Some great betting by @BusSport today :suds:

I lost $10,200 yesterday on OSU and I bet on Oklahoma over Baylor because I heard their QB was out. Small problem it was TCU's QB not Baylor. Oops.
However today I made $12,200 mostly betting on my Redskins to lose. I new they weren't as good as last week vs Saints. I still have $3000 in bets still out tonight. Well once again great job Bus you were on fire today with some huge bets. :clap:

Well I joined @BusSport and @gobigred in the $50+k club. Now if only I wasn't broke in real life. When you can't afford roman noodle broke its bad. Now I just need to figure out how to bet like I do on SportsHoopla on a real betting site. I figure that's when I mess up when real money is involved. Anyone do a betting site where you bet on games not like fan dual and put together a team?

Sorry just saw this post. Wasn't tagged in it. I don't think Bus did beat my single game beat. I keep winning big on beating on or against my Redskins. This week they play the Gmen and I think the Giants beat the spread. However the games in Washington which really is a advantage for skins who suck away from Fedex field. The Skins will do worse then when they played the Saints but better then against Panthers. I see the Giants 28 Redskins 21. I'll take Giants -2.5. I'll bet $5k on it.

Damn I new I should have bet more then $1,000 on under 58 on Nebraska game. Still lot of time left. I also bet $2800 on Iowa covering the 2pts against Cornhuskers. With this wind it's going to be a battle for both teams. Armstrong needs to be more cautious with the ball but my $2800 hopes he doesn't.

@BusSport the FBI and Vegas Gaming commission will be heading to your house shortly on suspicion of insider information. They believe you are being tipped off on who will win EVERY game you bet on. My God man someone is having a Happy Thanksgiving. Poor @gobigred and I combined equal your stash. You've made some big bets pay out. You must be doing these bets right before they close because I hardly ever see them. Well sir congrats on bringing the heat to SportsHoopla.

It's just a matter of assessing the publicly-available information. :) For example, the Baylor@TCU game that pushed me over $100,000: I thought Baylor had a slight edge, but I didn't think it was going to be much of an edge since TCU was at home and had announced that Boykin was coming back. Really, the game was going to be close to tossup, so I only bet a small amount on Baylor. As it turns out, TCU would win in double OT, so I would lose the bet, but it didn't hurt me much because, since I thought the edge was small, I only bet a small amount on Baylor.

The over/under on the other hand: I took one look at the weather report, and I thought, there is no way that they are going to hit 78 in that weather. Just no way. In fact, I was quite surprised that the O/U was even anywhere near that high. The Baylor and TCU offenses are so dependent on tempo and rhythm, and the rain will just completely screw with that. Hard to execute in that weather. So I put down the big 16K on the under. And yup: what we ended up getting was the lowest-scoring-in-regulation Big 12 game this season; it wouldn't even have been remotely close to 78 if the game hadn't gone into overtime.

I bet on TCU and didn't see the weather report or I sooo would have bet the under. Great observation before the game.
