Righting the Ship on Saturdays finally...

In a weird turn of events last night, we hit the College Football game, and missed on the baseball bets, giving us a 1-2 night.

The Bankroll is at $9,510.

We are going to go a little drastic today, here we go:

I do not care how bad a team Washington St. is, this USC is not covering 45.5 points to anyone in the Pac-10. All Wash. St. has to do is score one touchdown, by accident, and its a win for the good guys.

Washington St. +45.5 Risk $330 to Win $300

Florida bit me in the ass last week, but I have to go back to them. Urban Meyer teams have scored 45+ on Kentucky three times since 2005. Pile that on with the fact that Kentucky is turnover prone, and Florida will be in tearing out the throat mode after the stinkbomb they put up last week, this game could get ugly.

Florida -21 (Buy the half point) Risk $360 to Win $300

Arkansas can score, and in bunches, but they cannot stop anymore either. I think they can score enough against the vaunted Tide defense to put the Over in play. Bama will put up 40 in this game. I will not touch the spread in the Ark-Bama game, but...

Over 58 Risk $330 to Win $300

Has anyone seen Cincainnati play yet? If you like offense, this team will make you moist. QB Tony Pike is winning some Heisman votes. Fresno St. put up points on the road against Wisconsin and against Boise st., a team that put the clamps on Oregon. Cincy in a blowout? Hmmm...

Over 63 Risk $330 to Win $300

Kansas, and QB Todd Reeising has scored in bunches the past three seasons. Is he the most forgotten player in the country? Southern Miss. is in the Top 20 in offense in the nation. The game is in Kansas, good weather. This one probaly does not take a rocket scientist.

Over 58 Risk $330 to Win $300

And finally, possibly my favorite game of the year. Texas Tech just threw all over Texas. Houston has been unstoppable and beat up on Okie St. at home. Arena League Football in Houston tonight. Wonder why this game is on ESPN tonight? Answer? FOR GAMBLING PURPOSES ONLY!

Over 74 Risk $330 to Win $300

Can we finally have a winning week? Do diamonds rain from the sky?

Uh-Oh... at least the NFL is tomorrow!

The Bet

We know America loves sports, but common sense also tell us something else. Sports betting is as American as apple pie. It controls sports programming, and if you think otherwise, why are there now Thursday, Friday, Sunday, and Monday college football games? Why did the NFL start Monday Night Football? Why are ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball games usually the only baseball game left on the schedule that night?

Simple answer is, sports betting. Wayne Root, a famous Vegas handicapper has stated this common sense in the past. It is ways for the common degenerate to have one last grasp on getting his/her fix. The television networks are no fools either. They know this, and exploit it. They make money off of our sickness, but we still love them for it.

The premise for this is simple. I will start off with a $10,000 bankroll. I will post my wages on the site, with how much I'm risking, winning, etc. I will always use ScoresandOdds.com for the lines.

Along the way, the new novice bettor will learn new terms and lingo that really, only true degenerates know and say. I will keep a Glossary on the site for some of these terms, so if you are not understanding, you can grasp the grammar.

Now for this week's wages:
I will take the Over (65) in tonight's Oregon-Boise St game. Risking $550 to Win $500
(Yes, one thing in life you will always have to do, is pay the Vig).
We like Over games here, makes the game you bet and watch more exciting!!! Lets risk $550 to Win $500 on the Over (61) in the Missouri-Illinois game.
Lastly, I really would of taken Charleston Southern +73 over Florida, but it was not on the board. The 1985 Chicago Bears could play some Pop Warner 12 year old team, and I would still would not lay that kind of wood.

So, I will take LSU -18 over Washington. This one, we will risk $385 to Win $350.
So, the wages are:
Over 65 Oregon-Boise St. $550/$500
Over 61 Missouri/Illinois $550/$500
LSU -18 $385/$350
There you have it. The needle went into the arm. I will probaly need an intervention by December.
