OK, since you brought this, you might know, where is the opportunity here?

What credibility does this site have when they talk about CMU's "blowout win" against WKU in the Bahama Bowl. Maybe their expert only looked at the second half stats. ;-)

Unfortunately, most of the opportunities are gone, 'cuz the "wise guys" hit the over/under win totals pretty hard. These are no longer even money bets at most sports books. For example, if we can get thru fall camp without major injury, I really like the 'cats to win more than 5. But because everybody else does too, you now have to bet $210 to win an additional $100. That's not worth the risk. Akron under 7.5 wins is tempting, but you still have to bet $180 to win and additional 100. That's not awful, but not good either, considering you are tying your money up for 3 months. I might bite on that one, depending on what I hear out of Akron the next two weeks...

Thanks. Now I have enough knowledge to believe that gambling will never be something I will understand well enough to risk my hard earned $$$.

Akron sucks. Also, Miami sucks, Buffalo sucks, Kent sucks, BG sucks, and UMass sucks.

Go Bobcats.

In all sincerity I should have come to that conclusion years ago...but to quote Don Corleone, "They just keep pulling me back!" LOL...
