You must bet a minimum of 1 game and 1,000 units each week

Wagers must be posted on the TDB (preferred) or they can be emailed to: info@trojandailyblog.com.
I will review each wager to make sure that it was correctly placed. I will then respond to your entries to let you know that they have been accepted.
If you do not see your wager acknowledgement please contact me as soon as possible by posting a comment on the blog prior to the first game you have wagered on.

First Prize is: 150.00
Second Prize is: 75.00

If two people end up in first place, then the first and second prize will be added together and that amount will be split between the two winners.
I will handle all disputes and my decision will be final.
Anyone can be removed from the contest for exhibiting poor sportsmanship, as determined by me.
By making wagers on the games you acknowledge you agree to these rules.
John Weld—————————————————————-
USC -20.5 for 6000 on Homecoming day and the first home game in nearly a month. Coaching staff will want to put on a show for the Alumni.
Fight On. ✌
I am sure that we will win, but no more betting for or against SC to cover the spread.
Oregon St +4.5 for 500
Tennessee +9.5 for 500
Notre Dame +3.5 for 500
ASU +10.5 for 500
Fight On!
I have had my best success following the “Rock rule” – betting the opposite of Rock. So, I will continue to play that game. I am unwilling to beat against USC but 20 points is simply too many points to give with this SC D, especially if Gentry does not play. So, I will pass on that game. Oregon State plays like a top 10 team at home but not so much on the road. So, I will pass on that game. And, I like betting against Sark. So, this week: ASU +10.5 for 500 (Rock rule) KState +2.5 for… Read more »
I am happy to oblige, RJJ!
USC -20.5 for 4,000
ASU +10.5 for 1,000
✌
Kansas State +2.5 for 1000 Sark loses again seat gets hotter
Tennessee +9.5 for 1000 best team in the nation today
Cal/USC over 59.5 for 500 USC defense keeps it close
Alabama -13.5 for 500 Roll Tide
If I had any more money I would have bet on ND and OR St.
Washington -4.5 for 2000
Clemson -3.5 for 2000
I’m not getting fooled again. It’s like the odds makers haven’t been paying attention. Maybe they roll the dice? Anyway I love losing so…
CAL +20.5 for 3,000
Ucla -10.5 for 500
And USC gets screwed by the refs more than twice for 5,000
(I suppose that’s not a bet, but I still bet it will happen.)
Alright everyone, I know you’ve been waiting for it: What will Rock bet so I can take the opposite? Well, I find myself once again in a battle for survival this week — there are a lot of marbles in my world. Every single bet I have made for (or in one case against) SC has been a loss. I will not apologize for believing in our guys! Nevertheless, I cannot put my last 1K on (or against) the Trojans (or on the over/under). The last time I was in this position, I bet my last 1K against the Bruins,… Read more »
I’m with you Rock2112, put my jinx on the Bruins, it’s worth it.
I am thinking about betting the farm on K St. Thinking…
Oregon state +4.5 for 500
USC -20.5 for 1000
over 59.5 for 500
oklahoma -3.5 for 500
WSU -4.5 for 500
Tennessee +9.5 for 500
LSU +13.5 for 500
Kansas St +2.5 for 3000
Clemson -3.5 for 500
Cal +20.5 for 1000.
Oregon beat Cal by 18, SC is supposed to beat them by 21? Of course this means SC will easily cover.
Thinking that the over may be a good bet on that game Golden. But still thinking…
My question on the ‘over’ is, how many points do you think CAL will score.
Does the fact that it is Homecoming mean the team will try to put on a show.
Does CAL even know they have a football team? Does their football team even know they have a football team?
CAL opened the season with a 34-13 win against FCS school UC DAVIS. Thankfully, USC, which is the only FBS school that has never scheduled an FCS school (I think, please correct me if I’m wrong) canceled the UC DAVIS game once Bohn took over. Thanks to The Cat, when I think of USC vs CAL, I think of the horribly disappointing 15-14 Coliseum loss in 2018. Or last year when USC lost 24-14 in Berkeley when some Trojan players refused to play in the last game of the season. USC owes the Bears a big can of you-know-what. I’m… Read more »
Allen, I am just not sure we can stop anybody. And I mean ANYbody.
I agree. USC doesn’t stop people, but 7-1 is nothing I’m gonna bark at. As a fan, I hold out hope that USC’s D will have somehow rounded up into better shape by the UCLA and ND games. But I’m past the point of counting on that. Just too many holes. But I am counting on some healthier players. This will always be a very memorable Trojan team for me. Before the season, I predicted a 9-3 reg season. We could easily end up right there. The just-assembled team seems like it’s still coming together and seemingly has strong chemistry.… Read more »
I had 9-3 for the reg season too,starting way back in January. My thinking back then was losses to Utah, ND or UCLA and a random one like STAN or OSU. I’m hoping for 10-2 now as I don’t see SC losing back-to-back vs UCLA and ND. I’m very concerned about UCLA and DTR. He torched us last year and our hope this year is to outscore the bRUINS.
Ya, a loss to DTR/Charbonnet and UCLA on Nov. 19 would put a major damper on USC’s trajectory. But if it happens, at least USC gets a crack to redeem itself hosting ND two days after Thanksgiving on Nov. 26.
It’s a lot to ask this “makeshift” Trojan team to beat those teams back-to-back coming right off the lost Helton years, especially with USC’s porous D. Hopefully, USC’s Goforth and Gentry get back to starting speed fast because we need those guys desperately.
No times set yet for either UCLA or ND.
ESPN said today that only two of the teams likely to be CFP contenders in the initial rankings play elite defense — Georgia and Michigan. That is the state of college football today. It seems to me that today’s offensive schemes are designed to quickly distribute the ball to just about any part of the field, and in many ways playing defense has become a guessing game, or more pointedly, a gambling exercise. Like in blackjack, skill can improve your odds, but you are going to get burned once in a while no matter what you do. I say this… Read more »
Now that’s just plain funny!
I figure USC for 45-50 so can Cal score 10-15? USC will carry the load on the overs and I think with our defense Cal will hit the end zone a couple of times.
