Just the opposite of a trap
 
Watch the line on the Bears go as high as -16.5 or -17 by game time, -11 is a joke.

Rookie QB or Hall Of Fame QB is gonna struggle against the Mosters of the Midway v06.


Vegas will be backpeddling on this one till game time.

I was just about to make a post about tonight's game.

I want to bet on this, but I'm having Mansion issues... Pages not found within their site type of stuff. Annoying.

MAYHEM45 10-16-06 03:34 PM

So getting -11.5 on this last nite was a good idea then?

Penguinfan 10-16-06 03:35 PM

Cool, what are your thoughts?

Penguinfan 10-16-06 03:38 PM

This will be decided by how many points Chicago wants to win by, over early if they want it to be.

Best thing that can happen when you are laying double digits is the dog to score first believe it or not, take all the complacency out of the big favorite. When a big fav gets on a roll it usually rolls all game.

Talking Poker 10-16-06 03:41 PM

Any double digit spread is a lot of points (See TN vs Indy last week), but I can not fathom how Arizona is going to stay close in this game. Even if they get one EXTRA lucky score (from a turnover or some other goofy play), I still think the Bears are going to stomp them. Unless the Bears D collapses (and we all know that's not going to happen), this game won't be close.

31-10 Bears.

Talking Poker 10-16-06 03:43 PM

I almost bet this yesterday, but figured there was no hurry... and now I can't there there in stupid Mansion.

Is anyone able to access this bet on Mansion? I want to make sure it's not just me.

Reel Deal 10-16-06 03:47 PM

Any reason why you would choose Mansion over say Bodog?

MAYHEM45 10-16-06 03:56 PM

Bad news TP.


Talking Poker 10-16-06 04:08 PM

I've done 90%+ of my betting this football season at Mansion. Why? Because they basically handed me (and a bunch of you guys) $1000 for that Pittsburg game to start off the season. I like the site, and I appreciated that, so I had no problem giving them some action.

Given that they do't WANT my action any more, fine. I just cashed out my entire balance and am done with the site.

So, I'll either give Bodog a shot or stick with good old Intertops.

Penguinfan 10-16-06 04:12 PM

Please, please, please try BetJamaica, you won't be sorry. Instant cash in and instant cash out. If you do try them please let me know as I would like to get the referral for a friend of mine.

Talking Poker 10-16-06 04:16 PM

Eh... maybe one of these days.

I just checked the lines at Bodog (-14) and Intertops (-12.5) and took the Bears at Intertops.

Penguinfan 10-16-06 04:19 PM

Your a good shopper! Thats actually a big 1.5 points the way I see it, if this game lands on 13 (Key Number), well you know........


Edit to add: I don't see how this line doesn't hit 16 before kickoff

Talking Poker 10-16-06 04:30 PM

OK, I just opened an account with BetJamaica and they had the line at -12.5 too, so I tossed some money in there and made another bet.

GO BEARS!

BTW - I just noticed the over under on this game is 41. Pretty cool, considering I predicted a 31-10 win by the bears.

I actually hope it ends up being more like 35 to 15, with Muhammed scoring 2-3 TDs and with Rakers kicking 5 FGs. I have both of them on my fantasy team. :)

eejit101 10-16-06 04:31 PM

hahaha.

Noone ever listens to me

instant cashouts, and the BEARS ARE AT -11


this site has the BEST lines ever

GeoffM 10-16-06 04:42 PM

I just took the Bears at -12.5 at Canbet, how do you figure?

Talking Poker 10-16-06 05:05 PM

LOL. That's funny.

Also, regarding one site having the "best lines," isn't that only true if everyone is betting on the same side of a game? Otherwise, wouldn't they also have the WORST LINES for the other side???

eejit101 10-16-06 07:25 PM

i figure cos i got them at -11.5 5 mins before i posted that.


And yeah, TP, you make a point, but its wrong, Say you like the cards to keep em under 16, you take it at under16 on bodog, OR you take the bears at over 11.5, same difference

Talking Poker 10-16-06 11:21 PM

So, if Site A has a line at 11.5 and site B has it at 16, what makes Site A's line "the best" :confused: If I want the other side, Site's line would be "the best," would it not?

The point is, you should shop around. But to say that one site has "the best lines" is stupid, unless they are consistently 3 points off for all home teams or something like that, which is of course impossible.

Talking Poker 10-16-06 11:22 PM

BTW - tonight's game sucks.

omahilo 10-16-06 11:57 PM

Arizona made Vegas alot of money today....

I think the Bucs made vegas even more money yesterday tho.

A very good week for vegas to say the least.
