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.

I heard the game was moved to Detroit.
$20? Back in the 1990s I think they got $5 and a free ticket.
. Caesars has refunded my under bet. I’m very disappointed that the game was moved. The weather is supposed to be fine day of game. Just the area will still be plowing out. Oh well. I’ll be switching to betting the overs….Quote: AZDuffmanQuote: SOOPOOQuote: DRichDid you guys see that Bronco's game last night? That was the most snow I remember seeing at a football game in years.

TCU was a 67% underdog vs Oklahoma,
had a 68% chance of losing to Kansas midway into the game,
had a 96% chance in the 4th quarter of losing to Oklahoma State,
had a 91% chance mid game of losing to Kansas State,
had a 61% chance in the 2nd quarter of losing to West Virginia,
had a 64% chance in the 3rd of losing to Texas Tech,
and had a 75% chance early on of losing to Texas.
What are the odds that TCU would win 8 out of these 8 games?

But seriously, I don’t want to do the math, but 10,000-1 against from the low point of each game?
I was watching. When Baylor had the ball their coach went into usual college football Cro Magnon mode. Running the ball into the defenders forcing TCU to use their timeouts but getting the ball back only needing a field goal, with a full minute and a half remaining. At least one of the announcers called out the Baylor head coach.

Imagine what would happen if TCU played a good team.
Penn Entertainment CEO Jay Snowden on the company's Nov. 3 earnings call similarly warned about the company's profitability in light of McIngvale's bet via Penn's sportsbook Barstool — and urged listeners to root for the Philadelphia Phillies instead. "I think if Mattress Mack doesn't hit, we'll be profitable in Q4," Snowden said then. "If he does, then it'll probably be closer to break-evenish."Quote: billryanQuote: DRichQuote: billryan"Mattress Mack" cashed in 75 million on the World Series, including $30 million from Ceasars.

Looking at snow depth maps while computers down at work. Did they like just decide to build the stadium at the biggest snowfall point?
Quote: billryanI'd imagine there was a reason why the land was vacant and cheap. Just like when Wynn was able to scoop up the land for the Mirage dirt cheap since no one else wanted to build next to a volcano.

Today Orchard Park is an upscale suburb with many neighborhoods with houses approaching $1million. By Buffalo standards, that’s expensive. No idea how much land cost 50+ years ago when it was procured for the stadium.
The way the weather is here…. Where I live, slightly north of Buffalo, the way the winds blow off the lake I get, these are the rounded numbers we use…. 50 inches of snow a year, Orchard Park south of me gets 100, and just go a little south of OP and you get 150 inches. That area is known as ‘Ski Country’’.
I’m looking out my window. Maybe got a total of two feet but spread over three days. Road on my cul de sac is totally plowed. If stadium was up here there would be no issue.

If you think of Wynn or Sands as kind of like Neiman-Marcus (i.e., upscale with only a few locations) and Caesars or MGM as Macy's, then Penn is more like K-Mart. Lot's of regional casinos with a focus on slots and a mainly older female demographic. Their deal with Barstool is an attempt to expand the market. As a matter of fact, today's NY Times has an article specifically about Penn and Barstool (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/20/business/barstool-sports-betting-david-portnoy.html). The Penn-Barstool story is part of a set covering NYT's investigation of on-line sports betting. The other stories are:
- Cigars, Booze, Money: How a Lobbying Blitz Made Sports Betting Ubiquitous
- Why States Were Unprepared for the Sports-Betting Onslaught
- How Colleges and Sports-Betting Companies ‘Caesarized’ Campus Life
Anyone living in the vicinity of Kansas City should check out the one about the lobbying. There's a section about some shady real estate dealings tied to the legalization of sports betting in Kansas:
Quote: NYT
The most likely site for the new stadium — envisioned as a possible future home for the Kansas City Chiefs football team, currently located across the Missouri border — was an area west of Kansas City.
The location was already a sports and entertainment hub. Sporting Kansas City’s stadium was there. So were the NASCAR racetrack and the Hollywood Casino.
Another 400 acres of land there were controlled by a company called Homefield LLC, whose owners included executives with Sporting Kansas City, according to property and corporate records. Those executives were drawing up plans to use the 400 acres for a sports and hotel complex.
Just before the 2020 election, Homefield and a network of related companies routed tens of thousands of dollars in contributions to Mr. Ryckman and other legislative leaders, according to campaign disclosures and corporate records. The sums were especially impressive in a state where House lawmakers can take no more than $500 in the general election from any one donor.

