    Sam Leavitt 225+ yards with a 50% boost

    I would have lost $500 on Ole Miss if I wasn’t so lazy that I forgot to sign up for a betting site. That’s kind of like winning $500.

    I got Dante Moore in a parlay, I'm hoping for 2 things

    1 he is ok
    2 I get an early exit on him so it cancels that leg out cuz it looks like I got a good shot to finally win a College bet providing SMU can throw for some yardage

    I only have one question.

    How the yell did you hit that Michigan State game? 😉

    first off, congrats on the Leavitt booster.........and the teaser! i'm not going to take credit for the latter, but.........has a monster been born? 🤔 😂

    i'm glad you asked about that game. if i'm going to bellyache about bad beats, but then i must praise the gambling Gods when they throw me a bone. 3 of 4 teaser legs were a layup, but i should have eaten dirt with Michigan State. they sucked. it was a weird line after i was done messing with it........+18.5. yet somehow the Huskers were up 31-13 with one minute left to play. they had the ball, 4th down at the Michigan St 13. Nebraska's head coach called off the dogs and attempted a pass that ultimately fell incomplete, instead of a sure-fire FG that would have sunk me. it would have been a gross way to lose a bet that otherwise went swimmingly.

    i wonder if that man loves foot rubs ?🦶

    Tough card today. The only game that jumps out at me a little bit is the Ravens.

    Will need to take a closer look at everything. Have some boosts to use.

    Just looked at my account. The bookie bastige has 9 "rewards" waiting for me.

    Reminds me of the line from the Guns N' Roses song, Mr Brownstone which is about heroin addiction. "He won't leave me alone."

    Tough weekend for me…. I had one college parlay and Louisville screwed me on that one as a heavy favorite and an NFL parlay that Seattle screwed me as a heavy favorite. I do have this wager wrapped up, I don’t know if they wait until next week to pay me but the Bills are going to lead the AFC east after week 4 no matter what happens next weekend.

    Are you f* kidding me? The Ravens coach must have money on the Cowboys to make that play call. One of the dumbest I have ever seen. Ravens may have already lost the dam game. 😒

    I already cashed-out for 55% equity. I'm not going to sit here and aggravate myself continuing a bet on a coach who must be on drugs.

    If the Ravens come back and win, then more power to them.

    stevekstevek Posts: 32,764 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Saints miss an extra point. My phenomenal good luck for the week seems to be wearing off. 😐

    And after I cash-out, the Ravens march right down the field and score a TD. 😐

    I'm up way too much to get hissed off about all this...I think? LOL

    Leaning slightly towards the Rams in the night game. But if the Saints don't win, I'm done for the day.

    did your friend hedge?

    under 87.5, and the Sox ended up with 87 wins

    simply incredible

  • Options
    stevekstevek Posts: 32,764 ✭✭✭✭✭

    The Ravens coach basically spotted the Cowboys 7 points. Despite that, the Ravens are pulling away. I'm red hot, and I cashed-out for a loss like a frightened mouse. Not too happy about that, but gotta shake it off. A Saints win would restore my confidence. LOL

    Had Jameis Winston thrown for 7 more yards I would have cashed both those parlays

    I got run over with about $400 other parlay mixes that got destroyed because CJ Stroud couldn't throw for freaking 200 yards this week yet he has been throwing for North of 200 like it's cool in the other games this season so far

    Disgusting that one leg keeps missing like this

    The good news is I hit Shough and Cousins, hopefully that breaks the losing for me

    A first for me. Never seen a second added on the clock at the end of a pro game, coupled with a game winning score within that 1 second.

    Glad I abstained from tonight's game. I was gonna play the Rams ML.

    At least I did something right today. 😐

    I'm a dreadful 8-7 straight-up, so far in this week's NFL.

    I may not make the cut in the Pick'em contest.

    Case Keenum is starting for the Bears tonight and the Eagles are only -3? His last start was in 2023. I guess he is well rested? 😛

    Perhaps because Barkley may not be at 100%? Lot of mileage on those wheels.

    When a line seems confusing like this, I usually stay away from the game. But I'm thinking about tickling some props.

    I had $26 in DK Bucks which I ripped on Stafford over 250 passing, luckily I won that because the Rams are a bunch of losers

    I had a feeling when it was 13-0 because they just couldn't punch it in from inside the 5 and they let Denver just hang around, they should be ashamed of themselves

    Oh the guy who brought Minnesota's to the playoffs but decided they didn't want him and they been searching for QB ever since?

    That guy? Keenum is an upgrade over that trash Bagant or whatever his name is

    At halftime of Rams game with Rams up 16-0 and Denver flat, I needed the over. Thought no way they go over. So hit 1 of 3 parlays for a net profit of .72 cents. But a win is a win.

    Not crazy about tonight's game, but I got a boost so I gotta play it.

    Eagles ML

  • Options
    stevekstevek Posts: 32,764 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Case Keenum O/U passing yards is 167.5

    Rarely see an NFL QB that low.

    I'm thinking the Eagles will probably play for the run, and if they get beat, to let a rusty Keenum beat them with the pass. Could mean Keenum completes a fair amount of passes, but that includes some picks.

    The over is tempting on this. It's only 42 yards a quarter. Then again, maybe it's a suck-in number. If he gets off to a sloppy start, he might get benched early, then the over is dead.

    Four MLB playoff games on Tuesday. With the uncertainty involved in MLB games, I'm thinking about just randomly playing the ML dogs in all four games. If I split 2-2 it's still a decent profit. Even 1-3 wouldn't be that bad of a loss. While 3-1 would be terrific. I'll likely do it.

    I'll probably receive a profit boost. The only decision will be which dog to use it on, and try to get lucky.

    Overall i think this is a good value bet. And if all four favorites win, well then so be it.

    Wouldn't surprise me if Keenum has a good game. We've all seen these old QB's come in when fresh, step up and sometimes win a few games. His "problem" may be in the red zone. I think he may throw a pick or two in there, for various reasons.

    Case Keenum 5+ passing yards, first drive -220

    Seems like stealing, had to take it. Probably a mistake when it looks too good to be true.

    First drive?

    That's harder than you think, I mean he should get it and I hope he does but the million + things that can make that not happen is absurd

    No problem if he doesn't get there. Was only a $5 tickle. LOL

    Patriots are favored by -8.5 against the Raiders? I thought the Raiders might be a slight favorite in this game on Sunday? I'm very rarely off on a line by this much. Not sure how the bookie computer came up with this?

    Perhaps the Raiders suffered some key injuries? I'll have to investigate this further

    That game is 2 weeks away but it does seem like a crazy line.
