If I added correctly, we earned $76 from the 3 point promo on DraftKings.
32 threes in the Boston game, and 22 threes each in the Knicks game and Spurs game. I love getting free money like that!
I thought it was 24 threes in the Spurs game which would give you and perk $78
Lucky me I missed out on the best game so only $46 for me.
You are correct. $24 from the Spurs have.
You would think 14+10 would be easy enough...
I'm thinking the online box score must have been incorrect when I first looked and tallied 22.

Agreed but I just can't trust AJ Brown
Hope you cash though, I got him at 50 yards, I wasn't comfortable pushing it any higher
gambling is so grand. i try to distance myself from it, then it pulls me right back in. but it's not what you think. i truly was done for the foreseeable future. i hadn't deposited any money, i hadn't placed a bet. but then this happened.
my book offers free contests from time to time, and one such contest took place on opening night of the NBA. there were three games, and you had to pick the spread & total for each one. so 6 picks total. those who were able to hit all 6 shared 10k. no rollover, nada. straight cash, homie. over 5,000 entrants. 51 picked all 6 correctly. guess who was one of the 51? 😅
here i am, destroying brain cells via bets that have been coming up short on a regular basis, then i blaze through 6 NBA picks in a free contest and connect on all of them to get myself back in the game. i bet i didn't spend 30 seconds on them. it may be a very brief return, but i now have $196.08 at my disposal to see if i can make some magic happen.
i honestly had forgotten about entering that contest. i received an email today saying that my account had been credited, and after i knifed through the confusion i just laughed.

@perkdog That was a game full of nice results for you.
All of my player props in my parlay hit, but Brown took so long to get the 3rd catch that there was no play to make on the New England moneyline, either on the cashout or playing the Bears moneyline on another app to lock in a couple hundred profit. Oh well, that's the game we play... try again next time.

I had to peek back in on the movement of the Trailblazers moneyline. I got in on them at 4 a.m. and got my money down at -290. Galaxy got them at -330.
Circa, the book I placed the bet with, now currently has them at -485 with the other side at +385. The other books are pumping up the odds, as well.
I'm feeling pretty good about this one, so I'll likely just hang tight and try to cash the full ticket, but this, my friends, is how you make money sports betting without actually having to know sports. You use math. Find a weak line and hammer it.
.
Sacramento will be vying for worst record in the league this season, and Portland has a sneaky good roster that just trashcanned the Suns in their first game
so the movement makes sense
but we've all bet on games that made perfect sense before the game started, and zero sense after it was over
if wouldn't hurt my feelings whatsoever if they just started the game on a 21-0 run like they did against Phoenix
I had a boost to use on this specific game. The math says to take the underdog at the boosted payout. It's not a sure thing individually, but likely a profitable strategy over a large sample size.
.
.
Ain't that right, Lamar?!
.
.
And lastly, checking in on my Chiefs bet. Fanatics is starting to get a little bit more nervous, upping the cashout offer ever so slightly...

I was so annoyed that Texas Tech destroyed my parlays today then BYU wrecked my attempt at getting my money back BUT as annoyed as I was I'm so glad I didn't rip a big bet on Ole Miss, that is a complete joke

I don't care that it's National Tight End Day. For some reason, just a gut feeling, I'm thinking there's no way this guy catches a touchdown. Let's see if Aaron Rodgers has anything to say about it. Lol

Odds dropped a bit, so I added to my position.

Came back today from a two week break and had a pretty good day. Made some adjustments, and it worked out well. Also decided to turn things up a notch on the wagering.
Sure hated to cash-out on the below bet which looks like it's going to be a winner. But Mahomes has been way too dangerous in fourth quarter comebacks. Still happy about the positive money.
Mahomes and Walker both killed a lot of prop bets last night.
I didn't play any props, but I thought Walker might have a good game against his old team, that didn't want to pay him what he thought he was worth. The Seahawks obviously know his tendencies, and game planned accordingly quite successfully with their defensive scheme.
The last time the Kansas City Chiefs were held to 3 points or less was on October 25, 2026, in a 20–3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
Prior to that game, the only other time the Chiefs were restricted to 3 points or fewer in the Patrick Mahomes era was a 27–3 loss to the Tennessee Titans on October 24, 2021
Tonight the Cowboys are favored by 4.5 points against the Eagles. Shouldn't it be 45 points?
I mean the Eagles season is already over. No Hurts, Barkley questionable for tonight's game, and the Eagles two top receivers are out for tonight. If the Cowboys focus, along with the Philly boo-birds, this game could be over quickly.
Cowboys have a tendency to lose games like this at home, but usually prevail on the road. Of course it's the Cowboys with their inconsistency, so who the yell knows for sure?
gratuitous (worthless?) advice from someone who will be on the sidelines for the foreseeable future:
don't ever look at a game and get overly confident about it. this is so cliche, but from my personal betting experiences it's more apparent now than ever before: anything can happen.
yesterday i was attempting to make some magic happen with a wad of "free" money i won in a contest, and i made the ill-advised decision to park it on the double-digit favorite Texans. if there was someone out there who thought that the Giants -- led by JJ McCarthy -- were going to waltz into Houston and take out the suddenly revitalized Texans, i missed it. moreover, if someone was able to break that game down and drop some of their hard-earned money on New York to emerge victorious, then by all means that person(s) should continue to gamble. i personally didn't see it coming.
but after watching one half of the first quarter, i saw it coming.
it was crystal clear to me that not only were those two teams on a level playing field, but the Giants were arguably better. McCarthy was playing at a level i didn't think he was capable of, and dare i say the Giants had a better defense. people -- yours truly included -- seem to be banking on the 2025 version of the Houston Texans defense in 2026, and that's a great way to lose money. that unit is a far cry from the one that took the field last season. one half of one quarter and i knew the 10 1/2 point spread was a crock of shit. i literally held my nuts for 3 1/2 quarters + OT hoping that a team i no longer had any faith in could somehow, someway exit that game with a victory.
didn't happen.
again i must reiterate this: anything can happen. the preseason SB favorite Rams lost to Arizona at home two weeks ago. it was at that point i told myself, i need to distance myself from these games. i was briefly given a new lease on life, then i was quickly reminded of that yet again after witnessing Texans-Giants yesterday.
I should have known my -400 bets were in deep trouble once Galaxy had money invested, too. Lol
.
.
Losses happen. My Circa account's still healthy enough.
.
The sirens are calling me to bet the Cowboys. My instinct is telling me to pass on the game.
I know what you're thinking, just tell the sirens to go * themselves. But if only you could see them, they are so beautiful and their voices so seductive. How can I resist?

bet365 has been running a TNF promo all season long, so far, with a $50 safety net bet (no sweat) on a TNF SGP. So here's my play tonight.
The odds are +800.
I tried to capture the play all in one screenshot, requiring me to cut off the top part with the relevant odds info.

This is the worst betting weekend I've had in a long time, got smoked on Saturday then right back at getting smoked on Sunday
Hit for 1k Thursday and give $800 + back over the weekend
