Gambling Thread

Had Syracuse ML as part of a three-leg ML parlay. Davidson and Colorado State were the others. Syracuse has the ball in a tied game with a 6-second difference in shot and game clock and the Orange ran one of the shittiest possessions I’ve seen in some time. Wake wins on a 3.

Enjoy retirement, dickbag.

 

LSU scored twice in the bottom of the eighth to win 9-2 and bring my college baseball four-teamer home. I don't do four-leg parlays often, but this still might have only been the second or third one that I've hit. Turned a $5, last-minute throwaway bet into $65. I'll take it.

 

Sports gambling now legal in Massachusets.

 

Made two in-game bets today. Michigan State -4.5 and Creighton -3.5. Wins are nice.

 

After glancing at the odds at the start of the tournament and seeing only one of the higher seeds (Houston, who was something like +300) with a terrible number, I fired in a few tiny futures bets.
Unfortunately, I just picked good teams with good odds and didn't have a bracket in front of me. Three of the five I picked (Gonzaga at +1600, UCLA +900 and Kansas +900) are all in the West bracket. D'oh!
On the bright side, there's a strong chance at least one of them will get to the Final Four.
And on another bright side, my other two picks of Alabama +700 and Duke +3000 are looking a hell of a lot better after the first round.
On the not-so-bright side, I'll despise myself for having to root for Duke as this thing plays out.

 

Ouch

 

What vig are you paying in-game?

-115?

 

Usually around -110. I try to avoid the -120s, which crop up from time to time.

 

I placed a couple bucks on FDU to cover, just b/c they're a cool story. At the half, I placed a couple bucks on FDU to win, just b/c they were the better team. Wish I'd done the second thing first. Would have gotten me close to even since I became a degenerate!

 

On behalf of everyone who had Penn State +5.5...thanks, Texas dude who fouled on a 3-pter up seven in the final seconds.
