Well it was that earlier today, but I didnt post it. Actually it is listed as such on the liens page right now<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

They also had the Terp total open at 46 but I didn't post it because it WAS NOT available ANYWHERE at that number when I posted my play.

I know it's just a silly contest but "Cherry Picking" lines just ain't right.

Over Dallas 188.5

Bet-Rio

YTD 0-0

Well I cant change it now, but the line is +6 at pinnacle right now, so it isnt that far off anyway.

I do agree that we need to just pick one book and take the liens from that book or just take the opening lines from that page. That is what I thought that we were doing, taking the lines that was listed first. I will say that I saw the +6.5 at Rio earlier today though on the site, but wanted to wait and check out the Minnesota game first before picking which game to take.

We really just need to take the lines from one place

I'm not picking on ya buddy ... I've played in a few of these pick fests before and people ALWAYS try to get an edge by "cherry picking."

It would make more sense for all the fish to swim in the same pond with opening lines posted in a daily thread.

or at least ... stipulate that it is OK to use the best line you can fish off the "live lines" area regardless of whether you can or cannot play it at the time of your post.

Just thought I'd bring it up early for some possible feedback. I hate to see these contests turn into a line shopping contest and not a handicapping challenge.

Shouldnt matter either way, since i have already parlayed Houston at the moneyline along with the UNDER HUGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEE!!

Then I parlayed Houston moneyline with Sacramento at pick

This will settle things, the line at intertops right now is +6.5, so I could have put intertops if that would have made a difference. I just wanted to use Rio if possbile, but consider intertops at +6.5 for my pick.

Intertops is ALWAYS rough on favorites! Great place to play if you play dogs in football

I assumed the spirit of the rule was so that we're posting a best bet that is available at the time of the post; figuring that Rx wants a little publicity with all these sharp-sucks giving money away to anyone who wants to play along.

Kiss raises an important policing issue, but if we're just going to jump on opening lines which have long moved-off and no one else can follow, then we lose that very valuable public service.

And btw, where was the Terps bloody offense in the 2nd half?!

Pittsburgh under 192.5 Canbet. Hey, that's what is on the screen.

VVV

HateTheRiverCard · Nov 14, 2003

LOL.. I assume you know thats a bad line and should be 129.5.

HTRC

vinividivinci · Nov 14, 2003

LOL - Go to the very first post under this topic. The answer is there and is crystal clear.

VVV

Pretending · Nov 14, 2003

VVV, I hope you still like Pitt under 129.5 because this group will surely nulify the 192.5.

Why would you want a cheap win anyway? should be a gentlemen's contest imo.
