Offical Sports Betting Thread

Where can I find updated odds on Wake winning the ACC championship? Everything I see is from the preseason.

My wife snagged a 200:1 ticket back in August and I'm curious what the current odds are.

Current odds from Circa Sportsbook:
Clemson -1200
UVA +1000
Wake Forest +5000
Miami +5000
VT +10000
Pitt +10000
Duke +10000
UNC +10000

So the answer would be 50/1.
 
Where do you guys do your betting ? For entertainment purposes only, obviously.
 
Bovada. Reasonably responsive lines each day/week on new spreads and never had an issue cashing out

I used to have an account with them years ago (shout out Bodog.com). How much of a pain is it to fund an account with Boavada?
 
Not bad - can use debit/credit although they give better promos and I’ve read it’s easier with bitcoin (never done that myself)
 
Local bookie through an online platform. Not the best/quickest lines, but pretty solid platform overall. I like not having to load up funds, like with Bovada. Just settle up if up/down more than the agreed amount.
 
Some "Bear Bytes" for the weekend compliments of the ESPN site:

Miami, post FSU game is now 1-5 ATS
Michigan St, when laying 14 pts or more is 1-6 ATS
Iowa a terrible road dog, 4-11 ATS
9 times an undefeated team on the road as a 3 pt or less fav is 7-2 ATS--this week Baylor fits that

Bear's underdog plays for the week: USF +105, FSU +110, Louisville +205, Duke +265 & Wyoming +400

4 team 14pt teaser: Clemson & over [should be around -18 & over 39-] plus Army & over -21 & over 48-]
 
USF already lost last night.

Ravens are 1-8 ATS the week after facing NE.

I don't know if you misheard or Bear misspoke, but Miami isn't 1-5 against the spread. They've beat the spread three of the last four weeks and won outright twice in a row as a road underdog.

I just know this because I've bet them three of the last four weeks (skipped Georgia Tech because of the massive line - thank goodness). Got them ML against UVA and FSU then took the spread against FSU as well plus Pitt. Perhaps more relevant to this week they are 2-4 ATS as a favorite (and 3-0 as an underdog). They covered against Bethune Cookman and Virginia.

Doofus has been doing an experiment for college basketball where he takes Vegas spreads that are five points or more off KP and Sagarin or 5 points off O/U from KenPom and betting them. He's something like 13-3 through the first three nights.

I think Pilch pointed this out earlier as well that Vegas isn't great at setting all the lines early on in the basketball season just because there are so many teams and changes.
 
The line moves are crazy right now. This morning I took Coppin State +28 against VT. The line is now 23.5. So, I took VT -23.5. Nice middle.

Can he/you post them here?!
 
Yeah I'll see if he will - if not I'll get him to shoot me picks when he remembers. I believe yesterday was the first sub .500 day but still went 3-4 if I recall his picks right.

Saw a lot of people jump on rumors that Kelly Bryant is out today and take Georgia.
 
Kicking myself for passing on two leans so far: Minnesota +7 and WKU +1.5.

Need Purdue to pick it up but that game has just been awful. Texas Tech is annihilating WVU
 
Clemson - NC State line is 34.5, which is 0.5 more points than Wake beat NC State by. You have to think Clemson knows the Wake score from last week and wants to beat that for the voters/committee. IOW, it's time for STYLE POINTS.
 
NW doinks a kick off the left upright with 2:30 left to keep their lead at 1. Barring a turnover for a TD gonna hit the Purdue +2 bet.
 
7-1 so far today. Lost KSU ML but still hit +7. Added App when they hit +7 since I had them at +2.5, also have Liberty +17 and Notre Dame -6.5

22890, his Bear Bytes were on Miami post FSU games, which is what I put out there. I had actually read it so it wasn't something I heard. He said they were 1-5 ATS the week after playing FSU. [they obviously did cover this game against Louisville yesterday so this went against the "byte". I also went back & found the ESPN post. It I below.:

"Post-Florida State letdown is real

Miami is 1-5 against the spread (ATS), with four outright losses, the week after playing Florida State over the past six years.
