Thanks for the encouragement Jim. I actually ended up being 4/8 for the Saturday. I had a mistake on the BYU (UNLV) game. I had UNLV +8. I also placed bets on:


Wake Forest +25

Vanderbilt +7


and both of those covered. If the homedogs Minn. lose tommorow I will have won this weekend. I needed this weekend anyway. I had gotten pretty cocky after going 7/9 last weekend. Take care.

You got unlucky with Purdue vs. Min too. Did Ball State blow an extra pt. ? College football is tough, learn about any type game to avoid next week? Looks like biggest surprise was Tulsa vs. UTEP.

I think the biggest mistake I made this week was lines

going soft and me betting them and then them going

back to where they were. For example, (I use your

site by the way for looking at all the lines), on the

BYU/UNLV game, I had it at UNLV +8, because the line

had dropped to BYU -6.5 and one of the books I used

kept the 8. But, by kick off the mode of most books

was 8.5. So, my advantage basically went out the

window. Now, I did win that game, but anything can

happen. That happened to me on the Tulsa/UTEP game.

I had gotten Tulsa at -1 when most books had them at

-2 - -2.5, but by kick off they were the dogs. So, I

guess I am going to have to wait until closer to game

time. I won't be able to place as many bets, but

probably will not have as many losers either. I also

think it had to average out as well. I went 7/9 last

week and I know I can't expect that all the time. I

would really appreciate your thoughts on this. Sorry,

such a long message.

when guys post their picks and they stink up the joint then they come back and say "oh yeah, the picks I didnt post went 3-0 so I did OK." I always get a good laugh out of that one.--Big Al--

I agree. It's easy to pick winners after the games are over.
