Super Bowl XLIII, Sunday February, 1 2009. Arizona Cardinals vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

[PerpetualCzech]

Uh oh, that coin toss not a good start for prop bettors ...

[daringly]

Arizona defers? D'oh!

[Jon in Oakland]

I always thought it was illegal for an offensive player to grab the ball carrier and propel him forward. There is (or at least used to be) a penalty for assisting the runner.

[PerpetualCzech]

Was about to post same. Should've been a penalty.

PS Tomlin's a wuss.

[DiscreetCat]

Ouch. Tough beat for anyone who had Roethlisberger to score the first touchdown (roughly 25/1 around town).

I did too, but I've seen much more obvious ones by more than one player on other plays.

[PerpetualCzech]

I missed the 47's pregame so I've been trying to find ways to bet Under Live throughout the entire 1st H. No luck yet. I'm hoping for at least 7 more points rest of the way so maybe there'll be a nice number for 2H betting.

[PerpetualCzech]

Under

[PerpetualCzech]

Took Under 23 -109. Finally found the pregame 47 I was working so hard for :)

[The Chaperone]

I just bet AZ 2h +.5 -110 at Mirage. Was a little overexposed on PIT ML pre-game and this was a good number. This is a middle you can drive a Mac Truck through, but I run really bad so we'll just have to see...

[The Chaperone]

Took Under 23 -109. Finally found the pregame 47 I was working so hard for :)

Your bet got urinated on, but I'm not sure why. I really didn't get the UN 23 EV that popped, but I couldn't bet it as I already have a lot of UN 47.5 and 48 as well as tons of under type props...

[PerpetualCzech]

Market pissed on me and I had to pile on with more Under 23 +100. Somebody stop me before I do some real damage lol

[The Chaperone]

Had to bite on UN 21.5 +120 at the Greek. Not exactly sure what the 22 is worth, but I'm hoping not much :)

[PerpetualCzech]

I got filled on my MB -440 ML offer too.

[PerpetualCzech]

I got that one too. Me likey.

[The Chaperone]

Looks like it was Sundown who urinated on your under :)

[PerpetualCzech]

-440 is relatively easy to fill over at MB. That's the nuts IMO

[The Chaperone]

I just bet UN 23.5 EV in town. Fading Sundown.

[The Chaperone]

Also bet Fitzgerald under 4.5 receptions in the 2nd half -120.

LOL

[PerpetualCzech]

Review that shit!!

[Jon in Oakland]

That's got to be a forward pass.

[Jon in Oakland]

Shouldn't a coach be afforded unlimited challenges as long as he's correct?

[PerpetualCzech]

Yeah, no rush to get an extra play off with the Q ends! :)

[PerpetualCzech]

Greek offering juice free live betting.

-12.5 +105

4Q AZ -0.5 -105

[PerpetualCzech]

I like Pitt the rest of the way. AZ won't kick FGs.

[PerpetualCzech]

I've always scratched my head over this one too. FWIW, that's the rule in tennis.

[Prop Man]

finally had time to check in. grading all those props is a full time job :) just about every play had a prop winning or losing.

[Prop Man]

Steelers/Parker can't seem to run against the ARI defense. That's a good sign for a miracle comeback for ARI

[PerpetualCzech]

Just took Under 40.5 +130 after that TD. Pitt probably goes for two.

[PerpetualCzech]

That's such a weak call ...

[PerpetualCzech]

Am I crazy or was kicking the FG the right move there?

[insanity]

i dont think rackers has enough range


edit: here comes the safety....

[PerpetualCzech]

Has a running play up the middle from your Own 1 ever gone for more than a 2-yard gain in the entire history of the NFL??

[Jon in Oakland]

Good spot for an intentional safety?

[ahearnb]

I didn't bet no safety, but that was, at best, a horseshit call. Fuck.

[PerpetualCzech]

It's Pats/Giants all over again :(

[PerpetualCzech]

Just took +6.5 -30000 lol

[ahearnb]

It's Pats/Giants all over again :(

Yep.

I hate my life.

[Jon in Oakland]

How can that last play not be reviewed? That was an incomplete pass. With the Personal Foul the Cards would have had the ball at about the 30.

[MadLib]

Guess who bet no motherfucking safety -800 ... even when I hit a huge middle I don't win shit. I run worse than anybody ever.

[ahearnb]

Yep.

I hate my life.

Well, life still sucks....but at least I'm richer.

[WarDekar]

I got that one too. Me likey.

Glad to know I'm not completely crazy- I was about to bet more but then one of you must've hit it, plus it went back to u23+100 at Pinny so I didn't like it as much but the +120 when -105 was around $$$$

[ahearnb]

Namath doesn't seem to be drunk. Where is Suzy Kolber?

[MadLib]

Not only do I hate my life, but now I'm going to hate everybody else when I am subjected to Chaperone and Fezzik telling everybody who listens (and those who don't care) how the sharps always clean up.

I think I hate McAulay more than I hate Leavy. I've never been so pissed and made money.

It was a complete bullshit call and I feel your pain, even though I didn't bet the no safety. Only reason is because I didn't see the line you did (i.e. I'm too slow and too lazy). Also, the most pissed off I've been was when I won (or lost very little) as well.

[Prop Man]

Wow, what a game. Gambling aside, that was just a great football game to watch.
