before

I talked my friend out of taking Tennessee (+29) and he talked me out of betting Washington (+19). Idiots.

Serious Injury? Lightning? Power Outage?

Lightning actually twice delayed!!! First for 55 minutes next for 45 minutes...I geuss the official sportsbook call is the game must be 55 minutes in for a payout or else money is just returned like a push. It was quite funny to watch a game for 5 hours to finally get a return..but man Clemson just hammered them for a nice 2 unit payout.

Well after two weeks, I think it's safe to say that my "locks" for the NFL seem to pay, but I don't know jack about college ball.

Such a great feeling after switching over from that bull money taking sports select. just a simple one game bets.

Colts with a nice cover just barely..a lot of people were on Miami.

Yep. If you play pro-line, you might as well just give your money to me. I'll guarantee better odds than pro-line.

I like finding a friend who has a differing opinion on a game, and betting straight up with him/her.

Even better odds than those internet sites.

Had a nice win on the Fins +1.5 first half last night simply because I was too tired to stay up for the entire game. That worked out well!
