2020 Paper Tigers

So how does it work when you go under +100?

+91 would seem like you win 91 dollars if you bet 100, but if you follow that all the way down to lets say +10 under this thought you would get less than if you bet the -350

So how does that work?

When it goes under a push (+100) the Betting line becomes - so say the line is -200 you only get half you wager so $100 pays you 50 if its -500 $100 pays you 20 1/5 your wager -1000 pays you $10 Its really crazy to play huge money lines on the Fav, because your wagering a lot to win a little and you never know. Guys who bet the ML in Rams vs NE in 01 , or NE vs Giants in 08 lost when both teams were basically 14 pts favs.

So when you see a + it means more than your bet payoff, and - means less, So a -110 would pay you 91 on your 100

School me sonny as I am not a gambler in any way. What does that mean? I can surmise it means the redskinz suck giant donkey balls. But other than that.

Allen? Very good TX high school football team.

You're welcome another way to look at it is with 2 examples -150 have to wager $150 to win 100 +150 ML $100 gets you $150 only time to play huge fav ML imo is you are doing a parlay . Some books will let you do up to 15 team plarlay and others like 5Dimes will let you do a 25 team parlay. So just like the old football cards you would buy for #1 and selct all the NFL games for a decent payoff, even they clearly stated right on there, not for gambling purposes lol. So you lay down like 10 clams, pick a bunch of college and pro fav ML and if you hit, decent payoff, with low investment

Yep

Paper tigers. I have never heard that term before. I like it

I call them "Fall from grace teams"

Texans. Why im not saying the ravens is simple. Yes Tennessee exposed them but in the end. Who did they lose? No one big. In fact they gained alot.

Who did the Texans lose? Their main offensive weapon. I expect them to be a top 5 team in next years draft.

Vikings. Again. I can see the Packers here but Who did they lose?

Vikings lost 2 big pieces in Diggs and Griffen. I don't expect a small fall but they aren't making the playoffs

 

[Judge Fudge]

Both these teams will exceed expectations.

Interesting.

Who are your paper tigers if I may ask?

I used to sell those non gambling purpose football cards. Loved them. Easy way to gamble when we were young.

Absolutely and they made great scrap paper, but costly a $1 a sheet

I think the Ravens will get back at the Titans in the regular season. They will sweep the AFC South. But...

I think they lose at home to the Cowboys. It's in that post-Thanksgiving spot. Dallas was in a slump last year. I also think they lose at NE.

Ok, since the little discussion the other day about me having some personal connection to a NE player I got another.

The background is wife is a teacher and a teacher friend's dad played for NE. After playing days became a teacher. He must have played about 50 years ago. Last name Shonta. He bought her and her sister an ice cream place for their retirement. All I got from my old man was gas money for the moving truck.
