Man did Hobbs get burnt on that last play...  | | |

The game got a little boring in the middle, but the end of the game was pretty exciting. Glad to see some good football! |
Bliss to you!

Who cares! What a phenom game, totally rediculous 4th qt... After that rediculous escape and the great catch I had to root for the Giants to close it out! | | |

If it were real cash though, I'd be singing a different tune (aka, The Blues). | |

Credits: 347,300 Year: 2001 Degree: BS CprE NFL: Bears MLB: Cubs | Re: Credit & Betting Meltdown Thread I had 0 early yesterday... Ended up going to 125k... I had 1,000 on the Giants @ 25 to 1, which really helped, and I had credits on the Giants to cover the initial 14 and the 11.5! Some other random bets too... The Giants have been good to me all post season!
I'm lovin' it! | |

Gordy looks like he is a good gambler. Guess the Pats are not the best team ever. TBrady and TonyRomeo must have seen too much action in their offtimes - neither had great games against the Giants. Manning looked like Eli is Coming!
The bank is operating like a casino - with every bet the bank seems to come out the winner by a certtain % or either the rich are getting richer like the 4 millionaires.... | EIU is the other Okoboji University for serious students and home of Captain Kirk who pilots the Enterprise on its Trek through the Universe for finding his next great job.

Credits: 101,053 NFL: Chiefs MLB: Royals | Re: Credit & Betting Meltdown Thread I did very well from the Superbowl and from other events over the last week. I am now 12/13 on my last 13 bets. I went from having 0 credits in my possession (out on a couple bets) to nearly 500k now. My highest total ever.
I have no complaints!!  | Chizik: "One thing that I’d encourage our fans… I want them to be the loudest stadium in the Big 12. I don’t care… I want Jack Trice stadium to be the loudest in the Big 12 and I think that creates homefield advantage.... I want to stress to everyone…I want this place to be juiced up. They bought 36,000 season tickets so there is a passion there…don’t hide it… let it out. I want there to be a passion in the stadium."
