Default Oregon...worth a $2000 bet? please advise

Hi,
I'm thinking of putting $2000 on Oregon. You know I have to meet that ridiculous $600,000 rollover.

I think Oregon will win pretty handily. What do you think?

I am picking Arizona State in this one, I think it could be right at a 7 point game. I know it is ridiculous that you have to to roll over that much though, I sure feel for you.

Do yourself a favor and put that money on Oklahoma big time over A&M. It is a big time winner

I dunno man 21 points is a lot and if Bradford struggles passing like he did last week this game could be close (spread wise).

I like the idea of going heavy on one or a few games as opposed to a lot of games with a much lesser amount... I say do a 2 or 3 team teaser for 2K instead... I do like Oaklahoma teased down...

I would not advise messin' around with Arizona St. Yeah they might be over rated but they are a dangerous team and with +7 I say too dangerous...

Curious, Why don't you play $1000 Oregon 1H and $1000 for game? ASU usually starts slow first half and I have a feeling Oregon will come out firing to kill the game.

Personally, I would have thrown that sucker down on the Navy ML against Notre Dame ... good luck with your Oregon bet.

Don't try to get that bonus, there are other ways to make money other than chasing bonuses by throwing huge chunks of money on sides and totals.
