SEC speed by paperwaspin CFB

[–]paperwasp[S] 2 points3 points ago

It would have been a first down had Thomas been tackled; Miami would have simply declined the offsides penalty.

As it were, there was also a turnover, so they had to then take the penalty instead, negating the play entirely, so as to retain possession.

Since these are more of what's called a "futures" bet, where the scenarios look at a particular event rather than a point spread, betting magnitudes on each side can take a long time to settle out. The bookmakers try to avoid a huge number of high-reward bets early by making the money lines both negative, meaning that payouts are small until more money is placed on either scenario, when they can adjust the money line accordingly.

Uh... yeah, I don't think accidentally lining up in the neutral zone is cheating, bro. The player who was flagged had nothing to do with the outcome of the actual play.

Right, the negative sign is also the "favorite" outcome, whereas the positive sign is the "underdog" outcome.

Thus, in the above they are suggesting that the Niners will win less than 10 games, so you have to wager $135 just to profit $100. If you go against their odds, you can wager the opposite (that they will win more than 10 games) by only putting up $100 to profit $105.

There is a bigger profit on betting on the underdog, but it also theoretically comes with a smaller chance of winning.

Vegas strives to have roughly an even amount of bettors on each side of the odds, and by using the payouts this way it ensures that they "win" no matter who "wins."

Yes, an Alabama DT was lined up in the neutral zone, so the strip came back, but had Miami scored (or even made a huge gain) it would have counted, as they would have declined the penalty. In this case they had to take the offsides so as not to lose possession.

Yes, yes you did.

Here's a different angle.

Ironically, in the weeks leading up to the game, Lamar Thomas, also a track star at Miami, had bragged to the media that he was "the fastest man in football."

Both of these men, George Teague and Lamar Thomas, played for eight seasons in the NFL.

Chris Brown from the Smart Football website has written a book on football strategies, schemes, and ideas by paperwaspin CFB

[–]paperwasp[S] 1 point2 points ago

I haven't read it yet, but I did order it.

If it's like his website material, it is very strategy and formation oriented and has little if any motivational-style content.

Check out these examples:

As I understand it, the fifth (and final) season of Breaking Bad will premiere on July 15, 2012.

Got a 93 Honda Civic project car. Looking for Honda/Acura tuner shops in Birmingham! by Ridn2Loin Birmingham

Call Rob’e Mans and see if they can help, or know of anyone local. They've been specializing in Honda-only service for almost 30 years (I think they also recently added Toyota).

What old-timey words do you wish would make a comeback? by BadWolf359in AskReddit

[–]paperwasp 2 points3 points ago

I think the "ə" on the end is actually a schwa, which would not rhyme with "bay."

As much as that would pain me, it would be absolutely hilarious.

It is Roger Goodell and Chiefs pick Dontari Poe (11th overall), out of Memphis.

1990 is closer to the moon landing than it is to present day. What other seemingly obvious facts blew your mind? by grachasaurusin AskReddit

[–]paperwasp 9 points10 points ago

I don't think it goes anywhere. You can conserve for cost reasons, but it shouldn't significantly affect the supply.

Mine too. I've never seen one that has a flush power button.

You're saying it weird. Why are you putting so much emphasis on the H?

As long as you know it will eventually come to an end, and yet still enjoy it while you can, it will be special for a long time.

Sports are fickle, and we are surely fortunate to be living in a golden age of Crimson Tide athletics.

Is the Galaxy Nexus still worth getting as a new phone? by clonecielin GalaxyNexus

[–]paperwasp 3 points4 points ago

Yes. In my opinion, any complaints that you have seen are probably vastly overblown.

In my experience, I've yet to have an issue that I haven't had on other Android phones, or one that hasn't already been mitigated in some minor way.

I don't think you will regret it at all.

And if you do unlock, try the AOKP ROM.
