Two minute end of game warning, and there's a lightning delay of game. Bucs have the ball and I need a TD. The defense is getting a nice rest. Hope this isn't a harbinger of the season ahead for me. 😝
Decided to cash-out at 65% equity, If the Bucs score, then they score. I think the equity was a good value in this situation.

Off topic but have you guys received any of the new coins in change yet? I love the dimes, I’ve been checking prices on eBay, proof sets are pretty expensive. Might buy a few rolls of dimes and quarters. I haven’t received any in change yet.
Good looking coin.
I haven't done a cash transaction in well over 20 years, might be around 30.
You could go to your bank and ask for a couple rolls of dimes, etc, and see if ya get any that way. Perhaps get lucky and there's some silver in there.
Yeah I might go to my bank and ask if they have those rolls specifically. Get them for face value that way instead of paying a premium on eBay. They just look cool and it’s a one year thing for the sesquicentennial year so I would like to have some. The half dollars and quarters are nice also and the quarters actually have 5 different designs.

Colts +9.5 alternate spread with a 50% profit boost
Sure is nice going into OT with 9.5 points in the bag. Especially since I got screwed in OT games, a brutal number of times last season. This season thus far, 2 for 2 - I'll take it. 😎
Beautiful - also had a no-sweat bet for Colts +6.5. I just left it at +6.5 for the better odds figuring if I lose it, I get another chance. But the win is much better.
Still up for the year but that number was around $4650 so steadily draining the profits
I won't touch anything until next Sunday, taking the week off from betting and hopefully put the breaks on this rough start to College/NFL
You're handling it right, taking a break. I think I've told this story before about someone I knew well at the track, who lost 30k one weekend, and he could ill afford it. Haven't seen him in over 20 years as I no longer go to the track. But last time I saw him, he had set-up a payment plan with the book, and was struggling very hard to pay it back. Just a bad feeling it may not have ended well.
I wished he had taken a break, rather than Martingale his bets trying to get even. The book he used was the type who would offer high credit lines within reason. I think you know what I'm talking about.

That's terrible
Lucky for me I have been doing this since my 20' and have learned my lesson before
Emotionally I want to grab 5k and throw it on something after a weekend of near misses and losing every bet but on tilt is where you usually get really hurt
I know we mention this type of post now and then but typing it out here always gives me good reminders not be stupid
Right now I'm totally fine about a $1200 loss weekend, if it was $5000 or $10000+ I'd be pretty upset at myself right now as I'm reflecting on the losing bets I made all weekend!

Paul - I've known ya from this forum for a long time. In no way, shape, or form was I worried about you. I'm sure you'll be okay.
That being said, what many may not realize, is that the approximate poster to lurker ratio on internet forums is historically around 20 to one. So on the average, for someone posting here, there are around 20 others who just read the posts, and never actually make a post. They may never even officially join the forum.
I think all of us here, root for each other to win, and enjoy helping others. That was the premise of my post.
You'll be back. You've come so dam close to winning one, if not a number of monster parlays. They gotta start hitting sooner or later. You're just way too knowledgeable of a sports fan for that not to happen.
Bottom line - you're certainly overall doing something right, as the graph you posted shows some nice positive money. 😊

Couple of rear end frostas from the weekend
I needed Indiana to score 42 against that cupcake but they decided not to play football in the first half so I missed that number by 4 points and missed out on a $1000 pay day
Chambliss for Ole Miss couldn't run the ball all of a sudden so him not getting 30 yards on the ground cost me $1200 pay our
Jacoby Brissett not throwing for 180 yards cost me a $795 winner
Jordan Love not throwing for 180 cost me a $1100 winner
Still up for the year but that number was around $4650 so steadily draining the profits

I got duped by a decent FSU start vs Alabama this weekend and lost a junk on a live bet.
Your being stupid is an upgrade to MY being stupid but I'm working on it. I'll get there
Mind bets are sort of peculiar. In that ya sorta want your pick to win because then you feel like ya may be coming back into handicapping form. But then again, ya sorta want it to lose so that you can be glad about the coin ya just saved. LOL
I was wondering if I would get this notice. I didn’t have any prop bets on Dart but DK will cancel them if there’s an early exit. Do all the books do this?

DK is phenomenal with this, I remember losing a player in the first quarter and my bet would be ruined so this was one of the best things to come along
I think there is a 3% fee on Fan Duel to get this coverage, not sure

Galaxy.. who lol’d your bet? I made sure it wasn’t me because I’ve actually done that accidentally sometimes.
Hope you hit it!
Anyway every time I hit a decent sized bet I’m putting some of the winnings on the brew crew.
Just thinking off the cuff. That "reward" might be an interesting play on the Falcons ML. If they can punch in a TD before the Packers score, ya win the bet at nice odds, and then couldn't care less if the Packers then come back and blow them out.
I gotta give it some more executive level thought. LOL
This might just be coincidental, but I had an excellent three days of football, and it seems every time that happens, the bookie bastige floods me with all sorts of "rewards", because they likely can't stand it when somebody wins money off them.
The times this summer when I was floundering trying to pick a dam MLB winner, hardly a dam peep out of them with a dam reward. Mainly just a meager profit boost offer of 20% or 25% for a player HR when the bastige is grabbing probably around 25% to 40% juice on that prop anyway.
They also just sent me a 50% profit boost on MLB, and I haven't bet a MLB game in around three weeks. They have no mercy. 😐

Not a bad idea. Dodgers are favored as expected. But the Brewers certainly getting their share of love from the books as a second favorite.
I've been thinking about betting against the Dodgers in the playoffs, but may wait until they win a series or two, and the public over bets them. Still a strong team, and who knows, they could go all the way again. However I can't see them being a good betting value in doing so.

Colts been getting more of the money. Spread now at Chiefs -6.
Probably doesn't mean chit, right? That being said, after the bet is placed, for some reason, I'd rather see the money coming in on my side.
Decided to cash-out at 65% equity, If the Bucs score, then they score. I think the equity was a good value in this situation.

Got blasted today
Down about $1200 for the week.
Got to regroup and bet better lol
Been a rough month

I think the Rams may cover, but I'm gonna play it safe.
We will see if Donald and Stafford are still themselves OR now GRANDPA's that their NFL age shows...
COPPER is gutter !
I got duped by a decent FSU start vs Alabama this weekend and lost a junk on a live bet.
Your being stupid is an upgrade to MY being stupid but I'm working on it. I'll get there
COPPER is gutter !
I think your G Men got a serious shot at beating the Rams tonight, I'll be shocked if they don't cover
*I'm not betting tonight though
I'm going with possible COVER as an underdog. Giants fans are very gun shy these days LOL
COPPER is gutter !
Kyren Williams - anytime touchdown, with a boost

And then the starting QB get hurts. Winston better be more accurate in the second half.

perk laughed because of the lit cigarettes
a couple of weeks ago i said i'm like an addicted smoker when it comes to being patient on Tuesday & Wednesday...........i can't do it
i wobble around needing a hit, so i place a bet to tide me over until football fires back up
Okay I didn’t notice the cigs. 😂😂😂
It's all about the cigs emoji especially when you don't actually smoke 😂😂😂
🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬
I'd never laugh and make fun of any of my friends bets here or at home!!
So I haven't bet since 4pm on Sunday, I'm on break until this coming Sunday however I am allowing an indiscretion or two on Saturday if need be 🚬🚬
Just received today - hadn't ever seen this one before?
