I feel if you like UCLA +16 you should just bet O71. USC is one of the best rushing teams in the country and UCLA is dead last in rushing defense, and towards the bottom in total defense.

USC is gonna score in the 40s, so for UCLA to cover they are going to have to score in the 30s and game will go over. However, USC could also possibly win 56-24, so betting the over gives you more ways to win if you like UCLA.

interesting take...guess if USC wipes the floor with 'em it won't matter if you took the over or UCLA, youre fucked either way...

Stanford steve did say he's gotta feeling this will comedown to ava devine-ing it in the last couple of minutes...

the OREST game makes me want to throw up in my mouth, but will give their interim guy this; dude's got some energy

I disagree. There are scenarios where USC wins big and the over hits. I just don't see many scenarios where UCLA covers AND the game goes under.

Another:

Clippers +6

[Charham]

NBA:
Miami Under 208 -115
Detroit Under 209.5 -105

Perhaps more later.

ok on them! Gl to us.

More NFL Fail.

You don’t have to read the article. Gimme some news the viewers can use. Weather, fantasy and betting. Think Jimmy the Greek or Musberger. Instead you get 11 HOF players on a desk acting like goofs. Useless shite.

This is in large part Goodell and the anti gambling thing which is reality distortion. If Goodell gets resigned you can stick a fork in this league.

What’s causing the downturn in NFL pregame show viewership?

FYI, so far the sharp money (regarding my bets) has gone on the Detroit under.

The Miami under was neither sharp nor square money, and the Clippers was once sharp money, but now it's neither sharp nor square.

Clippers are now +6.5, but that also means Vegas doesn't have all that much faith in them, so take that as it goes.

makes me wonder how good SVPs ratings are for SC...I mean the guy doesn't give any fucks about having gambling being part of his show...he does the 'winners' on Thursday and 'bad beats' on tuesday and then ever so often he'll sprinkle a 'bad beats' segment throughout the week...love how all these leagues (except for the NBA where silver seems to actually know that, yeah people fire on this shit) try to distance themselves from gambling when that's what's driving the vast majority of their viewership...

[GambleBotsChafedPenis]

just started to read this, but cant believe it's not going to be a great article...don van natta's stuff is usually pretty fucking great...

my favorite part of the article so far:

"I'm gonna come after you with everything I have," Jones said. Then he mentioned Deflategate. "If you think Bob Kraft came after you hard, Bob Kraft is a pussy compared to what I'm going to do."

It’s long but my enjoyment of this miserable situation is maximized with every additional sentence. I wished it would never end.

Goodell has been there too long. He has too much collective baggage. The NFL’s place in a changing world requires a fresh face.

I could live without the NFL. I already do for the most part. However, as much fun as college football is there is a ticking bomb over there too. Oliver Luck ain’t gonna be available forever. Lotsa luck NCAA.

yeah after goddell has fucked up so much with the domestic violence shit, it probably is...but like the article mentioned there's really no viable successor and the last thing they want to do is have a fresh face in there for those labor talks that are coming up in 2021 (think that's the year)...owners sure as shit don't want to give up any of the pie that they have managed to clawback from the players in the last set of talks...think it's gonna get really ugly when these negotiations take place...both sides absolutely hate each other...if I could bet there being missed games or replacement players at some time during 2021 i'd take that bet at a decent enough price...

as far as the NCAA goes, you're 100% right...billion dollar TV deals, 8 figure college football coaching deals, FBI investigations...where there's money there's eventually gonna be somebody who tries to get some of that money for the players...obviously the players tried and failed, but all it takes is somebody with money to get behind their cause and it could have people in indy shaking...

Clippers just shot off a late-2nd 10-point lead, and are tied at halftime.

Detroit under got off to a terrible start and I almost wrote it off by the early 2nd, but now it's right on the cusp regarding covering (on pace for 208.5 according to Bovada). Indiana is catching up though so I'm probably losing this one, due to the fouling nonsense at the end.

Miami under pick was



and will win barring some 2OT or some nonsense like that.

Regarding the "Chicago auto-bet" I talked about and didn't do, it's looking like the under will lose and fading them will win, but it's still kinda early.

[Sanlmar]

Share a little bit of a hate bet with you.

Lakers/Suns

MOBILE - BASKETBALL - NBA - 721 PHOENIX SUNS +7½ -111 FOR GAME

This will appear counter intuitive after Suns performance yesterday. We can delve into the awfulness of the Lakers if you like but it really shouldn’t be necessary. There is a hierarchy of bad and it is clear where the Lakers fall.

Basically, I just really need the money.

[Tellafriend]

Chappie - where you been lately?

[GambleBotsChafedPenis]

nice under on DET-IND...that was a fucking sweat...glad they didn't foul down 7 with 19 to go...

Yeah I thought I was getting fucked there.

Honestly I deserved this after the screw job I got the other day with the under where they fouled 9 down with 7 seconds left.

[Dan Druff]

Also my decision to avoid Chicago under + fade looking pretty good so far.

Honestly kinda wanted to take Dallas today but they are so bad and Minn is so good that I couldn't bring myself to do it. Sharp $ loved that side though.

ended up hopping on at half, got a little better line with CHAR -4.5

[Dan Druff]

Shout out to what a trainwreck the Cavs are.

Yet every day the public lavishes $ on the books backing them.

[Dan Druff]

Lebron must read this site, or have the Pentagon read it for him.

Cavs run off 6 straight right as I post that.

This better not OT & fuck me.

[Dan Druff]

Damnit 105-105 with 47 secs

I don't care who wins, but please someone just win this in regulation.

[Tellafriend]

MTST vs WKU Over anything is obviously a lock

Uh-oh
