INDY vs Houston

yes I am planning to green out at much shorter odds than that

Cushing is more of a loss for Texans than Wayne is for Colts. All in on Indy.

Apologies to Bean, he posted the same topic while I was writing up my BS.

Another thing going for Houston.  Laugh if you want, but it's important.  Field position.  It looks like there will be several punts this game, and Houston has the better punter. Of course people who are just casual bettors will chuckle at that, but, that's why they're casual bettors and serious non winners.

Bob, you'd be surprised.

boom

ive just had 500 on over 33.5, wont be trading at all.

wow nice start for hoostun

Thank you very much.  Good luck tonight guys.  I'm out.  If Indy comes back to win the game, I consider my pick of Houston as a win.

In @ 2.06  out 1.65   23%

hmm. you may be wishing you hadnt got out right now?

wow

blocked FG attempt

1.41 now

ive just realised ive got a bet on houston to win over 10.5 games. i just need them to win the last 9 in a row!

This is the N F L.  Lots of time I wish I didn't get out early. But, the fumble, pick 6 etc. Those 15 % really add up.

im sure they do but what happens when it goes tits up and you back a team thats never in the game?

im also a whopping 12k red on indy, amongst others, for the superbowl, so i suppose i should want houston to win this.

i want 34 points first though.

hey bob, who you tipping for the bowl then?

That doesn't happen very often Bob.  I almost always bet in play.  I just bet the standouts like this one pre game.  Of course sometimes they lose without ever a chance of getting out.  That's the way it goes.

this game has started fkn nuts.

no idea tbh. i started off backing denver and san francisco big pre-season. back a few more since then though. i suppose i'd stick with those if i had to say. both got a struggle on to win their divisions though. green bay look serious challengers.

R R R R R R R ROCKETSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!

this guy can throw!

I'm rooting for your 34 Bob.

what do you do if indy go 7-0 up still standing? not knocking you, just curious.

Looking forward to this drive now......Texans D will be pumped, Colts (without Wayne) will have to a least get a FG to calm the storm they are facing right now.


(Coombs, STFU )

its only 1.23, but obviously more to the point i dont wanna lose the 500 bucks. already lost 500 today on the saints. bloody annoying cos i was gonna do the points (which won easily) but something popped in my head and said 1.42 the saints was a good price. its not too bad, cos i made about 360 on dallas and new england. and im about 200 on football this weekend too. could have really done without backing the saints though. every time i back them, they lose. theyre my jinx team. why did i do it????

do you never trade out if you cant get your 15% then? or do you take a loss at some point?

If indy goes up early, I sit tight because I analyzed the game and like Houston to win.  If it was against an inferior opponent, I'd take some more.  If Indy goes on to win, I lose 10$ of my bankroll.  It's happened before, it'll happen again. I come back and try it another time.

10 %

Freudian slip

ok, cheers

i think indys superbowl price may be about to go into orbit. a bit crazy how they were roughly the same price as the likes of green bay and new england the other week.

Houston all over the Colts like a rash

watts a defensive end?

KR - that you trying to get more on Texans?

Yes and a very good one

hello mac how are you?

I`m fine Hank thanks - how is the young un doing? I sincerely hope he is well. Don`t like asking you on a public forum, apologies for that.

Good to hear mac - he is great thanks. Oh, no problem he has his own thread in chit chat anyway lol - there is a pic of him so you can see the little fella

Despite that fk up the Texans do seem way more confident without Schaub at QB.

That`s great to hear Hank. I never saw the thread - will try to find it later. I wish him all the best!

Hopefully, this is the momentum change

Not hopefully for me mac - Texans fan here

lol Hank, not me on this occasion, I am deep on the Texans but not balls deep, perhaps half the shaft

lol KR - were you on DJ in the golf? I know you're a fan of his and he seemed a decent pre off price. I only dabbled a bit on the w/e play.

KR - I'm about to pop you an email

Yes I was!  First winner for ages.  Have had an amazing run of near misses this year and when DJ blew the lead after two holes I thought here we go again.  He played so well back nine, good effort from the other two but can't live with him for talent.  DJ

Ah excellent mate you certainly deserved that one

I really didn't think poults was going to do it, but I thought gmac may spoil the party

I know I'm like a broken record ......  but some of the shyte in the C4 studio is head-wrecking. Giggling Coombs - is like a kiddies tv presenter..... "tweet us names in for a franchise in Iceland" FFS

silly PI really

I agree Wall - when`s ask Mike

Good stand

Great defense there tbf

T.O.

Going to need it again already

I hope not

oh wow haha

That was a bad call.

