THE Official Football Betting Thread

You bet too many games IMO.

Spreading your money around makes it hard to profit. Remember, you gotta hit 55-60% to clear the red (assuming you lay the same action on each play), and as you know, it's easier said than done. The more you play, the tougher the odds of hitting the number.

A few years ago I changed my strategy. Instead of spreading around a bunch of small plays, when I do gamble, I just hammer one play. Less stress, no bullshit.

If your just an action guy, I can see playing the board. That's fine. From a dollar and cents POV, I prefer laying heavy lumber on one play.

Do you guys make these bets offline or with a bookie? If online, what website would you recommend? And what mode of transaction do you use (ie. credit card or debit or etc)?

I agree, I bet WAY too many games. I loved 3 plays today.. Wisconsin - 3, MSU - 4 and LSU +10.. I shoulda spread it across those 3 games. Id already be with a profit. Instead im stressing over these terrible 3:30 games, all of which have been beyond pathetic.

College football is fucking pathetic.

This is the type of betting pattern I just don't understand.

You have to Colts involved in all three of these parlays, so if thy don't cover, you're wiped out. Even if they cover, you need a million other things to go right in order to cash. It's scattered and the odds of hitting all of that mess is astronomical.

I would just lay heavy lumber on the Colts and be done with it. No stress, no worrying about a million different games. Colts cover, you win. End of story. And you've cut the odds down in your favor dramatically.
