paul carruthers Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I have a question for jabe: if the line moves during the week does that mean I have to change my wager because the line on the Packers/Bengals game went up to 3 and now I'm not so sure?

The lines move up til game time. That is why I put my bet in early while the Bills were getting 2 1/2 rather than 2, where it now stands. When you put the wager in, its whatever the line is at that time. You are locked in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More money was flowing to Green bay so Vegas raises the spread. They want roughly the same amount bet on each team. Their profit comes from taking around 10%(?) from the winners.I may go with this game and take Green Bay as well, even with the revised spread.

Same here...not seeing much that I like. Those 19.5 and 15 point spreads scare me. Plus, I usually like to find good deals in home underdogs but there are only two this week and none look appealing.

Strider Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 (edited) 1250 Seattle -18.5 vs. Jacksonville (5dimes.com) 400 Seattle What the hell...go for the gusto. All the other games I couldn't be sure which team was going to win, let alone figure out who would cover or not. At least I'm 100% certain Seattle will beat Jacksonville, and it'll be fun to root for a blowout.

jabe Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 Everyone get their bets in? And remember, even if you've never participated in this contest, it's not to late to get in on today's late games or Monday night. C'mon Das, jb126, Walter, Anjin-san, ebk, and the rest.

paul carruthers Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Another week, another 200 points down the toilet. Thank goodness I don't bet actual green on these games... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Wow! Seattle covered easily! I have a feeling Jacksonville might be double-digit underdogs the rest of the season. 1650 Dallas -1 @ San Diego (Las Vegas Hilton) 650 Dallas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul carruthers Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I think you are going down on this one. Maybe, but you have to remember who the Bucs are & they are playing a rookie at QB so I feel good about Arizona's chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 ^^^ Putting your trust in Arizona is foolish. Especially on the road across three time zones. Surprised you couldn't find a nore amenable game...like the one jabe took... 1100 Seattle-2Houston 300/Seattle That's a pretty good line...only laying two points. I'm pretty sure the spread was higher at the beginning of the week, which is why I stayed away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
