Default I got 1500$ I want to gamboool on a bowl game, help me pick which

I just had a ludicrously hot night at Full Tilt yesterday, and pocketed a little more than 1500, now I want to gambool it up a bit, since I'm just playing with the houses money. I'm a bit new to this, so which do you think of the two of these games? Or any other better suggestions?

My first choice is 1500 on Ohio State, with the money line cause I'm a puss, netting me 515 dollars

Other is LSU, where 1500 would only net me 394.

Any other suggestions? Or does either of these look good?

Holla

Take a look at:

Rutgers over Kansas State at -7
Boston College over Navy at -6

Game I feel best about:

Virginia Tech over Georgia at -3

Game to take a risk on:

Boise State over Oklahoma (Go with the moneyline which should be around +250)

No. Bet the UNDER 51 on Oklahoma/Boise State. Boise is a grind it out on the ground team this year. Oklahoma's D is very fast and bigger than Boise's OL. This is bad for them moving the ball/scoring. Boise has NOT seen a defense remotely like this, OU's D has been lights out since the Oregon game. They have only allowed more than 21 twice since, 28 to Texas, which included a DTD, and was founded on 5 OU TOs (Texas had 230 yards of offense), and 24 to TTech, 14 of which was direct turnover gift, and included a second half shutout. They held Nebraska to 7, A&M to 16, CU to 3, MU to 16, OSU to 21, etc. Plus, OU has been very conservative and ground based on offense, particularly after taking a lead. With both teams running, the game will be short.

OU hasn't had a game go over 51 since the Tech game, and that one took a score pad TD by OU with 2:00 to go to do it. The only other 2 were the Oregon game (early bad D effort by OU) and the Mid Tennessee game (a 59-0 whitewash, OU played great, MTSU played awful, 45-0 at half). Boise's PPG is good, but that's against comparable size/speed in the WAC so they can run their offense. They're outclassed here. Look for something like 24-10 or 27-10 Oklahoma. Easssy under, barring fluke TOs or some such.

If you just want to win, your best bet would be either LSU ATS or LSU on the moneyline depending on how much you want to risk.

The problem? You want to GAMBOL and Notre Dame doesn't play LSU for 16 days. Solution? Hit up the BYU moneyline for Thursday.

You sound like you'd rather take a favorite moneyline than a spread bet, but you don't really want lay 4:1, and BYU's at -162 right now. Also, I really can't see an-uber motivated BYU team losing to a just-happy-to-be-on-vacation Oregon squad, so I think there's real value in the bet as well.

Ha, iggy, I do love to gamboool, but hitting hands like I did on Full Tilt doesn't happen very often for me, so I would like a 70% chance or better of winning this bet. I don't mind waiting, since I've been working so much, on the only time I'll have to enjoy this game, will be after the New Year's, and if I'm betting 1.5 g's I wanna be able to watch the game, and then take my winning to a strip club afterward. So really it has to be one of the premier bowls I bet on. What about a money line combo,

LSU and OSU? That sound alright? Get me closer to even money there

If you want to throw money away at least get an account at mansion so one of us can get it.

drop tOSU and stick to LSU

there are no 70% sportsbets for even up odds

But, one has to love LSU here given the two teams this year, the atmosphere at the Sugar Bowl, ND's bowl history.

If you lose the bet, it's the last game of the year, no chance to get back robusto.

I would take the OVER on the Oregon vs. BYU game.

Gonna be a fireworks show. Count on that.

MyTurn2Raise, you think that LSU will cover the spread? Or just bet them on the money line? Also why drop OSU, Florida has looked freaking shaky all year, and OSU is such a juggernaut.
