The curse of the blog continues? In all fairness it was a very well played game, at home, by the Bears and absolutely horrendous play calling by the Eagles. Can anyone explain to me why the Eagles kicked field goals in the 4th quarter down 31-13 and 31-16? Some other notes: – We’ve now found [...]
I’m on record publicly as being skeptical of the Bears’ success so far this season (and Tampa to a lesser extent, though I’ll leave that for another post). It’s not that Chicago has a terrible team, they’re easily a mid-table side capable of beating most teams at home and are expected underdogs on the road [...]
Too soon. I should’ve listened to the Tribe’s coach when he said that it would be January before they hit their stride. Hindsight is 20/20. Have no fear, as the marathon continues there will be plenty of opportunities to get back in the game…starting now. I woke up to see Northeastern v S. Illinois on [...]
Just for fun…here are my NBA impulse bets of the eve. Thunder +6.5 at Utah. Utah is coming off a terrific road trip where they came from behind (no pun intended) in every single win. They’ve been back in town just long enough to pat themselves on the back, call up the mistresses, and let [...]
Yes, it may be a little early for bowl commercials, but with the NFL in midseason form, college football entering rivalry/championship weekends, NBA entering early season stride, and ESPN’s 24 hour college bball marathon; it’s the perfect time to begin cataloging what is sure to be a whole lotta gambling. Let us begin: NCAA bball-How [...]
I added some Ghana World Cup futures at 60:1 to go with the 35:1 on Uruguay. Both of these teams are in the same pod (with the United States) and should either make the semis, we can start to pull out some equity by betting on their opponent to advance. Of course, If the US [...]
Basically the rest of the group phase. I’ve got nothing for the next day or two. Declan Hill: It is the time for the fixes. Here is what I know. The fixers are in South Africa. They have been desperately trying to contact various teams. They have various runners and old contacts coming in and [...]
Kickoff is in under an hour… South Africa PK +170 vs. France is on strike Going with the point spread here. This will push on a draw. I have a small amount on SA +280 straight up as well. Uruguay/Mexico o2 +175 I’ll be livebetting this one and putting my 100% live betting record at [...]
Adding some more action no doubt spurred by the increase in scoring that was inevitable, even if it was hard to profit from some of the scoring. We took a bad beat taking Australia/Ghana o2.5 +165 when there was no scoring after Harry Kewell’s red card and subsequent penalty prior to the half hour mark. [...]
16 games, 32 teams, 25 goals. Betting the under in every game would have given you a 13-1-2 record so far. The only over to hit was Germany’s 4-0 win over Australia. Brazil/North Korea pushed on a 3 goal line and Greece/South Korea did the same at 2. 8 games were 0-0 at halftime. Uruguay [...]
