I wanted to let the betting line settle a bit before I posted this. The Rams opened as 1.5 point favorites, but the line has swung way over the the Patriots. I'm using the current Bovada line of Patriots -3 right now.

[DemonGeminiX]

Can you edit it and change the line if needed? Or would you have to delete this one and post a new one?

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I can change the line until the first wager is placed. Once that happens the line is locked in because I can't keep track of who placed what wager at what line. Plus, we aren't a sports book and it's only fake money :lol:

From what I was reading this morning, they don't expect the line to move too much more. There's a few sports books that still have the Pats at -2.5 right now, but those lines are expected to follow suit and move to NE -3.

Need to ask a dumb betting question. So if I bet on the Rams they have to beat the Pats by 4 to make the -3 thing?

Nope, other way around...right now the Patriots are 3 point favorites, so that means they are spotting LA 3 points. If you make this bet, that means realistically that the score is already 3-0 Rams over the Patriots.

Thanks. I really don't know much about betting and haven't ever bet online.

So a minus sign = the team being favored by that much :-k

So if the Patriots win by 3, it's a push and no one wins. And for the bet on the Patriots to win, they have to beat the Rams by 4 or more.

And if it's Pats 2 and Rams -1, the Pats haven't beat the spread :face:

Time's starting to wind down, get your wagers in....

Personally, I doubt I'll even watch this one, I might have it on in the background, but I really couldn't care less about either team. Although it's my hate of Tom Brady and the Patriots that makes me pull for the Rams.

[Goofy]

Is the game played at the Rams stadium? Dont you use neutral venues for big finals? :-k

Yeah, the venues are chosen years in advance. This year it's being played in Atlanta.

So why does it say "New England at LA Rams" when they're plainly not at LA? :tapfoot: Weird Yanks and their daft 'at' things [-(

Because technically someone needs to be the 'home team' and this year it's the team from the NFC.

C'mon Daddy Warbucks. Throw that 4666 on the Rams. The Patriots are The Borg in this case, because they've won so much in the past.

No...do you have Twitter allowed under NoScript? If you don't, it won't show up.

[Hal-9000]

I've got ad block plus but no NoScript :-s

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I turned off Adblock and same thing. Did a quick google and some other FF users are noticing this in the past couple of weeks. User had something called adguard blocking embedded tweets.

[Hal-9000]

It's a Firefox feature, grrrrr :x

They advise some poor guy to delete his profile, remove all extensions one by one, reinstall FF, rinse and repeat etc....nothing changes.

You go in to FF options/privacy and security tab and untick trackers, block all known trackers. :facepalm:


Lance would you mind embedding a different Tweet so I can confirm? Thanks.

Thanks Lance.

Aaaaand Firefox just updated itself and changed the privacy and security tab settings again :doh:

I just unticked the standard, strict and custom headings and it works :thumbsup:

The only reason I bet on the Patriots was because nobody else did.

[PorkChopSandwiches]

I did

[PorkChopSandwiches]

Aw crap, I thought I did :(

[Teh One Who Knocks]

:empathy:

The Rams couldn't have beaten a Girl Scout troop last night.

[PorkChopSandwiches]

Both sides were garbage

[Hal-9000]

I'm glad I didn't bet real money on that game last night.

Worst kind of football to lay money on...one score either way for most of the game could have decided it.

[Hal-9000]

Rams played some pretty good defense considering who they were up against. That could have easily been a 40 point blow out because of Goff's performance (and his offense).
