Quote: WizardThe line on KC has shifted to -3 -120/-125.
Looks like most places have moved the over/under to 56.5.
SOOPOO, will you bet the over 56.5 against me at even money? Let's go double or nothing on the Olympics bet?
Sure. But only if you remind me what we bet on the Olympics!
Quote: SOOPOOAt 3.5 I love KC. It just seems like their offense is 'different' than all the other teams in the league. KC 38 TB 27 So KC and over. My bets on things like this tend to be correct 49% of the time or so.
I will say this. I had one 'super best bet' yesterday, and it was on Josh Allen rushing over (LOL... I can't remember the number, but I think it was 42.5?) and he had 80 or so.
I thought about that every time he took off. I'd have guessed he was closer to 100.

You bet the 2020 Olympics would be postponed. I believe I owe you $25.

Great! I do remember now. Over 56.5 you owe me $50. Under 56.5 we are all square. After the Super Bowl KEWLJ will owe me something. And DRich already owes me something! I need the vaccine so I can come out to Vegas to collect my winnings!
For example, let’s say I bet (with my friend) $1,000 on Tampa +3 and they win 28 - 24. That would mean I win $1000 plus $700 since they covered by 7.
Is the bonus fair or am I at a disadvantage since Tampa is predicted to score less points?
Quote: Ace2For games like the SB, I like to add a bonus where the winner gets paid $100 for each point over the spread. This keeps the game interesting until the end even if it’s a blowout

Great question. Hope the Wiz weighs in. I’ve always envisioned the scoring distribution as some bell curve centered on the spread number with a variance that fits somewhere between the pleaser and teaser house edge. But I’ve never looked at the data.

Yeah, it is not looking good for my No superbowl prediction. I am willing to concede. How do I go about paying?

I believe that I owe you $20 but I have no idea what the bet was. Seeing as I am poor and unemployed we may have to work out a payment plan :) 🙂

I hope you can hand me the $$ when I come to Vegas. I kind of like the idea of lunch with you, DRich and the Wiz with all 3 of you paying up simultaneously! If speedycrap is in town that could be 4 collections!
