    Live bet Baker Mayfield and his hero ball play

    2 Parlays, toast. Hit 1 with the late FG by Titans to cover 42 over. Waiting on final parlay. Need Buffalo ML with over KC game. Always nice to hit an end of game victory pushing my parlay over the line with 3 seconds left.

    Super Bowl LX odds
    Bills: +400
    Eagles: +700
    Ravens: +800

    These were the top three Super Bowl favorites going into today's games.

    All three lost.

    I almost cashed this out for $110 before the Pats game, so glad I didn't

    sometimes it's difficult to hold your water lol

    very nice hit homie!

    btw, does 'SGP' stand for same game played?

    i continue to get my wrist slapped when i attempt to wander into the DK sportsbook, hence the unfamiliarity

    SGP = Same game parlay

    DK gets cheap with the cash outs and this time it cost them, I had a $350 winner hanging in the balance with 3 out of 5 legs covered and they only offered $110 which didn't sit well with me so I let it fly, had they done the honorable thing and offered at least half I would have cashed it so F 'em

    @perkdog

    i should have known that.....it's a little early lol

    i figured the parlay part was already implied

    adding Mayfield & Darnold was brilliant. i watched that game and it was matador defense for 4 quarters

  • stevekstevek Posts: 30,693 ✭✭✭✭✭

    My estimation on the cash-outs, is the books grab approximately another 10% juice on the bet. If ya cash-out too often, you're killing your own bankroll in the long run. If ya have confidence in the pick, best to just let it play out.

    I'm not saying to never cash-out, just do it sparingly, don't make a habit of it. Tough enough to beat the books straight up with the juice already factored in when ya place the bet, without too often giving them another 10%.

    I agree with this but I get hung up. on the fact that I've missed out on thousands of winnings by missing just 1 leg of a parlay,,

    That is an interesting point. My comments were only thinking along the lines of spread and ML wagers, non-parlays, just individual bets. I stand firm on my comment about that.

    But for example say you've got $10 invested in a fat parlay, and say the cash out is $300, but the full parlay with one leg left would be say $600. I could see the temptation there of taking the sure thing payoff of a nice $300. Even if ya know you're paying more juice on that $300 cash out, it's still a very nice 30-1 hit.

    So cashing out sparingly I can understand. Tough call, but I'd still say let it ride. Don't forget, you have hit on some nice ones, which you wouldn't have hit if you had cashed out. And probably the books are grabbing much more juice on a cash out parlay bet, than a spread or ML bet.

    I realize my perspective on this is perhaps different than most. I'm not in this to play to win to play. I'm in it to play to win to bank. If I can't make money at it, then I ain't playing. 😎

    in the past week i lost a parlay because the Rams couldn't beat the 49ers practice squad, lost another because Penn St couldn't beat the UCLA school of dyslexia, and lost yet another because the undefeated, defending SB champs couldn't protect a 14-pt lead in the 4th quarter

    hell i'm surprised i didn't bet on Arizona yesterday

    that does it, i'm going the SGP route tonight, a la perk (1st one ever)

    -3638.32

    Big move on the Phillies game line towards the Phillies.

    I gotta go with the Big Boys, knowing they aren't always right.

    Love it!!!!!

    I hope you SMASH IT!!!!

    One thing I highly suggest tinkering with is live betting, that is a game changer for real

    Like any type of betting it's not an easy thing and there are the same things in play that can screw you but if you catch it at the right time it's a good way to get more bang for your buck.

    Like yesterday, Mayfield was at 50 yards passing at the start of the second quarter and the odds for him to throw for 250 went up. to.+165 where pre game it might have been -150 or something, he ended up. throwing for 360+ or more can't remember but at the time of my bet the odds for him to throw for +300 yards were like +1200 which is massive value.

    Not always but sometimes if you can catch it at the right time and hit it, it's huge

    Just something to look into brother

    "One thing I highly suggest tinkering with is live betting, that is a game changer for real"

    Completely agree. For a multitude of reasons.

    would that be a form of arbitrage?

    Not yet, I worked late and am just checking stuff out now.

    Again I might wait till the first quarter to put something in, Mahomes passing yards is definitely something I'm going to keep an eye on, Lawrence not so much since KC's D is pretty legit.

    I'll try to post quickly if I put any live action in

    If I'm understanding the term correctly I'd say no since it's all from the same market

    Ride the bets out,win or lose. Just when you accept a buy out on a potential big score, that's when it will hit. And major regret ensues. Nice score BTW.