Refs been bribed. Even missed the ruffing the kicker

I admit it was suspect mac

Corruption is BIG in Texas (in fact North America all over)

Johnson`s making this guy look better than he is.

taxi for schaub

kubiak might be dead and carlsons making jokes. classy, mike.

absolute disgrace Bob, total ignorance. He must post on chit chat.

Hope Mr Kubiak is ok - more important than betting and a daft game

Sounds like a Heart attack or stroke.

... hope not, game is trivial now.

Tweets are saying Kubiak's heart rate is good. Hope he is ok.

Well done Texan backers, even the most optimistic Colt backer would have trouble sticking with this. Your team done well.

.... more importantly, reports from Houston saying Mr Kubiak has not suffered a heart attack. Glad to hear that and I wish him a speedy recovery. GN

Indeed, good news. G'night mac

...... hello........

that was nice for my over 43.5 back at 2.5

1.02 in danger

hope the gubbing doesn't happen, not fair on gary

catchy mcsratchy shirley

lolllllllllll these reviews are bonkers tonight

writings on the wall here

COME ON HOUSTON, DO AN INTERCEPTION

throwing this down the swanny

1.02 out to 1.8

TD IND

1.02 gubbed to pieces

how the hell did they not stop the 2 pointer????????

Absolutely gubbed when Kubiak left

could we see OT?

Texans

At least Mac will wake up with some good news

1.02 gubbed to buggery. NFL is so crazy.

i put in a £100 back of indy at 5.7, then hesitated and decided not to press the button.

Randy Bullock really is hopeless.

I layed Texans at 1.04 with half my green.  I do it automatically these days sub 1.1 (NFL, tennis, cricket)......I give away bits of profit but it pays off handsomely over a period of time.

NFL play-offs last year was incredible last year.

Jesus, I feel VERY, VERY, VERY Lucky there. I was waiting on the Colts at -1 for a handicap treble with the patriots and the panthers today. I almost went to bed in the 3rd quarter thinking the bet was down easily. How the Colts pulled that back I don't know. Guess it was Kubiak going at half time, Texans were very conservative in the 2nd half.

I feel very embarrassed picking up that bet. Colts were very poor even given the dodgy decisions they got from roughing the kicker and the strip that was overturned.  Rams could be very good value against the Colts next week.

How did the Texans lose that game please?

The umpires stopped handing them points.

another good win for the SB champs

Nothing surprises me in gambling but tbh I had gave up on that one. Not only bet the Colts at the start but also piled on when they were getting gubbed. Virtually gave up on the bets 3rd quarter and turned off. Went to bet a couple of horses on bookie accounts and wondered where all the extra money had come from. Surely not, I thought? Incredible!!

Hank is right, but to say it was a pleasant surprise is an understatement.

More importantly, I hope Mr Kubiak is well.

It is true, you never know in NFL/NCAA. I thought it was dead @ HT too, nearly went to bed. Same with KC game, nailed on to go 21-7 down, 5 seconds later 14-14. I think when betting football, i think it is important to remember the times when lady luck s*cks me off, because she's been farting in my face with alarming regularity over the last few weeks.

Yes DD, never a truer word spoken. 9 times out of 10 it will happen against you. That`s why it makes sense to lay off at these silly prices when well ahead. I layed them as low as 1.1 and tbh, I thought I was giving the value away. When you get on a bad run like you say, it`s very difficult to break the trend. Lady Luck seems to conspire against you in every way possible to beat you in the most unpredictable of circumstances. KC was a right sickener for you and anybody else who bet the Bills. Tuer doesn`t make that daft throw and imo KC`s unbeaten run comes to an end. Gambling can scramble one`s brain at times. Hope you get the monkey off your back soon.

yes, laying off is pretty big in NFL

nothing more frustrating when you cannot get out of your bet when you can see what is coming a mile off.

correct d13phe - one just has to sit and suffer, or if you are as mad as me, stick by your convictions and dive in again and again and increase one`s liabilities I got lucky.

....Yeah it's really risky getting greedy and letting things take their course. Actually KC went my way, I probably wasn't clear enough on that, with Indy doing the business for me I wonder if that marks a turn around. I had something like no TD's for 6 quarters in NCAAF this past weekend. There's nothing like an unlucky run in 'football' because the game has many ways things can go wrong, or right. Soccer just isn't the same, far fewer variables, IMO. I had a bit on Oakland Sunday, never in the game got battered, didn't upset me one bit. I got it totally wrong.

A couple of those calls in the Indy game were mystifying, how do you miss that foul on the punter, or overturn that fumble recovery?  Then later it transpires Pagano could have challenged that punt call and didn't know! those things send me round the twist.

Tbh though I always do better 2nd half of the season and playoffs, and the college bowl games.


Always be happy with some profit, and then relax.
