Vegas 2012 - Part 1: The Bowl Games

Good morning everyone.  As you can tell by the title, this will be the first of many entries on my recent trip to Las Vegas.  I will probably mix in some rambles and entries covering other subject matter as I do the Vegas series, but you will be reading a lot about my trip in the near future.

This entry is geared specifically toward the college bowl games that my sponsorship group and myself have action on during the next couple of weeks.  Near the end of my trip I decided that I would budget the pool money so that each contributor would get at least 50% of their money back.  In addition to that money, we still have 29 parlay tickets that are alive, including a ticket that will put $110.00 back into the pool if Alabama (-10) beats Notre Dame on January 7th, so we're guaranteed action through the final bowl game.  The Bowling Green/San Jose State and Ohio/Louisiana Monroe matchups are the only games that we do not have action on.  Below is the list of bowls that we do have action on, including point spreads, teaser and superteaser numbers, overs/unders, etc...

12/27 - Baylor/UCLA - Baylor (+9), (Over 80.5)

And there you have it.  This should help to keep all of us occupied until San Marcos, America comes back to life during the spring semester.  Have a great day and I'll see you tomorrow!

  1. No need to post this, but I think you have the Baylor/UCLA line (+9)mixed up with the Cincy/Duke one (+1).

    Good luck!

    1. Thanks for looking out for me Mr. Duck. The Baylor and Cincy lines, along with several others, are "superteasers" - the superteasers have several points added to them, and you have to bet more money or win more games to make money on those cards. I used the superteasers to give my group action on the vast majority of the bowl games... ;)
