So you can untie a tie eh, might have to give this a shot, of course what I know about picking college games would fit in a really small hat.

Good luck! Makes all the Bowl games a little more fun and interesting! :elefant:

 

[Synopsis]

I made most of my picks the other day, but I don't expect to do well in it. My betting style is more isolated to a pool of games i see advantages in and trying to exploit the games in as many angles as possible, like second half and live bets. If i go .500 in this id be content with it. I'd expect you to do well ribby, your style is much more expansive than mine.

Good luck! Makes all the Bowl games a little more fun and interesting! :elefant:

You would be surprised at these games. Long layoffs make for interesting results. What happened to the team in their last game before the Bowl Season? How did they finish? What reasons would they be motivated? I am going to roll out a bowl preview tomorrow. Should I put in this thread or College thread or both lol?

 

[Synopsis]

Maybe both, that way if there is any discussion on it it can be done in the actual betting thread and this thread can be less cluttered with people just talking about the actual competition. Kind of like how the eliminator was separate from the NFL thread. At least it makes sense to me that way, others may like it the other way around.

Both seems like a good idea, by the way Rob, don't worry too much about passing along enough advice to make me dangerous, no chance of that happenin.
