Is it time to put the house and 401K on Detroit???

**ChuckyTheGoat** · 10-20-23, 12:30 PM

Why buy up if it's Gold?

Fire away, we all know that Vegas routinely gives money away.

This line is completely baffling. Detroit is near the top of every advanced metrics

And it's not like they've played nobody. They won at mahomes

I thought this line would be -3 Detroit

So you are extremely confident in Detroit yet you need to buy that hook? Buying points is the dumbest thing people can do.

Really? I bought the Chargers to +3 the other night. Same night bought a baseball total up and pushed. Another baseball total the next day or same day can't remember. I think I had 3 pushes in 1.5 days buy buying points/runs etc. That saved me about 1,500-2,000 bucks.

**hehfest** · 10-20-23, 02:45 PM

Is this dude a rec bettor buying and landing on the half?

No Kelce. No Chris Jones.

**raiders72001** · 10-20-23, 03:26 PM

It's hard to find but I would pay 20 cents off/on 3 and 10 cents off/on 7. I do it.

**asiagambler** · 10-20-23, 03:26 PM

Baltimore has a very good defense and at home. There are rightful favourites

However Baltimore is coming off the London game. Last time Harbaugh was in this spot Ravens got trounced by Pittsburgh

**Headsterx** · 10-20-23, 03:51 PM

I don’t care if Lions win the Super Bowl, I’m not betting the whole farm and then relying on Goff to deliver.

You could have just taken the cowboys -1.5 and won instead of pushing. You won none of the bets you bought points on right?

I KNOW people WHO bought hf a point to get 3.5 on Pats the other day at raiders. They were being smart to get the hook. How that work out?

I went 0-0-3 instead of 0-3. If I don't buy points/runs in those situations I'm way worse off today. Does it even out in the end because I lose juice by buying? Maybe it does not matter at the end of the year or whatever.

I've never heard of someone buying to land on the half point. I remember this guy named Chuck Luck with his Comp Line doing that all the time and I would fall to the floor laughing. Chuck Luck McDowell a guy in Nashville that sold time shares and got wealthy.

**Slurry Pumper** · 10-20-23, 06:01 PM

I just rolled out on the money line here +124. If Detroit plays like they have been this year, they will win, if they don't I don't think 3 or a hook will help them. They will lose by 4 or more.

That’s probably the best route if taking Lions.

**raiders72001** · 10-20-23, 08:35 PM

Always check alt lines. Always pay 20 cents for the 3. Always pay 10 cents for the 7. Turned a loss in to a win here. Landed on 11.

Bought from 10.5 to 12. Only paid a penny from 11.5 to 12 so added that too. Normally wouldn't buy a dead number.

**mjsuax13** · 10-20-23, 09:02 PM

As someone who has followed the Lions my entire life… I just don’t know. Are they same old lions or is this different? I just don’t know…

**pavyracer** · 10-20-23, 09:38 PM

When teams from different leagues play throw away the stats. This line screams take the Ravens.

**JIBBBY** · 10-20-23, 09:45 PM

Detroit Lions are balling right now. Not a bad bet going forward.

I don't know about betting the house and 401k on them just yet. I remember Goff is capable of putting up stinkers in the past.

**TheGoldenGoose** · 10-21-23, 01:10 AM

This year belongs to the Lions.
If not now then when?

Buy it up to +4.5. Get off the 3 and 4. Then parlay it with Seahawks ML.

Don't you think it is too easy? How come a team that is 5-1 go from -3.5 last week on the road to +3.5 on the road the next week? This is a trap books are setting.

**OldBill** · 10-21-23, 11:55 AM

And it's not like they've played nobody. They won at mahomes then home -5.5 fav s/u got hammered loss 38-31

I think the Lions win this game outright and the Seahawks roll. The Lions +4.5 and Seahawks ML Parlay helps to negate the possibility of a trap. GL.

Didn’t Chuck Luck use to post on EOG?

**Eddy Munny** · 10-21-23, 09:52 PM

I'm fading this thread. How can you ignore a title like that? Go Ravens!

**homie1975** · 10-21-23, 09:54 PM

I searched him a few years ago and yes he was posting at a few places I think. I was not around or not at the sites where he did that, but I got his comp# from a friend to fade him. I think he stopped his picks about a year ago.

Why, why, why.

I had Baltimore pegged for Borgata's Beat the Book contest.

Game isn't over yet and Baltimore could still lose, but because of what you said, I changed it to Eagles and now I have to pray the Eagles win against Miami which won't be easy.

If Baltimore wins SU, then I could have won a lot of free slot plays. LOL
