xxx: $2k on the Ravens' ML @ ~$4.51^^^, after the commission*** .

^^^: I think the fair odds should be between $3.80 & $4.00

***: Took $4.70 on betfair, so may hedge it back, if I can get ~$2.10 on the Bengals' (if the Raven's are up ~14, early).

. Had another $500 on the Raven's before the game @ $4.80
. Just before that Ravens' t/o, I had $2,500 on the Bengals' @ ~$2.10, so I can either win $247### (Bengals') or $6,460### (Ravens').

###: After the betfair commission.

Had 250 on the Bucs’ at $9, just after score was18-0

——-
Comment(s)
. One team missing 3 extra points in a row, when did that last happen (if ever)?
. You would think if the Cowboys’ score anymore TDs, then they go for 2 pt conversions (at least on the next one)?
. I was a little bit surprised that they didn’t go for 2 pts on at least one of the last two TDs

——
Update after 4th TD:
. Make that 4 missed extra pts in a row.

Non-Graded bet^^^ (made earlier in the week): $10k Chiefs +1.5 @ $1.25

^^^ (Reasons for bet);
. Thought the line had a good chance to move in my favor.
. Probably would not have had the bet, if I did any work on a "raw figure" first.

xxx bet (made in the last hour): $5k Jags' +10 @ $1.93.


Comment(s):
. My raw "50/50" figure was around Jags' +3.0 to +4.0 (this is the figure I would use if I was going in "blind" / didn't know what the line was in the public market)
. The raw figure also didn't take into account that teams getting a "rest week" are always at an advantage, IMO (so the Chiefs' have that going for them).
. Adjusting for the public market (and attempting to adjust for the "Chiefs rest week") I think the Jags' should be +7.

----
Update, just after Mahomes injury (he is still playing, at the time of this update ):
. If they have to take Mahomes out for 3/4 of the game, then I have the Chiefs' about 35% chance to win against a "fair spread*** "

***: Against whatever you thought the "fair" pre-game spread was (less any current score differential###).

###: Differential was 0 (7-7) at the time of this update.

----
Update 2 (just after Mahomes went to the locker-room to get "checked out" ):
. Have my "live fair spread" for the Chiefs' @ -6.0 (with the score at 10-7 to the Chiefs).
. Probably not going to do anymore of these, whether Mahomes' comes back to play in this game, or not.

Chiefs were lucky Mahomes got injured…. Henne drove them 98 yards for a TD, a feat Mahomes has NEVER been able to accomplish in the post season.

On a serious note, Mahomes on one leg is still a formidable foe. Just seemed like Chiefs OC was one step ahead of Jaguars DC entire game.
And Trevor Lawrence looked like a below average QB. Not abysmal, but not championship material either.

"Betfair Bet" : $15k on the Eagles' to win $4,275 (after the 5% commission).

. Plan to put a total of $1,500 back on the Giants' @ $10+ (one example, if the Giants' are down ~10 pts early, then I think I can get this price? or better?).

xxx bet: $5k Eagles' -7.5 @ $1.94

-----
Comment(s):
. Going by just the for and against, I had the Eagles' -5.5.
. Taking other factors' into consideration, I think they should be closer to -11.5^^^

^^^: Things like "smart money" is on the Eagles, "a persons' opinion that I trust to be better than my own" is on the Eagles, and an "extra week rest" for them, as well .

Price point not looking good (compared to what I thought it should be, at 14-0 early) so won't bother having it.

xxx (bet was made on betfair): $4k on the Bengals to win ~$9.4k***
$6.8k on the Bills' +1.5 @ $1.45 (repeat of an earlier bet, so that I can find the bet easier).
Betfair^^^: $11k to win ~ $25.6k***

***: After the betfair commission
^^^: Wanted to chop this bet out, but I stuffed up my plan to bet the Bills live###, and can't do it now (so just have to hope the Bengals' win).
###: Just after the Bengals' 2nd TD, I would have had between ~7k on the Bills' @ $2.66 to $2.68 (what it was on betffair, at the time of this update).

xxx bet: $4.5k to win $7.6k on the Cowboys' ***

***: The 49ers' are still the best team overall this year, IMO (but I had them about -2.5 for this matchup).

-----
Comment(s):
. Lucky the Bengals' won earlier.
. In this game, I thought that either the Cowboys' had a "good chance" of winning by 11+ or
the 49ers had a "good chance" of winning by 16+, so that is the main reason why I didn't back the Cowboys' @ +3.5.

: ) , sorry, I meant Cowboys' ... by 9+ (I forgot that their kicker*** is "unlucky" at the moment).

***: 5 misses in a row (right?) but at least that one was blocked and not a "clean miss".

Early bets for next week:

Solid xxx: To win $5k on the Bengals +1.5 @ $1.87
up to xxx^^^: $5.5k Eagles -2.5 @ $1.91

^^^: N Bosa questionable, with hamstring injury(?)

-----
Comment(s) / Extra:
. Winning over $90k this period, because not incl in an earlier post was another +$8,390 on bets not mentioned (both on the Eagles: $6k -5.5 and $5k -8).
. Lucky for me, because I thought they were not on, but when I looked at my account they were right there in the result history (?)
. Because my balance is about $180k now, below are the new estimated bet sizes for the grades (based on when the price is ~$1.90):
x: ~$4k, xx: ~$5k, and xxx: ~$6k
. I already started betting those "kinds of amounts" for the earlier Bengals' and Cowboys' games (after converting them to ML prices).
. Probably won't have any more on the Bengals', even though I like them (because I also have an $11.9k bet going that KC will not win the Super Bowl).
. Probably won't have any more on the Eagles', as it looks' like there is a "good chance" the line will change against me, also "to win $5k was the max I could get" with the "early market".

Eagles' Game, live comments:
. Eagles' have an extra TD, because of a "missed incomplete pass" on the first drive.
. IMO when compared to Purdy, Johnson at QB turns whatever you thought was the "50/50" line into a "40/60" one (if he played from the start of the game, to the finish).

Chiefs' Game, live comment(s):
. With the yards lost from sacks, sack differential, and Bengals' turnover (t/o), the Bengals' are lucky to be only down a TD***.
***: Disregarding the t/o , and just going by the Average Yards (YPP) and Total Yards, IMO the score should be about 6-13 (in other words, the current score).

Super Bowl:
xxx: $500*** Eagles ML @ $2

***: I had an earlier bet on the Chiefs' "not winning the S B^^^ ", so that is why I only had $500 on the Eagles' (even though I would normally have ~$6k, when I think a team is "xxx", ATM).

^^^: $11,900 to win $3,325, early in the Playoffs'.

"Spec Bet": "Eagles win every quarter*** " $160 @ 50/1

***: My estimated chance for this is around 2.2%-2.4%
Note: With this kind of bet, I would be happy to "hedge" into the Chiefs' in the unlikely event that the Eagles' win each of the first 3 quarters (in other words I think the hedge would likely be +EV, too)

Late HT comments:
. I thought the Chiefs should have been +7 @ HT
. This figure was based on a 100% healthy Mahomes.
