    Okay lets see if I get an reply this way How's beaver ball treating you. Not even any talk about NFL futures. I think Detroit is to high at 8.5 -155 but also think the juice is high so considering 8 -105 and I think Carolina Over 8.5 +115 is the way to go. I hate betting overs before NFLX is over because of injury's but I may have to jump on this one. July 31st is coming up who's the Buyers and sellers and if you owen the Tigers would you trade Price now and get a boat load but most likely give up the playoffs this year without a chance of signing him next year. I say never but you should never say never. Players get all star breaks gamblers don't. Have a good day

    Why do you think they have no chance of signing Price? Tigers are a franchise that's shown in the past they will overpay for a player they want and Dominos guy has no shortage of $$$

    7 weeks until CFB, and I cant wait. The all-star break, to me, begins the uptick in the sports betting season. You have more meaningful baseball games coming up, then you get training camps starting and fina-freaking-ly some football back in our lives. Then you kick off a great fall lineup with CFB, NFL, holidays with friends and family, with everything cresting in November and December when you get meaningful late season NFL, CFB, CBB, NHL, NBA, and I'm sure plenty else I'm forgetting. Once Christmas hits we begin the slow descent back into less and less, as CFB winds down and NFL ends and were left with the NBA/NHL playoffs until they finish. Once that's over with I start counting down the days until the all-star break and then we start back over again. No real point to any of this, just gets me excited to think about it. Sometimes at the beginning of each season I think, there are going to be so many lucky-ass covers and horrible beats to come, is it all worth it?

    Because the return to a legitmate contender next year may give the tigers propests that will help them re-load as opposed to re-build. There Pitching staff is Price, Verlander and Sanchez. IMO Verlander will never be the same pitcher he was I'm not saying he's done but he's become a middle of the rotation pitcher who's 32 and on the down side of his career after pitching over 200 innings his last 8 years in a row.
    I watch a lot of Tiger games and can't tell how many times I seen Detroit with an 8-1 lead and Verlander coming out for the 7 or 8th inning.

    Sanchez is 31 and before this year has had 50 starts and is pitching well this year but seems to get hurt often. After that the rest haven't proven anything and the bullpen still sucks an issue they really should have address stronger in the last off season. If they sign Price IMO it would be a mistake becomes it won't get them we they want to go. They had a nice run of hitting and scoring runs right after Miggy got hurt Trust me look at that line up that won't continue.

    Rondon may help and I like they got Feliz. JD Martinez,Cespedes, I like Kinsler but to bad V.Martinez won't be on the field and as far as a DH He's played 56 games this year with 5 HR's 30 Rbi's 17 W's and 21 K's. He may not be able to play as he once did ever again .He's needed for Miggy not saying Miggy needs anyone but with Martinez like this it makes it easier to pitch to Miggy. IMO it's the right move at the right time to get younger and you have 2 players and with begining with price and possibly Cespedes to fill a huge need. I would be willing to bet that Price won't be a Tiger next year. I could be wrong but I've lost bets before.

    They have a very small window. Cleveland was a team to watch it just didn't work out could be next year. Kansas city will be a round for a while and Minnesota even though I think they're going to fold the 2nd half it's a team to watch next year. Same thing with the White Sox they also were a team to watch and became a bust could also be next year. Detroit might find the bottom of the division the next few years if they don't make some changes now. 21 saves 10 Blown saves 22 QS out of 88 games they need changes and have to give to get while they can.

    PS Good talking to you dog hope all is well.

    Good Luck with your football Stjoe it's just not for me. I make a play or two mostly a teaser or two in the NFL and maybe a play or two in college. Can't beat the NFL you can beat college but you have to be the first on your block and not chase steam or limits will be nothing and you'll always be taking the worst of the number. But good luck Lots of work and be ready it moves fast.

    120th ranked player out of 160 golfers in this field LAYING -200 to make the cut. He was a small favorite to make the cut at the US Open. They doubled his price in less than a month when he couldn't do it versus a similar field there. I bet they still had action on Yes to make the cut.

    I couldn't believe it when I saw the price.

    Thanks OT. I certainly dont originate many winners in football, maybe the occasional CFB play of my own but usually I'm leaning on all the good posters here. I've had some luck with moneyline plays in the NFL, a few years ago i did a boring pool where you just pick the winner of games and I won it so i figured maybe if I bet moneylines instead of spreads ill have more luck. Anyway, good luck with bases and glad that you're keeping the lights on here during the slow season.

    Looked into the Panthers play of Over 8.5... Below is me being a pessimistic (in particular the 3 home losses to GB/Indy/Hou) about their results and I still have them winning 9 games this season. Their schedule just seems really favorable this year with two games against Tampa, road game against Jacksonville, home game vs Washington, Road game vs Tennessee. They have two very tough road games vs Dallas and Seattle but every other road game looks winnable. They face some stiff competition in Houston, Indianapolis, Green Bay and Philadelphia but again those are all at home and very winnable. I think getting +115 at 8.5 is value, definitely see them getting 9 wins or more 50%+ of the time.

    vs Houston L
    vs NOLA W
    @Tampa W
    @Seattle L

    http://espn.go.com/chalk/story/_/id/13273921/bettors-back-tiger-woods-make-cut-open

    "Bettors believed Tiger Woods would make the cut this week at The Open. It could prove costly.

    Before the tournament, Woods was listed as a minus-190 favorite to make the cut at St. Andrews by William Hill's Nevada sportsbook. In the hours leading up to the tournament, 97 percent of the money wagered on the prop bet backed Woods to make the cut.

    While 97 percent of the money was on Woods to make the cut, 53 percent of the overall number of bets were on him missing the cut, an indication that the bigger money was on "Yes." The average bet on the "No" ended up being under $50 while the average on the "Yes" was a couple hundred dollars.

    Woods, who missed the cut at the U.S. Open, began Friday's weather-hampered second round at 4-over. He teed off at 1:10 p.m. ET and will be pressed to finish his round because of a three-hour morning rain delay that pushed back tee times.

    The projected cut line was hovering around even par as the late groups began to tee off.

    Woods also attracted plenty of money to win the tournament. He was tied with Louis Oosthuizen for fifth in terms of money wagered at William Hill to win the tournament."
