Let's talk about our "Jimmy the Greek specials"

Tigers ML in the 8:00 game.

Believe it or not, baseball is still being played. LOL

If world series goes 7 games baseball won't end until November 1st. Unless is a snow day.😆❄️

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.

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.

Phillies ML

@perkdog

noted!

got any action going tonight?

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

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.

this is a small one

(that's what she said)

-3537.36

The good news it was only a quarter.

Betting MLB - tough way to make a living.

Ya got that ugliness out of the way, now how about a good weekend.

didn't see a snap of that game last night and didnt even bother to watch the highlights, so to anyone who did, could you kindly explain how -- and i can't believe i'm about to say this -- the Giants blew the doors off Philly

It was Rosie O'Donnell naked ugly. 😒

I couldn't catch the game last night either but I'd like an explanation on how Dart had 101 yards passing at the start of the SECOND quarter and failed to. reach 200 yards passing for the game?

Lost $100 on that nonsense

I wasn't following Dart in that regard. I did play a three way parlay in which Hurts hit his part of it. But it wasn't close since Barkley failed to reach his part of it, and the Eagles lost the game.

Yea, tough to see that bet losing, considering the Giants scored 34 points.

I lucked out big time catching this in the bottom of the 7th, insane sweat

dude that was a NICE hit

keep it rolling this weekend!
