Sports betting chatter
Quote: SOOPOOI broke another ‘barrier’ in winnings yesterday. Astros overcame my abysmal college picks. Today….. I’m staring at a Panthers +7.5/ Bills ML/ Packers ML parlay…..well at least there was no suspense.
I need Titans + 11 on one and 11.5 on another to crawl back close to even. Henry scoring the first TD would also help.
I’m not confident.
Looks like I’ll make Diamond on Caesar’s by early December.

Should be fading me a lot this week too, lol.
Anyway, I like the Titans ML @ +550 (IMO, the "fair odds" should be either +470 ^^^ or +325 ***)
^^^: With Tannehill out
***: With Tannehill in
---
Update:
I just received a bonus of $800, so I had the Titans @ +550. (Edit: Typo, previously said "+520").
----
Update 2: (~1645, Pac Time):
Just had $250 for "fun" on the "Chiefs -10.5 x Under 46.5" @ +260 ( that looks great### on paper ).
###: I had the bet based on just the public lines, and thought it was "value compared to those" (I still think the Titans are better value, going by my own "grade / system" ).

Maybe the Caesars sportsbook hedged by plowing a bunch of money into redecorating their hotel rooms with Mattress Mack furniture that is now free.

$30 million? Not quite..... I had $250 on the Dodgers with them. So $29,999,750. Mattress Mack makes big bets and allows them to be fully publicized. There are probably a bunch of New Yorkers bemoaning their Yankee World Series futures losses, NY Mets futures losses (that one was only $50 with betRivers). How much do you think Caesars won on the geniuses who had the Bills -10.5 and Chiefs -14? I'm not worried about caesars handling any loss from a fair bet against a fair line.

No. I was looking for a free roll. I hit my big bet last nigh. BetMGM had Ravens ML/ under 45.5 parlay boosted to +320. That’s $160 win in $50. DraftKings had Knicks ML at +120 with auto win if they lead by 10 at any time. They got 10 point lead early. I was O for college basketball which sliced into my winnings.
Not allowed in NYS, but if I could I’d be putting $ down on Doncic for MVP.

Not sure if you want to divulge, but I get $5 and $10 and occasionally $25 free bets. A few times I made it to $100. How do you keep getting those huge bonus bets? Is this still from ‘sign up bonus’?
I’ve been on the wrong side of variance recently. Worst beat was a parlay that everything hit and needed Mahomes to rush for 40 yards. He DID rush for 40…. But ended at 39…. likely a kneel down at end of game….
Also had big one about to hit in Bucs game. Needed Fournette to get a few yards in second half…. But he got injured and didn’t play after the stupid pass to Brady.
Someone should carry those posts over here, which are all made in advance.
I don't know nothin' about sports betting, don't do that.

The only things I can think of is that I am still in the "honeymoon period" with that 'book, and / or "they like my business ATM, and want to keep me" ?
Bad luck, with your recent parlays.

I think he did write the "units won" as "+24.42 units".
So DD must be throwing in some "better than even money " ML bets , not flat-betting and getting lucky (eg not betting 1 unit on each "50/50 line" bet) or something else?
Note: If they were all for the same amount, and if he is flat-betting, then the average odds would be around +104 (with that record).
I agree with you that the "win/loss ‘record’ is irrelevant unless you are only picking ‘even money’ type bets" , though.
Meaning you should bet on the Suns…
FanDuel parlay.
Hurts over 199.5 passing
Brown over 39.5 receiving
Sanders over 39.5 rushing
Pays +130.
Seems +EV to me.
Edit. Hurts 7/8 over 200. 6/8 over 238
Both Sanders and Brown over 58 7/8.
Sanders perfect 8/8 over 39
Note 1: I haven't graded this game (and I probably won't have time) so that is why it is not in my "...Grades ... " thread.
Note 2: I had this bet by "odds shopping", and found a "stale ML " (I may "off-set" with another 'book^^^, closer to the game ).

So I’d have of course bet the max on the 49ers -263. Then bet enough on the Cards +300 so that if Cards win I break even and if Cards lose I make a profit.
I like having the negative EV bet on the Cards on the book. It is good cover plus I get points, free bets, etc….

With the "betting shop", I won't get any offers*** .
***: I didn't try to bet more than 5 units, because that bet was with the 'book that I am currently still getting offers' semi-regularly (don't want to "burn that bridge", if possible).
Also, I may have somewhere between 0.5 and 1 unit on the Cards' as a partial hedge (if I manage to get 1 unit @ +300, then it will be "the equivalent of having 2 units on the 49ers @ $1.45 or about -222).

Weather forecast for Orchard Park shows heavy snow until Saturday. Clear Sunday. Just means that local officials will have to work hard for the fans to be able to get there. The field itself should be easily cleared. Unless forecast changes. Wifey said she saw add for shovelers paying $20 an hour.
