Gambling Thread

On a little hockey run lately. I paired Bo Horvat & Anthony Beauvillier in the reunion game last week and hit that when Beauvillier scored a redirect in the final couple minutes with the Canucks already up one. Tonight, I decided to use one of my Super Bowl free bets on a Devils-Blue Jackets goal parlay. After about 15 seconds of rigorous research, I decided to pair Yegor Sharangovich and Johnny Gaudreau.

It's 1-1 after one thanks to goals by Yegor Sharangovich and Johnny Gaudreau, who scored his goal with 1.3 seconds left in the period. That's a nice payout of $69,75 on a free $5 bet. Is this what it's like to be you, @exmediahack?

 

Haha. Back in 2021/22… pretty much.

Biggesr free bet I ever hit. A $100 free bet I put on Mexican league soccer for a 2-1 final score. It hit +950.

I hit an NHL correct score for a 4-3 final score a couple years ago. $2.50 paid out $57. Bravo!

 

Thought I'd kept my hockey streak going with a three-leg parlay betting the overs on Oilers-Red Wings, Rangers-Canucks and Ducks-Sabres. But I just checked and I bet the under on Ducks-Sabres...but also accidentally legged Oilers-Red Wings, so I'm going to come out ahead tonight. Here's to short attention span betting!

 

Goal first ten minutes of NHL.
Run first inning
Score on opening drive.
Par/birdie/eagle first hole.

Action junkies unite.

 

Brad Keselowski +2200 today… for old time’s pandemic sake.

 

Looked good for a little while.

 

Gambling TikTok has led me to dome good handicappers. Or maybe they're just hot. Today they gave me a 4-0 day:

Cincy/UCF over 139½
Oilers/Avalanche over 6½
Washington State -1½ over Oregon
UNLV +7½ over Boise St.

On the heels of yesterday's 4-2. And Friday's 1-0. And Thursday's 2-1.

Now if I can just lay off those parlays ...

 

My hockey heater continues. I'm 3-for-3 with over/under two-way parlays the last two days...nothing that's going to make me rich, but it's getting me closer to breaking even after a long drought. Also legged Miles Wood +540 scoring on a three-way parlay...the two good players didn't score but he did, one night after his line didn't play at all in the third period. Figured he was a good candidate to randomly bounce back.

 

Michigan State-Iowa BAD beat on Saturday.

Sparty up 13 with 1:45 left. Iowa rallies to force OT and wins by six. 112-106.

Iowa was -5.5.

So she blew $10M over half a year, camped out at the Wynn.

I could have helped her. Really helped her.

 

I still get pissed off about a San Francisco-Gonzaga game from a couple of years ago. IIRC, it was the final leg of a three-teamer. Had San Francisco +9.5 at home, and they were keeping it close the whole way. About 1:45 left and the game is tied, and it looks like I'm going to cruise home.
Then Gonzaga hits a 3 to take the lead, San Francisco misses a shot, and Gonzaga comes down and hits another quick 3. All of a sudden, there's 1:15 left and I'm starting to sweat. Another San Francisco miss, another Gonzaga basket, and all of a sudden we're in free throw territory.
Gonzaga wound up finishing the game on a 13-0 run, punctuated by a breakaway dunk with a few seconds left, to pull the cover out of its ass in the last 90 seconds.
Like you said, you never forget those kicks in the balls.
