Really, really hard game to read based on that spread and O/U -- the UNC game I mean. 11.5 seems way too high for me to take it. That's a lot of points in a "rivalry" game.
ETA: I may tease this UNC game spread with another Saturday game.

I've explained my avenue for placing bets on here before. I have a friend who "manages" an online account of several "clients", and I'm one - but the only clients he has are people he knows personally. There is a pretty good interface online which has all of the lines and I place bets on there and settle up with my friend in person. There is an entity that owns the website that must get some sort of cut from all the "managers" - I haven't really bothered to get the details as they don't really matter to me. I place the bets online and settle up in person, which works great for me.
I believe @TarHeelNation11 just recently set up an account on an online service that is more open to anyone, he can probably give you details on that.
no, these are real guys, not online...use to do online, but it's too sketchy and i like talking to people...plus inside info is pretty cool also.
Tooph- THN had a thread about this a few weeks before he started this one- everyone talked through their options. But I think THN set an online account up recently and can probably give you some good advice.
toophly -- I did Bovada. The interface kinda sucks, not gonna lie. From what I can tell, mybookie.lv has a better interface.
My advice would be not to accept the 50% match bonus type stuff they offer you as an incentive for joining. Yes, they give you 50% of your deposit, but there are some serious strings attached. On Bovada, I accepted a 50% bonus but in order to make all of that bonus eligible for withdrawal, you have to bet 7.5 x the amount. I.e. if you deposit $100 and accept a $50 bonus, you have to place like $750 worth of bets in order to collect the full bonus.
So unless you want to make A LOT of bets in the beginning, I'd avoid the bonus. That's just my opinion though. I haven't tried a cash out yet, so I can't speak to how easy their cash out process is. It does say you can do one per month for free.
Awesome info I greatly appreciate it. You're right that 50% bonus thing probably isn't for me. I'm going to try Bovada out and see what happens. I'm hoping I have the good enough fortune of even having an option of cashing out. If my bets are like any of my pick ems on here I might need a 2nd job.Thanks again!
My pick 'ems have sucked this year but I'm actually doing fairly well on Bovada (last night excluded). I am up about $75.
For the early games today:
Pitt
Diddler U
Kansas
Syracuse
Anyone got any words of wisdom today?

I think 5dimes has a good site too if Bovada ends up not to your liking.
Whoever took WMU -17 in this MAC Championship is nuts. That being said, Ohio needs to chill the fugg out because I teased WMU -10 with Washington -1.5 lol
I'm off the sports betting wagon and back to online poker for a while. Until I see a game I cant resist, ha!
I've won a buck or two. Thanks again for the lead. I'm thinking of throwing a lot of money on Clemson tonight.
I was doing real well for a little while there, just betting small amounts like $10 here, $20 there. Then I got impatient and threw done some bigger bets that I didn't do well on. Plus, I have a lot of my capital already on Alabama to take home the national championship, so that makes my winnings look smaller.
You like Clemson -10? [ETA: I'm seeing Bovada now has Clemson -11] I love Clemson to win the game, but you never know with spreads and with how Clemson has been playing teams close. That's why I teased Clemson -3
Colorado straight screwed you :/
Call it a hunch lol. I feel like they're gonna destroy Vtech. Hope I'm not licking my wounds tomorrow.
Ya. Not having a good week so far, got my ass handed to me on the over in the IU game, then that didn't help either. Hopping back on the horse today with under 60 in Navy/Temple and over 74.5 in OSU/OU in the early games.
Oh great, just noticed the Bedlam game is pouring out... luckily it was a small wager. They probably won't get to 50, lol
Yeah it's looking dicey.
Also, Navy is KILLING me on my two-game teaser with Clemson. I felt really good about that one and bet accordingly. Here's to hoping Navy blanks Temple in the second half and cuts it to a 3-point deficit or better to preserve your under and my teaser
