If Philly settles for a fg to go down by 7........the books would have gotten killed. As that was a possibility I was trying to think if anyone would have lost..........all the NE big bettors would have had them at -6.5 whether they bought 1/2 or bet early.........all the big Philly bettors would have pushed or won.........all the book woulds have had to of taken a bath if NE would have won by 7.......

I HAD 7.7 WITH 3 DIFF. LOCALS, ALL SAID THEY WERE BURIED WITH NE -7 AND OVER 47.5

THE PUBLIC SQUARES LOSE AGAIN


I cant see even why a $100 bettore would not lay 120-100 to get NE at -6.5?????

I agree. I always buy 1/2 pt on ALL football wagers when its at +/- 3 and +/- 7.

I only had $10 on Eagles and I bet them +7.5 -120. So I had $12 to win $10 instead of $11 to win $10. I don't see a big difference. I was very very close to pulling the trigger and betting 1k on Eagles and I would have laid $200 juice to get +7.5 because I want to be a WINNER if Eagles lose by 7pts. What if Eagles kicked a FG instead of TD at the end? That $100 extra won me $1000.

But I will buy pts even when I bet $1000's. Whats another 10% vig when it means I win instead of pushing. Or maybe even pushing instead of losing.

I rather lose another $100 on a $1000 wager if it means I have chance to win on a key # or push on a key # instead of losing. For me, key #'s are 3 and 7. Sometimes I will buy +9.5 to 10 or -10.5 to -10.

I know statistically it prob. doesn't benefit you in the long run but me personally I am not a grind it out handicapper. I pick very few games and I pound them. I play $5-$100 on regular wagers.

All in all, I don't really care about losing that extra 10% juice.

Scott,
I pointed out that it was not a bash or cut in my thread, just an observation like you are so privledged to give.......................

Just my two cents, dont get all bent out of shape........... :rolleyes:

By the way I took a futures bet on your Trojans next year :)
But I have to be honest, they were not the glow in the dark ones :scared :mj07:

GL this year,
Franky :)

I just think an extra 10% is not that big of a deal if I lose.........now I am not saying you can lay 10% extra on every bet........but on big games like playoff games, super bowls etc where the line is 7 I just dont mind the extra 10%..........now buying off of 3 means I have to pay like 1.30 for 100 so sometimes I wont do that.......like today if I would have taken NE or Philly I would have bought down........
