Is the sarcasm really necessary? Considering I asked politely and acknowledged I could well be in the wrong. Rooster has pegged my thinking – something like… Essendon to finish OVER or UNDER 8th on the ladder OVER = 1-7 UNDER = 9-18 That’s how I read the Barkley market - Matt Barkley to be...

You've just put it a lot more clearly than I did. Exactly right. But I can also see both sides. Anyway, I've emailed them and we'll see what happens. But I reckon this will go down as a lesson against assuming anything. Thanks for the advice all, mods can pull the pin on this one now if its...

Thanks for the quick replies. I don't remember the wording exactly, and no, didn't take a screenshot. Guess I was a little bit stupid in not clarifying before I submitted, but live and learn I suppose. I can understand where they (and some of you) are coming from. Just a piss poor worded...

Hi gents Having a bit of a dispute with Sportsbet, and wanted the advice of some more learned punters. I had a stab at an NFL draft market I liked the look of - USC Quarterback Matt Barkley’s draft position. The Over/Under was set at pick 35.5. I knew he’d fall into the third or fourth...

3 for me today. YTD 6-8-0 -7.6 units 3U Chicago +5 @2.00 (Betstar $2.00 power lines) 3U Marshall o89.5 yards @1.74 (Bet365) 3U o50.5 @1.90 @1.90 (Bet365) GL and go Bears!

I need to declare that I’ve been a Bears fan for years, but I like the Bears to cover that line as well. The Bears offence is several classes above anything Chicago has seen since Payton was going around. It has a good QB and running game, and has finally been giving the receiving tools to...

Reckon I might do the same until I get a feel for the season, unless one sticks out at me as being really, really stupid (ie, Marshall at 70 yards). Oh well, long season, and things should shake out. And hey, if nothing else, still got 93 or so units to blow or turn into a profit, so no...

Baltimore play hit, two player props missed (Floyd by 2.5 yards, sadly). Week 1 in the books. My eye is out, especially with the player props. Going to go nurse my pride for a few days, regroup, avoid swinging for the fence and have a slow and steady week two. YTD: 6-8-0 (-7.6 units)

Agreed Pweter – tough card. I like the Ravens for a small play. Bengals were 0-7 vs playoff teams last year, and Ravens are unveiling their no huddle. At home, I think it’s a good play. Only a nibble though, because I rate the Bengals this year. Also a couple of big props in the...

Week 1 NFL (Cont): Roethlisberger play went to plan. Pittsburgh couldn’t get the run going very well, Big Ben was warming up after a slow first quarter, mini-shootout in the second half with Manning, but couldn’t quite get there. One more 15 yarder would have done it on the second last drive...

Week 1 NFL (Cont): YTD: 5-6-0 (+1.4 units ) 3U Patriots -4.5 vs Titans @2.00 (Betstar $2 powerlines) - big play hits. Ridiculous line and the Pats cruise it. 3U Brandon Marshall o76.5 yards receiving @1.80 (Bet365) – big play hits. Cutler’s favourite target covered it by half-time and was...

Week 1 NFL (Cont): YTD: 0-2-0 (o_O) 3U Patriots -4.5 vs Titans @2.00 (Betstar $2 powerlines) 3U Brandon Marshall o76.5 yards receiving @1.80 (Bet365) 2U Falcons -1.5 vs Chiefs @2.00 (Betstar $2 powerlines) 2U Eagles -9.5 vs Browns @2.00 (Betstar $2 powerlines) 2U Saints -7.5 vs Redskins...

Looks like I misread that one badly. Romo stood tall and the Giants D-Line couldn’t get it done at key points. And their secondary… let’s not talk about that. Thought I might steal the total with the Giants’ late rally, but it wasn’t to be. On with the week, and while it’s not ideal that...

Week 1 NFL: YTD: 0-0-0 1U Giants -3.5 vs Cowboys @1.90 (Bet365) 1U Giants vs Cowboys O45.5 @1.90 (Bet365) GL all, and welcome back football!

*sigh* Bears should have won. Forced 3 turnovers and Cutler missed three wide open passes into the endzone. Good bye season.

Bears etch out a fairly solid win at home. Defence got a pulse again, which is nice and Forte found some gaps. But seriously, Lovie, FIX THE DAMN OFFENSIVE LINE, IT IS PLAYING THE WORST IN THE NFL.

Terrible performance from the Bears. There's just too many holes in this roster for the good parts to make up for, I fear. The defence couldn't stop a thing in the first half, Frank Omiyale can piss right off from the O-Line, and it would be nice if the richly paid D-line would find...

I only looked over the Essendon players - but pretty much all of his calls on our guys in those years were correct, look back.

Chicago football!

Come on Bears, keep 'em out!

TOUCHDOWN BEARS! Cutler to Hester on a bomb. And the 2pts... Hi folks!

I was here last week when they lost badly, too! I just don’t post much in the off-season. I've been on the Bears for about six years on this forum, from the single digit win season, to the Kyle Orton rookie sideshow, to Cedric Benson, the Superbowl run, Wrecks Gross-man til now. I don't like the...

Huge performance from the Bears this morning. Urlacher out for the year, Cutler coming back from probably his worst game ever, Superbowl champs in town – things were ripe for a shocker. Cutler looked a lot more calm and got the job done in the last quarter, the offensive line continues...

Double post - sorry mods.

Oh, I totally understand that is his gig, and I have no doubt that when he lights up the board for a few quick TDs at some point, I’ll be praising him as the messiah. The true value of Cutler’s arm will come in the winter, when Chi-town gets cold, windy, wet and hard to play at. But fact is...

Hi guys, back again for the new season. I was pretty excited about the Bears this year, but I’m sitting here hoping that Cutler is bringing his worst first. Can’t believe what I’m seeing. I know he’s a gunslinger, but throws across the body, trying to pick out Hester between two...

*dusts off the off-season for his first post in months* Very happy with this move that brings a young, high-calibre quarterback to the Bears for the firs time...ever. I called a friend of mine this morning and he put it best: "Mate, in the 10 years we've both been following them, Cutler will...

Re: Week 12 Another pick

Stoked with Forte, as should Titans fans be with Johnson. Kevin Smith from Detroit putting up some good numbers, too.

Vale Rex Grossman Sorry for starting a whole thread on this, guys, I just needed to vent. Also apologies for my absence from the board this year, I’m still on the Bears thick and thin, just got less time to post on the net these days. Six hours ago, Rex Grossman was the emergency starting...
