bo vada.lv...no spaces

I believe BetDSI has been around the longest. They are in Costa Rica, and operate out of a real casino. It's not just a call center, like most of these sites. Many sites have just closed down and absconded with people's money. BetDSI not likely to do that, since they are a physical Vegas style casino, and have been going since 1998. I would stay away from any "new" sites in Europe. They can go out of business @ any time, and you will lose your deposit.

I've been using bovada for years, they have no problems taking my money lol, they're recommended by a ton of the pick guys...I can only comment on the site that I had personal experience with so therefore it was my recommendation...in terms of goin out of business & losing your deposits: It goes with the territory in my eyes, unless your making bets in a sportsbook in vegas there's always that inherent risk...that being said, I have had nothing but good experiences with bovada

Plus the odds that either of you actually taking money out of an online sportsbook are slim to none, at best. if its never going to happen (you getting your money back), why worry?

 

[whadeezlrg]

^^^ exactly

I believe that CA indian casinos are trying to get sportsbooks...that would be nice, even though im like 45 min from the closest one.

O.K. So tonight's game: Colts vs Texans. Colts favored by 3 on the road. Looks like an easy choice, however, there are problems. The Colts are missing both starting guards, and they are playing a rookie @ center. So, their line is patchwork, at best. On the other side, you have JJ Watts, one of the best pass rushers ever. How will the Colts negate the Texan's pass rush? That is the question. Luck will probably be rolling away from Watt's side, or they will leave an extra tight end in to block him, taking away from their receiving options. Tough call, but with the way the Colts have been playing, I will have to go with them.
I "F''ed up big time by not betting the Broncos when it opened at 8 points over the Jets. It is now 10 points, and that makes a huge difference. That was my bet of the week, but I have to think twice now.
Like the Chargers over Oakland, -7 points. Chargers should blow them out. That is my top bet, along with Denver (now minus 9), Ravens -3 over Tampa Bay. I love betting against bad teams. No line on Jaguar's game yet, but I will be looking at that game. Also, Green Bay -3 @ Miami. Aaron Rodgers looks up to speed.

bucs with glennon is a totally different team, they did nearly take out the saints in the superdome last week...although I won't bet a dime on them either way after they killed me last season...they do rise up for some games though

 

[watts]

I predict houston to win tonight

 

[whadeezlrg]

yeah division games always seem closer regardless of the strength of either team

Well, they are going to have to do it from behind!
I have never seen an onside kick attempted in the first couple minutes of a game, by the team that just scored and had the lead. That was a very risky play! If Texas recovers, they are in the red zone without even running their offense. Mind blowing! Luck & the Colts look unstoppable.
I bet the Colts in the first quarter (even though Texas had not given up a single point in the first quarter all year), giving zero points. First time I have seen that. Also bet them in the first half, giving up a only half a point. Don't understand those odds, but I'll take it. Also bet Colts for the game, -3 points. Also have them parlayed with the Baltimore Orioles tomorrow night.
Game now looking like a blowout, and I am wishing I bet more. The injuries on the offensive line made me hold back, but it doesn't seem to matter. The Colts look like they are among the elite teams, if not the best. Colts, Seahawks, Broncos look like the top three.

 

[watts]

just great, another thursday night blowout, what is the deal, this happens every week..

No time to recover from Sunday's game, and the team with the best coaching/game plan just blows the other team out. It's evident that the Colt's coaches came up with a great game plan, and the Texans were not prepared at all. The Colts are getting better each week, and look almost unstoppable at this point. Even their defense looks dominating. This game is already over. The only suspense is what will the spread @ half time be? There are some strange lines @ half time. Texans might even be favored, on the premise that the Colts will sit on the lead and run the clock. At most, the Colts might be favored by three.

 

[Ottoman]

retro, who you gonna take at half?

