My nephew told me he won 50 bucks on the Ramblers last game. He placed the bet AFTER the game had already started (I didn't know you could even do that.) His point spread was -8.5 while pregame was -6.5 iirc.

Don't think I didn't notice. But revenge is a dish best served cold, so justice will be served in due course.

Yeah, I’ve been pretty successful betting Loyola lines, and also taking the under due to how good our defense has been

I think if Porter needs to fire the guys up for this weekend "ASPIRE TO DAYTON-LEVEL RELEVANCE!!" should do the trick.

You inspire me, 2794!

Now if we can only get Streak to compose some equally stirring rallying cries. He is fluent in turgid business-speak so this is right up his alley!

Live, in-game betting is an interesting, dangerous, and very real thing. During the Kansas State/Oklahoma football game last fall Kansas State was only trailing by a touchdown in the second half, but still huge underdogs to win at +1500. I figured it was worth the risk of a dollar, but accidentally added a zero to make it ten. That was the happiest mistake I’ve made in a while.

I'm obviously not a betting man, so I don't know what "+1500" means. It couldn't mean 1500 to 1 odds so that your $10 bet paid $15,000, could it?
That would be crazy.

Odds like that are based off of $100 bets, so +1500 means that a $100 bet would win you $1500 more than you bet. So on a $10 bet that’s $150 (and a $1 bet would be $15)

So it's the same system I use for expressing my IQ and penis size.

I assumed you had a high IQ based on the quality of your posts. But now I'm having doubts about the second part. Maybe IQ and penis size are inversely correlated...
