Lets make some money

Anyone have a lock for sat college football. Lets work together .to make some money and maybe some friends.  Let's each post a game we like and then we can report back on wins and loses.  One gane only and everyone can take the input and do as they like, much like the stock clubs of the 80s.  I will post my pck in the mourning

My pick, Iowa st  money line - 210

I've decided not to make any bets, because every $100 I bet will cost me $4.54. it would be the same as if somebody walked up to me and offered to buy my $100 bill for $95.46. I would refuse.

I'm being facetious, as I know that what you're actually buying is entertainment. Though I can watch the game for free, the chance of winning money jazzes it up for millions of people. It also makes Sheboygan State vs. South Dakota Remedial Institute worth watching. I've bet on so many things in my life, the thrill of -EV is nonexistent for me. But I'm in the minority, I know.

FWIW, I've read that college sports are the only real sports betting opportunity for advantage play, because a pro bettor can familiarize himself with one or two obscure conferences and know more about their teams and matchups than the Vegas bookies do. Value can be found, though I don't know if there's enough value to win at a 53.5% clip, which is what you need just to break even.

I generally loathe college sports, because of the ridiculously one-sided matchups that serve only to boost the reputations of the huge favorites, and the systems that incentivize total-points blowouts--which is why the first team is still on the field in the fourth quarter when they're leading by seven touchdowns. Ridiculous, and unsportsmanlike.

So to answer your question, I'm going with South Dakota Remedial Institute at +38, -110.

Looking good so far.  ISU up big midway through the 3rd quarter.  

John Patrick used to have weekly picks ofn his website.  I guess this is more of a Las Vegas / political forum than a gambling forum. If the line on the South Dakaota game was 38 then that would have been a push, but so many better games out there for serious gamblers.  Just curious how many have online sportsbook accounts.

I haven't seen much interest on this forum for sports betting. I know I'm not interested in it. 

Not sure.....I make the occasional sportbook bet for specific games or fights, but don't do parlays.   Not sure how many LVAers, besides yourself do much sports betting on the regular.
