Colin's blazing 5 picks are quite good. He's a pretty sharp guy, and thinks about games correctly. He's beaten the spread for a decent clip in the NFL over the long term. You can learn a thing or two about betting by listening to him.

Yea, I've always like Colin, and am pretty stoked he's got his show every Sunday prior to the games start. It's something I'll be looking to try and tune into, if the kid allows me to.
Week 4 match ups are as difficult as week 3. Not many stand out as typically would, not a ton of mismatches. Where I got a leg up in Carbon land, Bovada still sucks. Here is where I stand after week 3.
Bovada: -237.60
Carbon: +39.00
Overall - 198.60
Not the start I was looking for, but hopefully can gain some ground with some wins the next couple of weeks. Will post some thoughts on Sundays action probably friday/saturday.
Alright people. Here is what I have so far for my bigger bets. I may add a couple smaller value parlays here and there later on, we shall see.

use a bet sequence with your teaser bets!
I think it would be more profitable for you as long as you keep your win % over 50%...which u seem to be doing easily on your teaser bets.
if you want to gamble you could use a double up ..
or grind out money with a plus 1 unit on a loss /minus 1 unit with a win?
example----- bet 50 lose ---bet 100 lose----bet 150 win---bet 100 win . you lose twice and win twice but are up $100

This entire season has been absolutely piss poor on my betting. It seems that I have cornered myself into a wall, where if I don't win my two big bets this week, I will be toning down my bet amounts big time and just taking the losses at the end of the year.
Here is where the financials stand to date:
Bovada: -287.60
Carbon: -61.00
Overall - 348.60
Here are the match ups I'll be looking to tease 10 points on this week.
Denver vs ARZ - They both are off their byes, but it's Denver. The lines aren't even out yet on Carbon, and Peyton has always done well after his bye. I'm buying.
DET vs Buf - Det is hosting Buffalo, who is starting their backup QB for the first time this year. Detroit's defense is for real, finally. To top things off, they get a win last week with Calvin being nothing but a decoy. He is already probable, and will be a factor.
Saints vs TB - TB screwed me last week, or Pit did, whatever. Anyways, Saints are typically great at home. I feel like Brees will get back on track and remember he's got a stud TE to throw a ton to. They will come out with the W.
Seattle @ Wash - I know it's a west coast team going to the east, but I have next to no respect for Washington. They are a mess. To top things off, Seattle is coming off an early bye. More prep time + bad team = win.
Cincy @ NE - prob wont pull the trigger on this game, but the Pats are just looking bad. Cincy has looked good so far this year, but I do like other match ups more than this one.
I will prob pull the trigger on a couple bets Friday/Saturday. Weather is starting to happen a bit more as well, so that is something I will be keeping an eye on (hello dome games). Lets finally get a clean sweep weekend... my BR needs it.

So I'm a Saints fan, and obviously they play much better under the dome... but this game has me seriously nervous. Despite all the offseason upgrades the defence has somehow gotten worse, and while they got the home win against Minnesota it wasn't that convincing.
They're at -10 right now, and only getting $1.19 SU... I'm sincerly hoping they prove me wrong, but that all looks pretty ugly to me.
c9h13no3 said:
So if I quit now, that's got me in a profit of my entire 1.5 year 'career' in sports betting. Promise to pay up?
But if I would quit now, then I wouldn't lose in the future. Do you have someone else handy to take enjoyment from their misery? I wouldn't want to leave you hanging...

Oh you know he wouldn't think about a bet like that...

The line is getting even bigger. I am not a believer in that Tampa Bay team, especially with the Saints at home. Tampa scores rarely, and typically in garbage time. I just feel like Brees is coming home and is going to start a streak of break out games to possibly save their season.
Go big or go home, right?
I'm feeling pretty confident this week, so it's now a make it or break it week. If I go down this week then I will probably chalk it up as loses and continue on my marry way elsewhere. But lets not think of it like that. Lets think of the wonderful grounds I will catch up on when these bets win out. And lets think of the wins next week as well to finally pull me out of the negatives. Good news is regardless, I just deposited a withdraw from Bovada this morning. Love only have put up 150 bucks in online gaming over the last 10 years and withdrawing much more than that. Anyways, here are the two big bets this week in my respective bankrolls.
Bovada:
3 Team Teaser
New Orleans Saints -1 Oct 05/14@01:00p
Competitor: Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Denver Broncos +2½ Oct 05/14@04:05p
Competitor: Arizona Cardinals

Bet US$ 150.00

Three OT games in the 1:00 batch and I had to bet on 2 of them... ugh...
Edit: check that, Detroit just has given up the entire second half to lose the game by 3... Way to go Detroit, way to go...
Edit x2: sweated out the Saints victory, but they score 6 and don't even give the Bucs the option to come back. Phew...

Half time report:
SD is up with a commanding lead, 21-0. I wouldn't be surprised to see Vick in a little bit in the 2nd. I mean if not now, then when right?
Broncos start out with the ball to begin the second half with a 21-13 lead. Peyton has 2 picks, but he also has 3 TD's. Things look pretty good for Den to win, especially if Peyton puts up 7 on the first drive in the 2nd.
LETS GO LETS GO LETS GO!!
Edit: I never wish harm on any of the players, but when money is on the line, I love seeing backup QB's in, and they're both in for the opposing teams. Giddyup!!

Thanks in large part to Detroits kicker missing all 3 FG attempts in a freaking dome, my push gets logged as a loss. Their complete collapse in the second half was pathetic, at best. At least I got one of them to pay me off. Unfortunately it looks like I will be sticking to just Bovada betting instead of bringing in Carbon. I wont be able to include the Thursday games, for the rest of the lines wont be out by then, but I will be able to include some over/unders. Here are where the financials stand:
Bovada: -151.24
Carbon: -211.00
Overall - 362.24
Will prob just stick with the overall losses/wins for I will only be on Bovada from here on out. Going to have to bink some poker games to get the BR back up in Carbon again. Here's to next week :ridinghor
Haven't had a lot of opportunity to research the games this week, for my family and I are on the opposite side of the states for a mini vacation. Have been doing a lot of playing with the baby and not a lot of sports watching. With sticking on one bankroll, I will be only doing one big bet this week. Here's my 3 leg 10 point teaser for this week:

I know they are a "new" team with this running game they have, but Romo will be taken out completely due to the 90% chance rain/wind.
The way I see it, Seattle Offense > Dallas Defense, and Seattle Defense > Dallas Offense minus their pass game. Even with their pass game, I like Seattle at home outright, but the rain is the icing on the cake for me.
LETS GO LETS GO LETS GO!!
