Sports Gambling week of October 31-Nov 5

Mook · Post by **Mook** » Tue Oct 31, 2006 10:20 pm

It's a new week gentlemen. Posted record for college football is 30-24. Not bad, not good.

I'm heading to Vegas on Thursday for a few days, so I'll post my picks for college tomorrow.

Tonight though, my one other true gambling pleasure.....the NBA kicks off. I love betting the NBA. I'm a much bigger college hoops fan, but I there are $$ to be made in pro hoops.

NBA Season Kick-Off Wagers:

Phoenix -4.5
Phoenix Under 208.5

Provided Marion plays, PHX should cover easily. I think under should be good as well. Phoenix 102-90.

My assumption was that Phoenix would be interested in the game......I assumed wrong.

Oh well, on to another day. Nice to get off to an 0-2 NBA start.

Rack Mook. I loves me some NBA action. Made a killing in the last two months of the season, and like you said, hitting teams on the tail end of back-to-backs can mean easy $$.

I'm going with the under on Chicago-Orlando, Golden State -6.5, and Sacramento +210.

Adelpiero · Post by **Adelpiero** » Wed Nov 01, 2006 10:50 pm

Amen! Hopefully you learn to enjoy the NBA. It really is a much more watchable game now than it was several years ago.

I'm off to Vegas, first two days are work............mostly. Then I'm gonna stay a couple of days. God only knows what I'll bet on. Usually I'm a relatively disciplined gambler, but I think I'll throw that out the window this weekend!

Good luck this weekend.

Eaglebauer · Post by **Eaglebauer** » Thu Nov 02, 2006 8:49 pm

Atta way, Adel.

Either way I would like to offer my services to book your action from now on.

We can meet at Fairmount every week for you to pay me.... er, I mean, meet me.

Let's make this happen.

Adelpiero · Post by **Adelpiero** » Thu Nov 02, 2006 11:10 pm

down a lot

betting west virginia heavy

louisville struggles against running qb's. this is still the same wvu team that beat up georgia last year, they have been pounding their opponents, while lou has struggled vs the same opposition

c'mon inbreds

bets for day:

wvu PK
dallas mavs -3
buffalo sabres -210

i need buffalo and wvu badly, made big bets on both

IU +6 to get bowl eligible

like the first 2

usc and giving 20points has been bad, i have taken the points vs usc every conference game, been money

iu has to stop minny run game, their qb is horrible. stop the run, you shut down minny completely

Shine · Post by **Shine** » Sat Nov 04, 2006 11:42 pm

Just added Tejas -18.

Mook · Post by **Mook** » Sun Nov 05, 2006 4:49 pm

Nice day, Shine!

It's always a good idea to bet against Stanford!!

Mook · Post by **Mook** » Sun Nov 05, 2006 4:51 pm

It was a banner weekend. 6-1, bringing the season total to a much more respectable 36-25.

Adelpiero · Post by **Adelpiero** » Tue Nov 07, 2006 12:01 am

been sick, and it wasnt my picks.

hit breeders cup for 350, but lost over 350 sunday, putting my total over a G. fucking bad week got worse.

good thing i had a great last month of fairmount park, its paying my debts, not making my bankroll fat.

Eaglebauer · Post by **Eaglebauer** » Wed Nov 08, 2006 5:20 pm

Rutgers +7

Mook · Post by **Mook** » Wed Nov 08, 2006 5:39 pm

I don't know about that one Eagle. I'm showing 6.5 right now and at that number I'm gonna have to take Louisville. Rutgers is a fairly one-dimension team and I'm not buying the letdown factor for Louisville right now. Frankly, I think Rutgers is a poor-man's West Virginia (who'd have ever thought you'd hear that!!) but I don't see the Rutgers QB being able to beat L'ville when they inevitably stack the box to stop Rice. I'm 99% sure that I will roll with L'ville at anything 7 or under.

What are your thoughts on Rutgers? I don't think it's a bad play, I just don't see it right now.

Eaglebauer · Post by **Eaglebauer** » Wed Nov 08, 2006 5:47 pm

From a pure power ratings POV, I have this game at Louisville -3.

Louisville much tougher at home. Also the beneficiary of 5 WV fumbles last week (nice, because I had Louisville).

Super tough defense at home getting 7 on a Wednesday night a week after the road fav busted its nut in its game of the year.... fuhgettaboutit.

7s are available now and will probably become more available closer to gametime.

I think all the value is on Rutgers.

The usual disclaimer -- even the best picks lose at least 40% of the time.

Mook · Post by **Mook** » Wed Nov 08, 2006 11:05 pm

Good points on Rutgers. However, do you think their defense is really super-tough or the beneficiary of a fairly light schedule?

I think I'll be on the other side, but good luck to you.

And according to my record this year my best picks lose 41% of the time!!

Eaglebauer · Post by **Eaglebauer** » Thu Nov 09, 2006 12:41 pm

I think even accounting for strength of schedule I have this game at Louisville -3 to 3.5
