Action: 1 bet

Sep 6, 2006, 1:42pm | Posted by Steve

I don't see this line getting any better, and likely to get worse if it moves at all, so I went ahead and placed this bet:

ACTION

Texas Tech (-7) at UTEP, $44/$40

It's starting to look like I might not take a lot of action this weekend, as there aren't a ton of lines I like out there, and I've come close to talking myself out of betting against Colorado (see thoughts below). So I doubled up my betting unit on this game, since I think Tech wins this one by 17 or more.

Waffling

Colorado State (-2) vs. Colorado, at Denver

Two days ago it was a done-deal I'd bet against the Buffs in this one (Montana State? Really?), but I've gotten close to changing my mind since then. Yes, this will likely be a down year for CU. Yes, I know they were bested by a Division I-AA school. But nobody believes Colorado is going 0-12 this season. They have to beat SOME teams, and Colorado State is no powerhouse.

I'm completely undecided at the moment.

    I'd like to see you list the actual scores to the games. I can get that you win or lose your bet, but I flip over to another site to get the scores.

    Or you can tell me to eat my own socks.

    Not a bad idea. When I get some time to mess with the database, I'll look into adding that.

    Done. Scores now show up with the outcome on the records page.

    I take back all those things I said.
