I'm sure I'll lay $53 to win 48.something on V Tech to ensure i win something on this play, or should i be a man and let it ride, i know small numbers for most of you guys, but i was a college dropout
i completely flipped from early feelings and played WVU +8.5 (you wager) and the over. threw this parlay out there for extra action

VTech +3
Steelers +8
Atleast if the parlay doesn't hit you still win $105, If Kansas wins by field goal you lose nothing.
P.S. by the way, Steeler's will be my "Lion" teaser play this week at home. Revenge + 8 points, Please.
i really lie the V Tech ML that would give me a chance at hitting both (a very slim one)
now in hindsight i should have slapped the Kansas ML in there instead of the three points and the payout would be even higher
i do feel confident about this pick as i have doubted the play of the V Tech QBs all season. it feel like a good play afterBig 12 Mizzou destroyed Arkansas but then Big 12 Oklahoma got crushed last night. crazy regular season and the bowl games are more of the same
at this point, when i have more than doubled my bankroll this season (easy to do when you start with 1K), adding to it is always my goal.
i'll turn the profit on this game and then half will go to the bankroll and the other half will be split into 2 or 3 other parlays
when i have successful seasons like this, i get silly at the end of the year while keeping, this year, a 125% profit...slightly beating the stock market
are you as nervous about this Saturday night as I am
O-line has sucked all year and now they are banged up
Troy, if he plays, will be less than 100%
just seems like a lot of obstacles stacking up against our boys
I think that's the best plan giving you the best chance to win two bets. The only bad situation I could see arising is for Va Tech to be up huge at the half, you make a play either on Va Tech 2nd half and they end up not covering but Kansas doesnt cover the original 3. The best opportunity would be for Kansas to be up big and you make a hedge bet on Va Tech and they cover the 2nd half spread but dont win the game.
Good luck with whatever you choose. I would pop into the chat room at halftime and see what people think.
well it is a lesson learned, never thought of hedging the bet by waiting til the second half...
someone tell me the second half line was V Tech -11 so it would have pushed.....ha ha part 2
thanks for the insight guys, part of what makes this site the best F-ing thing on the internet
i forgot all about bowl season when i took this job AARGGHHHH!!!
I only laid $40 on V Tech and bought it to 2.5
Rez and Pure
thanks for the help...sorry i couldn't respond to your posts
or win money by reading them!!!!
I'll take a guess and say 2nf half line was 6.5, couldn't have been 7 flat right?
if someone, anyone could post what it was i would appreciate it....add to my misery
story of my life
i have to work twice as hard as Thunder when capping on my own, his is all luck
