TDB Contest – Week 9

UPDATED- WEEKEND RESULTS 10/31/21 11:00am

Another tough week in a really tough season. LawyerJohn and TMC4USC are still in first and second but both lost about 25% of their units. The bright spot was Golden Trojan who went 2 for 2 and was able to double his bank. San Diego Trojan managed a split this week and is firmly entrenched in third place and within striking distance of our leaders. As always, thanks for playing!

By the way, John, some lucky bettor (name shall not be released) got credit for the Fresno St-San Diego St game even though he bet on San Diego St.

I am self reporting a mistake in my total. I should have 29,000 instead of 31,000 points. You gave me credit for a win on the SDSU game.

I have 12,000 Welds not 13. But if y’all want to spot me the 1000 I’ll humbly accept.

How much do these betting “gurus” charge for their computer guesses?– In the long-run they will do no better than Joe-Average because it is a 50-50 bet each time. And yesterday don’t we ‘John Weld Bettors’ wish we had broken even at 50-50? But come on, how can you beat the Pac-12 football “system.” as follows: Cal convincingly beats up favored Oregon St Washington St kills 2-touchdown favored Arizona St (starting the game with 3 turn-overs pretty much did-in ASU) Slightly favored Washington out-classes Stanford (who doesn’t) Touchdown underdog sucla wishes they lost to Utah by a touchdown 3-touchdown underdog… Read more »

Your 50-50 chances are holding for me. In 9 weeks I have 4 that I’m up and 5 I’m down. Truth is especially with the Pac 12, anything is possible. It is the cannibal conference. My big win picking Fresno relied on that great San Diego sports tradition of choking in the big game no matter the sport!

Go Spartans. Beat the Wolverines! Or vice versa. I’m good either way.

The Big Chill game. First potentially great contest of the day.

I think Mich St gets clobbered today and goes downhill for the rest of the season, Michigan will win this one but then not do much better than State.

Hard week to pick. I think Jaxson Dart will play and make a difference. But, I am far from certain. So here goes:

SC -21.5 500
UCLA +6.5 500
Oregon St. -1.5 500

Arizona +21.5 for 1000
Fresno St +1 for 5000

Steveg, I am not betting on emotion. I think Fresno St has a better offense and SDSU will not keep up. Trojans should win but not cover, they going to start phoning it in.

Hey Golden, SDSU/Fresno, I think it is going to be the most watchable game of the day, I see them pretty evenly matched, and agree with you Fresno has the offensive edge, but San Diego has a pretty tough defense. Great way to close out the day.

John please amend my bet this week as follows:
CHANGE Stanford -2.5 2500
ADD Fresno St +1 2500
This only changes the Stanford bet, but adds the Fresno St bet for a total of 5 teams bet on for a total of 20000

Yes I am betting on emotion, thanks to Golden shaming me into it😆.

John, one wager I misstated , it should be Oregon State -1.5 for 5000 instead of Oregon.

That should be a very close game and I could not find a greater winning angle for either team. Plus, never bet on emotion. You can bet we will be watching it.
