Actually, New England are the team that I've sort of followed for quite a few years now. Not fanatical about them though.

Not really. First of all an ordinary NFL player does NOT get $10 mil AU a year. Ordinary players vary from about 1 mil to a few mil. Still, it's much more than in AFL etc and here's why:

NFL is the sole commercial code of footy in a country of 280 million. AFL is just one of 4 codes in a country of just 20 million.

I use the CBS site http://www.sportsline.com, great site to watch live scoring of all NBA games when there not shown on ESPN on foxtel, they also have NFL MLB NHL NCAA PGA TENNIS

Floydyboy.About the chainsaw.I meant recently.

And Mr J,if you weren't so right all the time,I'd reckon you were just a know-it-all.

dont know havent had any cold weather recently

Well they were right
New England 27
Indianapolis 24
Now the odd thing is,is that I took New England -3.0,so they didnt lose and didnt win
but according to my multi the bet is still live,I dont understand why they didnt have 1/2 point option on that game
Cheers

And I had colts +3.5 :wink:

Rabbitz, here's a tip:

When the line is at 3, buy half a point if it costs you 20 cents or less.

E.g, buying from Patriots -3 -110 (1.91) to Patriots -2.5 -130 (1.77).

When games a lined at 3, a push will occur over 11% of the time.

It's stupid for them to put up a line bet with no extra 1/2 point for insurance.

Anyway, I also backed the tip for the 3.5 start on that game. 3 points is a fairly common margin in NFL.

So if you take start that doesnt have a 1/2 pt in it and its a draw(with start)then your bet wins,weird
Cheers

No, it's not a win and it's not a loss. It's called a 'Push'. You simply get your money back. I reckon it's stupid. I think they should always have an extra 1/2 point on the line to make sure that punters either win or lose.
