US Sports Thread (NBA, NCAA, MBL, NHL, NFL, etc.)

stingerro · 11-09-2011 12:44pm #1

As ElLocoAde is going...well, loco :cool: in football thread, here is the topic which can be quite useful for placing and exchanging tips for various US Sports. There's a few excellent tipsters here, some of them have their own log (Tom Brady and El Horseboxo stands out), but hopefully we will be able to have a decent discussion about NFL, MLB, NCAAF and in few weeks about NHL, NBA and NCAAB as well.

JONJO THE MISER · 11-09-2011 3:27pm

Excellent idea, i like to follow the u.s sports a lot.

Eire-Dearg · 11-09-2011 5:34pm

A treble for interest in the 6pm games

- Titans -1.5
- Eagles -3.5
- Steelers +1.5

€10 returns €60

I've also done

- Cardinals -6.5, Patriots -7.0, Titans -1.5

Watch the Titans mess both of them up now

Yep :pac:

Although I thought they were going to reel the Jags in with a few seconds left, they threw an INT.

Steelers did much worse.

Im all over New York Jets -6 on PP @ evens.

They had one of the best defense in the league last year and the day that is in it i don't think they will want to lose at home. Very big day for them as well with them opening up the new stadium.

( now i don't know my ass from my head when it comes to American football so if im wrong or as far out as a light house just tell me or ignore me. )

And tomorrow im on. (with thanks to Tom Brady/Archie)

New England Patriots -7 @ 10/11
Denver Broncos -3 @ 4/5

Eire-Dearg · 12-09-2011 1:52am

You're probably spot on, but as they showed on their first drive Cowboys have weapons that can make plays despite the phenomenal defence of the Jets. I think the Boys can at least stay within the spread, if not win the game narrowly. So I took the Cowboys spread :pac:

Peyton Manning · 12-09-2011 12:30pm

Patriots were down to -6.5 over the weekend at one stage. Back to -7 now, I'd expect to see that up to -7.5 before kick off.

Also, a small tip would be Wes Welker over 67.5 receiving yards. In the 7 games he's played against the Dolphins, he's averaged 7.8 catches and 98 yards a game.

Also, in more general news the weather forecast for Miami tonight is cloudy with a low enough temperature. As good as an away team can hope for when visiting Miami in early September.

Went with them two tips again on singles. Also went with this:

Any Time Touchdown Scorer
BenJarvus Green-Ellis @ 4/7

Any Time Touchdown Scorer
Brandon Lloyd @ 10/11.

The other bet i was looking at was Tom Brady over 260.5 passing yards any advice on this one? Not really sure about it. cheers

I'd avoid The Brady bet myself, simply because I think the Pats will lead for most of the game and won't have to throw the ball as a result.

Eire-Dearg · 12-09-2011 9:00pm

Waiting on Denver -3 and NE -6.5 to complete a treble with Dallas +5.5, might do just a single with NE as well.

skeleton_boy · 12-09-2011 10:43pm

OchoCinco & Lloyd TD's needed to bring in an 8/1 accum with some footy tonight.

Also went with Welker over 60.5 receiving yards @ 4/5

Well which one is -7?! Can presume it's the Patriots! It's 14-14 at the minute so your acca is screwed currently!

MON!!

user2011 · 13-09-2011 2:09am

Ah balls it was 14-7 last time i was looking at it. Do the Patriots look like beating -7? it would been nice too turn 1 to 103

Look the Patriots could win by 30 but you're still going to be waiting on another game so don't get too excited yet! They should win by 8+ though cause the Dolphins have been woeful!

Would be a correct pick - it's still 3rd quarter and he's already on 279 yrds (if I read game tracker properly). I guess it's because game is closer than expected.

Wouldn't say its in the bag! Looks like they will get points back here.

Eire-Dearg · 13-09-2011 2:20am

Too much back and forth, the defences are anonymous. There'll be nothing worse than the Pats matching the spread exactly

Ah the Dolphins quickly squashed the hope i had early when they got a touchdown. Then i got thinking anything with England in it will surely mess a punter up :pac:

Eire-Dearg · 13-09-2011 2:23am

They got a field goal there so if the Patriots go up and score another TD which they should do, it gives the -7 a bit of cushion.

Im trying to read that game tracker as well. Is W Welker over 68 recieving yards? cheers?

True the D's are non existent nearly but Brady is able to take advantage of it better!

Not yet, but he's getting closer (already on 54). I am on 60,5 though.

kmart6 · 13-09-2011 2:35am

Patriots have it covered now and can't see them not being able to by the end!

Eire-Dearg · 13-09-2011 2:36am

Either Patriot TE to score a TD anytime must be an interesting trend, at least one always seems to get on the scoreboard?

El Horseboxo · 13-09-2011 2:39am

The no huddle is killing the dolphins. I got the patriots -3.5 in play. But I reckon the -7 will come through. A 3 and out on this drive and Brady will have his way with the Miami D once again.

Doubt you'd get a general TE category though!

Brady's thrown to 8 different receivers tonight so always going to be hard to call who's going to get the TD's for them!

They like the TEs around the redzone. If I remember Gronkowski got into double figures last year and Hernandez wasn't far off it.

kmart6 · 13-09-2011 2:43am

Yeah think they said 10 for Gronkowski earlier!

Haven't been betting but just keeping an eye on the "who to score next" market on 365, there was potential for great profit tonight with Brady slicing through the Fins with ease. They were 1.40 to score next immediately after Miami's last TD for example.

kmart6 · 13-09-2011 2:48am

Jesus that was easy money!!!

stingerro · 13-09-2011 3:00am

Getting nervous about Walker bet, as he's still on 55 yrds and now it will take some time for Dolphins to give possession back to NE.

kmart6 · 13-09-2011 3:05am

Well the fact is if Miami score here means NE are prob going to run it a lot now!
