Anyone got any bets on the game today?

 

I put in a 3 leg parlay of TD by both Marsh/Beebe and IU -27.5 first half.

 

$25 pays a little over $100.  I'm horrible at betting so maybe I'll get lucky.

You're obviously not enough of a degenerate to be good at this.

Sammy, I like the parlay, if for no other reason than it keeps you watching football all day.

I put this in the wrong thread first.

Rutger is -43.5 against Howard.  I think I might have to put some money on Howard.  The total is 55.5 and that might get a few dollars sprinkled on the over.

The house always wins.  Parlays make their odds even better.

Good luck, though.

Of course the house always wins, they'd be out of business otherwise.

But they won't win every wager. And since much of betting is against the picks of the other players, a subset of bettors are profitable.  Less than 10% I'm sure.

Government regulations in general made things worse. Rake and takeout became higher, harming the players. Not just to pay for the regulation which increases costs, but also the favored businesses now have protection, so there is less competition, again allowing higher prices and worse service. Of course to the regulation advocates those things are features not bugs.
