    I really am going to rake leaves for an hour and clear my head. I actually like raking leaves.

    I’ll look in an hour. I remember liming Wash in regulation.


    Kids hockey. Some of my best memories. I loved hanging out with most hockey parents in the stands too. Enjoy.


    If Biden could solve the global warming thing so we could build rinks like 10 years ago he’d have my vote.

    Liberty has lots and lots of money but talent? Makes no sense to me. Punish Verm. It’s what Jesus would have wanted.
    Actually I took Ole Miss 1st half -6. Read some ESPN piece that Kiffin would want to put it on Hugh Freeze early. Smooth sailing.

    Most of the games I bet have already happened or ongoing. My apologies. I had to ref 2 soccer games this morning, and then my own son's game. Just got on computer for first time. Long day. I do have a big bet on Mich St -2.5, and it is going about as well as expected (losing 21-14 at half). I also have Over in the Navy game. Navy is in the middle of a 10 minute drive, which would be good for them if game were tied, but they are down 2 TDs, so probably not ideal to run out the clock down 2 TDs.

    Off the top of my head of the games that haven't started yet I have:

    Under in Alabama game
    Old Dominion -3
    UTSA -11.5
    Hawaii +7

    Druff,

    We going back to the well with Portland -5.5 again against LOLakers??

    Damn that line is high. I guess books are tired of giving out free money to Lakers faders.

    Fix is in in the Purdue game. Refs just making up personal foul penalties against Mich St. left and right.

    I like Carolina @ 6pm. I like the over 6 too but I’m gonna watch the beginning and see if I can catch a better number live.

    Caught over 5½ -110 2 minutes in. Lol, prolly win that in 1st period but canes getting smoked 4-0

    How can I not take VGK @ plus money vs the hapless Habs. Autobet. This is 99 vs AJ

    I also took Cal not realizing half the team was out with Covid. Knowing LOL Berkely probably none of the players actually have Covid. They were probably just in the same room with someone who didnt even have Covid and was triple vaxxed but wasn't wearing a mask, so they are in protocols.

    Amen. Barely worth it to build a home rink up here in the great white north.....maybe get 3 weeks of good ice?

    Watching Oregon diarrhea all over the bed, which isn’t surprising at all as I bet in them. But wash is surprising is that RGIII is the color commentator and he is really good. He Definitely has a long career ahead of him doing this if he wants it.

    RG III is a very good commentator. He is a Heisman winner. Yes, he had a marginal NFL career, but he blew out a ACL for the second time in less than 5 years, so he simply could not recover. He probably is the future of College Game Day, the current production has gone stale. Or he could go the the SEC Network, because their crew is awful.

    LOL. I have Oregon -7. They are up 8 and have first and goal at the 5 with 2 minutes left. So they score here and go up 15, and at worse Washington gets a backdoor 8 points and I push. Nope. The refs call 2 very tacky tack personal fouls against Oregon and now all of a sudden they are punting, and they have to stop Washington from going the field. I give them about 30% chance of holding here. In this spot most of the time against me the team scores the TD but misses the 2 point conversion, so the team I am on wins the game but doesn't cover.

    Edit: WTF. Washington decides to punt on 4th down (in a spot where teams go for it 99% of the time, if they held the would get the ball back deep in their own territory with no timeouts and like 30 seconds on the clock) and snaps it through the end zone for the safety. Washington could still cover, but they pretty much lost all chance to win the game. LOL again, the Washington kicker kicked it out of bounds kicking from his own 15 (I guess it was on onside kick attempt?), so now Oregon gets it at Washington 30.

    Took Lakers +5.5. I mean Indiana with half their team injured covered this number. Portland is on a back to back, and even this pathetic laker team should be able to keep it close enough.

    Edit: I was watching football and didn't realize Lakers were already down 16 points early in 2nd Q when I was making this post. Talk about not aging well.

    Why not MNF?

    Speaking of MNF, Booger McFarland wasn't great there, but he is actually pretty decent doing CFB game recap stuff.

    I thought we went over this earlier.

    It’s not even about the money. You need to take a moral stand. It’s about right and wrong.

    You may live in LA but you can rise above that as a person and a gambler.

    Bets for Nov 1 -Nov 7(Week 14)

    Settled

    Portugal Majors 1K Sam Horsfield to win +3000, $500 Horsfield 1st Round Leader (L-$1500)

    LET Saudi - L Ko 2K +400 (W +$8,000)

    Start $50,000 Remaining $71,500 Current Week $+6,500 Last Week $-1,000

    Total Win/Loss +$21,500

    ——-

    Got the money back from all the L Ko close calls and a few extra bucks. Horsfield has been the money suck. He showed some promise this week but ultimately will come up short. Routing against Pieters because he is another guy I have been tracking and would suck to see him win.

    Well, they did cover +15.5. So I was close. I think I am 5-0 fading the lakers this year, and 0-2 taking them... Probably something there.

    I also thought I bet UTSA -13.5, and went to bed thinking I had that $$ in the account as they were up very big, and woke up to check the account and discovered I never even made a bet. Hate when that happens. I haven't kept track, but I am pretty confident that the vast majority of the time I bet a game twice or forget to bet a game (both of which happens more often than I would like) it costs me money. Never seems to go the other way.

    Faded KC again. Was looking dicey for most of the game but they found a way to not cover, like they always do.

    Rams/Titans O54.

    Made this bet last Sunday before the Henry news and the Vonn news. Oops. Hopefully it hits anyways.
