    well, here:

    won outright

    won outright

    won outright

    9 points in second half. Extremely easy winner.

    Won outright.

    -4 or -4.5 and they won by 17. Easy cover.


    I also try to track my plays on a spreadsheet.


    As for tonight, I posted my pick for SNF in the Virtual Vegas event thread, but it sounded like no one was interested here, so I didn't bother.

    I'm pretty sure I won't be betting Stanford tonight.

    I did find an interesting angle on the game, thanks to a poster at SBR.

    I have what is called "The Reverse Midas Touch".

    Everything I touch turns to $hit.

    I like Seattle this weekend. I wish I could be on just before the game, but in any case I'm picking them.

    Their getting 10.5 the place I go. Thats one of the biggest playoff spreads i can recently remember for a home team. Im still scared to take that. Im going to do a teaser with the Saints.

    Me too.. I might do a 3 teamer this week, the Saints down to a pickem, then you get a 2 team 10 point teaser pretty much because there is not a chance in hell the Saints are going to lose that game. Cover 10.5 I'm not sure, but definitely won't lose.

    Saints -0.5
    Jets +13
    Packers +13

    Bill Simmons is advocating that one big time.

    I listen to his podcasts and he's doing a three team 10 pointer because he considers taking New Orleans a free win.

    I think they could lose, but teasing them down to PK is attractive to many, I'm sure.

    Yeah I can't imagine them losing. I listen to Simmons too.. he was great in his Hilton contest this year, but a lot of his "thinking out loud" ideas for bets this year have been awful haha.

    I wouldn't touch the Saints game unless teasing it either way, but I think the Jets are a good bet and I have a sneaky suspicion about the Chiefs if you can get them at 3.5 or 4. What do you think this week?

    I don't think the Saints are gonna cover the 10.5 pt spread, it'll be a relatively close game

    ^^ sorry, I was away.

    I'm not sure about Ravens/Chiefs. Probably no bet.

    My only bets so far was Seattle spread and Seattle ML.

    In live betting, I took the over because Bodog had a line several points lower than it should've been.

    Jets are set up for a good Wong teaser, if anyone wants to try one.

    +2 tease to +8

    not sure what the other leg should be, though.


    I guess you could do GB as well, because they're in the same range.

    I lean Philly, though.

    Not sure if I'm going to tease.


    OK, I am.

    Bodog is offering good lines on dogs, as usual. So I'm teasing up the three dogs.

    New York Jets +10
    Football - NFL Lines WILD CARD PLAYOFFS - Point Spread
    Sat@8:05p
    (Teased 7.0 points)

    Kansas City Chiefs +10½
    Football - NFL Lines WILD CARD PLAYOFFS - Point Spread
    Sun@1:00p
    (Teased 7.0 points)

    Green Bay Packers +10
    Football - NFL Lines WILD CARD PLAYOFFS - Point Spread
    Sun@4:30p
    (Teased 7.0 points)


    This comes at a +140 price.

    Best part about Bodog is they offer higher odds at an increased cost, but that doesn't matter when you tease it.

    in other words, teasing a +3 (-110) is the same as teasing a +3 (-125)

    so I simply took all the inflated lines, which would cost more individually, and teased them all together.

    I have nothing for today's games.

    Sitting on that teaser I mentioned yesterday.

    Baltimore line remained steady at 3, as I expected.

    Philadelphia line dropped, which is mildly surprising. I thought -2.5 or -3 was fair. It's down to 2 or 1.5 now.

    after my post, late money came in hard on KC

    as often happens, sharps (so-called bettors who have a lot of money and know what they're doing) hit KC hard and drove it down to KC +3 (-112) or so.

    There went the teaser. :(

    No opinion on the next game. Could hardly be more split.

    better off doing ML with such a low line, I would think.

    I never take +1-+2.5 if I can avoid it.

    I either take ML or tease it up.

    The likelihood of it landing within that range is quite slim.
