Tips for Tikay

[tikay]

In the early NFL televised game, we are on Reggy Bush to have over 78.5 RushingYards.

He has 14 yards so far, with 2 minutes remaining in the first quarter.

In this game your ideal scenario is for Detroit to get ahead ideally by quite a lot.  Your worst scenario is for Chicago to go ahead by a lot and Detroit to have to throw the ball away.....just in case you are watching and want the extra sweat!!!

Perfect!

That's what NFL Newbies need in bets like this, some understanding of the nuances, thanks Stu.

Was a while back, but you might remember Reggie from this advert with Major-General Lord Sir Becks of Beckham:



He was playing for New Orleans then, iirc.

My NFL Column this week talks about the Bengals. We are well placed, but there are clouds on the horizon due to injuries

"Cincinnati Bengals at Baltimore Ravens

Every team is dealing with injuries at this point in the season, but the Bengals have been hit with huge injury problems.

All-Pro defensive tackle Geno Atkins went down with a season-ending ACL injury last week to become the fourth defensive starter (along with No. 1 corner Leon Hall, safety Taylor Mays and Defensive End Robert Geathers) to land on the Injured Reserve. Starting middle linebacker Rey Maualuga and Andy Dalton’s blind-side Andrew Whitworth missed last week’s game and will both probably be on the sidelines again this Sunday when the Bengals visit the Ravens.

That said, the Bengals are in a relatively comfortable place in the AFC North standings. They’re 6-3, and the rest of the division — Browns (4-5), Ravens (3-5) and Steelers (2-6) — is a mess. However, a loss on Sunday might open the door for Baltimore to sneak back into the race, especially with a second Bengals/Ravens game on the last game of the season.

The biggest thing working against that potential Ravens revival? They’re just not that good this season. Their biggest issue is the running game which  has resulted in Baltimore averaging a league-low 2.78 yards a carry this year However all the indications are that Ray Rice is finally healthy and ready to have a far more effective second half of the season. With Atkins missing, the stars are aligned for this to begin on Sunday

To see the Ravens priced as 2 point underdogs on the spread to a Bengals team so beat up is an opportunity. The Ravens need to win badly, they are at home and the spread offered reflects the risks"

Haven't had a bet yet but this is also one of the few I like this week.

I think this game may be a good opportunity to introduce Fred to the delights of NFL teasers.  This is a really great game to use in teasers.  Can anyone give me an idea which books Fred has access to offer teasers (if any)

You'll have to explain this to me, Stu. Use short words, please.

Okay - so teasers are bets offered by some bookmakers (they are very popular in the States) in American football and basketball where in return for having to bet more teams you get a better handicap.  In NFL it is generally 6,6.5 or 7 points.  So lets take the example of the Ravens and Denver games.  The Ravens +2 10/11 and Denver are -7 10/11.  In this example you can "tease" Baltimore to +8 and Denver to -1 with a 6 point teaser and they both would have to cover the news spreads for you to get paid at, say, 10/11.  95% of the time in NFL and almost always in college football and all basketball these bets are a bookmakers benefit but there are certain spots where they represent very good value.  Normally this is when you can tease across key pointspreads such as 3 and 7 but also sometimes when the totals are very low and each point becomes worth more.  The more I think about this the more I realise the potential for epic misclickages....and to be honest I am not sure which firms offer them in the UK but they do offer some value in certain spots and I think the Ravens and potentially Tampa Bay and Philadelphia are good "teaser" teams this week.  

Go on, put up a bet for us please !

Caveat emptor

The only UK book that I can see that offers them is 365.  It is on their site under "teaser card".  The best bet would be a 4 team 6 point teaser which pays 3-1.  Eagles +7, Baltimore +8, Tampa Bay +8.5 and NY Giants -1.

Can anyone help me find this "Teaser Card" on Bet365 please?

I bet on this yesterday but the 'Teaser Card' appears to have disappeared now maybe because some of the games have started. It was at the bottom of the menu that runs down the left hand side.
When it reappears next week I'll tell you exactly where it is.

Bush goes over 100 rushing yards.

Theoretically possible this doesn't win (if he gets further carries and goes backwards), but this should be a nice result

That'd be backwards run-bad.

Well done lads, that is handier than you can imagine.

Don't expect he will be back on the field much, anyway, as Chicago are trying to score with 47 seconds on the clock.

...which they have.

Detroit now number one seeds but 25/1 for the superbowl. Is this worth investment?
