Gambling Thread

The soccer O/Us are for regulation time only. You're betting on the result of the 90-minute (plus ST) game. That's why there are separate bets for XX team to advance. If you're betting the ML, you're betting on it to end before extra time.

Ended up having a nice little day with my modest betting yesterday. Started with $43 in my account, ended with $77. The Bahamas under hit straight up, and I took Xavier -10.5/O154.5 at Georgetown as a +259 parlay for a happy hour bet. The over hit by the 8-minute media in the second half. Had to survive the final minute to avoid the backdoor cover though. It was fun trying to explain to people at the bar why I wouldn't change the channel even though Xavier was leading comfortably at the end.

 

Besides the perils of gambling on a budget, Croatia-Morocco is also an example of why I hate betting time-shifted parlays. That was the first of a four-game parlay that also included three college football games spread throughout the day and evening. And it was dead before 10 a.m. Kinda sucks a lot out of the fun of this hobby of ours.

 

New jersey regulators halted betting on the Citrus Bowl (Purdue vs. LSU) because of Drew Brees' business association with PointsBet.

Drew Brees joining Purdue staff caused New Jersey to halt bets on Citrus Bowl, report says

 

Brees is the new Tessitore. He F’s up everything he touches now.

 

Sports betting now legal in Ohio.

 

NFL season long props graded as of last night.

Over the summer, sitting in an airport in a legalized state waiting to fly home, I took EVERY wide receiver under on yards. Found the best price at numerous shops. Rationale: public bets overs and WR injuries and QB injuries will keep the yards down. Did they ever.

Put $22/$23 to win $20. Didn’t matter. Took everyone. Bet em blindly.

39-22. Boom. $295 for an hour’s work. Yes, I had about $1,200 tied up for 5 months. But… better than the Nasdaq.

Do it next year.

 

So far Caesars is not paying my Bills YES playoffs (final leg of some parlays) because they didn’t play 17 games. House rules.

 

DK was doing a risk free SGP for NHL bets with a max bet of $10. Just picked one of their random SGPs on the Saturday Devils-Rangers game and added one more leg and it hit for +895. I will now retire undefeated for hockey bets.

 

So do they at least refund the bets?

 

It is still "not settled", as the only of my 60 or so NFL regular season futures not settled. Puzzled by this.

 

Ohio immediately takes the lead:

It seemed like an easy $11,000 ...
