Championship Saturday gambling

Submitted by GoBlue96 on December 4th, 2021 at 8:30 AM

Who are you picking’ today? One of the best gambling days of the year. 
 

My picks so far:

Michigan -10.5

OSU -6

Bama +6.5

 I’ve been impressed with OSU’s balance this year and I think that number is too big for the SEC championship. Might put some money on Hoke also. 
 

Go blue!

love Michigan at -10.5. That’s not fanboy stuff, that’s looking at how THIS Michigan team lines up with Iowa. They are the worst possible matchup for Iowa IMO. -10.5 is hedging the emotional letdown and that’s it. 
I actually like Baylor with the points. OSU is better and I think they win, but a same-season rematch favors the team that lost. I think it’ll be close. 
Agree 100% on Bama. I’m also diggin’ Pitt -3.5. UNC threw all over WF and I think Pitt will do the same.

I have the jinx on Iowa in full effect.  
 

$10 for Iowa to win the first half (+250)

$10 for Iowa to win the second half (+210)

$25 on Iowa to win (+350)

$25 on Iowa to win (+325)

Since my gambles never cash its as confident I can feel that I’ve done my part to get UM the win today. 
 

Go Blue!

 

Edit:  for the sake of proof I did make one parlay this week:

$10 on Pitt +6.5, Iowa +20.5, and Alabama +15.5 for an $18 payout.  (Teased 10 points on all three)
 

I’m confident in Pitt and Bama not losing by those scores…so here’s hoping Iowa is the one that busts this parlay.

I have Michigan -11.  I also have a 6.5 point teaser that has Michigan -4.5 and Alabama +13.  I think Georgia wins but Alabama will keep it close because it's Saban against a former assistant.

I make money on gambling. They key to making money is to consistently win 55% to 58% of plays. I don't go for the big wins, but for the steady hits. For fun, I did drop a bet on Michigan to win the National Title at +735, but those kinds of bets are bets I don't expect to see my money back and I consider it money I spent for entertainment. If I win, then just a bonus. I'm still a small player, but I have been slowly building my bankroll and will soon start taking an income from it.

I'm a professional gigalo.  Beurtiful and rich women pay dearly for my services and day seldom passes when a supermodel cant be seen leaving my mansion during the wee hours of the morning.

I had been doing this mostly for fun but expect to retire from day job as an international spy/formula one driver to do this fully time.  When I do I will use the money the women pay me to pay an even bigger yacht.  Probably somewhere off the coast of Spain or Aruba.  I cant really decide.

I have a real hard time seeing how we don't cover 10.5. You might expect a team that won a huge game last week to let down this week, but not for a nationally televised conference championship game. As long as we play a clean game, not even necessarily a perfect game, we win by more than 14.

I think Alabama wins outright. They're one FG as time ran out from being undefeated again. And last week's win over Auburn reaffirmed how they're as difficult to kill as cockroaches. To me, getting them plus points is like stealing.

I don't have a football reason for picking Alabama to win --

(Imagine switching the jerseys and resumes for each team.  No one would be picking Georgia.)

-- but I definitely don't want them to win and they are +200 on the moneyline, so why not

FYI on the barstool app they have a promotion where odds go up based on the about of people betting on Michigan-10.5. It’s currently +800. Max bet is $5 so you win $40 with a cover.
