Gambling Thread

A fun little lottery ticket that (at least lately) has been making me back my initial stake & kept me playing is legging some defensive TDs in a three- or four-way TD parlay. I nearly hit my all-time jackpot two weeks ago, when I legged Jared Goff, Sam LaPorta & Jonathan Taylor TDs w/Saints D (against the Patriots). Only Taylor didn't score. Rest assured I was on Twitter within minutes registering my disgust throughout the world!

With the dog-ass Bears & Raiders playing 11th-string QBs today, I legged D TDs there along w/a Taylor TD and a Bills D TD. The Bears came thru at +500 and Taylor scored, so I stayed a little ahead. Alas, figuring Russ wouldn't cook and that the Chargers would Charger, I paired Packers D TD & Chiefs D TD w/Najee Harris in the 4 PM games and only hit Harris. Still fun.

 

It's all fun and games until all of you come face-to-face with Gamblor.

 

We're ensnared in his neon claws.

 

Wisconsin under 14.5 team total.
Utah +7.5
Baylor +2.5
Colorado +17.5

Packers +1.5. Hold your nose and do it.
Jets -2.5
Falcons -2.5
Bears +8.5
Panthers +3

Lots of 6-point teasers to take as well. Ravens/Chiefs the top one.

 

Finally won a college bet: Indiana-Penn State O45.5, WVU-UCF O57.5, Kansas +9.5. Almost makes up for losing a TNF bet by one Mike Evans yard.

 

Dear God, what a disaster this day has been.
Had a five-leg shits and giggles parlay ticket that went 1-4.
Had Tulane -10.5 at Rice. They were leading 27-7 at the half and then melted down in the second before hanging on to win 30-28.
And then I took Wyoming +5 and money line at Boise State, in a game I felt great about. Boise State beat the ever-living shit out of them, 32-7.

Still got UNLV +8 at Fresno State and an NFL three-teamer tomorrow to hopefully salvage this mess, but ye gods. I went 5-1-1 last week and was feeling pretty good. So far, 1-6 on college picks this week. Even a couple of the games I stayed away from would've been misses if I'd bet the way I was leaning.

 

Yeah, weird Saturday against the number.

 

Went to a hardcore show last night, might have gotten concussed in the mosh pit.

somehow made it to play golf with my dudes this morning.

put a wtf 4 pm bet on: CIN +4.5, SEA ~2.5, BAL -6.5:.

happy Sunday friends!

 

Spend so much time sweating out bets that it's pretty fun when one hits with ridiculous ease. Put a free bet on a small NBA parlay -- Giannis O29.5 points and Trae over 33.5 P+A. Giannis went over by the end of the third quarter and Trae was over by halftime. Easy peasy.
