phantom holding call on the punt return, shouldnt count. Watched it 10 times, no hold. What a joke.

That play got the award for, "Play that caused the most profanity on Twitter" this weekend. I didn't have action on the game, but I'm with you; who was the ref flagging on that side of the field?

Parlay - Cowboys ML (-165) + UNDER 45. Payout 2:1

This video says the hold took place way earlier in the play. Still doesn't make any sense with the timing and placement of the flag throw, though. (Ref threw the flag right by Knox as he caught the ball. This holding apparently took place a couple seconds earlier, at least 20-some yards away from that. Doesn't make any sense.)

My best bet is that we all die a little inside from watching the WNBA.

My best bet is that Lin Dunn's calorie intake increases by 2500 after tonight's game

This is the reason BTB got a rep point last night for hosting a great contest and Chiefzilla for winning it. I was then able to sneak a rep point to Mr Lucky for a great 1st half lean. That somehow cashed after 51 points in the 1st quarter.

Thanks Ryan, appreciate it. Glad you didn't care that my lean on Indiana 1st Q and Indiana 1st Half both would have lost

Has BTB abandoned this thread?

Well, according to everyone on Twitter, Tampa Bay Rays are the stone-cold, lead-pipe, lock of a century tonight. And most of them are having no problem whatsoever laying the -225 to -270 juice with it.. For the life of me, I can't seem to get through to them how BAD of a bet this is!

Agreed. Can't believe some people continued to give the juice with these teams, namely Atlanta and Boston. Baseball is a game of streaks, don't bet them to end, it won't work out favorably.

My best bets of this week are Baylor -3, Georgia tech -9.5, and UL Lafayette -9. I'm always confident in college picks

[brinksta]

Tonights game. USF -3

[kreatture]

I'm currently going through and updating the Standings & Rep Points. As far as I can tell the Rep Points haven't been updated since last Saturday.

Well scrap that idea.. I guess I'm only allowed to give or subtract 5 Rep Points a day.. BTB can u change this for me so I can complete the rest?

These games are all on the same day, and 2 of these are at the same time. Thanks for posting the ones you like the most, but can you pick one to be your Best Bet?

Welcome to the forum, and thanks!

[CaliWolverine97]

Damn you got me. hahaha. its pretty damn hard just to pick one game.
But I'll make UL Lafayette -9 my pick. I don't think anyone else picked em.
Looking forward to a Great Week 5 card.

Shoot, I'm not sure how to do that — yet. If you can tell me who is owed what, I can do it for you.

And thanks for keeping track!

[kreatture]

OK, thanks BTB. I don't mind doing it in the future if you can figure out how to change the setting. These still need to be done.

-1 oconnellp Texas Tech -15.5 (I gave a -1, but didn't see til after he risked 2)
-1 oconnellp Bears +5
-1 Doustism Ohio St/Colorado Under 47.5
+0 Doustism Detroit -3
-1 Mr Lucky New England/Philadelphia Teaser
-1 PetyrBaelishBets Baltimore/Pittsburgh Teaser
-1 thekidrounder Mariners ML

+1 Skating Tripods Auburn/FAU Under 59
+1 Mr Lucky Michigan/Notre Dame Teaser
+1 Mr Lucky Redskin/Cowboys Under 45
+2 oconnellp Cowboys ML/Under Parlay (I was going to give 2 pts for this, hitting a parlay with greater payout)

Questionable call on Skating Tripods Best Bet of "My best bet is that we all die a little inside from watching the WNBA." I would say -1, but it's your call

And I'd give SkyBlues42 a Push on his "My best bet is that Lin Dunn's calorie intake increases by 2500 after tonight's game" since we really have no way to verify this..

[@oconnellp]

SoFla (-133) Houston (-580) ML parlay tonight. $500.00 to win $526.96

[Beyond the Bets]

Good to go. Thanks, Mr. Lucky.

[CaliWolverine97]

tonight. I have USF -2.5 as my best bet.
