    Hit a Draft Kings special, got lucky with the Mayfield TD

    I hope Draft Kings got it shoved up their rear end with this one

    This helped a lot, only down about $40 today and probably even give or take literally like $10 for the weekend so no big score but got a lot of action and I'm good with it

    2-1 odds on that prop which figured to be a shootout? Seems fat to me. Terrific value!

    You are getting scary good at finding these value props. I mean Mayfield throws two picks, and you still hit it. 👍

    Thanks Steve!

    I had very little faith in Mayfield at all but it was a mini Hail Mary to. get some lost money back and it worked, I got lucky because the Rams are going after him as it is and he is not throwing down field with confidence whatsoever

    I hammered the Rams pretty good in this game. Up by 24 points on the ML at halftime. But in this crazy world these days of miracle comebacks in the NFL, I ain't counting any chickens yet.

    Honestly I think you got a sweat free win with this one

    Mayfield is banged up and his receivers are horrible, even Godwin is on a limited snap count

    Wonder how many players went to the window to load up on the Eagles when they went up 21-0.

    Yea of course the logical conclusion was that the game is basically over. I didn't have anything on the game, so I wasn't following the lines. If the ML was still being offered, and that early in the game it probably was, it was likely one of those -5000 type odds, whereby $100 bet wins ya 2 bucks, or something like that.

    I think you're right that some if not many loaded up on that bet, not only to win some easy money, but to perhaps increase their player rewards on future bets. Not really a terrible idea. However that does prove once again, that the bookies don't give nothing away for free. If their computer figured it was impossible for the Cowboys to come back and win, there wouldn't have been any odds offered.

    Last season, that bet may have been a good idea. 21-0 lead, just keep handing the ball off to Barkley most of the time, grind down the clock, then get another TD or some field goals to ice it. Unfortunately that same Barkley no longer exists.

    On the flip side how many people did a dart throw at the Cowboys?

    I highly doubt it's even remotely close to the amount that were punching in an Eagles ticket on the ML and I'm sure some point spread's as well

    Not to mention the guys building parlays out using the Eagles as the dreaded "Filler"

    Yea those who hit the earlier games in a large parlay, needing the Eagles game for the last leg. Eagles go up 21-0, and they're looking at new car brochures.

    The new car got stolen in the 4th quarter.

    thank you sir, nice hit on LA last night

    check this out...

    the Thunder have started 17-1......wait for it......without their 2nd leading scorer, a guy named Jalen Williams who averaged almost 22 ppg and was all-defensive 2nd team last season. he hasn't played a single game yet (recovering from wrist surgery) but will return this season.

    as if they weren't scary enough already

    Maybe to make the OKC games fairer, the NBA will require the OKC players to tie 20lb weights around each leg? If that doesn't work, make it 30lbs. LOL

    Sort of leaning to the 49ers ML tonight.

    Not 100% sure yet, unless someone talks me out of it or into it. LOL

    Hard to go against SF, I mean Carolina could take over the division since Tampa has plummeted and Atlanta is a disaster but it's Carolina and Bryce Young.

    SF will pummel them IMO

    Thanks!

    49ers ML

    Might do a QB passing yards prop.

    this will not be the only bet i tie Philly into this week

    -3571.11

  • stevekstevek Posts: 31,079 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Caught Kansas ML a bit earlier today.

    Just played Houston. Very low ML odds. Probably should have played the spread, but I don't yet have the necessary stones. LOL

    On certain games where I really like the favorite, I have been hitting the spread a few times. I don't think Houston can lose this game, but that -12.5 scared me a bit.

  • galaxy27galaxy27 Posts: 9,145 ✭✭✭✭✭

    i said i wasn't done with Philly

    here's another

    feel very good about this one

    -3571.11

  • perkdogperkdog Posts: 32,662 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Ok what are you guys thinking on this one.

    I want to rip a bet on this, I'm leaning towards Goff but thinking Mahomes could light up that Dallas secondary, Burrow coming back from injury I just don't trust.

  • BLUEJAYWAYBLUEJAYWAY Posts: 10,659 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Made a throwaway bet for 3 games Thursday and 1 Friday for the first 4 pro games. Parlay all 4 overs. One will sink me no doubt.

    @perkdog

    i missed your passing yards post

    i've thought about it 5 times, and i've come up with 5 different choices 😅

    truly a dart throw imo..........only one i wouldn't consider is Love

    which probably means he's the dude

    I'm leaning Goff

    But I think it's going to be between Dak and Mahomes

    Got slapped all. day today betting College and NBA, $140 down the toilet
