Sperm Edwards Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Interesting Prop Bet: T. Owens is fined or suspended during season. Yes 1-4 No 5-2 If it's 1-4 that he is fined/suspended, shouldn't it be 4-1 that he isn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raffyD Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 If it's 1-4 that he is fined/suspended, shouldn't it be 4-1 that he isn't? Bookie always wins with the vig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Right, but the line always starts out where they think they'll get even amt of bets from both sides. The winners & losers cancel out & they keep the vig. Unless the bookie himeslf is gambling on the game, which is the only way for them to lose.

Yes 1-4 No 5-2 that basically means on a nuetral field its a push and we would be favored by 2 or 3 at home,, interesting respect for Jets early on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawngnome o-line Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 that basically means on a nuetral field its a push and we would be favored by 2 or 3 at home,, interesting respect for Jets early on Or we are playing one of the three teams that had a WORSE season than us, based on strength of schedule), and if they don't have Mcnair then they are going to have who at QB, Volek?, Young?, they aren't good, but the Jets aren't either. Neither team has proven themselves to be any better, so because of that, the split is solely on the fact that the Titans have homefield...don't look into this any more than it should be. We are bad, but the Titans are just as bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderbirdJet Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Wow, the Titans at -3 will be a lock. I'll take the Jets in that game. look at my vcash.... and tell me I'm wrong! Why? The Jets will win that game.... and raise expectations of the foolish, who think one win means we're a playoff team. More whining later on.

They spread the lines out to make "No" more attractive to get back to that even level you spoke about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 that basically means on a nuetral field its a push and we would be favored by 2 or 3 at home,, interesting respect for Jets early on The team the Jets are playing is one of the few that drafted ahead of them. And they are changing QBs. The Jets are one of a few teams that could manage to be underdogs in that game. It would be sweet to start the season with a W though. The fans would go nuts. 12 and 4. We are going 12 and 4, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
