I am. Had I been in Vegas, I definitely would have made the parlay bet. I thought that when I posted it.

In a parlay...

In a parlay...

All 8 games combined in a parlay using the $800 that was bet would have given $88,705.

srs big cry

 

[ContactBuzz]

Do your bets $80k, bro?

 

[LegendaryGT]

Nobody ranked 8th?

Unrelated but this seems like a decent place to post. For anyone looking for a good GT bet, 5dimes has a Q2 (second quarter only) line of GT -6.5.

I think in most situations we should be favored to beat Tulane by a TD in any given quarter, and considering there is little chance of starters being pulled by then, I'm not sure why the line is slotted under 7 (for reference the Q1 line is 7.5, which is a lot tougher because Tulane likely gets 1st possession).

Other current lines on the same book are GT -19.5 1H and -30.5 game.

Just a thought. We'll probably go retarded in the second quarter now. Take it or leave it.

hope you bet the house! would have banked

$100 LSU -4.5
$100 Missouri -11
$100 Oregon State +16.5
$100 Maryland -7.5

Why did my balance go from 691 to 291?

Did any of those cover?

 

[TechinItEasy]

Did any of those cover?

$100 Missouri -11
$100 Oregon State +16.5
$100 Maryland -7.5

Missouri by 31
OSU by 19
Maryland by 29

I feel like I'm missing something.

a minus in front of the number means that team is favored, i.e. LSU -4.5 means they are favored by 4.5 points.

I think you got it backwards....

I think you're missing...everything actually.

Missouri won by 7. You bet on them to win if you subtracted 11 points from their score. Therefore you lost the bet

Oregon State lost by 28. You bet on them to win if you added 16.5 points to their score. Therefore you lost the bet.

Maryland lost. You bet on Maryland to win if you subtracted 7.5 points from their score. Therefore you lost the bet.

You are.

Missouri won by 7, therefore they did not cover (favored by 11).

OSU lost by 28, therefore they did not cover (16.5 point underdogs).

Maryland lost by 21, therefore they did not cover (favored by 7.5).
