The betting thread - who ya got?

    I like the Louisville bet. Wanted to make that today.

    Can't put any money on today though as Bovada's call center is down. Personally, I've never felt comfortable using a credit card and prefer wire transfer. Apparently, Bovada is being investigated right now over some dispute in the Philippines and have suspended certain services (i.e. call center). I've checked some bovada and poker message boards to see what people are saying and the general consensus is the investigation is not believed to be part of a future seizure of the site.

    I don't have any money in my account right now, so it doesn't matter, but last time I did when the site was still called Bodog I barely got my money out in time.

    Arizona is riding a 3 game win streak and it wasn't long ago when the Colts lost by 30 to the Rams. If they had Wayne im sure they would be a 2-3 point favorite. Them being a 3 point road dog isn't surprising at all.

    Shit. Keep me informed. That's the service I've been using.

    I've been monitoring pretty closely over the past several days. Was really pissed last night when the call center was still down. OK State was a fucking lock.

    As I said, I don't think the investigation involves the U.S., so the site should be fine. Somebody on some poker message board posted an email or something they received from Bovada explaining the situation and it basically said that it involved the Philippines taking action against Bovada for allegedly operating in a part of that region that it shouldn't have been or something. Not sure. I'll see if I can find it and post here.

    I'm not too worried right now about another U.S. seizer of the site. As soon as the call center is back up, I will be putting money in my account.

    Here's the email that some poker player posted a couple of days ago on another site regarding Bovada:

    "As you may have heard, Bodog Asia has been falsely accused of running a numbers game to residents of the Philippines (part of our license agreement is not to offer services to residents of the Philippines and, therefore, we do not). The local police are, however, obliged to follow up the accusation and we are, of course, fully cooperating with them to quickly clear up the situation. In the meantime, some of our services are, naturally, being disrupted as our staff help the police. We are confident this issue will be resolved quickly with minimum disruption to our customers and we thank you for your patience."

    I mean, who knows what's really going on since it's happening overseas, but it doesn't look to be a situation where unloading funds out your account is a concern. All online transactions are still open and the site appears to be fully operational other than telephone customer support.

    I put money on PATS to win for just over even money. You should do it too.

    Denver wins 27-17.
  • Iliketurtles
    Yeah I like the Broncos and the under.
  • dlazz
    I put the remaining cash in my account on Peyton getting the first TD of the game tonight.

    It was paying out 40/1.

    Fucking Ridley.

    Yeah.. gotta think the Pats will score points in the 2nd half. I also think the Broncos get another TD before halftime. Good thing I put 3 times as much on the -3 than I did the under lol.

    The OSU/Michigan line has been moving pretty steadily since it opened.

    Opened at -12, now at -16.5

    Damn. Wish I could of gotten at -12. Bucks will easily win by two touchdowns. Michigan is so bad right now that their unbearable to even watch for me. I still may have to take -16.5. Rivalry or not UofM sucks.
