I'm looking over the early lines right now. One bet stuck out to me.
STL +7 (-110) vs. Carolina @ Pinnacle
Olympic just came out with this line as well, but at -6. Now, let's see who's line budges. I bet it's going to be Pinnacle's. Hell, even if you just want to scalp this out, this would be a good line to take.
More to come later
Already down to +6.5 at Pinny with -101 juice. Probably going lower, nice call.
Ah, the joys of scalping.
So, I essentially have 1 unit on Oakland +10 @ (+106).
How? I put down 5 units at Skybook, using the free half point to get to +10 from their 9.5 (-110). I then sold a point at Pinny, bringing their -9.5 to -10 (+114) for 4 units.
So now I am essentially risking .94 units to win 1. Voila! +106! GO RAIDAS????!
And if anyone wants to know I placed this, it was because of the Pinny lean. :)
Oakland +10 (+106) @ KC
1 unit at Skybook
Allrighty: here we go.
MIN M/L @ MIA (+158.8)
2 units at Matchbook
MIN +4 @ MIA (-120)
3 units at Skybook
OAK +8.5 @ KC (-110)
2 MORE units at Skybook
DET M/L @ ARI (+117.6)
2 units at Matchbook
DAL +1 vs. IND (-105)
1 unit at Bodog
PIT/CLE Over 37 (+102.9)
1 unit at Matchbook
Is there a reason no one here is touch NE -5.5?
Why do you like Minny so much?
One more:
BAL/ATL 1st half OVER 20.5 (-104)
1 unit at Pinnacle
I don't mind it. GB at home, Brady has been shaky the last couple of games, Favre has been looking a little better... those are the reasons against. Still, I think it's a good bet.Quote:

WOAH! SOMEONE'S IN MY THREAD! :D
bigspenda: I'm not touching NE 'cause a lot of the public is on it. I really want to, but...
and zook:
Minnesota > Miami, in my opinion. This game should be pick'em, not Miami by -3.5 (or with my free half point -4).
Sorry for the absence of write-ups. I have to go in a little bit and didn't really have time. If y'all want reasons and such, tell me and I'll give you my leans before crunch time when it's time to put bets in.
Hey man, Im just glad you got your bets posted so I could steal em.Quote:

GL lee.
3-5-1. Owchies.
Units won: -3.21 units
So I guess Minnesota wasn't that good after all. I was banking on them today. And Detroit sucked against...wah? The Cardinals? I really don't like teh Cardinals at all. No matter what side I'm on, I seem to lose money with them. I've won one bet...by a half point.

Since I had 1 unit at Oakland +10 (+106) and 2 on Oak +8.5 (-110), I'll just take a weighted average, since they both won and are almost the same bet. So that's a 3 unit win at somewhere between -100 and -105. Just thought I'd clarify.
And uh...this week kinda sucked. Two things that I am for are doing well with +money plays and doing well on plays that I put more on. I pretty much failed miserably this week. My bigger bets lost and pretty much all my +money plays lost. Damn...
Oh well: on to next week!
