Betting tips

[monster]

It was an honest question. You had a great week the week before and this loss was so big the other way I was wondering whether you just thought the spread was off or if you had predicted a win. I guess it's a sensitive point for you.... but really, this behavious is totally inappropriate. You won't need to worry about my hurting your feelings any more, though -my tryng to follow your tips was more of a charitable thing than anything else. no skin off my nose.

But don't pm me again.

When people start comments with 'oh dear' it could be mistaken for snarky....esp around here.

Maybe he didn't know that 'oh dear' was going to be followed by charitable feelings of good will.

Kind of over kill to post a message instead of just asking him although I can see how shaken up you are.

[W.HI.P]

i guess no one here watched goodfellas.



don't take it personally monster.

[Clodfobble]

Yeah, W.HI.P. didn't mean anything by it. He'd tell his own brother to go fuck his mother.

Can we bet on that and win some money?

cha-ching

no offence whip but it's the first time I could see a fine and wealthy outcome on a wager

....and you did say one could bet on anything!

or someone did anyway

[monster]

being told to go fuck my mother is a non issue -my kids tell me that before breakfast, but a PM by definition is personal, just keep it public, mmmkay? Sky, you're deluded.

[W.HI.P]

monster, what can i say...i'm an asshole, its just me.
take it or leave it.
i didn't mean to hurt your feelings, although i assume that was your original goal.
besides, some people are into incest....its a human thing.

[skysidhe]

Don't tell me about your problems.


you who changed your stance while on your time out and fortified with beers you then came back to be rude to me twice

don't make me your target for your bent up hostilities or whatever your problem is

i'm not touching thursdays game this week as it is between two of the weakest teams in the game.
my bet of the week, is the giants, who at home, are taking 2.5 points from the weak cowboys.
given the strong belief i have on this game, i'll be opening up the wallet this week and increase the money bet.
we'll use the giants as a base, and combine it with, the dolphins, falcons, redskins, chiefs, bucs and jaguars.
all teams are taking points, and other than the bucs, they're all at home.

1]new york giants vs dallas cowboys[-2.5]
2]miami dolphins vs new england patriots[-5.5]
3]atlanta falcons vs philadelphia eagles[-6.5]
4]washington redskins vs new orlean saints[-10.5]
5]kansas city chiefs vs denver broncos[-5.5]
6]carolina panthers[-6.5] vs tampa bay bucs
7]jacksonville jaguars vs houston texans[-1.5]

1 base with 6 games = 15 bets x $500 = $7.500

the base with...
2 wins = $3.500
3 wins = $10.500
4 wins = $21.000
5 wins = $35.000
6 wins = $52.500

this could end up being a very very good week.

[W.HI.P]

we'll be cashing in on $10.500

stay tuned for college bowl picks.
our track record in the ncaaf bowls is remarkable.
lets make some serious money

[classicman]

so you won $3000? or you won your investment plus the $10,500? I assume the first, but just thought I'd ask to be sure.

its $3000 profit.
one more win would have taken it to $13.500.
thats why we bet in a defesive fashion.
any other type of betting would give us a return of 0.
i actually made a bit more than that as i had 21 bets rather than the 15 showing as i added the oakland win over the steelers.
that game was not available when i posted the picks due to the question of wether or not the steelers qb would be starting.
it finally opened up at 14.5, which in my eyes, was absurd.

if you think about it, we lost 3 games, and made $3000.
..and thats what this thread is really about.
not so much what to bet on, but how to bet.

[classicman]

As you can probably tell, I have placed exactly zero bets in my life. I'm curious and I'm attempting to follow the logic. thanks.

[W.HI.P]

despite some good games, lets take it easy till the free money play-off games come.

1] atlanta falcons vs new orlean saints[-10.5]
2]minnesota vikings[-7.0] vs cincinnati bengals
3]dallas cowboys[-1.5] vs san diego chargers
4]new york giants vs philadelphia eagles[-1.5]
5]san fransisco 49ers vs arizona cardinals[-6.5]

10 bets x $300 = $3.000

3 wins = $2.100
4 wins = $8.400
5 wins = $21.000

the idea here is to get 4 wins if you can.
5 wins is not really expected, but may come for that big cash-out.
hopefully if its a bad week, we get $2.100 back out of the $3.000 wagered.
