if you're competing against others you might want to vary your choices, but do what'd you like.

good luck sir.

I'm pretty sure Indy would be favored against SD by at least 3. However, Indy might only be -2.5 vs Norleans. HFA has a lot to do with it.

Noob coworker A approached me and wanted to take J-E-T-S over SD this week, but "none of that points spread stuff" so I agreed to help him out and take his action.

Noob coworker B approaches me and says the same thing, only he wants Dem Cowboys to whup on Favre.

So I have SD and MIN to win, no pts, no vig, paying 1:1.

Considering that I run like the post-iceberg Titanic, this is great news for JETS and DALLAS moneyline backers.

Why is Rutgers fouling down 12 with 50 seconds left? I guess that's standard, but it's really annoying...

Remember those seasons where they were just so f-ing tough at home?? I am still stuck with the "nobody comes into the RAC and wins" mantra; I need to lose that ASAP.

Can someone please tell me what Pinnacle's maximum limits are for the NFL propositions on today's games? Supposedly they are clearly marked on the betting menu but I assume you have to have an account to view them. TIA

Also Total pass receiving yrds by Austin Collie $5000, but I am guessing this is a mistake and should be $500

Bah I was hoping they would be higher. Guess I will continue using A+ shops aggregates with hilarious results.

Just a heads up this weekend I have noticed some books have increased my reduced limits so just don't assume you can only bet your old max. BOL

I am considering learning SB as a side income, my main income being poker, so, do i have any chances of doing this profitably considering i'm not at all into sports? I mean, is strategy and math enough, or i really need to watch those boring sports on the tv?

Watching and knowing what you qualitatively see definitely can be a + and doesn't hurt, but won't single-handedly lead to being a winner. Basically nobody betting a game like UC Riverside/UC Irvine spread or o/u knows a damn thing about either other than what they can google or look up on kenpom or espn. The books can look up every stat or angle you can think of when setting a line. Find something more or interpret it better through a model/superior capping or watch the teams and see if you can analyze what can't be capped by stats, or just line shop and chase steam and bet things off market lines.
