    Default I'm Everyone's Lucky Bookie Apparently

    Take fairly small (<$1000 generally) action from friends, and took a bunch of action for this game uniquely. I'd estimate 80% of my sides were the G-Men, 60% of my totals were the under, and over half my parlays were Giants-Under. I booked it and I'll pay it, but what a ****ing calamity. I know a couple of other books were majority G-Men and roughly 50/50 unders, but thank God I didn't offer MLs like they did. I'd be especially curious how the ML numbers played out for theGreek's and BetJM's out there. You always expect some heavy bridge jumper ML action on inflated numbers (as well as a bunch more tied to parlays), but I have a feeling a fair amount of folks actually spotted the value tonight. It'll be interesting to hear...

    Congrats to everyone on the G-Men and the Under, and a special kudos to those on the Giants ML. You were clearly on the right side from the onset. Cheers...

    Damn, wish I was on the Giants, Under, Giants & Under....

    I thorughly believed NE would dominate this game. Took NE -400 for a lot. Boy was I wrong.

    It's funny how New England has everyone brainwashed into thinking they have a magic switch and if you piss them off, they're going to flip it and blow the other team out....why would this game be that much different than the game that was played just before this one. The Giants were hungry bigtime!

    I did too BuddyBear, and was more than happy to have a bunch of action on the Pats spread +110 in essence. If I'd offered the ML on the game I'd be looking to join the French Foreign Legion tomorrow I believe

    i wish i hadn't already put money on the Pats, when i read a tidbit in my local paper today saying that the Pats organization had took out a patent before the Chargers game on the term "19-0" and "19-0 The perfect season". when i read that, the thought of bad karma came to my mind.

    LOL BB, I like the Giants and the under (see my NFL best bets post), and I still held my buddy's money on the Giants ML. To make matters worse is I could have layed it off during the game (I gave him +425) at better than that and +600 at least 3 times during the game and didn't. Holding his bets will cost me under a dime but still stings because I didn't believe NE could lose this game. My handicapping showed NE 3 points better so I guess a fair line would have been a lot less than +425 so I should have layed it off at some point.
