I have a question for you guys when the Broncos scored their touchdown. Why did the refs check for a fumble as the player hit the ground? Isnt a clean catch in the inzone an automatic touchdown?
True story:
I was wavering on the OKC under today. Finally I decided I would bet it if it was still at 204 or higher.
I checked and saw two things:
1) It had fallen to 202
2) The game had started earlier than I remembered it would, so it was already going
Then there were just 38 points in the first quarter and 53 points when the game was at the 7 minute mark in the 2nd, so it looked like it was going way under. I was kicking myself.
Then there was a huge flurry of scoring in the 4th, and I think the total finished at something like 212.
I didn't see what you're talking about, but the answer to your question is no. If a player catches the ball and as part of the same motion falls to the ground, the player must maintain possession and control of the ball all the way through the process of falling to the ground and coming to rest. That includes while falling out of bounds and includes plays in the end zone, and simply catching the ball in the end zone is not an automatic touchdown under those circumstances, in the way that the play ends immediately and a TD is scored if a runner breaks the plane of the end zone.
Next weeks lines up
Detroit -3 over the Bears
KC -11 over 0-9 NYGiants
NBA:
ICE COLD A/C WARNING: I'm 0-3 since Saturday, and would have been 0-4 had I bet the OKC under like I meant to do (but didn't get to it on time).
But if you have faith in my 29-14 record thus far...
Sacramento +11
Also:
Golden State Under 226
Total is falling fast since it was announced that Steph Curry is doubtful
Druff--
why not the Timberwolves tonight??
I thought it was accepted as fact now that the Jazz suck, and its a relatively short line (-3.5)
-6.5 / -7 now. Good plan. -6.5 still prolly a bargain.
ACCEPTED:
11/12/2017 11:01:18 PM
DESCRIPTION:
MOBILE - FOOTBALL - NFL - 471 NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS -5 -111 FOR GAME
Olive Garden bet on Dolphins Panthers. Miami so dreadful but two wrongs make for bad beats.
Cam Newton is still a child and Panthers hit or miss but under the lights Cam prolly shows up
MOBILE - FOOTBALL - NFL - 276 CAROLINA PANTHERS -8½ -105 FOR GAME
The Jazz do suck, but weird things happen at that altitude, and I think the short line is one of those trap lines meant to draw bettors to Minnesota (which is what has happened).
I just decided to stay away from the whole thing. I couldn't even decide which side I thought was better.
Saw your last Tweet
"I told my Mom that a movie she likes is on Netflix and she asked me to record it for her"
Everyone playing ROKU stock today. Kinda funny tweet in this context. The guy who started this streaming outfit invented the DVR (but got beat by TIVO).
Hope you make as much bank on Druff's play today as the ROKU guy did.
I have a teaser that needs Car to win by 2.
Took Cavs/knicks O221.5
Lakers ML
-gonna try a new strategy. Bet bigger $$ and less volume.
Testing out a new NBA prop tout. Might, if I do say do, be good as me. We have done some play swaps before.
I'll keep the board posted.
Nothing like your team starting off up by 7 after 1Q, when you have +11, and then they melt down and are down 16 by mid 3rd quarter.
May need trash time to win this one with Sac.
Boy this team sucks.
What also sucks is that I was wavering between taking Atlanta +9 or Sac +11, then talked myself out of Atlanta and into the Sac bet.
Looks like Atlanta was the better choice.
I think I'm done with these Sac big underdog picks. The last one worked out, but this one got crushed mid-game, and they just suck so bad that it's just too hard to count on them not getting blown out.
Washington couldn't hit 3s, and Sac still got blown out. Starting 5 just killed the Kings.
I actually had this thought when hesitating to go with them today, but went with it anyway, and somehow convinced myself that Atlanta wasn't going to cover yet another fairly big dog line (which they've been very good at doing as of late).
Don't know what I was thinking. Guess this happens when you're cold, and you make all the wrong decisions.
I still like the GS under, which has now gone down to 223.5, so hopefully you guys got in early.
Sorry PLOP
Looks like rollinx420 was probably right about Minn. They are killing Utah early.
This had all the hallmarks of a trap line... deceptively low favorite line on the much better team, tons of pubilc money coming in on the favorite and the line actually getting slightly better for the favorite, as if Vegas wanted to encourage even more betting on them.
