Non-MMA Sports Betting Discussion - October 2016

Shit wont let me play in Idaho anymore for some reason.

they tried pulling that here in Ny but think it got overturned or something so I hope it stays that way. They should just let all of this stuff be legal as far as I'm concerned. I can drive 30mins to an Indian Casino and waste a grand playing craps and roulette but can't bet on the Cowboys or play fantasy? fuck that noise.

Rockets may be the team to fade again this season. Lose to the Lakers lmfao

Their season win total is like 40, books already have them undervalued

Adults telling other adults what they can and can't do. What's so weird about that?

Such horseshit.

TNF:
Same drill as always for me on Thursday take the more experienced QB/ head coach combo.
Besides maybe one this year I think they all won. So I'm probably gonna lose.
Jags +3.5 and ML +155 small.

Gun to my head I'd say it goes under but no way am I gonna bet it.



EDIT:
Last 4 weeks "they've" won straight up and covered I believe

Andy Dalton > Tannehil
Carson Palmer > Gabbert
Phillip Rivers > Siemian
Rodgers > Hoyer/ Barkley

Week 1-3:
Week 1: not a short turnaround.
Week 2: About tie. One season each with new team/ coach I believe.
Week 3: About tie. No brady and Osweiler is new to the texans. Brissett is also a rookie.

That's way too much with the strength of the west IMO.

Could be. They still have a nice offense so they'll cover spreads if they're dogs

I'm a bit disappointed I'm not the one to put long season bets on unless it's in the +1000 but I really feel Westbrook MVP/MPS.

Someone like Aldridge could be MVP but we all know it's about points.

I have one on Kawhi. That's it and pretty small

Yea kawhi seems to have a patch where he doesn't play to his potential, I legit think he could be the best player in the game.

Most well rounded IMO! Would love to see him get it.

Any bets today?

I'm actually going against the Thursday night trend and playing the o43.5. I think Titans will be able to run on Jags and Jags will be able to throw on Titans.

 

[mkess101]

Good lord Bortles is just terrible. Huge regression from last year. Of course last year a lot of his stats were from throwing a lot when they were behind, but at least there was some rhythm and chemistry with the receivers. It's the same guys out there and they look totally lost.

i'm playing the cardinals at + odds on sunday. think carolina have major problems on d and the cards are still capable of upping their game another level. interestingly the cardinals d looks better this year, but their o hasn't been clicking - i think it's only a matter of time before they start blowing teams out. i have no idea how the seahawks game was a draw, it easily could have been cardinals winning by 20 or more.

Ah sorry didn't see this. I was very small on the Titans bc Bradley's about to get fired over the long weekend. Wasn't confident

Cards just played 5 quarters against a VERY physical defense while Carolina spent the week getting healthy and resting. I can't knock a bet on the Cards but I personally think this is a 100% trap line

I like the guy (from the interviews I've seen and read) but Khan should honestly walk down to the locker room and fire him at halftime for that performance. Rarely do teams in the NFL look like they aren't even trying, but it sure looks like the Jags D has given up.

And like I said, the offense has completely regressed. What was an explosive group is now pathetic and Bortles looks like a deer in headlights. He never had a perfect throwing motion but all of a sudden he looks like Tebow with his windup. They are a trainwreck.

 

[mkess101]

Over hits, nice. At least I get rewarded for watching this awful game LOL.

 

[mkess101]

And both my Bortles props hit despite him looking absolutely horrible tonight. So bad that they got way behind and Tenn goes to prevent D early and I get the garbage stats.

I'll still take the $ LOL.

NFL Week 8

I'm gonna post a bit earlier in the week. I find that I talk myself out of good bets and overthink things. I replaced two winners with two losers by doing this last week (more in previous weeks, too)

Carolina Panthers -2.5
New Orleans Saints +3
San Diego Chargers +5
New England Patriots -6.5

Still debating on the last game. Will post when I find something worth betting

Wish I had waited on the Patriots game, we can get them at a cheaper price now but it's not going through a key number or anything so I'm not too upset. My final play for the weekend is Atlanta Falcons -2.5. I actually like the Lions this week as well in case anyone wants a lean on that game

NBA:

Utah Jazz -9.5 for 1.1u

Okay, the Lakers beat the Rockets in a high scoring shoot out on Wednesday. Good for them. This team is still very flawed both offensively and especially defensively. Now they're going up against a Utah Jazz team that takes pride in the defense that they play. While the Jazz arent offensive juggernauts, the Lakers defense and, more importantly, the pace that they play at will allow the Jazz to light up the score board. I'm expecting a score along the lines of 100-80 in this game.

I'm not willing to lay 9.5 with the Jazz (if I was gonna bet that line one way or the other I'd lay the pts, but the spread seems about right to me) but I do like the u201.5 a lot here. Utah plays gritty D esp at home, you're spot on there. They can stuggle offensively at times though. I have 2u on the under.

 

[mkess101]

Bet the u8.5 for 2.5u in tonight's WS game, didn't understand that line with Hendricks having been so good for the Cubs. Middle of 3rd and still 0-0 so just took o5.5 for 1.5u. Let's middle this bitch!
