    Good handicapping on that parlay. 👍

    Wish I could make a call on the Super Bowl. Toughest Super Bowl to try to handicap in recent memory.

    Frankly, as far as the Eagles winning, I would have rather seen the Bills win the AFC. But they didn't, so the Eagles will have to deal with the Chiefs.

    Opening line is Chiefs -1.5. I can't see it straying too far from that. Could tighten up or loosen up maybe a half point one way or the other.

    Was fortunate to have 2 of my 4 SB bets wind up in the SB. All 4 were placed in October. Not large bets, but I will profit regardless of the outcome. An Eagles win pays more. So who to root for. I have a weakness for what's known in betting circles as the "Holy Ghost". Whereby wins come in streaks of 3. Could be a horse race or whatever. So leaning toward this possible eventuality coming where KC wins.. But will be pleased with either result. When the game gets closer may consider an extra play. The over is definitely a consideration. It's just enjoyable to finally enjoy a bet I can in no way lose. Hope other players here have the same experience in their plays.

    I came so. close to. a $1600 and a $1100 payday!

    I needed Kelce to score a TD to fill a parlay

    Another bet I had was a trifecta play

    Most passing, rushing and receiving yard leaders for the day, I had Daniels, Worthy and Barkley

    Daniels and Barkley hit but Worthy came about 30 yards short 🙄

    Scottie the favorite to win at +400

    Geez, that sure is short odds considering he finished 6th in this tourney last season, and didn't win a tourney until his 6th start last season.

    Great golfer of course. But the real odds, I think should be around +700, in that range. But the bookies know how much Scottie is beloved out there, and simply aren't going to give the bettors any value on him. They could make him even money here, and probably there would still be some bettors who would bet on him.

    I'm not saying he can't win, frankly I have no clue one way or the other. However that +400 sure doesn't seem to me to be a good value.

    Will have to see how he recovers from his hand injury.

    Maybe the doctors replaced his hand with some sort of bionic hand, which improved his game, and why he is only +400. LOL

    If so, maybe that will pick up the speed of play.

    here you go peeps

    Leonard Tose may have been even worse. He literally gambled away ownership of the Philadelphia Eagles, along with his trucking company. Most if not all of it went down the drain at the A/C casinos. I think it was also the blackjack tables as with Daly.

    Most sports fans, especially golf fans, know that Daly was a big gambler. But 55 million, my goodness. He would have been better off buying a piece of a casino, even starting his own with some partners.

  • galaxy27galaxy27 Posts: 8,252 ✭✭✭✭✭

    read up on Tose. a very sobering, cautionary tale.

    as for Daly, it's a semi-miracle that he's still alive. one of the most unhealthiest lifestyles around.

    true story. couple of years ago i was at the Insperity golf tournament (Champions tour) and Daly was hitting his 2nd shot on the par-4 18th. i was at the green watching with my girlfriend. he rinsed his approach and i said out loud, "oh no." she goes, "what?" i said, "he's about to go to the dark side." sure enough, he transition to full-blown IDGAF mode in a matter of seconds. another ball was in the air in the blink of an eye. when he got to the green, he didn't even line up his putt -- he just walked up and casually hit it. and he did it again. and again. and again. after carding a quad 8, he immediately walked off the green, hopped into his cart (he's allowed to use a cart on the Champs tour), and floored it. saw him almost flatten a handful of people.

    he is one of a kind

    Wonder how Daly came up with that 55 million dollar number?

    Perhaps endorsements? Either that or he's got a vivid imagination.
