The Degenerate Gambler Talk Thread ....

[SFNL]

Gave up betting on NFL after last year. Would kill college then give it all back on NFL.

This year I'm 93-71 in a college football pickem w/ confidence for $100 buyin. 4th place
Only .500 in CFB games that I've bet
Looking at 22-15-2 in an NFL pool (pick 5 games each week) and 5th.

Basically.... It seems as though I'm putting myself through the aggravation for nothing.

In college I find most success in teasers and sweetheart teasers.

I'm also on meltdown in FF because I have the most points out of anyone in our 12 man league & am now 3-4-1

Parlaying Seattle -14 and over 43.5 tonight.

Thinking about some prop bets too. One that sticks out at me is Russell Wilson o/u 28.5 pass attempts.

i supported this parlay pregame. but the over looking far away at the moment.

what is a sweetheart teaser?

This info is probably somewhere, but how do I understand the betting lines? I know the +/- in a game. What do some of the other bets mean?

The moneyline is who is going to straight up win the game. If it is the favorite then you wont get paid nearly as much but if you bet money line on the underdog then it will have a substantially higher payout. The over/under is for how many total points are scored by the two teams so you can bet on whether they will combine for over that total or under that total.

Hope that helps

It's a teaser between 3-4 bets where you instead of 6-7 point teasers it can be up to 10-13 point teasers. Odds obviously go down a lot but they seem to work. I think it might be a Bovada thing though.

I am curious about Bovada. I have never bet on the net. Is that a reliable site? Do you really get paid when you win?

I have not taken out money yet, but I have since moved on from there and found a new site called 5dimes. I've been told it's the best and very reliable. They also get their lines in way earlier than Bovada.

Thanks. I'll check that out.

Not sure about the spreads, but I want to take the overs on both (BU/OU 73, UO/SU 61.5)

Probably going to make my decision tomorrow afternoon.
