LSU -9 over ND

OSU -8 over Florida

Michy +1 over USC

Wake +10 over Louisville

Arkansas -1.5 over Wisky

Tenn -4.5 over PSU

Texas Tech -6.5 over Minn.




I REALLY like a lot of these games. Some of these spreads seem nuts to me.

Where would you go to place money on these spreads? I've never done it before, but these spreads are too good to pass on

I do most of my wagering at bodog.com. There aren't many options left with the new legislation.

Bear in mind you will have to provide them with some documentation before you can withdraw any winnings.

What do you mean documentation?

I still think the best bet is to just go through a neteller.com account. It's quick, easy, and free.

The new legislation has pretty much worked for me. I don't like pokerstars or bodog nearly as well as I did partypoker, so I hardly ever play anymore. I think Sunday was the first time I really played for any length in a month or more.

Faxed copies of soc cards, drivers licenses, any credit or debit cards you use to supply funds, and some forms of theirs to fill out.

I also haven't played poker online in over a month.

My buddy plays on Full Tilt (I think, I know there is Tilt in the title) and seems to move funds ok.

I've kicked off the bowl season with a nice $150 on BYU -4 over Oregon. That one's looking fantastic right now. I'll probably parlay the winnings on 5 of the games I listed previously for a huge potential payday, and then bet smaller amounts on the games individually. I think this is going to be a very profitable bowl season.

Edit: I just re-checked the lines, and I found my 5-team parlay paying 25-1

CMU -9.5 ove MTSU (Ford Field)

UCLA -4.5 over FSU (San Francisco)

Texas Tech -6.5 over Minny (Tempe)

Tenn -4 over PSU (Tampa)

Arkansas -1.5 over Wisky (Orlando)


All 5 of these spreads seem low to me, plus all 5 are going to be virtual home games for the favorite. I feel as good about this as it's possible to feel about a 5 team parlay. Not likely, but not a bad play for 25-1 odds IMO.

I have played every bowl game so far, and the only one that I flubbed on was Rice. I was going to go the other way, but I made an idiotic move and looked at the collegefootballnews prediction. If I would have followed my gut, I would have won that one too. I am not too sure about the UCLA game, but I really like S. Miss, South Carolina, probably LSU, Arkansas, and a couple of others. The games start to get harder as the bowls go on. They are so predictable early, you can really win money on the favorites in the early going. Southern Miss is the best game left in my opinion. I'll let everyone know what I like in another day or so. I am busy recruiting out of town, so I have to do my research when I get to the hotel. I really can't get a good feel on the UCLA game, the Bruins should cover the spread, it has dropped to 3.5, but who knows. The Slack 10 is always unpredictable. They are 0-2 against the spread so far.

I am in a bowl pool here at work and so far the only game I've missed is UCLA/FLA State. I am still in first but there are a ton of games left...including 5 today.

My dumbest pick? Taking Ga Tech over WVU. Of course is Ga Tech were to win, I'll look like a genius! :lol:

You almost have to pick a game like that, because at some point, everything won't shake out as it "should." I'll usually root for the Mountaineers because of Coach Nehlen, but, good luck to you. :)

LOL! How about that? GA Tech blew an 18 point lead for me. Of course, it wasn't nearly as bad as watching Minny blow a 31 pt lead as I picked them to beat TT. :evil: One of my other "upset specials" was Nevada over Miami...lost by 1. I took Penn State which turned out ok.
