I don't really know what you did at Bodog to get cut from online wagering. But its def not normal.

[Paul B.]

I think it has to do with me trying to take advantage of a bad line they offered. Here's the whole message:

What was the error?

[umaga]

I had an identical experience with Bodog over the same bet. The bet was CBB Rhode Island +3 when Pinny was at something like Rhode Island -1.5. However, it was early in the morning when a lot of the CBB's lines were moving quite a bit. So, I would say an error, but nowhere near the the crazy things you sometimes see. Hell, at the same time they had a full game O/U for that game of 67 - now that's an obvious error.

Week 12 lookahead for NFL Survivor Pool, is there any way I don't take Indy despite their recent lack of enthusiasm? And what do you think my opponent will take (only me and one more left)? Thanks for any help.

I've used: PIT CHI BAL DAL NE SD WAS NYG NO SEA GB

Opponent has used: SEA DEN NE DAL IND NYG NO SD TEN PIT PHI

[kdog]

Opponent will probably use Arizona. As for you using Indy the only negative I see is their on the road. Still far superior to Atlanta even with all the injuries though.

I have a reporting question for you guys. Wasn't important enough to start another thread, but I'm curious.

I bet 1u at Pats -15 (-110) early last week. Later in the week, I put another 1u on Pats -16 (-115).

Both of these spreads covered. Do I count this as 1-0 or 2-0 when counting my record, or does it not matter, since total units won or lost is what matters.

[NajdorfDefense]

count record AND units = standard. Or, some just count record as their 'followers' bet whatever units they feel like.

1-0 ats, +2u.
