Gambling Thread

As a Chiefs fan, I’m trying to find a way to “buy a win” here.

I’ll do 49ers ML -122 is the best I see.

I’m willing to pay up to $400 for a Chiefs Super Bowl win.
I’ll bet $122 to open to win $100.
Then I’ll live bet it from there. Every 49ers drive, I’ll probably do a “TD on this drive” for pizza money.
If the Chiefs gets up 10-0, the 49ers will probably jump to +300. I’ll drop the rest there.

And a sprinkle SGP.
49ers win half / game
1Q U9.5 points
Purdy no interception
Kelce 2 TDs
+5800

 

Meanwhile I'm here betting the Marist-Fairfield in-game over from the comfort of my barstool.

 

Saturdays at the casino are the absolute worst. I've gone down there a few times during college football or basketball season and will never do it again.
There are people who get on the automated kiosks and just camp there with their phones, taking bets and either running their own bookie operation or placing bets for one. On Saturday morning they get there early and don't leave. The casino I go to has a floor full of kiosks, at least 30 or 40 of them. Twice I went on Saturday morning and stood in line for an hour without a single kiosk opening up. It was ridiculous.
The line for the window wasn't any better. Getting in that line was like being behind the guy at Subway who is ordering 10 different sandwiches for the office, each with some weird combination — except there are 50 of those guys.
I put my football bets in during the week, usually Friday at lunch when there's no crowd. This week I'm planning to go on Tuesday or Wednesday. I can't imagine what Super Bowl Sunday will be like there.

 

I always look at the bovada boosted parlays.

Yesterday I took Clippers, Timberwolves, Thunder & Jazz all to win. Was +350 and boosted to +470

Clips, T wolves & Thunder won. Jazz were down by 16 to Bucks in the 3rd and down 14 early in 4th. At that point, stat cast had Milwaukee with 94.6% chance to win.

Jazz outscored bucks 40-13 in 4th q, and won by 15 , and parlay won

 

Not trying to be snarky, but I never understood why posters are so unclear about their whereabouts.

What casino are you talking about?

Why was it a hassle to place a SB bet?

 

No snark detected; you're right.

Parx Casino in Shippensburg, Pa. Not enough kiosks, and a confusing floor layout.

 

When I was in high school in Hagerstown Maryland 40+ years ago, and you would have told me there would be a casino in Shippensburg Flipping Pennsylvania in my lifetime, I would have keeled over.

 

Love the town, but ain't it the truth. LOL.

 

Put in a college basketball three-teamer for tonight but didn't get to watch any of the games because I was working. Checking them now and that's probably a good thing, because my TV might have a brick in the screen if I had been.
• Iowa State ML Texas √
• Kentucky O151.5 at Vanderbilt √√
• South Carolina -3.5 vs. Ole Miss ... you gotta be fucking kidding me. First, South Carolina blew almost all of a 16-point lead in the second half. Then, they made ONE fucking shot and a free throw in the last 5:40. During that same span, Ole Miss also made one basket — a jumper with 38 seconds left that pulled them to within 68-65, which is where it ended up.
God, I hate betting on basketball.

 

I had Cocky in a parlay as well (wouldn't have mattered since Miami Ohio lost to a shitty NIU team at home). Watched the end of it and it was maddening. There should have been a foul in the last two seconds and at least a free throw attempt but the refs just said fuck it and swallowed the whistles.

But I ended up a touch ahead for the night with in-game bets on Rockets-Pacers under and Charlotte-USF under. Just call me Even Steven these days, because this has been happening a lot. Better than the alternative of being down, I guess.

EDIT: To add, just made a quick perusal of today's schedule, and Wisconsin -5.5 at Michigan looks really tasty. Wolverines have been consistently getting blown out at home and just straight up stink. Bucky coming off a couple of tough losses and this is a huge get-right spot.

 

Very simple. There has been a history of stalking on this forum.
