Let It Ride – Divisional Playoffs Jan11

Let It Ride – Divisional Playoffs...

After a strong opening weekend of the NFL Playoffs let’s see if we can keep the momentum going in the Divisional round. I’ll openly admit laying heavy lumber not in my DNA but have a feeling this is the weekend to do it. Bucking the sharp money that’s come in on SD and going a bit off the radar with a derivative bet in New England vs Indianapolis.  Don’t judge the shirt collar, I take no responsibility for the fashion fopah....

Luck of the Irish

Paddy Public takes a bad line but lives to tell about it. You can now follow @paddy_public on twitter The day? January 1st 2014. The time? Mid-afternoon. The situation? I had woken up a bit later than usual due to the previous night’s festivities and had missed placing a bet on UGA/Nebraska under like I wanted too. As I sat watching the scoreless 1st first quarter roll on and the in-game total drop from 59 to 53 to 49 I was literally pulling my hair out knowing I had missed on what I figured was the biggest lock of New Year’s Day. After UGA kicked a FG to take a 3-0 lead at the start of the 2nd quarter I did what any smart bettor would do (Disclaimer: This is not what any smart bettor would do. In fact it is the exact opposite) and fired on the live in-game under at 44. Yes 44.5. Meaning I had taken a number approximately 17 points less than what it had closed at pre-game. But, the game was nearly a third of the way finished and there were still just three points scored so I figured I was golden. Of course you all know what happened next. Nebraska promptly scored a TD off of a muffed punt and the two teams combined for three more field goals to leave me with a halftime score of 10-9. Somewhat nervous, I looked to see what the 2H line was as I wanted to get out of my bet because the late flurry of scoring had me uneasy. The line was set at 26, setting the total at 45 for the game. No luck, I was stuck. The 3rd quarter brought more unwanted points for Paddy Public, highlighted by...

Let It Ride – BCS Edition Jan06

Let It Ride – BCS Edition...

It’s been one hell of a journey picking games on national TV this fall. Special thanks to the folks at Fox Sports for giving Clay Travis and I a platform to talk about games from a gambling perspective on a national platform.  The two of us have disagreed all year long, quite frankly it’s no surprise it happened yet again leading into tonight’s national championship.  As always I enjoy your feedback so please feel free to email about the show regarding things you liked, didn’t like, want added, etc because I’d love to hear from you the fans (and haters) to better tailor the content to your liking.

Reliving Beef O’Brady’s...

The names have been changed to protect the identity of both bettors caught in this exchange. The scary part is there’s a good chance you follow one of the character’s on twitter already.  Eventually we’ll get Paddy Public into the social media realm but for now he’s embarrassed by his “unorthodox” betting tendencies.  Don’t try any of this at home without the supervision of an adult but rest assured Paddy Public will regale you with plenty more tales in the coming weeks So as I said before, I have had the privilege over the past year to get to know some very successful sports bettors, one of whom also happens to be my neighbor. The reason I tell you this is because earlier this week I was over at his place watching the Beef O’ Brady Bowl and sitting on  an ECU ticket when the following conversation occurred after an ECU INT with 3:28 left (We’ll call him Sir Sharp): Paddy P: Yessss! Paddy public is back in business baby! Sir Sharp: What happened? Paddy P: ECU picked off Tettleton and Ohio got called for a personal foul after the play. ECU ball on the 25. I’m still alive! Sir Sharp: Christ you’re lucky. Paddy P: Lucky? I’m anything but lucky. ECU should be up 20 right now if they could convert a damn 4th down. Sir Sharp: Yea… Ok.  Weren’t they down 20-17 at the beginning of the quarter? More importantly what number do you have? It closed at -13.5. Or did you end up laying 14? Paddy P: Uhhh I don’t know. 14 I think? But I might have played them at -14.5. I’m not really sure, I bet it pretty early this morning. Sir Sharp: You don’t know what number you...

Resolutions

We all make resolutions every year…most of them we don’t have any intentions of keeping. Let’s make a change for the bettor (pun intended) starting in 2014...
