Yeah, I tried to open this link in the other post you had on whether the game was on tv. Of course, my firm's web filter blocked it because it is a "gambling" site. If I had read this one first, & saw it was your "bookie's" I probably wouldn't have opened it.......

Which is to say, I'm not mad at you. I just wonder if my law firm thinks I have a gambling problem now??? Great!

Come on MACMAN. Think about it. Of course it is a mistake. Do you notice that there isn't any point spread or over/under listed?

They do at times just put a pck as it is listed wth no points, limiting the bet to pck only.
I am going to keep an eye on it.

Oh I bet they know you have a problem....betcha?

Gamblers A lit on desk and in email....just ask some one to borrow 20 bucks and invite them to lunch at the track?

When the game is off the board the website defaults to listing the home team as a favorite. They obviously aren't going to let you bet on it because they have no line. Take a look at the Iowa at Iowa State game. Three of the books have it on the board with Iowa at -9. The fourth book doesn't have a line so they automatically list the home team (Iowa St) as the favorite.

Okay, I guess I am safe. But on another sidenote, I DO know a lawyer who used to be a bookie. He went to my law school, and I distinctly remember watching football games over at his house one Saturday & it was one of the most surreal experiences I have ever seen. He had a bigger "bookie" dude he was calling all his bets into & there was all this horrible tension & people were freaking out over all the money they lost. What a great guy (yeah right)! But if anybody needs a lawyer or wants to place a bet in Pittsburgh, I can give you his name!

Huh....interesting. I had the same kind of thing happen to me whenever I try to get on to Atlanta Falcons message board using my laptop and wireless at Panera's. I get a message saying that site is restricted for "gambling".Weird.

Panera filters out gambling sites on their wireless?

I'll remember not to go there, then!

I heard there was no spread because of the guys who got cut. Not sure how that factors in, but I got it from more than one persaon.

My mama told me to never gamble because you were burn in hell and/or go blind.

I have a tip for you:

If you have to think for a second if this is a mistake, you should be buying blue chip stocks and bonds and not sending your money to Vegas dude.

there is never a line when suspensions are occuring, we will have a line next game when we play a cleaner team;)

MACMAN · Post by **MACMAN** » Sat Sep 10, 2005 9:44 am

Line coming in this morning
BGSU -281/2

seems about right.
