Weekend game lines :)

Putting the entire bankroll on this Sunday and Monday.

Seattle, Cinncinnati and Carolina will cover the spreads Sunday.
Indianapolis will cover the spread Monday, and the over is my bet also.

Well, you have a chance to catch me now - after I went ohfer on Thanksgiving.

Indianapolis will cover the spread Monday, and the over is my bet also.

While I think Indy will win by 10, and are capable of putting up 47 by themselves, it'll be interesting to see how they do coming off a game (cincy) where alot of folks picked the unbeaten streak to end. Will there be a let down? I'd think not since this would be a statement game for them like the pats game.

Also, their D didn't look to snazzy that game. If they don't stop the steelers run game, the over might be in danger since the steelers will grind out the run and eat clock. Put that with Ben coming in after 2 weeks off and you are gonna see alot of fast Freddie and the Bus grinding the run. IMO, the over/under will be within 5 points +- of the line.

The big question is how big ben is gonna do after 2 weeks off.

Difficult one to call.

Bleh...

Push on Carolina, Win on Cinncinnatti, and a long drawn out Loss on the Seattle spread.

I hope the Colts take care of business tomorrow night, or I will have to revise my manner of predicting wins, and throw out these tea leaves.

Figures the first time I bet against my beloved Chiefs, they show up to play :p

As there was no winner on the Carolina/Buffalo game, is the original bet not returned? I thought I got money back on a previous push, but can not be positive. Anyway, just checking, since that would be another $500 in my roll.

I believe pushes are supposed to be a "house" win. If not, I've got a couple from the past I'm owed on as well. :devil

If there are any winning items, pushes have gone to the house. If there are only 2 things to bet on such as a monday night game with only 2 teams, there is an option to make a push return the cash. That's how I've been handling it.

I'm been thinking about, and believe I am gonna do a half point to the team the public isn't on (ie; the public is betting heavily on one side, and the line is an even number, I'd add a .5 point to the team the public isn't on.) This would eliminate the "push" bets going to the house (until someone invents a way to score a half point :p ) and encourage betting on the other side.

Thoughts?

The .5 sounds like a workable option, as long as it does not cause you too much grief since you are the one that has to make adjustments.

As for the overall question on pushes, I was simply unclear, and wanted to be.

No more real work. I usually look who the public is on the games I am capping :) A game here or there a week wont be but a few more clicks :)

*nod*
I never explained how a "push" would be handled. Vegas says pushes go to the house, but my personal feelings are they shoul be a no loss/no win thing. There just isn't an easy way to deal with em on a bet where there are multiple games without me nagging the hell out of 'check so I worked off what I stated above.

Adding the .5 point makes it interesting since we've had at least 5 "pushes" on the multi team bets this football season.
