Yeah, had a problem with stream, but read about interception in last play. Was this a pass-for-TD interception? :cool:

Still, a great job by El Horseboxo to bet In Play and getting -3.5 handicap. At least he did have a easier time in last seconds of the match

Eire-Dearg · 13-09-2011 3:41am

Pats are safe so I'm out of here. Let's go Broncos to bring in a Pats/Dallas/Denver treble!

It was for the end zone with no time left but was around five yards short!

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.

Never a doubt with you

Cheers.

Wouldn't be surprised if the Broncos tank their year halfway through to try get Andrew Luck next season. They'll be in stiff competition with the Chiefs and Seahawks i reckon. Once it gets to a point where play offs are impossible i'll be opposing the bottom teams on any handicap.

kmart6 · 14-09-2011 5:35pm

Yankee's let me down on a Triple last night! Had them,Red Sox and Rangers all -1.5, €10 would returned €96....Yankee's only won by one!

Eire-Dearg · 17-09-2011 12:46am

Treble of Boise, Wisconsin and Texas Tech to beat the spread @6.95

And a single on Boise to beat the -20.5 spread tonight @1.90

Nuri Sahin · 17-09-2011 12:54pm

Thinking of Packers -10 and Jets is worth going with this evening, yay or nay?

I went to bed thinking Boise had fecked this up, thankfully they drove on and beat the spread fairly comfortably in the end.

I like the Packers spread, Jets could be dodgy though. Don't expect the Jags to do much on offense so it could be a low scoring affair.

Adamcp898 · 17-09-2011 9:17pm

Is anyone able to tell me why neither Paddy Power or Boylesports will give odds on Michigan State vs. Notre Dame later? I've no plan on trying to call the game anyway but just curious

Probably because it kicked off at half 8! You'll have to check the in-play menu.

Aw ffs you're not serious, I was going by Eurosport 2 having having it down at 10 and wasn't arsed checking anywhere else, such a game to miss :mad:

Doesn't look like a classic anyways.

Peyton Manning · 17-09-2011 10:53pm

Sickener man, which side were you gonna go for anyway out of interest? I can only assume Eurosport might have it down at that time as delayed coverage maybe? Don't have that channel myself.

Eire-Dearg · 17-09-2011 10:54pm

It's up now, currently showing the 3rd quarter?

I have no idea, don't follow ncaa football loads but I have a flick through to see if there's any games I fancy and if nothing else there's always a rivalry there and notre dame need to kick start their season. Do eurosport even have the notre games this season again?

Aw naw like I said I had no plans on trying to call it one way or the other, was just looking at the odds for some of the early morning games and out of curiousity wanted to know what spread the bookies were going with. Michigain are coming off a big win but at the same time Notre Dame aren't going to go that long without a win so wasn't going to touch it.

EDIT: Thanks Eire Dearg might stick to MOTD though now, ND looking good for the win

Treble is looking good, Wisconsin ahead by 42 and Texas Tech ahead by 31. Still a half to go in that one but I can't see New Mexico making up 11 points on them.

Bloody thunder and lightning has delayed the game twice now! The bet is in zero doubt mind you, there's absolutely no chance in a million years New Mexico outscore Tech in the second half. Lovely profitable weekend, congrats

Indeed, I was shocked that they even managed a TD. About 50% of their season total :P Still a half to go in that one, I'll be waiting a little while for any winnings!

skeleton_boy · 18-09-2011 12:19am

GB Packers -9.5
DET Lion -2.5

€20 @ just under 6/4

Eire-Dearg · 18-09-2011 12:32am

Be interesting to see how Detroit fare if Megatron is out. I'd expect them to win outright anyway but I'm less confident about them beating the spread.

Spreads I like this weekend are Bills (-4), Saints (-6.5), Packers (-10), Texans (-3), Steelers (-14) and Chargers (+6) - not necessarily in that order.

Rams +6.5 and Tampa Bay +2.5 intrigue me as well. Rams are poor against the run and are without Steven Jackson but for some reason I fancy that spread.

Tom is making me good money

Man love for Tom

3hn2givr7mx1sc · 18-09-2011 1:45am

Followed a few people on here with Oklahoma(-3) tonight and followed in Tom on Oklahoma/Stanford to beat the spread.

I've given up picking my own bets in soccer for a while, so might as well get into the AF betting a bit.

Can't wait for the NBA to come back, if it does, that is.

Eire-Dearg · 18-09-2011 1:47am

I have the Stanford/Oklahoma double pending from the other night. Could be quite the profitable weekend!

Peyton Manning · 18-09-2011 6:55am

Sa-weet! On my best hot streak at the moment, that's 11 college football tips in a row, 12 if Oklahoma State cover too which is looking likely

15 points bet on college ball this weekend, 45 back

padraig_f · 18-09-2011 12:26pm

My picks today:

6pm
Bucs +3 @ Vikings
Redskins -4 vs. Cardinals
Lions -8.5 vs. Chiefs

9pm
Cowboys -3 @ 49ers
Chargers +7 @ Pats

Upset special: Bengals ML @ Broncos (7/4)

Get in there.

Now to pick some winners in the NFL tonight! Great week so far.

Edit: One double, a treble and a single in the early games:

- Green Bay (-10) and Baltimore (-5.5) @ 3.56
- Steelers (-14) @ 1.90
- Smaller stake on Tampa Bay (ML), New Orleans (-6.5), Washigton (-3.5) @ 7.82

Eire-Dearg · 18-09-2011 5:56pm

Have also done Bills/Lions for interest, padded with Green Bay which - unless Cam Newton and the Panthers play like men possessed - should be a given.

Bills are horrendous. What was I thinking! Seems I put too much faith in Tampa Bay as well.

I avoided that one, thought it'd be a lot closer so I said no!

Washington were 2 points away from that treble coming off

Luckily my single on the Steelers kind of saved the day - after that Ravens stinker and GB not beating the spread.

I have another treble ongoing, Houston and Cincinnati have both come in - just waiting on Dallas now which has gone into overtime. Have them -1.5.... :eek:

kmart6 · 19-09-2011 12:47am

Yahoo! That was a close one!

Only 2/5 in the NFL today but I'm still up fairly nicely after that treble. Not to mention the wins in the college football.

Anyone have any thoughts in the late game? Philly looks good to beat the spread, with Vick coming back to his old stomping ground where he'll get cheered by both sets of fans

But Matt Ryan may well play like a man possessed.

2-1-3.

Bit unlucky today, Cowboys missed a 21 yd FG on their first drive, Romo went off injured but they still got a push, winning by 3.

Redskins won by 1 but didn't cover the spread.

Bengals covered the +4.5 spread, but lost the game by 2.

And the Chargers left a lot of points on the field (went for it on 4th & 1 and failed, 2 interceptions, 1 stupid fumble), should've at least got within 7.

Josh Freeman nicked one though and I doubled up with a ML bet at 3/2 so not complaining too much.

I'm on the Eagles but more because I find Vick fun to watch than because of any great insight. I watched the Bears today and they were awful, Cutler was beaten up, so that makes the Atlanta's defeat in Chicago last week look even worse.

Vick is always fun to watch

I've done LeSean McCoy to score first and Philly to win by 7-12 @ 34/1. If he does score first I'll be on edge for the rest of the match :pac:

For my serious bet, have done Philly -3.5 @ 2.15.
