Ben Roethlisberger \"unlikely to play\" Thursday
 

I don't know if the lines have moved yet or not.

From blackandgoldinsider.com:

BlackandGoldInsider.com will update you later this evening, but right now close sources tell us that Ben Roethlisberger is highly unlikely to play this Thursday against Miami in the season opener.

We are hearing that he is in surgery as we speak (nothing to related to Motorcycle Accident).

link? this seems weird for this info to be out and the lines still havent been pulled

Re: Ben Roethlisberger \"unlikely to play\" Thursday
 

ignore my "link" request, the line has moved to 4, but if this info was credible it would almost definately get pulled for a while til they sort it out

k, line got moved as low as -2.5 before finally getting pulled, I assume no one will be able to do the mansion free bet anymore?

Mansion put out a hit isn't it obvious.

Couldn't they still do the free bet with an adjusted line? That's what I would assume.

they could i guess, although theres no telling how long the line will be off

It was just on ESPN. Charlie Batch will be the QB. Ben Roethlisberger will not play, they did not say doubtful the said "Will Not"

Wow. I think the word is unfcukingbelievable. Here's to everyone who actually hedged this bet. I semi-hedged to win $400 if Miami covers.

I guess his appendix wasn't wearing a helmet.

That is rotten luck. I was all set to make the bet on Friday, but they pulled it until Monday. I am anxious to see what happens. I would hope that they still do the bet, but with the revised line. When do you think that the revised line will be out?
