If I lose this bet I am taking 2 weeks off, I can't take it

Bet-It-All · Jan 14, 2007

I had Clips -1.5 1st Half Up 5 with 1 min left and managed to fuck that up.
Now the Clips will go on to win the game by 20.

South Miss +12.5 In the game the whole game and had a lead with a few minutes left and managed to not cover by .5.

Pittsburgh -5.5 They are up 8 and some fucking prick hits a 3 pointer at the buzzer and I lose by .5

St.Johns +7.5 not that bad as St.Johns was losing most of the game but if they didn't foul when they had no chance to win and Uconn was running out the clock I would have won.

I have one bet Left that you still have time to Fade: Hawaii -1.5 1st Half.

So here is the bet thats going to put me a two week vacation.

Seattle Seahawks +390

I could cash out the remaining money in my account but why not just lose it all it will be more fun.

Seattle Seahawks ML $300 to win $1170

So this means any straight bet you make parlay it with Bears ML and you can improve the payout because Bears will blow them out.

I think Seattle has a very good chance to win and there is a lot of value in the line. The Seahawks did get an extra day of rest which will help with some of their injuries. I feel the Seahawks will be able to get pressure on Grossman and they should be able to slow down their running game. Seattle won't be able to run but I think Hasselback will have a good day through the air. Predicted Score Seattle 20 - Bears 17. But what do I know I've lost my last 5 bets (Hawaii will lose)

I'm 2-17 on my last 19 straight bets spanning the last 3 months. I think I'll stick to strictly scalping from here on.

ever since pinny went down, I haven't been able to pick a winner to save my life. I don't know what it is but I have suffered bad beats along the way too. Sorry to hear that Clippers 1st half bet loss, and I hope they end up losing straight up.

Wow Korn sorry to hear that..

Bet-it-All

I wouldn't trust the Seahawks on the road myself. Bears first stringers have been on break for awhile. Only way Hawks win IMO is if Grossman plays Gross..

Bet-It-All · Jan 14, 2007

In my list of complaints I forgot to add these:

On Friday play in NBA played Philly and Toronto 1st Half

Both teams go on to win and cover easily.

Gyno:

I know Seattle is a different team this year but they did get a road win in Carolina last year in the Playoffs. If you look at the QB match up Hassleback Vs Grossman there has to be value in Seattle. Seattle got a lucky break against the cowboys and one spark can start a fire. If you faded QBs who over the last years who have 1 game or less exprience in the playoffs your record would be pretty good. So far this year Eli Manning and Romo both lost.

what about fading Roehtelsberger(sp) his first playoffs?

Bet-It-All · Jan 14, 2007

Roethlisberger was 1-1 after his first two games and 0-2 ATS.

Too much credit given to QB's IMO..

Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson have won Superbowls.

Name any other Position in any sport that matters more than QB? Pitcher is the only other position and Lines are made based on Whos pitching.

Goalie

FairWarning · Jan 14, 2007

I can relate. I am on a 8-24 streak in college hoops. Just watching the last 30 seconds of the UCLA game was enough.

Sugarbear · Jan 14, 2007

Please, I have someone down 12,500 as we speak and he swears I have saved him half of that if he had been betting on his own. He cant control himself. Everything that can go wrong, has gone wrong. I mean everything. Did anyone see that UNLV game. WTF. How bout that stupid college play by the Saints to fumble the ball. Lets see, three of the weakest most hurt teams win out right in the NBA last night. Do about 25 college work ups, my notes were mostly dead on and I managed to pick almost every loser. Worse they lost in overtime or by a point or two of the spread or just lost. Left the winners on my sheet to laugh at me when I looked at them just now.

At least I had the Colts.

Dont get me started.

Will you PLEASE kill yourself already? Seriously. It's bugging me that you haven't committed suicide yet. Stop being so non-committal and indecisive and just grow some testicles and do it already.

Offensive line. Peyton behind Oakland's = crap. Aaron Brooks behind Indy's = All Pro. Offensive lines allow skill position players to succeed.

that's not A postion...a position would be left tackle, center, etc...

If are letting a bet get to you like this then you should already be taking time off.

Ignorant statement. I assume we're talking team sports, well it's impossible to compare. In so many sports one position is only as good as another position allows it to be, as in the case of linesman -> QB. That is the idea by team sports, you require a team to work well together instead of playing as individuals. I think you're only considering US sports anyway.

A QB is nothing without his offensive line. Give Brady or Manning the Texans or the Raiders offensive line where he would consistently have less time to pass and let's see how low their ratings go.

I thought Big Ben's performance in the Superbowl last year showcased this to everyone.. 9-21 2INTs horrible game.. But they still won..

I have Sea ML too !

I know how important the Offensive line is but the Offensive line is not a single position. Thats like saying the team has good Guards in basketball.
I think the Bears and Seahawks have about equal have offensive lines.

Goalie and Pitcher are the only position with the same impact in team sports.
