One more whack at the college bowl games...

I was just listening to interviews of several of the Sportbook managers around town. They say they weren't giving 10, it was between 9 - 9.5, it was a good line, and that the betting is about evenly split.
No one would predict anything, but one guy said 'if you have ND and 9.5 you should be alright.' Then immediately he said 'of course anything could happen in a game like this.'

I'm just watching, having already missed crazykid's weekend parlay.

That turned out to be a pretty good strategy after all, Kermit!

Pooches ended the bowl season 15-20 for a net LOSS of about $170.17 if one was to wager $30.00 on 5 Dimes' reduced spread line after 9pm the night before the game.

Money line on the dogs were 12-23 but with a net GAIN of $15 if one were to wager $10.00 on the Dog's PLUS money line on each game on 5 Dimes' reduced line.

Total rewards for blindly wagering on all puppies so far this season: MINUS $155.77 based on a cheapass $30/$10 bucks on each dog.

Next year I', predicting that the Dogs will go 37-0 based on my analysis of this year's events.

Personally I did wager on EVERY Dog and wound up losing my ass, figuratively, especially factoring in last night's UPSET.

For the most part, I did wager an average of about $30/$10, though on some games I wagered less (Purdue), while on others I wagerd much more, like Notre Dame last night, unfortunately.

Back to the blood bank.