 

[RetroGrow]

Waiting for the spread to come up......might not bet, as I am already well up. I will probably take a small parlay with the Colts and Orioles tomorrow night.
Texans favored by one point. I took the Colts, just for $10.
Will parlay with Orioles also.
Also took the "over", @23.5, and parlayed the over with the Colts, and parlayed the Colts with Orioles. This line is very tempting, and I would like to make a larger wager, but am already up, and don't want to risk my winnings. If this was a fresh bet , I would put $50-$100 on the second half with the Colts getting a point. Seems to me that all the Texas touchdowns were luck. One on a penalty on the field goal, and the other on a tipped pass/interception, which never should have been thrown anyway. With the Colts up 24-7, in their own end, why would the Colts even attempt a pass deep in their own territory, when their priority should have been protecting the ball and running the clock? That was a really bad decision. Even so, the Texans were fortunate to get a finger on the ball which led to the interception which led to the touchdown. So basically, Houston's offense has done nothing. Colt's defense has been better than expected.
My "over" bet may have been a bad bet. Texans can't move the ball well, and Colts don't need to score much. They will probably go conservative and work the clock. That is the one bet I regret in hindsight.

 

[RetroGrow]

That decision to go for 2 points by the Colts really killed me. It was a mistake on their part too. They should have taken the PAT.
Well, as it turns out, I should not have bet the second half. The turnover by Luck hurt, and the pass reception that was overturned were the two biggest plays that cost the Colts. But good game/bet over all.
Get ready for next Thursday. Jets @ New England, after the Jets play Denver on Sunday. I'll give you one guess who's going to win that game. Should be a blowout by the Patriots. Get your bets in early if possible, before the spread goes up.
Sunday, I will be betting against the Jets, Raiders, Jaguars, and the Buccaneers.

 

[Ottoman]

looks like it wouldn't have matter anyways for the O/U, texans covered the half as well hurts that parlay.

Thanks for your answers Miracolous Meds, Sisu and Bababoey,

I am realy fascinated, yesterday I saw some College Football Playoffs, it was a little bit easier to watch. I have to get some routine to understand whats happening exactly on the field.

I thought about "my" Team. Hm, an NYC Team? I´ve got a hat from the Dolphins (Season 1990/91), the very little football Team of my hometown is called "Seahawks" also. Dallas is no go, it´s like Bayern Munich in Soccer, I am more for the Outsiders. Denver, Colts, 49ners? And than I thought I got it, Green Bay! A smaller town, not rich, in the North, yes!

But in reality, I think, I don´t cheer for a Special Team, in this season. Its so new and so much, I look game by game an decide for what Team I am, it has to be oposite to my wifes Team .

Next weekend once is clear, GO SEAHAWKS!!

My advice is just watch the games and enjoy them. I like a good close competitive game that either team can win. If its not my home team then I root for the underdog. If a team grows on ya then u can adopt them and watch them routinely.

If u got any rule questions or anything post them here, im sure there are plenty of people to help u understand them better.

 

[Hermanthegerman]

Hey, Colts/Houston, Close to the edge, good comeback from the Texans but sadly 4 nuthin`. Indeanapolis could be my Team maybe? It´s funny, I am for Teams like East Bay Packers, Colts, Chicago, Seahawks, old german/scandinavian emigration areas?
My belly knows more than my mind,....

Let's hear some picks for the weekend, and the reasoning behind them.
I'm all over San Diego, as Phillip Rivers is playing insane, and the Raiders are win less, and were even beaten by the Jets. I will gladly lay 7 points to them.
Gotta like Denver to kill the dysfunctional Jets. The spread is 9 points at the moment.
I like Tennessee over Jacksonville giving 4 points at home.
Like the Packers over the Dolphins, -3 points.
Like the Ravens over Tampa Bay, -3.5 points. Can't see the Ravens losing to Tampa Bay.
Note: in all these bets, there is the option to lay odds instead of points.

My favorites this week are Denver, new England, and the over on philly and NYG.

Less confident but I still bet on san diego, and Detroit.
