    AA, I think we're allowed to bet the dog to win v. the spread like I did with USC, right?
    Yes, you can bet either.

    So, your bets are...

    Clemson -6.5 for $500
    Ohio State -6.5 for $500
    And Stanford +6.5 for $500?

    Is that correct, Jeff?

      Just put the team you are betting on and the amount.

      For example:

      Poly Tech -3.5 vs Northern State (remember Poly Tech -3.5 also means Northern State +3.5)

      *If you take Poly Tech, you are betting that they win by 4 or more.
      *If you take Northern State you are betting that if they lose, they lose by 3 or less (or win outright).

      So if Poly Tech wins 28-26, you win if you took Northern State +3.5.

      So, in that example, Poly Tech for $500 means you lose $500. Northern State for $500 means you win $500.

        Yep, the reason I asked is because I screwed that up on the C-State C game. I meant to bet Colorado and probably mindlessly changed the +/- signs on C-State.

        Good explanation above too. I'm not a regular better anymore. Used to be but no more. Shaking out the cob-webs on betting ATS. So, thanks for that.
        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.

          I don't think osu is going to cover. IU's D is decent, it's on the road. We have no idea what DeBord's offense is going to look like...... other than there will be a lot of off-tackle left runs. And that's regardless of whether or not they produce any gains.
          Yeah, on this, the way it's written, you took Colorado State +5.5 for $500.

          All you need to do is post who you want and the amount you're wagering. Re-posting the spread isn't necessary. Just know that -5.5 (or whatever) means that your pick has to win by 6 or more.

          +5.5 (or whatever) means that your pick can lose by as much as 5 points.

          And that if team A is -5.5 then team B is +5.5 (even if the mirror spread isn't posted).

              I was really close to upping my wager on M like Hack, was really confident in them but held off due to the homer effect I tend to have betting on M.

                      You people betting Ohio State are fools.
