I deposited for the bonus 3 (4?) weeks ago.
Week 5 I think I was too busy
Week 6 I didn't like any games
Week 7 I took New England over Buf at 4.5 and have $763.63
Week 8 I didn't like any games
I need to make another $1600 in wagers
NO -1
Atl -5
Min -5.5
I favor them in that order (I'm thinking all $750 is going on one bet). Thoughts?

I like all three of those games. I think I like Atl a little better than NO, but it's close. I like Min least of the three. You don't like Denver +2.5 at Pittsburgh?

I Denver in a teaser, I don't like it enough to put an amount equivalent to 1/2 my BR on one bet.

Why the hell are you putting the equivalent of half your bankroll on ANY one bet? Was this a freeplay bonus or something? How much did you deposit?
I also don't understand why you would like Denver in a parlay bet but not a straight bet. Do you mean a teaser? I definitely plan to tease Denver up to +8.5. Probably with both Indy (+8.5) and KC (+8.5).

I deposited $200, $200 bonus, $400 FTW, now I have $750. I have to wager $1600 more before I can withdrawal any. I am also considering $250 on each game, but leaning towards $750 on Atl.

Yes, I meant teaser, I used Seattle (-2) instead of KC.

Ah-ha. Since you already won a big bet, I would personally lean toward spreading your risk. Maybe even arb'ing out a big bet at another sportsbook, if you have the roll. Maybe ensign_lee can jump in with some advice here.

Nice. I like that play too. Maybe better than KC. Gonna wait a few days and make sure the lines don't move too much.

I wouldn't put it on Atlanta. They run too streaky, plus that line seems a little fishy.
Oh: and don't forget: you get reduced juice to -105 on Fridays.
Personally, I'm kinda partial to Texas -17 vs. Oklahoma State.

Thanks for the juice tip.
I'm thinking splitting the money between those 3.
Big spreads in college football scare me. I know nothing outside of the big ten

bah, I went out of town early friday and forgot to make those picks, oh wait, I would have lost 2/3
Anyway, I have $500.
I took Indy -1 early in the week for $250. I don't really like anything else
I need to wager ~$600 more after this.

Boy. I coulda told you not to do that. Line started at -3.5 and went to -3 (HUGE!!!) with 70+% of action on Seattle.
Sorry to hear that you went busto though.
