You guys can keep him Muddy. Consider it a gift.

Lots of successful black QB's in this thread and they all have two things in common.

1) They are not white
2) Plommer never bet on any of them


As a lifetime Torontonian I would love to see Toronto win the Grey Cup but I make wagers that I beelieve in.
Some of my biggest wagers in the CFL were against the Argos this year.

Also bet against Canada in hockey (and won). In 1998 me and my buddy were the only two guys in the Las Vegas Caesars sportsbook cheering for the Czechs +345 vs Canada - when Canada lost in a shootout.

Thank Marc Crawford for that

Virty that was one of my best gambling days EVER!

Had Czech +1.5 +145 (fukkin rediculous line) AND Czech moneyline +345.

Czechs leading 1-0 until Canada pulled the goalie late 3rd period to tie the game and send it to overtime.
The sportsbook at Caesars erupted when Canada tied it up and I felt a little sick.

My +1.5 puckline was already a winner, the shootout win was gravy.

Gretzky never even had a chance to shoot

I think they used a defenceman.

Plommer, don't take this as being judgmental or worse yet classless but I for one would much rather see you post a winner than reflect on unposted winners.

Wakky, you're one of the classiest guys here pal, I would never consider you judgmental, only mental.

As for posting winners I believe I posted that I will be betting a dime on the Toronto Argonauts to win the Grey Cup on the moneyline.

As of today I consider it a winner.

Line has actually backed up a bit. Calgary -1.5.

Argo moneyline: +105



I'll be jiggered.

The line could bounce around every day until kickoff. Toronto could end up as favourite, ya never know with CFL.

Rob Ford is a fat stupid FOK. Better?, @ Matty

 

[betplom]

I'll make a bold prediction and say the line closes with Calgary at least -3.

 

[Matty]

This just in; Rob Ford is gonna play QB for the Argos!!!

Edited because people may not know this is Toronto's fat, stupid FOK of a mayor...

I started a thread about this this morning: http://gamelive.com/forum/showthread.php/17353-Toronto-mayor-shows-off-his-football-skills.

I was working downtown today and saw bunches of Calgary fans walking around with their cowboy hats and leather boots on..They look very out of place at Yonge/Dundas around lunchtime.... YEEEHAW.

 

[mrquincy]

Whoops. Checked in earlier on my phone and I guess I missed it...

 

[Mudcat]

I have a vague recollection of a Grey Cup tradition involving someone from the west riding a horse into the lobby of the Royal York Hotel (I guess only when Toronto is hosting the game??)

Am I imagining that?

 

[Mudcat]

They are obviously using very different thinking towards the halftime show than the Super Bowl.


Super Bowl = McCartney, Springsteen, The Who

Grey Cup = Bieber and Carly Rae Jepson

Anyhoo the line hasn't bounced much so far. Still looking at Calgary -1.5, -120ish on the moneyline. Total around 55.5, up from openers but only a hair.
