    Speak for yourself buddy I saw 2.5 and wagered the entire Christmas budget on that. You owe my daughter presents!!! :D

    That was fun, might try that again as a fun low-risk bet.

    No idea why. Just a tip I got on VSIN. Can’t ignore that trend.

    The Over looking great for Steelers-Colts. Indy is a “dead over” team this year.

    Vikings-Bengals was beautifully under 41 until it wasn’t.

    I couldn't find that at FD so I put a couple bucks on both teams to score. Which they did. So I guess I join @poindexter in buying you a beer!

    FD has cut back on their menu quite a bit over the last two years.

    Used to play a lot of “exact goals” in soccer and “exact touchdowns” and those markets appear gone.

    My luck has been pretty brutal of late. Had Jax State -3.5 yesterday, won by three. Had a parlay that included Vikings ML that was dead by 4:30, too bad since IND -6.5 and DET -4.5 hit with ease. Shoutout fuckstick Vikings for giving up 21 in the fourth quarter and losing in OT.

    Same here. Hit two out of three legs on a parlay (Colts -2.5, Miami of Ohio +5) and then New Mexico State (-3.5) laid a Brontosaurus-sized turd against Fresno State.
    Had Florida A&M (-6.5 vs. Howard) in the Celebration Bowl. They struggle all day, finally get up 24-16 and have the ball with about 8 minutes left, and then a Howard defender jumps the route on a bubble screen and takes it to the house. FAMU winds up winning, but doesn't cover.
    Capped (or perhaps crapped) it off with Boise State (+2.5) taking a two-score lead into halftime against UCLA and then getting absolutely dumptrucked in the second half. I had to put my bets in early last week, and the day after I took Boise their QB hit the transfer portal.
    Only bright spot for the weekend was taking the Raiders -3.

    This whole season has been a dumpster fire for me. I just can't find a consistent team in college or the NFL. Every team I start to get a bead on does a 180-degree momentum turn the next week. Good teams (like New Mexico State) suddenly look like ass, and struggling teams (like Fresno State) turn into world-beaters. It's been maddening.
