Lean badgers here

I take the hundo now and put it all on the Packers to win the SB

I don't care about the ban, nothing im missing out on at eog. Since i new about the move i really only checked in to keep up with the fantasy thread that has been going on at eog for 5+ years. Just was strange. I didnt even make a thread or even a post directing anyone to this forum. I kept pretty quiet about the whole situation and only had positive things to say about JK

Got the same thing a few days ago

Depends what you mean by elite. I think there will be a time when he is a top 5 QB in the NFL, yes. Do i think he will ever be a Peyton, Brady, Rodgers type? No. But i wouldn't put Drew Brees with those guys either so it depends how picky you are being with the term elite

Bortles wont start. Jax management and coaching has been adament about that (explaining the long odds). If you are going to go with a QB i think Teddy \b is your best bet simple because I think Hoyer will do pretty well and keep the job longer than people think (if not the whole season). Best bets are right at the top though. Watkins has the talent to step in and be almost a pro bowler right away, only question is can Buffalo get him the ball enough. Cooks is a perfect fit for the Saints and like peavy said without sproles cooks will step in and take a lot of those reps where you just try to get him the ball in space. I can see him having a very Keenan Allen type of year

EOG

Yep, very gracious of 1vice to sponsor this event

Banned there as well. No big loss at this point

About 4-5 years ago i threw $200 on some asian table tennis match simply because it was the only thing offered that was being played in the next 20 mins. 200 was the same amount back then that I would put on an NFL or NBA game i really liked so it wasnt peanuts to me or anything

Detroit, Miami, Washington, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, St Louis, Atlanta all decent chances of making the playoffs. Of those Detroit and Miami the most likely

Huge Johnny Football fan. Would say he is my third favorite athlete after Lebron and Nadal.

The theory behind it is still good, the execution needs to be better though if it is indeed brought over here. I didn't like running my balances very high over there for the very reason that proved to be true. Got balance up to 800+ with tto and he didn't have the money to pay it back. Now i respect that he did eventually get me the money instead of walking away and saying F it so overall my experiences were good but that shouldnt happen Also there would be others that were hestitant to pay when i would ask to settle. If the balance was 100-200 but with a poster i dont do much action with and i wanted to settle theyd respond to me that they dont like to settle at such low figures and would prefer 500+. Like rich said should have a settle date in place beforehand

Nice small pickup. Ray Allen is next

Most wide open mens major i can remember in tennis. Nadal a huge question mark because of his injury, Novak nowhere near good form, Murray hasn't been in top form all season and we finally have a few of the promising young guys closing the gap between them and the elite 4. Wouldn't shock me to see Wawa win again, Dimitrov a huge contender, even to a smaller degree Raonic (although still think his all around game needs work because he contends to win a major). Fed the only top player in great form, i think a legit argument could be made for him as the favorite here. Although Novak and Nadal's best still beats him just not sure we can expect their best

I get the longterm value argument but I do this for fun not as a financial +EV decision. Last two years or so i've gotten really into making very big wagers (for me) on futures and having the excitement of cheering it on the entire season. I put BY FAR my most money in play for the NFL season. I have the following wagers for this season: Detroit over 8.5 wins Carolina under 8.5 wins Miami over 8 wins Houston under 7.5 wins Cleveland over 6.5 wins Seattle under 11 wins Also have a few hundered on GB Packers to win the SB Prices not included since i have them all at varying prices. I add to these types of bets little by little as soon as they come out and end up with between 700-1000 on each after a couple months. Most of them are near the current prices. I got Carolina at a really good number around -32 ish and most of Miami at a bad number around even.

Damn, Deal with it bringing the heat right out of the gate here at TGF

Have to agree. Used to not mind him just for entertainment purposes but no questioning the guy has something seriously wrong upstairs. Hope he seeks some professional help for his own sake

Let's hope his computer can last a whole 30 days without overheating.

I don't know that blindly "staying away from chalk" is very good advice. There IS a reason that team is -200, they are much better than their opponent (or at least much more likely to win in that scenario). Now, does -200 mean they should win EVERY game? No it should mean they win 67% of the time, which of course means they should lose 33% of the time (actually should win less often than that once you adjust for a NVL) It isn't as simple as bet dogs and short favs to make money. There can be situations where you bet a -600 fav and it is a GREAT bet. Not because it won or lost, but if you're data shows that -600 fav should be -900 then over time that's a money maker and a very solid bet. Just like there can be terrible bets made at +200 when in reality maybe they should be closer to +270

Agree with the main points being made there. Thread pages need to be longer than 15, more threads on the front page, easier way to navigate back to the Main Stage after you're done reading a thread