Probably dirt cheap. Back then the idea was put the stadium way out where you can charge for parking. Nobody wanted to live that far out back then, not that it is far out by standards of most cities. The McMansion would not be a thing for 25 years.
I have to think back to the Indians the place had a reputation for snow that kept people from settling.

Quote: DRichI am not much of a soccer fan but I did record and watch that Argentina game. Wow, they had three goals overturned for offsides and lost 2-1. I don't think I have ever seen three goals reversed before.
link to original post
It is the overriding weakness of soccer (to me!). Defenders intentionally run away from the person they are supposed to be defending so that that player has no one between him and the goalie. The stupidest rule in practice of any sport.
I understand that at some point a century ago they didn’t want players ‘goal hanging’, and that’s what offsides was designed to stop. But it is now an overriding strategy to ‘put’ the offensive player offsides.
That being said, I had Saudi Arabia to outscore Argentina, Denmark, Tunisia, Mexico and Poland combined at 1,000,000 - 1. I just forgot to push the button to finish the bet…

I must be a guppy. I’m getting around $5 a day from MGM by having my stick figure shoot past goalie Tim Howard. I’ve hit my last TWELVE college bball picks. They can’t be shorter than -300, so probably average -220 or so. They work great in parlays when you get a bonus for each leg added. One was a 7 legger, the other 5.
DK and MGM giving plus odds on US to not get shutout tomorrow. The other 3 giving plus odds on the US to get shutout tomorrow. It puts food on the table.
I could see (with 5 mins to kick off via oddschecker) the best UK odds were
Eng 1/2
US 15/2
Draw 7/2
Whereas US (I can't find the best odds but found this)
Eng 8/15 (-188)
US 11/2 (+550)
Draw 10/3 (+333)
So it does look as if they're cutting the odds for the country you're in!!

Not sure where you were looking. I had +675 on US right before kickoff. I had so many +EV offers the only way I could not make money was a nil nil draw…….
Oregon had only two healthy guards, and their 3-point shooting has been atrocious. UConn was undefeated and looking good in the paint. The game was in Portland, so though the Ducks had the fans on their side, they didn't have true home court advantage. I kept thinking "is there something I'm missing about this matchup?!" I could see Oregon losing by 10.
So I put down $105 (-105) on UConn and easily won 100 bucks when the Ducks lost by 24!

Thanks for posting this, I had "forgotten about the value of betting on the draw" (I used to bet a lot on Soccer for the Draw###, and NHL going to OT).
###: Edit about 1630, Pac Time.
Anyway, I had the following bonus bets on the World Cup (all for the Draw):
Wales v England $500 @ $4.6
Brazil v Switzerland $700 @ $4.4
Japan v Costa Rica $400 @ $4.4
Netherlands v Qatar $500 @ $8***
***: If I could have all the above bonuses on one, it would be this one (not just because it was the biggest odds, but also because Pinnacle had the Draw @ ~$7.18^^^, at the time I had the bet).
^^^: I think the market was about 103%, so if I was just going by "Pinnacles' prices", then the fair odds for the draw should have been about $7.40.

