D3PO, I hope you caught the end of the Virginia Tech game. What a dramatic way for us to win a bet!

Houston - 5 at Oakland

Green Bay -14 versus Detroit

Tenner a point.

Blatantly copying two of Nick Hallings recommendations http://www.sportingindex.com/spread-betting/information/nick-hallings-nfl-blog/

My own for this week is a match maker.

Green Bay to outscore Ravens. Buying at 15.5. Packers against a poor d and Ravens face one of the leagues best.

I really like a lot of games from a betting standpoint this week. I like so many that I'm not sure what way to go about it actually. I think I gotta start a bank here, I'm up for the year so far with 3 doubles up out of 5 so far. But I'll start fresh here with a 100 point bank.

I've picked out what I think are the best two and I'll double them.

Chicago Bears +4 looks really, really good to me. I worked this out with the Bears as 4 point favourites and I think they will win by more than that. But even just going by the math which is including them having a short week after playing Monday night we are getting over a touchdown here.

The New Orleans Saints -13.5 coming off an overtime loss. The Saints have not been like the team that won the Superbowl last year and I think its that Superbowl hangover thats been the problem. That loss though is what they needed, I wouldn't be taking this handicap had they won last week. The Panthers are really, really poor and even Jimmy Clausen who I think will be a success in the league is not going to change that. I just see the Saints running wild here and putting up huge numbers on the back of that loss.

5 point double Chicago Bears +4 and New Orleans Saints -13.5

Then I like all these as well.

4 x .5 pt fourfolds and 1 x .5pt accum.

Tennessee Titans -6.5
Cincinnati Bengals -3
Seattle Seahawks -1
Green Bay Packers -15
San Diego Chargers -8

Then there are the under/overs

5pt double

Steelers/Ravens under 34pts
Texans/Raiders over 43pts

Not too bad 12.5 point outlay, 18.5 point return so a 6 point profit with the over/under double coming up.

Really disappointed with the Saints today but you can't win em all as they say.

D3PO · 04-10-2010 09:31AM

Huge weekend for me just gone

at least I stopped the rot

V Tech minus 4 versus NC State Won - €110
Georgia minus 4 versus Colorado Lost - €100
Ravens scratch versus Steelers Won - €110
Seahawks versus Rams Lost - €100

Wk 1 Profit €1081.81
Wk 2 Profit €166.64
Wk 3 Loss €316.18
Wk 4 Loss €98.09
Wk 5 Profit €20.00

Season to date Profit €854.18

Bank 106pts.

I've looked at tonight's game long and hard and I can't get away from the over which is 48. Normally I would not touch something like that but I just can't see this game being under 50 points tonight. I am projecting a score of 55 tonight.

5 pts Patriots/Dolphins over 48pts @ 10/11 on Boylesports.

Separate to that, here is something that is of interest to people who like a free gamble. I had to wait this late because it would be gone if I put it up early.

On Boylesports tonight you can back Ronnie Brown to rush for over 67.5 yards at 20/23.
On Paddy Power you can back Ronnie Brown to rush for under 80.5 yards at 5/6.

So you lose feck all if he has a really bad night or a really good night but if he rushes for between 68 and 80 yards its a yeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaw.

Get on quick.

I done a treble with Archimedes 3 college teams to beat the spread last week. Pity goergia let it down, but keep them coming. If at first you dont suceed, try try again.
Recovered very well on Monday night with the Patriots at +1 at evens.
I know nothing about the college football scene, but I intend to know enough from this thread to collect a few euros of the bookies.
Keep them coming lads

El Horseboxo · 08-10-2010 09:48PM

Anyone fancy OSU to cover the -24 handicap against ULL tonight? Number 2 in points scored against number 108 in points allowed. ANd ULL haven't had a tough schedule so far. Really liking the overs also. Think i might have a little action on both.

I also like U Conn to cover the -5.5 handicap against Rutgers.

2 wins a push and one loss not bad I guess out all day so don't think I will have any NFL interest so small profit this week

Had a good look at tonight's game and I'm going with the following bets.

Bank 111.5

5pts over 37 points @ 10/11
2 pts Adrian Petersen over 94.5 yards @ 5/6
2 pts Mark Sanchez over 185 yards @ 5/6

2 pts Mark Sanchez over 185 yards @ 5/6

So I thought I got all 3 up but as it turns out it was only rushing yardage for AP and not his yardage for the night. I don't remember seeing that when I first spotted the bet but anyways lesson learnt for the future.

So bank is now 116.

eagle eye · 17-10-2010 01:00PM

Bank 116.

There are a lot of tempting bets this weekend so I'm gonna do a little multiple as well as two doubles.

5pt double
Seattle Seahawks +6
Kansas City Chiefs +4.5

5pt double
Indianapolis Colts -3
Seahawks/Bears under 37.5 pts

4 x 0.5 trebles 0.5 accum.
Chargers -9
Eagles -2.5
49ers -7
Broncos +3.5

Hi folks, I'm liking the look of some of the mythical handicaps Paddy Power have for this weeks NFL, can I have your opinion on these bets ?

NO Saints +0.5 against Patriots 10/11
I can finally see the Saints offence clicking tonight and the Patriots will have it tough against a strong Ravens defence

San Diego Chargers -2.5 against Texans 10/11
Chargers will hopefully come out firing after last weeks poor performance and I like the look of the Chiefs this year so I would give them a chance against the Texans

I don't like betting on things like myself but each to their own.

Saints away while pats at home but i like your thinking though

Just took ucla +26 @ 10/11 usual stake €100

Fr Tierney · 21-10-2010 08:52PM

Cheers Bobby Wade. I done them too, but a while earlier than D3PO. Have them at +25.5. Have a handy €50 on @ evens.
I know nothing about the college scene, but I do the spreads on a few games in the NFL most weekends, but never seen a spread this large. Anyways win or lose, keep them coming.

Lol wait till you see an fcs team versus a top side spreads of 50 plus are not uncommon I like this play tough ucla have been poor at times this year but at the same time haven't conceded over 35 in a game if they can stop lamicheal James rushing this could be a comfy cover
