For the record tonight... Tampa sucks... lol

Don't know what was easier... over in the 2nd half or LA in the 2nd half? Anyway, that's all for tonight. Everyone enjoy Easter Sunday and I'll see you again Monday night for the Vegas/SJ game.

Monday Night Football Card!
Las Vegas (+6) vs. San Jose (4 units -105)

Adding: Will more than 2.5 players throw a pass? YES (1/2 unit +304): Just a percentage play here. If the game's a blow out, we win. If a QB gets hurt, we win. If there's a trick play, we win. If there's a fake FG, we win. Odds have it we're gonna lose, but in more than 1 out of 4 games, especially of this magnitude, we'll see someone pull something tricky out of their hats.

Pinny's hanging tough - I bet $50 on your suggested prop

and they didn't move the line!

Seriously, take another look at either team wins by less than 8.5
(at +123); this is equivalent to a same-game teaser skewed
toward LV and paying 5 to 4.

Good Luck to us tonight!:103631605

Pinny really can't move this line. If they do, they're gonna get no pounded and probably lose a boat load. They'd almost certainly rather try to keep the same price and claim the money off of it. If they move it under +250, it'd be nuts. But don't "expect" the money to cash. This is one of those plays that is going to make my percentage record look at bit worse... that's why tonight when I do the recap I'm going to do a total plays percentage, which is what I have now, and a "sides + totals" more or less "ATS" figure. As far as the 8.5 points... I just don't know. Just not real comfortable taking this bet when I believe that Vegas is gonna kill San Jose... I really do think they're gonna win this game comfortably. So for now, I pass unless I see something otherwise I like going into the game.

Degenerate... I'd lean under, but it's no more than a lean. I won't play it, that's for sure. I'd rather put my money into LV moneyline...

Speaking of which, on my card for tonight, I left that out...

Vegas ml (+139 1/2 unit)

Yeah, I noticed. The steam here has been interesting to say the least. I'd rather let it pan out and find out who was right in this case. Steaming numbers have been really hit and miss when the steam starts during or after Thursday morning, particularly the closer to kickoff the game gets. If you're a fan of the game as a whole though, no bets needed for this to be a great game. Sit back and enjoy this one gentlemen. Should be a great game.

Back around game time.

Anybody notice the line moving to -3 anywhere?

I played large in order to layoff some but will retain
most - go LV!

This is a terrible AFLNet cast, but I'll do the best I can... anyone else here for updates?

Good enough... I hate Andrew Siciliano calling this game though... killing me already and we haven't even gotten to the Star Spangled Banner yet...

is there a way to automatically refresh the thread or must it be

done manually?

Can't get the AFLNet to work consistently, but the Kitties are about to score... 1st and goal on the 3.
