the " we " is a group

of business owners , professionals , and a couple retired guys that love to gamble and can afford it . We are not pros by any stretch of the imagination at all . I would say we are more of a calculated risk taker then an actual dictionary term gambler . We go to casinos and play black chips only , some are counters and all play basic strategy perfect . We all have been friends for 20 years or more and friends as well socially . Due to my recent run of bad health I have greatly curtailed my casino trips unfortunately . If you have the discipline and the proper money management as well and KNOW when to quit the casinos are there for the taking! Remember hogs get fat and pigs get slaughtered . Myself and one other guy do all the handicapping for the group. I have been e-mailed to death on can I pick college , got any parlays , and ad infintum but what you see is what we bet! the bets stated are a per person bet average in case you were curious . I also post my picks in plenty of time before game time as well so all you guys can look and laugh or bet them . Makes no difference to me . I post them for one reason only !!!!!!!! That reason is that when I came in here everyone basically was civil and always answered any questions I had and that shows a class group of people in here and that is a credit to the group , the owner , and all who are here . I would name them all but then this post would forever be long . I may start a separate post for longshot bets and etc but I doubt it - longshots meaning they did not meet my criteria for betting - a case in point is this week I liked 8 teams only and now you see the list is down to 3 and that is it for this week . Hope this clarifies things a little .:) :grin: ;) :cool2:

Yes, it does. Thanks, glovesetc. BTW, is that a clue as to the business you were in? You don't have to answer. I like your approach to picking teams, then whittling it down to the best of the best. It's the right way to go. Thanks for the betting tips.

5k on Browns , 3k on colts and 3k on Giants . I would love to bet the over on NE-Wash game but I have doubts how much wash can score to push it over . When in doubt do not bet is the best rule of thumb !!!!:) :grin: ;) :cool2:
How do you bet these teams? that is, with points or odds?

Hey, glovesetc, what are the odds of the Redskins pulling off the upset of the year? Have they got any chance whatsoever of giving the Pats a run for it?
this isnt basketball, the underdog has a very good chance in football, but we are talking about the pats, who are probably in the top 100 teams of all time, which is probably an understatement, but im just being absolutely sure here..

the odds are

probably in Vegas somewhere around 250-1 I would assume if you took them even! A buddy of mine said he saw that at a casino on line or in vegas as I recall . Might as well spot the pats 14 and get 1,000 to 1 odds . Anything can happen on any given day but I doubt it and do not be surprised to see the pats and the colts risking ZERO injuries if they are well ahead ,:) :grin: ;) :cool2:

My thoughts exactly. The Redskins' 1980s run-the-ball-90%-of-the-time crappy offense couldn't keep up with the Pats if it were snowing outside. Portis is a good back, but what does it matter when the defense knows what's coming?!? Gibbs won't even let Campbell throw the ball unless it is 3rd and 10+! :confused:

You're so right. That old style football reflects the dated management team in Washington. I think in this game Gibbs has to (and probably will) change his game strategy drastically to have any chance of winning. Jason has the arm, and only a complete moron would try to beat the Pats with that '80's style football. Again, drawing from my poolroom experience, the stronger the opposing team, the more aggressive you must play to beat them. It Gibbs tries to play that slow, run, run, run game agaist the Pats, they will pick him apart from head to toe. Final score, 50-13. I just can't believe that Gibbs will be that stupid. In fact, I think Gibbs is really trying to catch up with 21st century football, and has been holding back Jason for the end of season run. But now he has no choice but to pull it out of the bag if he wants to have even a remote chance of upsetting the Pats.

Great job!1 I tried all weekend (up to gametime) to get down a bet. It's not my usual habit. Vegas won't take telephone bets, AC (where I was) doesn't take sports bets except horse races, and all my friends' bookies were unavailable. Dadnabit! :( :mad: :cry: Oh, well, there's always next week!

Oh, I know you do. The problem I'm having is that I have never placed a bet aside from Vegas. Haha Everyone I know has a bookie but me. I usually bet person to person using the newspaper spreads.

Packers best investment since Microsoft

Packers best investment since Microsoft (in the 80s') nowadays, 6-1 now :D :D :D. (i'm from Wisconsin, one hour away from Greenbay if you're wondering why I continually cream my pants over the Packers :cool: )

Favre scores only one TD pass the entire 4 quarters, then in overtime, on the VERY FIRST play, he makes an 82 yard touchdown throw for the win. Does anybody find this as hilarious (and as spectacular) as I did. What an amazing sports moment.



DISCLAIMER: To all those who like the Packers, just cause they are cool and great, and cause I grew up with them, and cause I grew up with Favre, and cause they are just so damn cool, lets have a barbecue, 6-1, Favre smashing all time touchdown record, WOOHOO!!!! To all those betting on Packers cause I think they are cool and great, and grew up with them, I KNOW JACK ABOUT SPORTS BETTING, HAVE NEVER MADE A SINGLE SPORTS BET IN MY LIFE!!!

What do you mean "3"--are you saying if today's line of +3 stands, bet Green Bay?

PS--The line I saw gave GB 2 1/2 points, not 3. Would that negate the bet advice?

well we bet it at 3

:grin: ;) :cool2: so I have no idea of telling if it would affect our thinking but so I give you a reasonably good pice of mind - we felt green bay should be giving them 4 points but that is our opinion . Kansas city is terrible , their offense is having problems , and their defense is good against the teams they have [played - which is a bunch of also rans .KC should be spotting nobody buddy .:)
