These NFL double digit favorites for Saturday and Sunday, look to me like locks for a ML parlay.
The only "small chance" ML upset I see is the Bears, but only if the Packers get sloppy.
The ticket won't pay all that much, but as they say it's better than tearing it up.
I only favored Baltimore ML in my plays.
Well good luck, but frankly I just can't see Baltimore, Tampa Bay, or Denver losing those games.
We shall see.
I can see Denver losing. Coach Andy made some comments about there’s only so many players so some starters have to play. Or something like that he wasn’t exactly clear. 😂
I’ll put it this way…. If our offensive line protects Wentz whether it’s starters or subs then we have a chance. I expect him to play well. Defense could be shaky.
I probably won’t try to get to the casino this weekend to make any bets as it’s going to be really cold and highway could be icy.
Good luck to everyone on their bets.

Wentz hasn't played much in the past two seasons. But when he did play, he has played well.
Of course in the first play he's in, he could ever so slightly, stub his pinky toe, be carried off on a stretcher, and miss the rest of the game. 😉
I'd have to think that after sitting in an airport for an extended period, just to fly out to play a meaningless game, can't be a good motivator to play top notch football.
my guy Greyserman shot 10-under in round 3 and was tied for 6th going into the final round today
last night I thought to myself, new year, new results. just a semi-decent final round is all i need and my first golf bet of '25 is a plate of winner, winner, chicken parmesan dinner and the tone is set for the rest of the year.
well, by the time he reached his last hole today he was only 2-under for his round (one of the worst in the field), but a birdie on #18 -- one of the easiest holes on the course -- wins my bet anyway. a par drops me into a dead heat and I lose 34$. a bogey or higher results in a hundy being lit on fire.
right on cue he drove it into the boonies, had to take a drop and made bogey on a hole that was playing more than a half shot under par. of course he did.
at least a handful of times last year i dropped on a guy who wilted at the tail end of a golf tournament and cost me money. my very first bet of '25 and it happened again. i am so effing mad. not at the benjamin i parted ways with, but that this keeps happening.
if that wasn't the gambling gods speaking to me, idk what is. will i listen and stop with these agonizing T20 bets? tell you what, i'll make a deal with you, gambling gods. the moment basebal publicly agrees with something that someone says on here, i'll stop. but until then, i'll continue to bask in the torture.
so in other words, get ready for a titshon of losing golf bets over the next 360 days
I followed you're playing throughout as well as my 2 duds. I was out early. I almost went with Theegala, but changed to Homa and Bhatia. They made Sunday moves, but too little too late.
Back to you're play. After I saw your position after Saturday I thought you would score. As u said 6th into Sunday. Last year I had 2 weeks in a row with the same golfer fail on the last hole to hang on for top 20. Bogeyed the 18th 2 weeks in a row same golfer. So I can sympathize with your mood. It's bad enough to lose but to have you're nose rubbed in it with these types of losses is the killer.
I am only down $15 to start the year, but will probably back off golf until the NFL
is over. And see how the players shake out as they gear up for Magnolia Way,Amen Corner. Plenty of time to make amends. Best of luck going forward on any golf play to you.

You called that one
I did need GB ML to win for my 3 game parlay. Lost 1 other parlay, but scored on other 2 for a small profit. So all is well. Am not a big player so happy to eek out a score here and there.

