Anyone bet on sports also?

don't bet on your team that's your mistake, too many emotions involved

i almost never bet on the pats. just way too much emotion involved. of course, i teased them this week to +3 at pitt, but it doesnt look like that is going to turn out well.

solid week, up another 2 units, minus the juice from the indy-philly tease....that green bay game was my lock when it was announced taylor was out for the packers. About 5 of my buddies regularly put action down, and we always differ and usually never all pick the same game...except for this game. Each of us had 2 units on the Pack....and i got a feeling our book took a huge beating on that game.

Side note...god damn colts...one late touchdown loses 2 units....chargers came through like expected, as did the bengals and eagles. Glad i layed off the vikes, i wont bet on them ever they fuck me whatever way i go with them, and the lions. Funny thing about the bengals, i seem to have a connection with them, because i am 4-0 in wagers involving them, either to cover or lose.

Monday night game....if the line moves up to Miami +7.5 (it is at 7 right now), I'm gonna jump on the Fins. Monday night underdogs have an incredible tendancy to win outright...and this number would be enough to jump on. If it stays at 7, im layin off.

I feel the same way as you eddo...the only game all year ive touched with the pats was the buffalo game, teased the pats with the over for a W...the over (teased down) went over in the 1st half of that game which was nice.

By the way, is it just me, or was that loss today a whole lot easier to take after the Sox big win....i guess the sports gods thought we've been on too much of a roll city wise, and figured to give someone else some light today....

EAGLES: Only undefeated team in the league!

Next week is at Pittsburgh, and the spread will probably put them favorites by maybe 3 or 5 pts. Anyone like the Eag's here?

Line opened at 1.5, would not bet against Pittsburgh right now, Roethlisberger is dangerous and doesn't know he should be overwhelmed right now. Having said that, I posted earlier in this thread that Philly is the kind of team to blow out Pittsburgh, so I guess I just have to watch this one (who am I kidding).

roethlisberger is definatly playing out of his mind right now, IMO he has potential to be another payton.

eddo31 · #8 11-01-04, 10:16 PM

i dont see him as a peyton at all. i think he has much better mobility, and while i dont think that he will be a similar quarterback as peyotn, he defintely has the potential to be a comparable one. he has looked absolutely unbelieveable all year. i cant believe that two qb's went before him in the draft. the giants and chargers cant be feeling too good about themselves right now.

yeah, that loss was very easy to take after the sox win. everyone knew that they were going to lose sometime, and now was as good as any, i guess. its tough that they lost it by playing absolutely awful football in the first quarter, and that they really seem to be hurt by injuries right now, but they will bounce back.

i dont care though. the sox just won it all. i can put away my cynicism for a while now.
