Not sure who all has BetRivers, but Iowa is -20.5 right now. Other books don’t have a line up yet, and 5dimes had Iowa -14.5 earlier this week.
If anyone is looking for new ways to torture terrorists and criminals for information, I recommend forcing them to try to place any live parlay bet for football................
Possibly one of the most frustrating experiences you can put a human being through.
If it were as simple as telling the sports book to stop changing and closing the damn odds of a game every 2.5 seconds, or telling people around the world to stop live betting the games I am trying to place a measly bet in, for 10 damn seconds, then I would certainly do that.............unfortunately, it can't be that simple now can it.

Well, at least I was able to get Purdue TT over 23.5 +105 at halftime. It salvaged my lost parlay that MN screwed by waiting until the 2nd quarter to go up more than 9.5!
Thank you, Portland State. Goal to go at the 1 with 4 seconds left and instead of kicking a FG, they ran another play to try to get a TD. And failed.
UNDER 52 is still alive!!

Great games tonight… could only keep tabs on my phone until 10ish. Like I suspected, there were lots of opportunities for live betting. PSU was +800 on Purdue’s second to last drive before the officials overturned the ruled completion by the TE. I was happy just taking the FanDuel boost of WVU +7.5 at +125. Funny how the spread of both big games were decided by the hook. Vegas still amazes me.
Just one play for tomorrow:
Illinois ML
Illinois ML
I can fix that.
If I put money on both PSU -3.5 and Purdue +3.5, reality would find a way to break and keep me from winning money.
Last night: 3-1 +1.82u
CFB 2022: 5-2 +2.79u
CFB 2022: 5-2 +2.79u
I have Illinois +3. I bet a few days ago.
Can't find anything else right now.
Edit: thinking about betting on Sonny Gray against the White Sox. I like him. I have not pulled the trigger yet.

Great games last night!
2-0 on PSU -3.5 and WV +7.5.
Love Illinois straight up tonight, and also going to make a small play on Michigan St -21.

went 3-1 last night. Had PSU -3.5, WVU +7.5, and Campbell -9.5. Also had Fresno -40.5.
Tonight I have TCU 1Q -3.5 -110 and Illinois ML +100

WV salvaged the day. Narduzzi now 5-16 ATS at home when favored by 7 or more, 6 outright losses.
Throwing it out there…. There is a guy on the rivals main board who organizes an NFL survivor pool. It’s $11 to enter and winner takes all. I think last year there were over 1200 entrants so a very nice size pot. Can share the details of anyone wants them
I bet the Twins first 5 @ -145. I know I am giving away juice but I am comfortable making the bet this way rather than run line or total on the first five. Also, I don't trust the Twins bull pen.
Btw, I'm experimenting with a slow burn strategy for tonight's games. Just playing small bets for this.
I want to focus mainly on games with the same odds that way the payouts are always the same. Trying to play games with -110 odds for each spread line.
I'll bet $3 on the spread I like the most, and $2 on the hedge.
If I played 5 games, and went 3-2, I would technically be behind by about $0.18, but that's better than placing 5 bets straight up, and getting nothing for those 2 losses. The point is that I'll always get something back.
The slow burn is the fact that I also won't be winning much. But I'm still trying to pick the correct spread each time (i.e. 5-0 ideally in this example). So each time I go 5-0 or 4-1, I'm profiting, and each time I do worse, I still don't have to chase as much to recover.
Again, this is just a side experiment. We'll see how it goes when put into action..........(probably horribly, but that's why we do this)

- If you forget to make your pick or have technical difficulties, I WILL be able to help this year up to 1230 EST on Sunday.
- The last person standing wins the entire pot…unless there are multiple people remaining after the Super Bowl OR the last remaining people all get eliminated in the same week.

I honestly think it’s easy money taking the Bunnies. I have a two game parlay taking the Jacks at +18.5 and UNI at +16.5 against Air Force.
Good CLV, the Iowa line is moving a LOT. 14.5 the last time I checked on BR.
I’m an NDSU fan and they have a snoozer against Drake tomorrow, so SDSU/Iowa will be one of my top games to watch tomorrow.
Probably assuming our passing game is gonna be trash and therefore keep the scoring down/margin much closer.
I think the only times I don't get college games are when they're in-state teams playing in my home state (Virginia).
On the plus side, I'm now 1-0 all time betting on tennis. I bet against Serena.
I don't live in Illinois or Indiana. I also don't see the Iowa game tomorrow? Never had any issues in the past. DraftKings has everything
Weird. Looking at Twitter it seems everyone has the same problem.
If you missed out on betting on Illinois, congrats. You saved your money!!!
Fat Bret's team chokes again.

I had Illinois ML… after IU got a first down I cashed out for about 50% winnings, like winning a -200 bet. I hate doing that, but it was the right call tonight.If you missed out on betting on Illinois, congrats. You saved your money!!!

I have a feeling Illinois is gonna be a very frustrating team to watch this year, because they're bad enough that they can lose to an awful Indiana team on any given Saturday, but they absolutely will win a game like Penn State last year just to piss everyone off.
Just so long as they win 4 more games this season, then we’re good. They kinda needed that one tonight though.

I put $ on the ML when they went down a score in the 2nd. It felt to me that Indiana's offense did nothing until that last drive for the go-ahead score. Pretty typical start for me
Hit my teaser of pitt/wv over 44 and Illinois +8.5 for -140. I'll take it
I see Iowa is bet down to -13.5. No bet for me though.
I have Utah @ -2 and -2.5. I saw it at -2 yesterday afternoon and I bet it again. I might be a fool.
Took James Madison - Middle Tennessee State over 59.
Also have a little on Utah ML.
