I took that Seattle spread (I've only been doing this a month and learned me lesson quick, that hfa aint something to fukk with). But I learn fast, that Rams dline is a problem, earned back my chicken playing them today. But yea if betting becomes legal the ppl like your friend will be alot more rampant. Like I said I understand both sides and was trying to play a little devil's advocate. personally I'd want it to be legal. b/c I know how I'd fair with it but apart of me can't help but think about the ppl losing their kids college funds and mortgages over this shyt
It's all good, we're all learning every day. I've only been gambling since 2009, a lot more seriously in the past few years (since I found myself winning more and more despite the fact that I was placing some of the most negative expected value parlay wagers at Delaware Park) That Seahawks spread jumped out at me as the typical public bet based on the fact I remember Toure tweeting about how he couldn't believe the Seahawks didn't cover and I had to school him (as well as a gang of others who cosigned his view). It was actually sad to be honest because I've seen so many people in the sportsbook with the same thought process, unable and or unwilling to bet on your top teams, teams with good QBs as if the spread isn't the great equalizer and your "average" or "bad" teams don't cover spreads.
I honestly learned a lot about betting just from posting here and reading @Absolut 's post. Dude has given us invaluable lessons on this board and SOHH. Even leaked us wise guy/sharp picks and picks from Billy Walters. After a while I started to understand what goes into their decision making process. I've read a few books and have a good idea of what it takes to be a successful gambler.
yeah
ive learned alot as well, i reember years ago ohio state v wisconsin @kohl arena, absolut told everyone to play wisky, ohio state was ranked like number 1, i was like nah, ohio state was up 21 at on epoint and still lost
then kentucky v indiana 2 years ago, absolut said indiana i was like im taking kentucky, kentucky lost
if a spread is to good to be true it probably is
look at everoyne who took broncos -3, saw it 24-0 prob counted thier money (one thing you should never do) only to know getting burned
esp for college football
its like army v navy, army or navy can be 0-11 and the other team 11-0 but it doesnt matter the games are always close
People were in here dropping knowledge, I might have to look through this thread and read those postsfukk! Why the fukk did I chase this game
What'd you take it at? and on who?

Betting over under on the nfl is too risky I see. Tough to hedge because you will be dealing with single digits and even an extremely one sided first half in your favor could still lose.

That's not really hedging a bet in that situation imo. That's a different bet. I'd say pats on a fg but I wouldn't chase it.total right now is 65.5
yea I knew it wouldnt be a hedge, i stayed away
