It’s an Open Thread!

We are $1200 for $1000 and a bunch of bets were made last week. 3/5, so back to $1300 FOR $1000.

Let’s see what’s in store for week 7 besides the Ireland V New Zealand match that we will get to later.

None of the games are piquing my interest. So, no bets this week.

Waitaminute…

8 Oregon @ 7 Washington 3:30 PM. Won’t matter. Georgia will beat either of these pretenders by 21. but, what the hell, the always overrated Ducks are 3 point dogs to the dogs (Huskies), heh. Anyway, Bo Nix is the Ducks QB, and he is very, very good. Ducks beat the spread (I always lose when I go this way).

Florida @ South Carolina 3:30 PM. The Gators are only 2 point favorites? I’ll take them to cover. That spread just looks weird.

10 USC @ 21 Notre Dame 7:30 PM. ND is at home in a classic rivalry game and the Irish are 2 point favorites. They won’t cover. ‘SC has a hell of a QB who will be playing on Sunday.

RWC 2023

Saturday at 1500 eastern, two of the best teams in the world are going to square off in the knock-out round of the Rugby World Cup. It’s Ireland v New Zealand. If yinz have access to Peacock online do watch it. this should be one for the ages. Let’s add this to the ledger: Ireland is 2 point faves to win, I’m going for NZ to beat the spread. I have my reasons, even though ireland are the faves to win it all.

There are other matches, but none that promise to be this great, this week…except on Sunday:

France (at home) v South Africa (1500 eastern). SA is the most physical team out there and they are playing against a great France team on French soil. again, on peacock, do watch if you have a chance. This one will get very chippy unless the ref clamps down early. SA are 2 point dogs in vegas. They should be able to get under the French skin and cause a lot of penalties anad beat that spread, France loses the story pretty fast after they have been belted in the mouth a few times and then get dirty and play stupidly.

I’m trying this on a chromebook, frankly, this would be impossible without a mouse. the puti suggested that i get a gamer mouse that works on all platforms. good on her. the funky LED gamer mouse works so here we go: (no spell check)

The Rugby World Cup is going mostly as planned. The fun starts next weekends as the also-rans are elimated this weekend.

So, i lost last weekend and am at $1200/1000, i quit the week before at $1300/1000.. However, it’s not real money.

ahhh…i have to save before leaving the page

12 Oklahoma @ 3 Texas 12:00 PM. the longhorns are 5 point faves at home anbd beat the spread

I’m done betting the Vols and LSU. sorry. been let down over and over and over and over..

11 Alabama @ Texas A&M 3:30 PM.the chromebbok is acting all messed up. anyway, ‘bama is only a 2 point fave over the aggies, yinz know what? i never bet against saban. but i will today! AGGIES at home!

Colorado @ Arizona State 6:30 PM. coach prime and his team have been put back to earth. good. now is time for real building. they are 3 point faves and beat the spread.

20 Kentucky @ 1 Georgia 7:00 PM. KY is the new oregon state. yeah whatever. they are 13 point dogs v the best team in the country, they don’t cover and fall back to mean.

F1 is in Qatar and it is dusty as, well, the desert. Oddly. do watch the race as the best in the world try to figure out what to do in the sand.
