Betting against my alma mater, final roundup!
Purdue once again after covering got a reasonable line this week. Indiana was 10 point favorites in West Lafayette. I was out of town for the weekend, which was fortunate since my home internet went out for 3 days and my phone data was throttled because of German bureaucracy. Lucky for me, from the…
Betting against my alma mater, week 12: confirmed for losing
Purdue traveled to snowy Iowa City this weekend, and got a huge gift from Vegas. 23.5 points! In what was forecast to be inclement weather! With low temps! I knew from the start this bet was lost before it was even placed. That’s probably why, for some reason, I forgot to screenshot the actual…
Betting against my alma mater, Week 11: Back to break even
Purdue took on Northwestern this weekend, and the oddsmakes loved the Wildcats’ chances. Of course, after covering in two of the last three weeks I was surprised the line was as high as it was. It seems nobody knows which Purdue team is going to show up. And apparently it was the “not…

So I was out of town last week as the Boilermakers took down the Cornhuskers, not only covering, but WINNING THE GAME. It was impressive. Sure, the Huskers were hurt, but Purdue SCORED FIFTY FIVE POINTS! Nebraska was favored by 7.5, and it was never in doubt that Purdue would cover. Well worth losing…

To be honest, I thought this line was a little high, but I said I was going to bet against Purdue every game this season and I am holding myself to it. The Badgers were favored by 23.5. On the surface, looking at Purdue’s past performances against the Badgers it was attainable, but I just…
Betting against my alma mater: Week 6 (I should sell this system)

After me questioning my experiment last week, Minnesota came in to Ross Ade as 3.5 point favorites (the line was actually somewhere in the 3.25 point range, since it paid back at -105 instead of the normal -110). I thought perhaps the tides had turned when Purdue took the first drive to the house (and…
Betting against my alma mater: Week 5 (Regression to the mean?)

It finally happened, after going 0-3 ATS, Purdue finally covered. I do have to say I didn’t see it coming, as the Spartans took a 21-0 lead into the locker room at half time, but in the most uncharacteristic of Purdue moves, Purdue fought back (though perhaps the driving rain bogged down Michigan…
Betting against my alma mater: Week 4 (oh my God, it keeps happening)

So we’re now in week 4 of me betting against Purdue and I’m alarmed I’m doing this well, but at least today I got to see the beginning of the end. Purdue once again snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, losing by 7 to the Bowling Green Falcons. This was Purdue’s 2nd MAC loss…

As I mentioned in an earlier post, this year I will be (ok, I will probably forget at some point) betting against Purdue every week of the season. For now I’m giving them the line, but I reserve the right to change that once I…

The NCAA doesn’t read this site, I’m sure. And they wouldn’t want to, because this year I’m going to focus even more heavily on gambling on NCAA Sports. The reason? It’s legal here in Germany, and I find it really ironic that the NCAA is taking a stance against making money on college players. So…
