so can i?

if anyone has any recommendations let me know and if i like what you offer and you are a member i'll hook you up with a referral bonus

i live in the USA

used to use bodog years ago, but see it's been shut down
 
bodog is called bovada now

run by Native Americans I think, should be legit

im not a member though
 
yeah i was looking into bodeva

a friend just told me he likes 5dimes the best

i just want a site that will pay me when if win, hassle free

i miss betting on sports, and recently i've been red hot on games that i've liked....so naturally i'm due for a dry spell

this week i'm like steelers -6 @ tenn, denver +3 @ SD, and WVU -5.5 @ tex tech

how about you?
 
I dont bet on sports very much atm besides March Madness and NFL playoffs, and a fantasy team I treat like Ronco
 
^ the decision is to parlay them or bet on them individually

think i'll bet on all of them individually and parlay denver and WVU
 
mods please change title of thread to sports wagering

every week i'm going to call on one of you to make a bet for me, and regardless of how i feel about it, i'm going to drop 10-20 dollars on it

this weekend i want mike-o-mike to make a pick for me

thanks bro
 
atm falcons are 9 point favorites

and yeah it should be a blow out, but falcons have been looking vulnerable and raiders are coming off a bye and win vs pittsburgh, maybe dennis allen is starting to figure it out?

and no picking your favorite team plz

the only bet i made this year was raiders beating the dolphins and that didn't work out

i'll be damned if i get burned by oakland again
 
steelers -6 @ tenn, denver +3 @ SD, and WVU -5.5 @ tex tech

steelers could be a trap game cuz they have lost every single away game this season including a loss to the raiders. but titans have played like shit this season. Falcons played both chargers and broncos this season and broncos were way more competitive but division games can be unpredictable. college games are also really unpredictable and ive never seen texas tech play this year.
 
it's all unpredictable

i never really put much research into my picks and think 'trends' throughout the season or past seasons are completely meaningless...any given sunday man....i usually bet on my gut feelings or with my heart, since it's all a coin flip anyway

casinos and sportsbooks never fail to make millions and millions of dollars for a reason

odds makers know more about football than anyone, by light years
 
safest pick would probably be steelers even though they still havent won a road game. i would say WVU over texas tech but i'd never bet on a college game cuz there are a crazy amount of upsets most that make no sense at all.
 
^ how is falcons rush D, i feel like mccfadden is due for a huge week and what scares me about is atlanta is they are 5-0, it's hard as fuck to win 3 games in a row in the nfl no matter who you play, winning 6 in a row is more than double the craziness

nfl is just as, if not more unpredictable imo

cardinals winning at new england
seattle beating packers
redskins over the saints in week 1
vikings over the niners

crazy shit man
 
cardinals and seahawks have beastly defenses and patriots and packers both have shitty o-lines. packers just dont look the same this season. i think all those commercials they've been doing is effecting their game.

saints are just terble
 
i agree with all of that

but i honestly didn't see the nfc west making the massive strides in improvement that have this year, nor did i see the packers start off this slow

as much as i like talking football lets try to keep this is sports wagering as much as we can, we have many nfl threads

i'm guilty as charged
 
I'm not sure how it works in the US but is online gambling not completely banned over there? Is it just some states? Or is it just online poker thats banned?


Also, can you change the spread to whatever line you want, or do you have to take what they give you? e.g. if the main spread line is +2.5, is there the option of picking +4, +6, +7.5 etc etc?
 
this is from Bovada's website

Bovada.lv offers its customers pre-eminent sports betting opportunities across all major leagues, tournaments and events in North America, a thriving and dynamic poker community, and a full Vegas-style casino with web-based and downloadable games. It is operated by Meadway Leisure Limited ("Meadway") pursuant to a gaming license issued by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission, located in the Mohawk Territory of Kahnawake, Canada.

After reading up a bit on it I wouldnt use it if you live in the US. Maybe for some peanut bets but it sounds like its more of a hassle to get the money than itd even be worth.
 
^ what gives you the impression that it would be a hassle for them to honor earnings?

i dropped $25 on steelers -6.5 tonight, with a real person

don't give me more reasons to hate you pittsburgh
