How bad is Montreal lately? Bruins must be one of the 2 hottest teams right now. I think you're on the right side of this despite the juice.
Thanks for the Oregon State advice. I actually hit twice on that game.
Oregon St, and I took the over.
For Friday:
NHL Nashville looks like good value +180 .
I don't see anything in the NBA that jumps out at me.

Hmmm. Something is fishy and it ain't the "kitty." So the line opened at 3. It was bet down to 2. It jumped back to 3. I grabbed it at 3. But it kept raising to 3.5. And now it's down to 2.5.
Well, wish me luck.There's a betting strategy that says that you should bet on a NHL team that has recently fired their head coach. I'm not sure what the record is but I recall it being somewhat useful. Anyway, just tossing it out there. Flyers fall under this spot against Caps (who will be without AO).
I guess I'm a liar as well as an obsessive gambler.
Orange Bowl -- I'm taking the better team laying 7. I don't think BSU deserve to be here. They stink when not playing on their own blue turf. Whereas TCU is a probably the best team outside of a BCS conference.
OT -- did you watch the MNF with Jets-Bengals. Why doesn't Al Michaels own a topcoat? Did he lose too much $$$ on bad picks. LOL.

And not too well informed, apparently.
Boise State and Texas Christian are playing in the Fiesta Bowl tonight, not the Orange Bowl.
I'm on the opposite side. I'm going to grab the points (7) and take the over (53.5) as well. Both straight bets, 2 units each.

I used www.bookmaker.com primarily for betting on UFC fights and K-1 kickboxing tournaments. The lines are pretty decent compared to some of the competition and it is VERY EASY to put money in as they take VISA.
The problem as others have said is taking money out. At one point I was up $1200 so decided I wanted to take out $1000 to get back to my starting deposit of $200. To do this you have to fax 2 pieces of id, and fax a copy of front and back of credit card and then wait 10-15 days if i remember correctly. This is even a couple months after paying initial money. To be fair, once this is done - putting in and out is probably quite simple.
I was too lazy to fax all my info - and frankly wasn't thrilled about faxing credit card/id info at same time at convenience store, since i wasn't going to do it at work ... Ended up leaving the money in and eventually got sucked into the online casino where i quickly lost all my earnings and then lost another 5G trying to win it back. I missed out on a lot of hobbying the last couple months because of my stupidity - keep this in mind anyone who is thinking of joining to make a quick buck on nice spreads. Now the only 'nice spreads' that I'm pursuing are the Asian gems of the TERB incall section =)
