Hey, It's me!
Bears ML????
Sounds like a great idea!!!
Well, I was waiting for the Bovada line to improve on the two unders, and it never did.
Then an emergency came up, and I wasn't even able to decide whether I still wanted those lines before game time.
Oh well. Now I hope they lose.
Only thing I bet was Boston -5. Currently up 23-20.
Every bet I play that I post here loses the past week so I figure I am due to hit.
Bears/Saints over 53.5 half unit
Screw it

Looks like I am going to win the two unders. I really liked them, too. I stalled because I didn't like the Bovada line, but was going to do it anyway even if it didn't get better. Then something came up and I couldn't place them.
Then something ELSE came up and I wasn't able to bet Lakers -6 2nd half, and that is looking good too.
I hope you all picked NO tonight. Like I said, its a shitshow here in Chicago. Massive internal Turmoil.
Cutler being Cutler.
NO by 21 tonight
BTW, Bovada can suck my ass. I tried a deposit, it was supposedly "declined", but somehow they have the money anyway...even though they deny it.
I would be very cautious if you are using netspend to deposit onto bovada.
I will be making a thread about this soon, with screenshots etc.
OBV reverse pick. 0-0 after the first quarter.Quote:

So I'm going to go 1-0 instead of 4-0.
I am so pissed right now.
Edit: Oh wow, looks like Lakers/Pacers under shit the bed in the final minute. Good. So I would have gone 3-1. Still annoying.
Anyway, my inability to place bets aside, I'm really liking this hafltime reverse bet strategy.
So far I've had 3 I actually bet, and one more I wanted to bet (the one day).
Of those three, two won easily, one lost fairly close, and the one I didn't bet (Lakers/Ind) won easily. So that's 3-1, and all three of those wins weren't close.
I bet 3 "blowout" type games (where I bet on the team being blown out at halftime).
I also bet a "better team losing at halftime" one, and that easily won.
So to recap, here's the halftime bets I suggest:
- Bet on the team getting blown out (20 or more) at halftime, especially if you are only giving up a few points
- Bet on the better team down at halftime, especially if they're at home. For example, Washington was down 5 to Utah, in Washington. I bet Was -9 there, and it won pretty easily. I knew Washington was going to come back and win because they were the MUCH better team (and at home), and they only had to win by 4 for me to tie the bet. It is common that the lesser team "hangs" with the better one for a half, before collapsing in the 3rd.

I thought I saw this story on 60 Minutes but can't find it.
edit: Found it. Start 2:30

You will never watch Sacramento the same way again....
If you don't mind listening to a nerd other than Druff talk about basketball, the following is a great story.
6:30 min. into video.

Boy I regret not being able to do that Boston under, especially.
Philly scored under 80 in 3 of their past 6 games, and here the line was 205.5!
Final score: 192 points
Also loved the bet I did make, Boston -5. They won by 18 and it wasn't close starting from the 2nd quarter.

If Jay Cutler really wanted to do something noble/improve his image at this point, he should just donate a large percentage of that ridiculous contract that he clearly doesn't deserve, to the less fortunate.
if you have Tunein radio, am670 the score, chicago sports radio, is a meltdown for the ages.
I can imagine, best was when they got the ball back with like 4 min to go down 2 scores and they call 2 drawsQuote:

$15-20 to park (two people per car)
Maybe $15 per person for food/drink (low ball), maybe $5-10 avg per person for apparel.
If there isnt someone fired by Wednesday, this team will not make it until next Monday. People might be shot on the field.
Nice call earlier BTWQuote:
