The Rokslide Sports Betting Thread

[Sherman]

There is a stock traders thread, so thought I would start a sports betting thread where all of us degenerates could co-mingle.

Do you do your own handicapping?

Watch opening lines and track line movements?

Have a spot to get the best number?

See a line that makes no sense that you want to share with our small community?

Is that you Calvin Ridley?

Lol you beat me to the punch. Sigh…

Matthew Fitzpatrick to win the Players has my interest. Decent enough odds. Just sprinkle $25 to win $925 and go get that piece of gear you've been eyeing.

*This is not financial advice. Betting someone to win a golf tournament is a dumb bet, BUT I do like Fitz at the Players.

He’s 3 for 3 finishing in the top ten this year. I need to check the odds on a top ten finish....maybe some pizza $$$ to win it.

Do you bet the trends or are you going to be a contrarian? I might jump in on the contrarian side with better numbers.

Parlay expert Chris King from Winners and Whiners put out this expert pick today:

Tennessee -7.5
SMU -8.5
Norfolk State -5.5

I got in late and the SMU line moved to -10 so I placed an insurance bet with the same teams on the moneyline. If you can find the SMU -8.5 at a book, let me know which book.

Edit: MGM has SMU -9.5. Best number I can find.

The basketball parlays worked out.

What is the purpose of this thread?

 

[String&stick]

Should probably get this thread brought back to the top with college football just a few weeks away. . . Week 1 always seems to have some crazy lines

 

[svivian]

One of the best bets out there.

Also, Colorado State University under 3.5, Fresno State win total over and Utah to win the PAC 12.

Where are you getting CSU at 3.5, seeing them at 5.5. Agree with Utah, the USC hype train is leaving the tracks a year early to me.

Got CSU and CU mixed up. CSU under 5.5 wins.

CU o/u is around 3 games. I won’t touch that bet.
