Money Line Play

If you are in Vegas, and like LSU to win straight out, the ML at a couple of shops has climbed to +130. Not bad for a 2.5 point dog. Normally, the ML would be around 115-120. That is a decent value wager. In another very odd line, you can get Alabama -.5 for a 1st half wager, and -1.0 for a 2nd half wager. That does not add up to -2.5 for the game. So if you take 'Bama for both halves, but LSU for the game, it could get interesting. So I will make 3 very small wagers and call them my "throw away" wagers. 'Bama -1/2 for the 1st half. 'Bama -1 for the 2nd half. LSU +130 ML for the game. Just for the hell of it. By no means am I suggesting that anyone do this.

Junk, I'm on Bama -2 big tonight. As you know, I play every game the same during the season but have stepped up on this one.

Should be one hell of a fight...........

Roll Tide!

Mule. great to see you. Good Luck tonight, though I am going the other way. I have LSU tonight. I also am alive to a 3 team parlay which I called by "Louisiana Parlay." I have LSU at even, so theyhave to win for me. I then played 1/10th of my normal wager on LSU +130, and 1/5th of my normal wager on 'Bama -.5 in the 1st half, and -1.0 in the 2nd half. It's all screwed up, but this is what happens when you try to do 19 different things at once.

Junk, how about them Bama boys?

I have been gaming 40 plus years and this game is one of the top 5 as far as the amount of dollars I have ever wagered.

My sources in Tuscaloosa said this was the most focus team they had ever seen. They proved to be right.

By the way, the Muleriders won BIG tonight.

I know you are a family man, my winnings tonight are going to my family kids college education fund. Praise the Lord!!

Hope all is coming together for you Junk, we both know it's all about family.
