- Friday, 28 Oct 2005
PicksPal posted odds on whether or not Vinny Testaverde would fumble the ball in last Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons. Testaverde fumbled the football 3 times dutrig the first half of play. Seven gamers participating in the sports gambling picks game PicksPal were more than willing to risk all of their points on the 7.5:1 gambling odds that he would lose a fumble to the defense. Boasting 1000 points on the line, this prop paid off at 7500 points for these lucky seven winners.
What made these bettors so sure that Testaverde will turn the ball over during the game? Testaverde has just got back of retirement a few weeks ago, which means that he is still rusty. Couple that with the fact that the Jets offensive line has been plagued by injuries all season – you can reach to the conclusion yourself. If that is not enough consider the fact that the Falcon's defensive line consists of Rod Coleman and Patrick Kerney, two of the best linemen in the game today. Thanks to their successful gambling picks, these seven punters are on top of the PicksPal rankings boasting 8500 points.
One of the winners was quoted saying, “I put the farm on the pick that Vinny would fumble, just figured he is definitely in the sunset of his career”. The gambling fan added saying, “The Jets are a brutal team and I knew they wouldn't protect him. I won on pretty much the first snap of the game. It feels pretty cool to be at the head of the pack”.
