9/8: Pokes host Mike Stoops' Arizona Cats

The current spread has OSU winning by 7, so let's go with that.

And let's have some fun at the Pokes expense while vBetting too

EDIT: And yes, their "blowout" opener was as bad as I've depicted in the vBet options above. It's like they're doomed even in victory. Go Mikey!

 

So if OSU is favored why is Arizona -7? You had Rice -23 the other day and never changed it. Texas should have been -23 and you said not to worry about it. Rice covers and all those who bet Rice lost. Same with TTech and Texas St. You had Texas St. -40. That game was a push.

 

I assumed that you all would have realized that the Big 12 teams were favored against their creampuffs (aside from Baylor/TCU).

I made a mistake on the TTech and Texas St game and should have declared both sides winners. Flak is trying to find a way to correct this, but it looks like once bets are settled they cannot be re-settled... hmmm...

I'm still new at this. Please give me a few college football weeks to get this right.

How bout this: I write it out who is favored, hehe

EDIT: Rice did not cover, they lost 34-9. The spread was 23. They lost by 25.

Hopefully this event can serve as a vForgiveness event, because some of these odds are really high for really likely events. I have very little doubt that less than 55k will show up for a Thursday night game in stilly, unless the Pokes decide to inflate the numbers a lot. Gundy WILL go nuts, it's just a matter of whether the cameras capture it (ESPN loves angry coaches, so I'd have to assume so).

I'll even do an automatic one to show how sorry I am for Saturday game confusion: The Pokes made Sportscenter's Top 10 this morning... on a Weeden INT that doinked off an OSU helmet (specially designed by Nike!). I think odds are very good that they will get on Sportscenter as the only Thursday night college game.

And yes, I will pay out all three if Weeden indeed repeats his Sportscenter "highlight." (or pay the first two if it's a Zona highlight in the Top 10)

 

Why can't I find where to bet? I'm slow, but not that slow.

 

Step-by-step instructions are in the link in my sig line below. If you still can't vBet, let us know.

EDIT: And holy crap are you people confident in our little orange stepbrothers! Was their last game really not that televised? Wait, I already know the answer to that, it wasn't... they looked BAD against U-La-La! Why are you not supporting Mike Stoops? Is it because of the Alamo Bowl blowout? Yes... probably... well, that was last season! Last YEAR! It wasn't even a 2011 bowl like ours! 2010 is so 2010. Vote Zona!

 

Meh. Must be my corporate Barracuda software blocking the spaces.

 

It might be. Someone had trouble using Safari earlier. What browser you using? I use Firefox.

 

IE. I'll try FF.

 

If you can't view the main SF.com page as you mentioned in another thread, it might be the firewall/security/etc at your workplace. However, rest assured, you have till kickoff time-ish on Thursday to vBet if you can't get your bets in right away.

 

OK, just checked with another board that has Vbookie and I am able to see the blanks. So I am thinking something is not turned on for me. The other board is running vBulletin® Version 3.8.7.

 

I wish I knew what to tell you. I'll let flak know and see if he has any advice.

 

Man...where did you see this line? Okie State is 13.5+ every where I'm looking.

 

I'm using Chrome and can no longer bet. I could before. Here's what it looks like:

 

I posted the line two days ago. Methinks that people are betting real money like we are vBetting play money --- en masse for Pokey. Thus, the line's grown a lot in a few days.

 

Thanks for the screenshot. Any chance I could con you into trying it on Firefox, just to make sure it isn't a browser issue? If not, I have Chrome at home and I'll try it on Chrome there to see if I get similar errors.

Please keep error reports coming in. I'd love to get any and all problems solved during a Bye Week rather than Florida State week.

 

I'm on FF right now and still no blanks. it looks cutoff to me or something. I'm not savvy enough to post a pic, but still no betting in either Safari or FF. My Safari display looks just like the chrome.

 

I really am at a loss of what to do... if it looks like it's cutoff, can you change your screen resolution, or font size (the mouse scroller thingie while holding CTRL, yeah) to see if that does anything?

 

I tried all of that. I dont know what changed between the OU game and now... It worked then.

 

Did you use a different computer? I am now using Chrome and can see the betting options. Hmm...

 

I was using the same computer a week ago and could bet. Not so much now.
