Sports Betting thread

We need to start sharing our picks on here before the games! I had a profitable weekend, up 2.5 units, b/c OU was my number 1 game of the weekend....unfortunately I was correct on my #'s 3-6 also, but #2 game-Mizzou had an epic 4th quarter/o.t. meltdown to cost me quite a bit of money (not lost---just profit on parlays). I like to bet my straight up games and then parlay them for very low risk high reward, MU cost me a 6 teamer, and a 2 and 3 teamer. I already hated them, now I REALLY hate them.

My college plays for the week as of now(I might add one or two more)

Arizona State -12 vs Colorado
Kent State -1 vs Akron
Kansas +28 vs Texas
Oregon State -4.5 vs USC
North Texas -5.5 vs Rice
Texas Tech -1.5 vs Texas Tech

I listed them in order of confidence.

I've been getting killed on parlays this year. I've been taking the money line and usually have good success with "safe favorites" (7-13 pt favorites), but have been getting killed this year, continually going 3-4 or 4-5 on these parlays. I haven't done much with point spreads this year, but I think I'm gonna switch it up. Just looking at this week, I like:

--AZ State (-11.5) over Wash State
--VA Tech (-5) over BC
--Northern Illinois (-23) over UMASS
--Georgia (-2.5) over Florida

Texas Tech is only -2.5 at home against Kansas St. What am I missing?

Texas Tech is not that good. They should win but it will be very close. Would not touch, personally.

Not many other games out there that I like. Texas has been playing pretty well so I might bet a little on them -5 at WVU. Honestly our game is one of the most generous spreads. I think I'll put some on the Nebraska moneyline too.

I know. I broke my rule of never betting on one of my teams but I can't see ND not covering the spread.

I'd bet on KSU. Texas Tech has zero wins over top 50 teams this year. Zero. They are incredibly unimpressive and have played a joke schedule.

I hear you but KState lost to an FBS school this year, didn't they?

 

[IrishLax]

I hear you but KState lost to an FBS school this year, didn't they?

I'm assuming you meant FCS, and yes... they did. It was ugly. I don't think KSU is good, I just believe in the bottom of my heart that Texas Tech is a gigantic fraud. And frauds eventually get exposed. Plus, I was impressed with how Snyder got the troops ready for Baylor and they've been playing better of late.

So far, so good KSU up 14-10.

 

[notredomer23]

KSU up 21-10!

Hopefully you didn't touch it GK

 

[IrishLax]

Remember when Pat said ND "couldn't play with" Texas Tech? A 2 loss team trending towards 3 losses with ZERO wins over teams in the top 50?

Man... that was a good one...

 

[gkIrish]

KSU up 21-10!

Hopefully you didn't touch it GK

Included them in my 8 team parlay which is going to lose no matter what. But didn't include them with my main bets of the week.

 

[gkIrish]

Texas Tech is only -2.5 at home against Kansas St. What am I missing?

Clearly a lot.

 

[IrishLax]

Clearly a lot.

Haha I don't think anyone could've predicted 35-10 at the half.... wow...

 

[gkIrish]

When was the last time a Big12 game wasn't a blowout? It's so crazy. Even when their bad teams upset a ranked team, it's a blowout.

 

[gkIrish]

ARE YOU $$(*%$(* KIDDING ME BYU. Cost me a shot at a real nice parlay by deciding not to try and win the game down 10 with 2 minutes to go. All I needed was a field goal. SMDH

Our beloved Irish killed me today. I need to not bet on teams I care about, it's a double whammy.

So I am thinking about betting on a 3 team parlay.

All 3 to cover...

Mizzou (-10) vs Central Florida
USC (-17) vs BC
Penn St (-3) vs Rutgers

Thoughts?

Sorry double post. Wasn't showing on front page so I thought it messed up. Why is that?

all 3 seem like solid bets, only one I would second guess myself on is Mizzou

It's a bet $20 to make $118. SO not much to lose but a decent amount to gain in a days worth of work. Haven't bet in a long time but have always been following it. This just feels right.

 

[IrishLax]

My favorite play of the week -- by far -- is Georgia -6.5 @ South Carolina. That South Carolina team is hot garbage on both sides of the ball.

 

[gkIrish]

Got a sneaky line for you guys. Army +28 @ Stanford.

Army lost by 14 to Stanford last year. Stanford is arguably worse than last year and Army is better.

Considering Army runs the triple option and the clock will run a lot, I think it will tough for Stanford to cover.

 

[notredomer23]

Arizona State -15.5 against Colorado is very tempting. Only thing holding me back is it is at Colorado.

I also really like Southern Miss +48.5 against Bama. Bama just doesn't kill opponents like that.

Yeah I love that line.

There's just something about South Carolina that would scare me away from this line. They always seem to lose an early game and then win like 8 in a row before losing again. But purely on the eye test, that definitely is a good line.

Since you asked, I'm not wild about So Cal laying points, far from home, the week after a huge win. But, on the other hand, don't let me talk you out of it if you feel confident about it. If I was so good at this, I'd be down on Maribel lsland or somewhere.

 

[gkIrish]

This week features some of the juiciest lines for favorites I've ever seen in my 5 or so years of betting on college football. I'm seriously considering betting $500 on a 9 team round robin.

Ole Miss -7.5 @ Auburn
ND -9.5 @ Temple
@ Texas A&M -16 v. South Carolina
Georgia Tech -6 @ Virginia
Oklahoma St. -3 @ Texas Tech
USC -6 @ Cal
Stanford -12 @ Wazzu
Clemson -10 @ NC State
Florida -3 v. Georgia

What's up guys, I was wondering if we have any other posters that bet on sports either with a site or a bookie. If so, i'd love to hear your picks and share mine. I'm on a pretty good roll as of late, and would love to hear who others are betting on.

I looked for a thread, and didn't find one. By all means delete this thread if this illegal (lol) activity is not allowed.
