    BetAGame Rollover Rules

    Can someone explain BetAGame?s rollover rules, as I?m trying to understand. Let?s say I make a cash deposit of $200. They add 50% or $100 to my account as a bonus. They require 5x rollover wagering on the bonus and the deposit. This means I would have to wager $1500 before I could request a...

    Does anyone know any fantasy NFL playoff contests around?

    Fishy NCAA Lines

    On the surface these favorite lines seem too low. As such I will be playing all five dogs: Rhode Island -2 Oklahoma Kentucky -5 Davidson Arizona -8 1/2 Buffalo Ohio State -7 1/2 South Dakota St Auburn -9 1/2 Charleston

    Hawks-Wild Series

    The linesmakers keep making Chicago a road favorite in this series, I don't understand. The Wild are extremely difficult to beat at home. Riding them again in Game 6. +110 Minnesota.

    Frozen Four

    Minnesota has been solid all year, but Lucia's track record in big games isn't good. On the flip side, North Dakota always peaks this time of year and overachieves. I can see them upsetting Minnesota at nice odds -- then winning the title, also at nice odds over 5:1.

    Conference Tourney Week Woes

    Every year I tell myself, "self, do not wager on conference tournament games".... yet I always get sucked in. IMHO it's the most unpredictable, head scratching time of the year. If my winning percentage is 52%-55% during the season, I'd guess at conf tourney time I'm under 30 percent. Teams...

    Big Ten GOY

    They're predicting 7-8 degrees above zero for kickoff Saturday at The Bank. The cold weather should greatly equalize this game. Although Wisconsin is a better team, give me 7 degrees and 17 points anytime. Tons of running plays in a close contest... Loading up on Minnesota +17 and a bit on ML.

    Crazy Line

    I am not fathoming Wisconsin -15 1/2 over Minnesota? The Bank will be rocking Saturday and my money will be on the Gophers plus points and the ML. I expected this line to be around 7 points. What am I missing -- Minny playing their best ball in years?

    Fighting Sioux

    Kids from Weber can't wait to get out of the 35-below windchills in Grand Forks. I know they play inside but ND kids will be comfortable. Strong play on home team +8.

    Just have to vent...

    If the horse people are so worried about thoroughbreds fragile legs causing injury, why on earth do they still run archaic steeplechase races at Saratoga? Every race it seems like at least one horse goes down from jumping. Dumb.

    NCAA Puck

    I know BC is a solid team, but getting +180 for a very talented Minnesota group is a bet worth taking. My hunch is Lucia finishes his Gopher career with a National Title.

    Bowl Money Line Plays

    I've been trying to find some good ML value during this bowl season. Here is what I like the rest of the way: Navy +210 I'm not sold on Mizzou. Navy should be the more-motivated squad. Stanford +300 Oklahoma a shadow of their past. Can't figure out why this line has grown? Northwestern...

    Bowl System Update

    Southern Cal was unimpressive in beating a BC team without an offense. That was a loss for my system but we have another big play in Cincinnati over Florida. Florida closes with a disappointing effort and Cincinnati wins a thriller over Pitt. The line is growing to 12 1/2. Can anyone give...

    Strong Bowl Trend

    One of the reasons I enjoy wagering on the bowl games is that most of the time it's intangibles that determine the winner. Usually X's and O's take a back seat to the emotions or situations at hand. One of the strongest historical trends has been this one: "Play against a bowl team if they...

    Just have to vent...

    Haven't had a more painful day in a long time, here were my plays: Michigan - lays an egg Clemson - forgets there are 2 halves Duquesne - loses cover in double OT Old Dom - up by 9 at half Arizona - misses tying layup in double OT Portland - nice losing effort at -15 oh-for-six... never seen...

    Fri Big Ten

    Nice W yesterday on MN over NW. Minny built some character by pushing that game out after NW came close in second half. Their motivation is much higher than Michigan State's. I like 1H Minn +3 1/2, Game Minn +7, M/L Minn +265. Michigan +2 over Illinois. Wouldn't be surprised to see...

    Thur Big Ten

    I know NW wants to dance for the first time, but Tubby should have his boys focused and I expect a Minnesota win.

    Big Ten Saturday

    Similar to the strong play when Minnesota should have beaten Wisconsin, the Gophers at home this week find themselves in another rivalry game. The only team in the Big Ten that should be getting 6 or more at home is Indiana. If this game was in Iowa City I'd say Iowa by 6 or 7. But not at the...

    Big Ten

    I am a Badger alum living in Minny, so I follow both teams fairly closely. 13-14 points is too many no matter what year these two are playing. Both sides look forward to this game all season. Badgers are not the team they were the past few years. Minny laid an egg last week vs. Michigan...

    March Madness Contests/Pools

    Maybe this has already been initiated somewhere, but I'd like to start a thread for MJ members to share good March Madness contests and pools. Not the ones where they offer $1 million for a perfect bracket, but those that actually provide a decent chance of winning something.