i appreciate those words brother, truly. it is so completely frustrating when it happens in multitude. sorry you didn't connect either -- your Max came close too. probably a sound idea to focus on the NFL and save ⛳️ for later
I think it's good to come on here and let off some steam. I wish there were forums like this back when I was gambling some serious money on sports betting and other chit.
When I was at Penn State main campus, I was strong as a bull. At that time the football players shared the same weight room with the students, and I could outlift most of them.
Anyway, so one Sunday evening I was in my mid-20's, I decided it was a good idea to take a quick ride down to A/C for some quick action. There was one casino down there which was around five miles or whatever from all the boardwalk casinos, and it was perfect for a quick Sunday evening in and out, not much traffic, etc.
Anyway, so I get slaughtered at the blackjack table, and then even worse at the craps table, and I'm steaming. For those who know that casino, on the way out there's a bathroom right outside the casino floor on the walk to the parking garage. It's not used all that much for whatever reason. So I'm walking out and needed to take a poop. If it wasn't for that I would have just walked to my car and quickly drove away.
So i'm sitting there doing my business and all that time I'm steaming even worse because I just want to get the yell out of there. I finish up, ready to leave the stall and I snapped. First I lifted up my right foot and crushed it down on the metal toilet paper dispenser, knocking it off the stall wall. But that wasn't enough. Instead of just gently opening the stall door by pushing back the door latch, I decide to take both hands and rip the door off the stall wall. Detached it from the latch and metal bolts that held it. I literally had the door in my hands, and then just laid it next to the wall. My rage was quenched. LOL
So I'm washing my hands and considered taking something and breaking the mirror, but I knew I wasn't going to do it. However who knows, maybe a few seconds later as I'm still washing my hands, and the thought crossed my mind of the dam BJ dealer catching every 15 and 16 worldly possible, flashed into my mind, perhaps I would have.
Suddenly using my peripheral vision, I see a security guard burst into the room. Obviously he heard the noise. And I think to myself, "oh chit" now I'm in deep trouble. But then I think and realize that there's no security cameras in the bathroom. I also knew all that time that I was alone in there. He looked around, i'm not sure if he noticed the door or not because it was towards the back, but he saw I was alone there and I could see and feel him giving me the death stare. I calmly finished washing my hands, wiped them with a paper towel, and leisurely walked out. He didn't say a word. But all the way walking back to my car, I was just waiting for the. "hey you, stop" or words to that affect, and being taken to the security room for questioning. Fortunately the words never came.
The only good news is I never did anything like that again. I learned my lesson even though I didn't get punished for it. In reality it couldn't have been more than hundred bucks worth of damage, a few nuts and bolts needed to be replaced. The casino could easily afford it. Frankly over the years, I've seen a number of busted mirrors and broken fixtures in casino bathrooms. Not trying to excuse my abhorrent behavior, but others do it as well.
Again, if I had some fellow forum members to sound off with, I may have never done any of that in the first place. 😐

Even though am only down the $15, 1 $5 bet last week, $10 this week, just not feeling it to play much. Usually hit my stride month before Masters when the boys bear down. Then golf throughout the season as do not bet baseball except WS. Golf, NASCAR enough action for me. Either way am not a big bettor.
Looks like I will score 2 parlays i put in 9 weeks ago. $5 parlays: Joey Logano to win NASCAR Championship with division winners Detroit, Baltimore, Buffalo. $48.20. And $5 Parlay division winners Detroit, Buffalo. Pittsburgh Steelers ML game in October,LA Dodgers +1.5 in game 3 of world series. $19.46 for $5.

i'm sure i speak on behalf of everyone who frequents this thread, but how much you wager is totally inconsequential. not once have i ever taken notice of the size of your bets and thought, "bluejay is small potatoes." i mean if we examine this logically, you're the shrewd one and i'm the imbecile. if i unloaded the same amount you did i wouldn't be down 5 grand right now. so never perceive yourself as a "lesser" bettor, because i certainly don't view you that way and i'm confident that no one else here does either.
BLUEJAYWAY has my ever lasting respect after picking Mystik Dan cold in last year's Kentucky Derby. Paid around $40 if I'm remembering right.
That is extremely difficult to do cold. I'm sure I've played more horses, by far, than anyone else on here, and I never picked a $40 horse cold that I can remember.
I've had many $40 winners, a few over $100, but it was always betting multiple horses in the race, basically what I thought was a sucker odds on favorite, betting against it, and just catching one of the played long shots. Never a cold horse with odds that high.

I think a relatively safe parlay for next weekend might be……
Ravens over Steelers
Bills over Broncos
Eagles over Packers
I think I’ll start with that and maybe add Chargers over Texans on another parlay.
Truth be told I’ll just be glad to get out of the house. I’ve worked at my current employer for 7 years and today is the first day I remember work being called off because of weather. 🥳
Comments
What about Green Bay?
The only "small chance" ML upset I see is the Bears, but only if the Packers get sloppy.
Geez - a four way parlay on these mentioned ML picks. For a dollar, pays 58 cents profit.
Three way without Green Bay pays for a dollar, a gum ball buying 34 cents profit. LOL
Then again a 10k wager nets $3,388.76
Will the whales on here step up? 😉

Why I didn’t try to go to the casino today to place any bets…. also the Chiefs are stuck in KC for now.

this is all I have so far...
