I wish I could just learn to LAY LOW on these PRIME TIME GAMES

Journeyman · Sep 15, 2003

I had a great weekend and gave some back last night in that dog of a Sunday Night Game....

Is it me or does everyone have to play these prime time games??? I had no feel what so ever for that game last night, the lousy Bears and the unpredictable Vikes....And of course I get swept like a shithead

I will never learn to stay away from those Prime Time Games

And of course Minny covers on the last freakin play for them

Someday I`ll learn to pass on these shit teams...There was no play last night and I

knew it , but I still had to hang out with Joe

Paul

and Mike

and watch the ESPN game ... I should be pistol whipped for that crime I commited to my wallet

I'm a sucker for T.V games! unfortunately I get every pro football, basketball, baseball, and hockey game through Direct TV. So I'm screwed,lol!

Settle down Journey and just bet games you like. I was once in your shoes but have learned. Here is the scenario, a big TV game is coming on and in my prime when I was a ladies man I would have women come over to my pad and I did not even like the game and did not have a fukkin dime to my name and played big shot by betting the games and calling them in in front of the girls to impress them.. Example (Hey is LR whats the line tonight on Carolina , its +7, ok guy give it to me for 3 dimes!!! I did not even like the game and was using sharks money to pay if I lost, all I was doing was trying to impress ladies in my pad and they thought I was a high roller. Of course most of the time the game went down and I owed my shark. One thing I alwyays paid my man first and them would worry about the sharks. I to this day still get front money from them so I can bet.

Good Luck

JJ I don t do it to impress anyone, its just the glitter an glitz of the PRIME TIME, that always sucks me in... I will work on it...already made some adjustments as I am not playing tonights DOG GAME...WTF is Dallas on MNF for anyway!?!?!?

TheGeneral+ · Sep 15, 2003

I lost with you Jman. I didnt get suckered by glamour, but I thought Minny would roll in second half. I should have just stuck with my minn -8, but played the second as well.

jls626 · Sep 15, 2003

Journeyman,
I'm a Giants fan but watch and you'll see why Dallas is on MNF. Parcells will have this team ready tonight! The last 7 meetings this game was decided by 7 or less and that was without Parcells!

Journeyman · Sep 15, 2003

But all I needed was 7 points from the Bears in the 2nd half, just 7,lol...And of course the play goes down on the last play for Minnesota...I felt Chi would score one TD in the 2nd half....Oh well I am off tonite, I will get a few payouts today and give it a few days....The damn Prime Time scrub games always get me...The ARI, CHI, DET, these are the games that fuk me ...

jls626 · Sep 15, 2003

Sorry, correct myself last 6 out of 7 meetings were decided by 7 points or less!

Dante · Sep 15, 2003

I rarely play TV games...unless its a prop bet

jjgold · Sep 15, 2003

Watch out tonight, this game is a trap

I would lean towards a first half NY Giants bet only.

Fishhead · Sep 15, 2003

A 30+ point win by the Giants would not be surprising. Cardinals and Cowgirls about even on the talent pole.

jls626 · Sep 15, 2003

Call your local book and see if this game has lopsided action if so bet the books way!

PanchoSanza · Sep 15, 2003

More square money on this game than any other one all week.

I usually like to fade the public on these or go under.

That said, I like Dallas AND under tonight.

ericdixon · Sep 15, 2003

I hear you Journey, but its a lot of fun to have something riding on the hyped up TV games.Even if it ends up in the

!

PatrickMcIrish · Sep 16, 2003

Short cards (Thursday night, Monday night etc...) are notorious for being good for the books. Players force plays in when there is little to no choice.

Don't kick yourself guys we all do it to some degree.

Journeyman · Sep 16, 2003

I should have known that this game would end up being a great game that the big dog would cover the whole way!!! I didn`t even watch after midway thru the 3rd..I guess it was some ending!?

Dante · Sep 16, 2003

to funny the ending...

THe BONEHEADED kicker for The giants kicks the ball out of bounds with 11 secs. left...Carter hits a reciever for 30 yards cunditt kicks at 53 yrder to tie it....then kicks the winner in OT...bryant the kicker for the giants got taped to the lockers and butt raped for that goof

I was at the game and nearly cried. It was a great comeback by my GMen but Special Teams bites us in the ass AGAIN. With that said, I take solace in two things:

1) The Giants did not deserve to win since they were outplayed for almost the entire game. It is a fact that they played well for about 10 minutes.

2) I had a bit of action on the game with Dallas to cover and the game to go over.

Other than those 2 points, it was a terrible loss since the Giants had an opportunity to move to 2-0 with their main rival, the Eagles, at 0-2 AND I got little sleep since I didn't get home until 2am.
