    TRAP GAME ?

    Yanno: "I would also admit that you know a whole lot more than I do." Chas: "It's clear to me at least, that you know what you're talking about." There's a LOT I don't know about. I know a little about odds making and sports books, because, been there/done that, for a lot of years.

    TRAP GAME ?

    Jord20: "I think the original poster is referring to the "sandwich spot" or "look-ahead game" and not so much the number." Yes, that's what I thought also, it referred to the look ahead spot, not the numbers/game line trap. That's why I said, "I think what they're trying to say is Cincy could...

    TRAP GAME ?

    You're welcome, glad to help. The "TRAP!" game people are still out there, I see them from time to time but I don't try to explain it to them because as they say, "There are none so blind as those who are not willing to see." The "Trap" myth is similar to the "Vegas Fixes Games" myth, and the...

    TRAP GAME ?

    When I see "Trap" posts I don't usually participate, but since there's a ? in your thread title, I take it you're asking about it, so I'll reply. Regarding the betting odds, there is no such thing as a trap game. Many people will argue that there is, but it's very likely that none of them has...

    College Football buys for 2020

    New Play: Overs in FAU/FIU, APP St/Geo St, Unders in S. Alabama/La Laf, Louisville/Virg, N'West/Purdue, SMU/Tulsa Tonight's FAU/FIU fits the New Play (13-8 on Overs.) And it hits that "ideal spot" I mentioned a couple of times, most recently on Tuesday, re: the Akron/Ohio game. That game was...

    College Football buys for 2020

    Thanks Coach and Bigs for dropping by, much appreciated. Yes, a nice W last night, almost talked myself off of it due to conflicting numbers (specifically the situation that said "games with only one qualifier has a record of 4-11 on Unders") but I learned from a mistake I made when I ventured...

    NFL Buys for 2020

    I guess it's time to put a little faith into my college-system-converted-to-the-NFL. With the W on the Over in NE/NYJ last night, Play #1 is now 16-6; 7-2 Ov, 9-4 Un. I haven't used them much because it's new, and I talked myself off of last night's game despite the 6-2 record. I'm a numbers...

    Movies I have watched since being quarantined

    I'll post a recommendation for a movie I watched, probably for the third or fourth time. I'm not sure if anyone will agree, but I'll make a case for watching Doc Hollywood. Am I jumping up and down, saying, "You've GOT to see this!" Nope. Is it a classic? Nope. Is it an cult...

    College Football buys for 2020

    Recap: 3-2-1. (F me for that Push on S Fla. Did ANYBODY buy it, and if so - at what #?) Record: 27-21 The pop quiz question from Saturday: "What is the record on Unders in the New Play now?" The answer: 12-0. "4-0 last week, and had a W with Geo South on Friday" = 5-0. With 5-0 charted in my...

    NFL Buys for 2020

    Recap: Winner. Best/oldest system I have. Didn't even need the extra pts from the teaz. Atlanta did get their first home win, despite trying to lose by giving up 21 pts in the 4th quarter. And two TD dog Dallas almost pulled off a SU win. Hope to see that system play at least 2-3 more times...

    College Football buys for 2020

    Recap: I screwed up. Got lucky on Ark State game. Had under 68. With 40 scored at halftime I was ready to write it off as an L. But got a 10-point third quarter. Two touchdowns and a field goal in the fourth quarter couldn't hurt me, I'd still win by a point. And that's what happened. 17...

    I'm not going anywhere, Guy, thanks. Looks like the New Play will take its first loss on an Under with Memphis, but I'm going to try one more spot. Adding BC/Syr Un 54.

    Thanks for stopping by and contributing, Coach, Bad Angel & Idabdou. I'm not going anywhere. I'll post if even just one person finds my stuff helpful. I'm altruistic by nature. Just felt like guilting a lurker into stepping up instead of just reading and leaving. Recap: Got a W with BYU last...

    Love to have some advice on middle play

    I stopped by to say "Don't second guess yourself, you went with the right math, just got the wrong outcome." But, just saw that you didn't hedge, so . . congrats!

    My request for a lurker or two to stop by isn't about people posting to say they bet with me, or against me. It's just good to know that someone/anyone finds the posts useful or interesting. Otherwise, why post? So thank you Jng and Gridman for stopping by to say "hi." Back to this weekend's...

    Thursday's Best Bet

    Great overall record, and anything above 67% (like your BB's) is awesome. Congrats and good luck tonight.

    NFL Buys for 2020

    Play #1: NE/NYJ Ov NO/TB Un Record on these is 14-6; Ov 6-2, Un 8-4. (Note - last week, both games could have been a W or L depending on when you bought them. If I buy a game, it gets graded at the # I bought it at. If not, I try to use the lines that seem to be avail for most of the week. Gave...

    Love to have some advice on middle play

    With a four pt differential, and the key # of 7 in there - middle it. "Also could see the Packers defense letting me down again and 49ers keeping it close." Remember - it wasn't the D that only put up 22 vs Minn (a team that surrenders 30 PPG), and 10 vs Tampa (a team the Giants scored TWICE...
