    Well guys, that Falcons game last night broke my spirit to continue this venture. Wasn't just that game, but a number of bad beats recently that I'm not sure a Hollywood scriptwriter could conjure up.

    Long story short, I think it's best for me to step away from the forum for a while, as much as I sincerely like everybody here, yes even Darin. Not sure how long this will be. Could be a short while, might be a long while, we shall see.

    In any event, I wish everyone the very best of luck and good health! 😊

    I continue to do well on Circa, outside of 2 big losses. I deposited $2,000 prior to the NFL season. They had a $250 cash bonus after wagering a certain amount, and after 5 weeks, I'm up $500+ on the wagering side.

    Let's get a big one down on the Chiefs after a bye week.

    FanDuel backed off the promos yesterday, going with 30%ers, except for a 50% live profit boost that I got in right at the commercial after kickoff. Betting the underdogs with the boosts doesn't work every time. Lol

    My only bet today. The only profit boost I was offered for this game was a 3 leg parlay for a 30% boost. I said no thanks all I want is the moneyline.

    Thanks perk… great job on your wagers on the SNF game. Keep it going!
    I’ve got 4 different bets on the Brewers to win the World Series and with the win today the cash out offers are getting better all the time.

    Thanks bud!

    Gotta love the Brew Crew right now, up 2 on the Dodgers

    Keep an eye on those cash outs, especially if you got 4, maybe one of you can get your money back and free roll the World Series with them

    I'm rooting for you!

    I had the White Sox at +8000 but only a $25 bet made in June, had a $125 cash out offer when they were up 2-0 over the tribe, wish I cashed it but it was short money so I let it fly

    Good advice on the cash outs. I only have $140 total all 4 bets with the odds ranging from +600 to +780. If I cashed all of it now my profit would be $260 but if I didn’t cash any and the Brewers win the WS my profit would be around $850-900. So I do keep a close eye on it. I probably will make sure I make at least a small profit.

    The long catch, stumble and trip, still was enough to hit 210 yards on the nose, and then of course everything else that happened after that...

    A similar but smaller one on DraftKings. Their boost was limited to $10 max bet.

    I was 10 yards short on Allen's passing yardage and 8 yards short on Keon Coleman receiving yards.

    Still finished in the positive for the night, I had a solid weekend so can't complain

    Quite the awareness of Shakir to only fall down in wide open space after he'd gotten just enough yards for Allen to hit 210 on the nose, but then still let James Cook keep the longest touchdown of the night for my DraftKings King of the End Zone promo.

    I see now I’m going to lose this bet because the Count bet on the Guardians. I’m dropping dimes like Brady in his prime! This one isn’t mine but I bought two from this dealer same grade and it’s their eBay pic. Decided to get the best… proof silver.

    you guys hit up promo bets far more often than i do, but my book dangled a carrot in my face that i couldn't pass up

    get 50$ on a 100$ NHL bet

    Blues win, +150

    Blues lose, -63

    if they do win, there will probably be more 🏒 bets.......cuz i'm a moth to a flame like that

    no real place to put this, so this thread is as good as any

    these two guys are a social media duo from Australia

    they lip sync sports calls that feature humorous comments from sports announcers

    they are phenomenal

    this was a good one

    Going with a baseball- college football parlay. On Saturday I’m probably going to copy galaxies Texas- Ohio State parlay as it seems solid. Indiana looks weak to me and possibly overrated.

    Liking that

    I don't trust the Dodgers but I'm in on OSU, I think Galaxy took Texas but I think Florida with the points might be the better play, Texas and Manning are tough to count on

    I jumped on this for the Rays tomorrow at +$$ for the ML

    It's an "Up 2 Early Win" so if at anytime the Rays get up 2 I win the bet regardless of the outcome

    Good luck galaxy on the hockey bets.
    Several years ago I was thinking about buying a Connor McDavid rookie card so I would follow his stats pretty closely. And I still do he’s off to a great start with 17 points in 6 games. I should have bought a rookie card. They’ve probably gone up a lot since then.

    no dice tonight -- lost in a shootout

    onward...

    increasing my exposure on this parlay -- now up to 350$

    if Texas loses to Florida at home, they go from being the #1-ranked team to being fraudulent with a cap F

    and if Ohio St loses to Indiana again, they are officially their biotches and they'll have two losses in mid-October. i lost a chunk on the Buckeyes last year when these two played, so they owe me

    or something like that.

    Couple take ways from last night

    Plate appearances are really degenerate bets

    Mid week College Football bets on teams nobody cares about is not a good idea

    Bo Nix can be added to my NEVER bet on his stats ever again

    The Dodgers cost a lot of people money

    The highest cashout offer on my Denver parlay was $105, and only for a moment. I did not act on it, but still considered the $80s and then $70s offers before they removed the option completely for pretty much all of the 3rd quarter and most of the 4th, before posting offers again late in the 4th quarter.

    I thought maybe once it got to overtime, I'd get lucky and win a bet for $900 that I'd have gladly walked away from for $250. But Nix and the receivers all came up short and I lost $50 cash.

    The $50 bonus bet for the no sweat safety net bet promo then hit my account immediately. I'll see where I can best use that this weekend.
