    Well, index funds are quite popular in all of our retirement portfolios. Why pay the extra fees for some overpaid fund manager who can't beat the S&P500 on a regular basis?

    (I'd meant to put some bets in, and I guess I thought I had done so. I would have been a push on the day.)

            Did the line move from 3' to 35 while I was asleep last night?

              Many have it at 4 now.

                I know. But you work the hook to avoid pushes and the more natural hook at this point is 3' instead of 4'. Neither of which is 17' -- which is about where I'd need to be to back Ohio State.

                  And I just called my book and placed a real money bet on...Auburn to cover. We won't beat them by 25. Crazy line.

                    -Of the 4 lines I checked, three have it as 4 and one has it as 3.5. To avoid a push, that goes to 3.5.

                      EFZ. That's why it was more natural to go 3' instead of 4'. It's not rocket science.

                        Push all those chips in, man. You must like betting a number in Roulette. In that game you have about a 96% chance of losing a bet on a single number. Right now, osu has a 40% chance of winning v. Michigan. At least it's a better pick than trying to win the lottery, something you said was akin to picking osu to win.
                        Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.

                          The thing is, I think that is a good line. The Bama-AU line, not so much. There is ZERO way we win by 25.

                            Honestly, Buchanan, I'm a little concerned that I'm going to eat a true assfucking middle. In gambling, lines move, as you know. So, Vegas may have gads of money on a team +7' and gads of money on the opposite team at -6' -- for the same game. Getting middled is when the game comes it a 7 and they lose both ways.

                            Here, the true assfuckery middle is a M win by 3 or less. I'd be much happier if the game were just a PK. Then the threat of getting middled is eliminated. As it is, I can see M "slowly dominating" the game and then giving up a last second score to turn a 10 point win into a 3 point win. I think that's pretty unlikely. I think it's at least a 3 score game. But, getting middled would be the nightmare.

                              The Bama line certainly does stands out.

                                Oh, I didn't even see the WV-OU line. Good god. OU. I wish I hadn't submitted any picks last week and had way more money
