Sports betting chatter
Anyone stacking Thursday with the Sunday slate or keeping TNF bets small and separate? I've found correlation is fake there but the lines are soft.
Quote: SOOPOOAre you talking about the Feltner who has at least 5 strikeouts in each of his last 3 games?
yes, I saw that too
I made the pick feeling that his record over the past 21 games was much more important (over only 6 times)
the pick won
he had only 2 Ks
my feeling - when you make a pick you usually can't have everything going your way and looking good -
the pick was priced at -123 and greater at other books implying that the under was significantly more likely
.
I don't get it, how did the 113 in free bets show up?Quote: SOOPOOWow!! Bet $5 on DK for JSN to score a TD. Won $6.50. But also split free bets that any winning TD bet would share. The only other TD was obscure TE. So for my $5 bet I won the $6.50….. and $113 in free bets!
Also, DK having a boatload of free games. Won $2, then $4. Just for pushing a few buttons.

I can't quite buy that there was a $5 bet that resulted in $113 in bonus bets even though there was that HR similar thingQuote: Izzybets[snip] Your free-bet stacking on DK is the real lesson though SOOPOO, $113 back on a $5 ticket is the kind of math that actually beats vig even if the picks are coin flips...

Izzy, sorry to be picking on you, but if you will use the 'quote' feature it includes a link to the post you were citing, thanks... I had to go look for it.
Miguel Ullola - over 1.5 strikeouts - +125 - (showing available currently at 2 different sportsbooks)
he's a rookie, this is his first start
so far, in limited action he's had 10 strikeouts in 7 innings for the Astros
thru his minor league career he's always averaged well more than 1 strikeout per inning

I get all sorts of unsolicited offers, and I saw one that was giving everyone $100 in free bets if a point was scored in the game. Its obviously a loss leader but if you give out 20 free $5 bets, chances are half will lose so its like giving away $50 but how much of the $50 gets cashed out?
It's just a way to comp for a huge chunk of the players who then go on to blow it? Maybe so but don't forget how much they hate the APs who wind up with itQuote: billryan