Normally I would totally have faded the Wolves here, but the Jazz are just so crappy lately that I had no faith they would keep it close. So I just stayed away.
Oh, and Atlanta just blew a double-digit lead and are now up by 1 with 15 minutes left in the game. If they lose by more than 9, I'll feel good.
Those who had Knicks +5 had a major scare, as they blew a yuuuuuuuuuuge lead and almost didn't cover, but thanks to two missed LBJ free throws with 5 seconds left, the Cavs only won by 3.
Atlanta tried very hard to give the game away at several points, but they ended up right back in it, and are surely going to cover. This one stings because I actually typed in Atlanta +9 on here, then erased it and replaced it with Sac +11.
So nice when these Monday and Thursday night games go over like clock work.
They are my worm hole this year.
This was a lightly bet game in Vegas.
I kept staring at this imbalance with the online books toward Miami. The move from 10 to 8 too. I have zero idea what they saw or thought
Books win
The action frightened me to bet an Olive Garden size not small well used car.
Gawd, Miami and Jay Cutler suck
I heard the shitty NFL might surpass the college handle next week.. maybe. Jerry Jones is right.
So I was seeing Portland slowly pull away from Denver, and it looked like Denver just was going to collapse.
I saw the live bet line go to 4.5 -110 on Bovada which looked great, I bet it, and of course the shady Bovada delay where they only give you the bet if it either stays the same or the line gets better, but if it gets worse they reject it. So it got rejected.
Tried again a few minutes later with 4.5 -120, and again, same delay/rejection.
Gave up.
Now Denver down by 14.
SFSTANDARD
I should have been on Betonline. They aren't as bad with the delay scam.
Yeah I think the team is looking really good.
Lakers won't contend this year but at least they don't look like a failteam. Kinda look .500-ish, maybe a bit worse. But yes, looks like it will be awhile until they really contend, unless they make some big free agent signing in the coming years.
If their Deng/Mosgov disaster recently is any indication, this front office isn't going to do anything right for awhile.
Druff,
I would be careful with all the Unders. You were running hot for a while with some weird low scoring 4th Qs and looks like that isn't happening right now.
Also, I don't know if this is true, but it seems scoring has been way up for the most part the last week or so. I think teams have started to get used to their new pieces and setting rotations, and basically playing better.
Even games featuring low scoring teams like Utah, Chicago and Sacramento seem to be easily going into the 200s lately.
I bet Timberwolves U49 wins on the advice of Simmons/House. Not looking like it is going to be a winner.
I also bet Utah over (I think 42). I think the Gobert (and lesser extent Exum in preseason) injury is going to be a big problem with this one.
Went 1-1 on my posted plays.
I actually bet 2nd half of the Cleveland game O108. It looked like it had no chance until Korver started going crazy, and then it went over easily. Too bad Knicks couldn't get that last rebound and have a chance for OT, so game could go over too.
GS under easily came in, breaking my 4 game losing streak.
Still pissed about the Portland live bet BS.
30-15 overall, but I've cooled off a bit since my 13-2 start, going 17-13 after that.
Use all that as revenge and take their money by crushing them at NBA, trust me I know all about their payout issues, but that was back when you could only cashout by getting a check and the max was $2500 and it took like 2-3 months to come. It was ridiculous to say the least but now you can get bitcoin withdrawals with a max of 5k, not exactly optimal but good enough to want to still play there and win money in their sportsbook, they also have the best deposit bonuses of anywhere that i know of. No rollover, its basically just extra money that they give you to bet with.
Tuesday:
Dallas Mavericks +6.5
Philly -3 -125 looks like the trap line of the week.
Sean lee is hurt, Tyrone (left tackle) is hurt, dez is hurt, Williams (WR) is hurt.
On paper this looks like a easy Philly beatdown of Dallas. Yet the books are keeping it at 3 with extra juice. Just begging everyone to take philly.
Pretty sure that trade was the last front office. Also nothing wrong with deng (although he is still overpayed, but a lot of players were overplayed that summer). They just want to develop the young guys and Decided he is a guy they are going to use in a trade down the line for salary matching.
NBA:
Brooklyn Under 208.5
Also Brooklyn +7 -115
Also Dallas Under 200
