    Agreed, the Indiana game is a full on sweat at halftime

    Nebraska is chewing up the clock but not scoring much

    it took a minor miracle to win leg #1

    i somehow dodge that bullet, then move on to leg #2, where 11 1/2-point favorite Florida is getting blown out on homecoming day to a 2-3 team 😅

    Slight loss for the day thus far. Hitting player props like wildfire. Giving it back by not hitting the game scores at a profitable percentage. Bankroll not collapsing, but has been on a downward slide.

    That Penn State line is a puzzler? I guess the computer is anticipating a bounce-back win?

    Penn State was at -1.5. Now USC is at -1.5. At least that's making more sense. I thought USC would be around -3.5 to -4.5 maybe a bit higher. The big boys are jumping all over that line as they probably should, unless Penn State springs to life.

    Been a lot of townspeople carrying torches towards Matt Campbell this week. We shall see how the team responds.

    I bought a book titled, "How to win big money and get rich betting sports in just 5 easy steps"

    So far the book hasn't been working. I'm thinking of returning it to the bookstore for a refund.

    We shall soon see which one, two, or all three of these teams screws me out of a winning parlay.

    Have to admit, I do like the value with the boost.

    I don't usually like to post ahead of time, as it's a slight superstition of mine.

    Let's see what happens with this. I don't even follow UFC. The fight is in roughly 2 hours. I'm not responsible if anyone follows my bet with one of their own and loses their house.

    Nothing like finding a new innovative way to lose a parlay. By one point in overtime with the other games in the bag. 😒

    Need to win two late night games, along with the player props, to help absorb a small loss for the day.

    They all look very good right now, but who the yell knows.

    thanks @BLUEJAYWAY......at least something went the way i wanted it to yesterday :D

    have a pretty good story for you guys

    so, I'm sure everyone saw my 4-teamer that went up in flames yesterday. wasn't even close. had 7, 9 and 11 1/2 point favorites lose outright. and Indiana, a 7.5 point fav, had to come back from 11 in the 4th to avoid the clean sweep. well, that comeback turned out to be the worst possible thing that could have happened to me.

    here's why

    my book gives out weekly and monthly VIP bonuses, all tied to how much you've won/lost that week/month, of course. last week (prior to that parlay) i actually won a little, so i received the weekly bare minimum ($10) right after i made that bet yesterday. no rollover, it's 10 bucks for me to do whatever with. well, guess what i decided to do? and i wasn't in a serious state when i did this, mind you. i took that $10 and an extra 43 cents (to leave my account balance at an even dollar) and created a 4-team parlay with all 4 dogs from my 300$ parlay (of all big favorites). a jocular quasi-hedge, of sorts.

    well, it almost got very real with that joke

    I parlayed South Carolina (getting 11 1/2.......won), Oklahoma (getting 7.5......won), Kentucky (getting 9........won), and Nebraska (getting 7.5........lost 20-17). my transaction history doesn't show the amount i could've won.......because i ultimately lost. but i do remember the payout.

    i didn't post it here because a) it wasn't even my money i used to place the wager (except for the extra 43 cents), and b) i knew it stood no chance. turns out, it had more than a chance. i didn't know it at the time, but that comeback by the Hoosiers cost me......wait for it.......$2,296 & change

    so close, yet so far away. but hey, makes for a great gambling anecdote!

    I watched the Eagles kick the game winning field goal and thought well I lost another bet. Went to check my DK account and found out I won!

    That was the most clutch runback I have ever seen (not including music city miracle) and that he was tackled with 1 second left... I almost felt bad for the Eagles.

    Nice miracle win. Glad ya hit it. I had no skin in the game. And the Eagles weren't going anywhere anyway this season.

    Haven't made a wager yet today. A bit worn out from all the games yesterday.

    The grotesque swings in game form are brutal. I've contemplated how to make a profit off that, but can't seem to come up with anything that works consistently.

    Ya come up with an idea, it hits three or four straight for a nice profit. Thinking ya discovered the holy grail. Then as sure as green apples, ya lose three or four in a row doing the exact same thing.

    Right now, I've been hitting player props like a sure thing. Can't recall the last time I missed one, maybe around a few weeks ago. Have I discovered the holy grail? Well, I'm not about to kid myself. Not yet anyway. LOL

    Looks like the plane is crashing early today. 3 parlays knocked out by 4pm. Other 2 live soon to follow. Need Denver game 43 for over on 2 parlays Unlikely with amount of time left.
    Time to punt until next week.

    I just got back from the casino, I took out $200 and went home with $197.80

    I'll post up the results when it settles

    Bijan Robinson, anytime touchdown with a boost.

    Not that crazy about this prop, but didn't like anything else, and needed to use the boost.

    When I did the pickem contest I didn’t know Lamar was out so I picked the Ravens but I put my money on the Falcons.

    Bijan is putting up the rushing stats, hopefully that helps Perk. However three or four good chances at punching it in, but hasn't happened thus far.

    I should have put my money on the Ravens and gone with the Falcons in the pickem contest. I did the opposite.
    Anyway I think tomorrow I’m going with the Brewers moneyline especially if I get a profit boost.
    I think I’ll stay away from MNF and just enjoy the game. I’ll be rooting for the Bills.
