sports betting...mK...Chapter 1

Well, i'll just throw in a bit about sports betting. Gosh, what a silly life i have.....work / sleep / gamble / repeat. Oh, and a bit of good eating. Do i need a gf?

Anyhow... i'll give a rundown of my recent wagers & their results. Also... as we move on... i'll give my upcoming wagers (so all of you have a heads up).

9/10/06...Packers / Bears. I chose the over for this game. I had three wagers across the city. Over 35 & Over 34 1/2 (depending on where i went).
Result: loss

9/11/06...Vikings / Redskins. This game was at D.C. .. and i chose the Vikings with the MONEY LINE. This was a nice game for me.
Result: win (with a +170 money line)

9/15/06...Padres/Dodgers. I saw that Maddux was pitching, that did it for me. Was a sweet one... mostly because i chose the run line (which is sometimes a challenge to hit at -1 1/2).
Result: win

9/15/06...Reds/Cubs. The o/u was 9 runs... and it could be 'had' (either way) for a -110. Often the o/u for baseball has some lopsided propositions. Anyhow i jumped on the UNDER.
Result: win

9/15/10 to 9/16/06...Here i have a 4 team parlay that's brewing. I've already nailed the first 3 (woohoo), i just need to score my NFL game sunday & it's a winner.

Notre Dame / Mich - chose MICH +6.5 (win)
Nebraska / USC - chose Nebraska +18.5 (win)
Navy / Stanford - chose Navy+2.5 (win) I kneeeew Navy would handle them.
Bears / Lions - chose OVER 32.5.

So, i just need to see if that final 'leg' of the parlay works out sunday.

That's all for now.

Nice run. IMO, the over/under is a killer. For this weekends NFL, IMO there's too many big spreads, if I were at a book (which I'm not) I'd be going against some of those, particularly:

Lions +8
Oakland +13
Arizona +7
NYJ +6
(don't think I'd bet 'em all, just a few)

And personally I think underdog Steelers win outright, and slight favorite MN looks good at home vs beatup/underachieving Carolina.

I seem to recall this happening last year - it's early and everybody thinks the first weekend is indicative of the rest of the year, so huge spreads.

Good points al !!

Minn is trailing by right now in the 4th -- but i was thinking of them as well.

Well, my 4 team parlay is now locked up. So, as soon as DET/CHI is a final, i guess i'll go get my dough. I only wish i put more on the parlay, he he.

Thanks, but I was sooooo wrong on the dogs! Every one would have lost. I guess that's why I get paid to do something else. LOL.
