The betting thread - who ya got?

  • Iliketurtles
    Ended up 9-10-3 for my bets on today and pretty sure all 3 last chance money making parlays I did are already finished just not a good day for me. But if I can hit on that 10 point teaser tomorrow I will get my money back and then like 8 bucks from every thing I lost today haha.

    Hawaii played like dog shit Thursday. I'd expect them to play angry tonight.

    Hawaii has been hit or miss but I'd take them. But I'd probably take Wyoming +10.. which means if you take Boise you'll win.

    Yeah, I considered the Rainbow Warriors, but after getting beat by 12 the other night against a terrible Cal Poly team, I've cooled on them. As Turtles said, they're very inconsistent.

    Looks like we MAY get Butler, Turtles. The Bulldogs battled back, despite a 1-for-17 start from three. Up 3 with about 30 seconds. Need one stop and then to hit some free throws.

    Fucking Markel Starks sends the game to overtime for the Hoyas on a last-second three. Dick move.

    The Hoyas are in foul trouble, though, so hopefully Butler can maintain momentum.
  • Iliketurtles
    Lol I just have Butler in that parlay which it looks like Wichita state won't cover.

    At least I passed on Toledo earlier spread was 15.5 they only won by 15!

    Rec, Cal Poly won again today by 8 UC Santa Barbara maybe they aren't that terrible lol.
  • reclegend22
    Ah. Thought you took them as a single bet also.

    Glad I passed on UT as well. That was a game I contemplated pretty closely. The Rockets burned me big at Western Michigan, though, so I decided fuck them.

    And yeah, Cal Poly might not be that bad, after all. I am probably done betting on that shit conference. I always seem to get burned.
  • reclegend22
    God I hate Markel Starks. What a bitch. He was 3 of his last 13 before making that buzzer shot, and now he is taking over overtime. Haha what a joke.
  • Iliketurtles
    Nah I had like 19 bucks left after bets today and put 16 on those parlays I mentioned earlier. I have 3.84 left but that's going to be for playing poker later when I'm really drunk.
  • reclegend22
    Haha. Yeah, I'm not doing so hot today, either. Can't catch much of a break. Just when you think you're going to catch one, an asshole like Markel Starks drops in. Oh well.

    Even better than the browns threads?
  • reclegend22
    I'm starting to hate it myself. Haha. I definitely am encouraged to bet more because of it. It makes me crave more and more action. Lol.

    Did you end up taking Hawaii, birddog? I'm gonna do it. Time to right a sinking ship. Let's go Rainbows.

    Also took Portland -12 against Boston. I'm sure I'll regret my foray back into the NBA, but I'm doing it anyway. Let's go Trail Blazers.

    Then parlayed the two.

    Those are great threads but there is too many trolls and retards on there.

    This thread is purely betting feins looking to earn a buck.
  • reclegend22
    Boston 30, Portland 22 at The Rose Garden. Lol.

    Hawaii playing well so far, though. There's that.
  • Midstate01
    I was right. Hawaii looks much better.
  • reclegend22
    ^^Yeah, good call. Still early, but it appears as if Hawaii has resdisovered its Christmas magic. They looked really good for a stretch. I still think Standhardinger could propel this team to an NCAA win if they somehow make it in the dance.
  • Midstate01
    They will have bad stretches of games. Because when they go on the road, they REALLY go on the road. They don't even come back to the rock. They just stay on the mainland for long periods of time. I'd guess that's tough to deal with.
  • Iliketurtles
    Lol of course when I don't bet it Wyoming does cover and actually wins the game.
  • reclegend22
    Sometimes it feels like no matter what you pick, the opposite will always happen. Hawaii loses by one and Portland only up by 6 on the hapless Celts with a minute left. I mean, fuck. Lol. Got damn. That Portland-Boston game is the kind that, if you hesitate and don't pick the obvious (Portland covering -12), the favorite wins by 30. Then you pick it, and it's a nail-biter.

    Ok, so I am officially done with the NBA, starting now. This time for real. Haha.
  • birddog23
    I certainly did take Hawaii....
  • reclegend22
    So far today:

    Iowa +7
    Teaser: SMU +21, 49ers +7, Broncos +2

    Will do more depending on how things go early. Yesterday was a disaster, so hoping for a big improvement.
