Far and away our most talented runningback. His combo of speed and agility was impressive

I would like to see more of Barber before I make that pronouncement. Although, I was very impressed with what I saw.

Here's a cautionary tale on betting on your team: I was sitting pretty on two parlays that required the over under for our game to stay between 66 and 73... And I was scared as shite I was going to lose it (at 72) when roc started showing his stuff

I wasn't a part of that. But I teased it up to 73 from 66 to take the under in another bet haha. Pretty proud of myself. Needed it after Oregon screwed me by a point and I lost a Stanford parlay just to break even

I have a good jimmy rustling thread going on the SEC Score board if you want to throw some fuel on the fire.

I agree, the kid has some great talent. I think he needs to learn not to be so aggressive approaching the line though and allow the line to do their job. He was so excited that he outran his blocks.

I told you to put it all on AU. That was the smart play and it was pretty much done by halftime.

Over was almost a coin flip as predicted. They don't fumble that punt and set us up on the 3 yard line, good chance the over doesn't hit.

Smart play was AU. Coin flip was the total. Like I said in that thread.

Do yall do a betting thread on the Auburn Board? We should do something like that every week, or can you find that elsewhere?

We never have, but someone usually starts a thread discussing the line or people talk about it in various threads.

I mostly just bet AU games and maybe 1 or 2 other SEC games a week.

Used to bet and have action all over the place, but I've learned over the years action for the sake of action is expensive. Now I just bet what I feel like I know well, which is usually about 1 bet per week and I stay in the SEC.

My brother and I kept book for about 10 years in our younger days. We lived off the guys who had to play the entire board. Then they would bet the Hawaii/Cal-State game late to try and catch up.

To be fair I thought you were asking what Auburn would score in a game. All you asked was O/U 66?

In that case I was correct.

Yeah, that was sorta me a while back. I just loved the action though. I would be out drinking and bet the west coast games just so I would have action at 1am. Over that now thankfully.

Yeah, I pretty much begged my buddy to load up on AU a few minutes before the game. Instead he sorta listened and put AU in about 5 parleys, but only hit 1 and lost big yesterday. Pissed me off after telling him from 9am to kickoff to take AU.

This week, before the lines are out, I think there will be big value on USCe against UGA. USCe didn't give a flip about yesterday. UGA is their redemption game and chance to get back in it and get their pride back after the AtM embarrassment.

Parlays are the biggest sucker bet evar. Any sucker playing parlays is just playing against themselves.

Won big last year parlaying us over Tennessee with the Mizzou over their opponent. I've never been so sure of something hitting in my life

I'm more of a teaser

Low risk, high reward...

I parlayed some NFL games today and have $1 down with a chance to win $20.

Do you really need the 20.00 or just enjoy the entertainment of betting?
