    Bell won the Atlanta race Sunday. Played him and Byron in Daytona 500 last week. One week early on Bell. Did not follow up on Bell the following week in Atlanta.

    You are really locked in on this NASCAR

    Take some money from the bookies - they already have enough. 👍

    Thanks. Hope the early luck is indicative of future riches. It's a long way to the championship.

    I never tried to handicap NASCAR or watched the lines. I wonder if they have live betting or not?

    Must be gut wrenching when an accident begins to happen, and ya try following the carnage to see whether or not it affects your particular wager. Might be similar to steeplechase racing when horses fall down and ya hope your horse isn't involved.

    Only won my Daytona bet with Byron due to an accident. Late in that race my other play was Bell. Late in the race he was second on the outside and got taken out in a mishap. In Atlanta this past Sunday Larson looked like a winner and got passed on the last lap. It's never over till it's over in NASCAR. So many positions change in the last 20 laps. That's when the boys get serious and can be sure the caution will come out within those final 20 laps.

    I like Lafayette ML a little bit in the 7:00 game.

    Parlay with the extremely short odds lock, Duke ML game.

  • stevekstevek Posts: 29,665 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I like the Nevada ML and Gonzaga ML in the later games.

    Parlay as well.

    My NASCAR play this week is not filled with a lot of enthusiasm, due to the event being a road course race. 1 of 6 I believe this year. Not my favorite type of race. The play is Ryan Blaney for a top 5 finish. It's said gotta be in it to win it, or to lose it.😀

    Celts were down at the time of the bet and were positive money, Brooklyn was up over 10 and was at +500 so did a lil parlay dart action and promptly lost both sides of it

    I was following the Brooklyn game and saw where they were up early in the game. Brooklyn was around a 13 point dog before the game. They did wind-up covering the spread, but lost ground during the game and couldn't win the ML for ya.

    The Celtics on the other hand, they have been erratic this season in some games. I think they were around a 6 point favorite, and they wind-up getting blown out? Although the Pistons are hot, having now won 8 in a row.

    I know this sounds sick, but I would have hated to win the juicy part of a parlay, only to get screwed by the much easier part of it. So better the Nets lost for ya anyway, less aggravating.

    You have been knocking on the door with some nice odds parlays. I know you've hit some good ones in the past, and hopefully hitting another one is right around the corner.

    Thanks Steve, parlays are tough as your well aware!

    I like Wright State ML in the 9:00 game.

    Also like San Diego a tiny bit in the 9:30 game as a +12.5 ML flyer for some inexplicable reason. With a spread saver. Could turn out to be a very ugly pick. LOL

  • stevekstevek Posts: 29,665 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I like Sacred Heart ML, and also Fairfield +1.5 in the 7:00 games.

    Parlay as well.

  • stevekstevek Posts: 29,665 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I like the Clippers ML a little bit in the 10:00 game

    Parlay of Clippers ML, Harden over 14.5 points, Zubac over 7.5 rebounds

    Okay, I'm a glutton for punishment, I admit it. 😆

    I again like the Clippers ML on the re-match of Friday's game against the Lakers.

    Maybe I'll like the same parlay again, I gotta think about it. 🤔

    He was my other play in the Daytona 500. Got wrecked, and then wins the next 2 when I did not follow up on him.

    hope you guys are doing well. it's been a minute, so i had to go back and bring my donations up to speed. i won a chunk on the Eagles, but i'm not including it in my P/L because I didn't post it ahead of time. but in my defense, i had some real-life pop tarts going down and i wasn't in a good headspace. almost forgot to stick a bet in as a result.

    these top XX golf bets are the bane of my existence, but in true degen fashion i'm like a moth to a flame. seems like every time i drop on a guy with a stellar record at a specific track, he plays subpar golf.

    well, Rory has a stellar record at Arnie's tournament. for crying out loud dude, one time

    Have no idea of your dilemma but hoping you have reversed that negative course. No doubt we all have been in those situations. But you survive and become stronger. Glad you are back and good luck with your play this week. Masters is on the horizon. Get pumped for that.😀

    I realize this may be considered madness going against the #1 ranked team at this late date in the season, but I like Texas A&M +4.5 just a little bit in the 9:00 game.

    I picked a good week to skip NASCAR race. Would not have picked the winner Bell. He won his 3rd in a row. This was by a nose.

    My 2 plays in The Players Championship this week. Both for top 20. Spieth and Bezuidehout. Usually Spieith is not a consideration for me. However, in this case I believe he has extra motivation coming from his being snubbed from Arnie's tournament last week. Same could be said for Fowler. But the edge goes to Spieth. He has shown some life this year as well.