You must have either a lot of faith in what you are doing or a LOT of money to risk if you are betting $21k to ‘test my theory out’!’
Whenever I worry if the books will somehow care about my $50 bet with a slight advantage I’ll remember your bets! I had ‘alternative line’ boost available for an NBA game. Betting on the other side on a different book gave me either $6 or $2 win. Total bet was over $200. I’m guessing they aren’t worrying….
(I won $6).
Kansas City Chiefs @ Cincinnati Bengals: $500 on the Bengals +3.0 @ $1.85
Washington Commanders @ New York Giants: $500 on the Commanders -1.5 @ $1.90
Note: I haven't done any work on these games, and the bets are just based on the public lines available with other 'books that I "trust to have it correct (more often than not) ".

The five (FanDuel, Caesars, BetMGM, BetRivers, DraftKings) that I use all treat a ‘free bet’ that way. That is why, if you are interested in maximizing your EV, betting long shots is better than betting favorites, with these free bets.
Sneakiness? Maybe a little. They DO make it clear that you don’t get the ‘stake’ back.
I think a different promo is more ‘sneaky’. They call it a ‘risk free’ bet. You bet your own real money and if you win it was like there was no offer. You keep your ‘stake’ and your winnings. But if you lose you get back the equivalent dollar figure in a ‘free bet’. Which is NOT worth as much as your initial stake. Hence to me, the term ‘risk free’ is a LIE.
That being said, the ‘risk free’ first bet can be quite valuable.
Quote: SOOPOOMy ‘free bet’ today is a 3 leg parlay. Brazil, Portugal, and the Vegas Golden Knights. It is always a big risk betting on a soccer team to win. They actually have to score! First few minutes of Brazil game. Looks like Switzerland is not afraid of big bad Brazil.

All 3 won. Hooray.
I have a bunch of bets hinging on France winning against Tunisia today. Tunisia has scored zero goals so far in its first two games. Buttttttt….. France has already clinched advancement to next round….. They are not playing any of their top players. Tunisia still hasn’t scored late into first half but their ‘A’ team looks way better than the France ‘B’ team.
I may make a bet on Tunisia at halftime. (That would guarantee a draw…)
Edit. Just got 21-1 on both games ending scoreless.

The fair money line for this game was 9.5. I laid 3-2 on that easily won bet. I feel like the fool again. Brazil played their B team. They were still better than Cameroon despite losing. But not as better had they been if anyone of their regular starters played.
As the game was winding down it was clear Cameroon needed to win by 2 to have a chance to advance. The rocket scientist that scored the goal for Cameroon with around 7 minutes to go took his Jersey off, you know, to show how smart and manly he is. But doing that gets you a yellow card. Combined with his earlier yellow card that makes a red card and an ejection. His team had to play short handed the final 7 minutes and didn’t get a sniff of that second goal. The selfishness of some athletes knows no bounds.
I have even stakes on Green Bay @ -12.5, -13.5, -15.5, -16.5 and -18.5 (if they win by 19+, I collect $8,200+)
I have most of my money on Chicago @ -5.5 and smaller bets (same stake) @ -3.5, -4.5, -6.5, 7.5, and -8.5 (if they win by 9+, I collect $7,600+)
If the result is either G B win by 12 (or less), or Chicago win by 3*** or less (***realistically 5 or less ) I will have a bad game, as I bet $3,000 in total.

Georgia with a win is number one. With a loss they would be behind Michigan if Michigan stays undefeated. This was written after TCU lost, so they are out of the picture for the number one spot.
This year, the difference between the number one and number two seed is not very significant. Unfortunately it’s looking like Michigan will be 2 and Ohio State will be 3, so they will be playing each other Georgia will play number 4 (Alabama or TCU….?)

***: I still think this, even if the Vikings' have played and/or beaten any of these teams, earlier this season.
Note: They are not listed in any special order
Cowboys' , Bengals', Chiefs', Bills', 49ers', Dolphins' (maybe even the Titans', Ravens', and Seahawks' ? ).

If you need more proof, I have the Vikings in a bunch of my bets today. That generally means a Jets win. The Vikings looked even with the Bills. The Bills will be 7+ faves over the Jets next week. (I think?).
With those numbers I like Georgia and TCU

Comments:
The "50/50" line of +2.5 to +3.0 in this game for the Jets, is probably about right for this match up.
