Did some CFB Regular Season Futures:
Over 10.5 Wins Boise State
Over 8.5 Wins Texas A&M
Under 7 Wins Michigan
$25 each, and then promptly won that money back playing 3 card poker on sportsbook, which means I'll end up losing it during a drunken rage after one of the aforementioned does something to eff my bets over.
I just read an article that most of those online sites stopped taking action in the US (bodog, sportsbook, etc). I guess that's not true?
guy i went through last got stiffed by a few deadbeats and is thinking about calling it quits...i might have to look for a new bookie again. that would be 3 in the last 3 years. not happy about it. :x
is your bookie the guy mike from seinfeld?
my guy is great if you're looking for someone. everything online is great. he is in jersey though

yessir.
Anyone know how long bruce feldman is suspended for? HIs college fb blog is great. One of my favorite reads during gambling season

Damn nice hit on the Exacta...my best ever was 200 on an exacta and 250 when Mine that Bird won the Kentucky Derby (bought a grill with it). Was 4/5th of the way to the Magna 5 (would have been between 15-40k win) once but didn't understand the concept of hedging bets at the time, plus didnt really have the money to do it. If I had known I would have put a couple hundred on all the other long odd horses, and a 30 to 1 came in too. Oh well.
got hooked up with my old school bookie who's back in the business today....his new site has an alternate site designed to get through firewalls and stuff at work: it's designed to look like a tire store website. thought that was pretty cool.
i've officially got the itch. football can't get here soon enough.

i caught a 99-1 over a 70 -1 at gulfstream 15 years ago
$ 2500 exacta.... just by playing my ex gf's bday ..haha
all the old men at the track wanted to kill me
2 raceslater $1,000 triple on the same numbers....i ran away after that
i post on the board of a band that doesn't exsist anymore .......i need my head examined.......
will the phils and giants both win tonight.... i bet yes
talked about bored
never bet agaist a team that has lost 10 in a row
never bet for a team that has won 10 in a row
odds are, you'll not have fun
the phils were a great bet coming off a loss with doc on the mound...the other half is where the problem was
I put $25 on the D-Bags and the over, saw the first half-inning, and rescued myself with $50 on the Phils. I like betting on games where Mark Grace is involved though.
First glance I think the Pats are a lock. They should be giving double digits. And even though mcnabb is the vikes QB, I think SD is giving too many points. Those are my two top choices a month before the season starts (so there's plenty of time for that to change)
Damn I forgot 9/11/11 was going to be opening week. This is sure to be a case study in how politics is always a part of sports. Remember it is political when they spend our tax dollars flying jets over stadiums, and we get over the top cut away scenes to people serving in Iraq and Afghanistan as if watching football means you support that too. Ughhh...I'm gonna have to gamble heavily on week 1 and hope that Wells Discount still has $20.99 loose cases of Newcastle. Anyway:
Here's my lead pipe lock bet of Week 1: Every sportscaster is gonna conveniently forget that Pat Tillman was talking to Noam Chomsky and planning to protest the war in Iraq when he returned from Afghanistan. I'd be willing to put my whole bank account on that.
Other than that I agree with Fixer on New England, Eagles on turf against the Rams, and the GMen over Washington because Washington fucking sucks.

NY vs Washington on 9/11. Gotta give the NFL credit for putting that one on the schedule. Hopefully they have some cool pregame stuff planned for that one.
did you read jon kraukauer's tillman book? spectacular. extremely sad, disappointing, and frustrating
Anyone getting the itch like me for football and started betting on baseball? NyG vs. Wash and NyJ vs. Dal on Sunday night is going to be so fucking ridiculous I'll probably have a whole semesters worth of shit to talk about. Have not read the book, but have done tons of academic reading/my own research on him. Totally incredible and complex human being who actually had independent thoughts on many things including the two different wars. It's so sad that he was used as a face to help promote sacrifice for one's country for a war that he hated. Anyway, that'll be in the back of my mind, as I hopefully watch the Cowboys beat the fucking bejesus out of the Jets. We generally match up well against teams like the Jets, but it's Week 1 so who knows.

First glance I like dallas plus the points in that game. I hate taking the jets as favorites. Their games are usually close, so I'd much rather have the points.
I don't bet baseball until the playoffs. I am building my stash of man money for the upcoming football season. I start small with my college bets. ONce the conference games start it is bombs away. I don't mind throwing some big money on the early season NFL games, I will pick my spots early on. Once October hits I will be in full on degenerate mode...betting around 50 games a weekend and the MLB playoff games. I love it.
First glance I think the Pats are a lock. They should be giving double digits. And even though mcnabb is the vikes QB, I think SD is giving too many points. Those are my two top choices a month before the season starts (so there's plenty of time for that to change)
San Diego is notorious for its poor starts, so taking 8.5 with the McVikings looks solid. (Heck at +330 the money line is intriguing, SD has lost to inferior opponents to open 2 of the last 3 seasons)

I was on KC big last year. Wasn't Oakland one of those games too. I vaguely remember Oakland going up big and pissing the lead away late (but still covering). I was on the Raiders in that game as well...which was the late MNF game of opening weekend.
It's amazing how vividly you remember the games you bet on.
i must admit. i glanced at the lines on my site a few days ago too. too early to start thinking about locks and stuff before they even play preseason though.
defenses are gonna be way ahead of offenses early on this year due to the lockout
also moving the kickoff up to the 35 will probably mean lower totals this year. last time it was at the 35 was 1993 and only 4 kicks were returned for td's that year. last year there were 23.

they had to figure out a way to compensate for all the dumb penalties the defense gets in today's game.
I think 6 games went under during the entire 2010 season

its always good to wake up at 5am and see you're down for the day already

pirates blow..had to go giants....that worked out real well
unless they are playing the cubs on a hot humid summer night at wrigley.
but that was coming off a win.
i'm still dissapointed by that performance
