    I am a rookie to this contest, and I'm a little surprised how many bets are the 500 bets. I hedge it a lot more than that...500 if I feel strongly, 100 if I'm just rolling the dice, and everything in between. But who knows, my strategy may fail and I may have to start going in with more 500 point shots. Especially if Fish has many more thousand point games...

    Finally, the time has come that I can make multiple bets and actually be engaged in all the games I'm betting on. Acc play, a welcome sight.

    After flaming out wildly the first year we did this (two years ago?), I decide to pull the old War Games route: the only winning move is not to play. Rather than bog up the leader board with weekly zeros, I check in at the end of the season to see how my strategy worked.

    *shrugs* I'm not a full blown degenerate for this game I suppose.

    Have fun, all! Keep my seat warm.

    Oh man! I am completely winning the race to the bottom with a 1-5 morning session and -900 on the day for my efforts. Missed one of the o/u by 1 pt (as if that would have made a difference! Completely in last place already.

    GT looks poised to get back 400 of it for me with the over and -7.5. Over already a win and GT is up 11 with 0:54 remaining.

    I am really, really bad at this.

    I was robbed! 10:30 last night I submitted a boatload of picks. Covers ignored me. Of course, system error. No way I did anything wrong at 10:30 on a Friday night. 😬

    And Jason "I am just as bad at this as is BandAlum83" Evans shoves past me on his way to the basement!

    I shoulda been so lucky...I totally misread the tea leaves on Cheat-Pitt...so I deserved that pain...but I had the other games nailed, and while I won them all against the spread, lost the two OU's by a point each basically. Neither ND nor BC managed to score anything in the final minute and a half...against defenses that were not going to risk a foul. With 2 minutes to go, I thought I was golden. Uh, no....revenge of the gamblin gods!!!!!

    Wow, was up over 1,000 but FSU’s stinker really tanked me. Need the Devils to cover and hit the over, or it’s gonna be ugly.

    I have Clemson +16, and over 151.5.

    I feel pretty good about the over, but not so sure Duke won’t cover.

    What do y’all have?

    Only one game today, Miami v Louisville. O/U at 142.5.

    Did Miami stop playing defense? 😁

    o/u now at 138.5, both teams are pushing 80 pts a game. I took the over on that pretty happily.

    I got in on the over at 136.

    Is there something going on we don’t know about?

    Dude, I'd have to climb a ladder now to reach your seat....yesterday I just missed the zeitgeist of two games badly...then on the other four, I had rotten luck. Lost a few OUs by nothing, and as luck would have it, I lost on the 400-500 bets and won the 100-200 bets. I'm as upside down as a 72 month lease on a 94 Corolla....

    Guess not, they're at 112 with 11 minutes to go. Must be people were thinking they were feasting on cupcakes, forgetting that they're each still playing a not so good team tonight.
