I hope those 'dogs can bail you out this weekend .... now don't go so wild gambling that you forget to save some bankroll for Monday night.....


Lol.

I already made several wagers a month ago for that Monday night "gift" when the line was +10.5.

Another loss last night.

Geez, all I had to do is copy that "Another loss" bulllove and I'm figuratively getting sick and tired of saying that.

Pooches are now 15-17 for the college bowl season - a net LOSS of about $80.00 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 are now 12-20 but with a net GAIN of $45 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: -35.17 based on a cheapass $30/$10 bucks on each dog.

Tonight we're going with Pitt +3.50 +1.58 on the Money line.

Good Luck!

Hey Kermit, living in Vegas you probably get a lot of comps to see Dean Martin and the rest of the Rat Pack at the Stardust, but if you had any free time I bet you'd be cruising down Route 66 to see one of those great Southwest Conference teams in the Cotton Bowl on New Year's Day......

Another loss last night. This is getting a tad too redundant for me.

Pooches are now 15-18 for the college bowl season - a net LOSS of about $110.00 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 are now 12-21 but with a net GAIN of $35 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: -75.17 based on a cheapass $30/$10 bucks on each dog.

Tonight we're going with Pitt +3.50 +1.60 on the Money line.

Good Luck!

No matter how many points Notre Dame blasts Alabama by tonight, this is the second losing season in a row for those who purchased my "Bet the Dogs Blindly" special plan.

Refunds to everyone who did, or hockey season touts will be free of charge in order to honor my warrantee.

Pooches are now 15-19 for the college bowl season - a net LOSS of about $140.00 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 are now 12-22 but with a net GAIN of $25 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 $115.17 based on a cheapass $30/$10 bucks on each dog.

Tonight we're going with the National Champion Irish at +9.5* and +3.00. Easy money.

*Note the above line is for accounting purposes. Many folks like Bob B and Joel, who wagered in December received Notre Dame + 10.5 but for income tax reasons, I'll post today's current line with ND +9.5.

Good Luck!

Agree.

There's much more value in 12-1 shots, especially in horsemen’s races.

The only thing I can say I learned from this mess is that it's better to bet the money line on the Doggies than the spread for the past two seasons.

Just triple the bets for the big game, have the drink girl bring you a bunch of really strong ones, and you'll probably be back on the prfit side of the ledger pretty quick.....that's good gambling theory, isn't it?
