    Just can't get a good feel for this upcoming Bears-Bucs game. Mayfield having an astonishing low passing record last week. Almost hard believe. Yet the Bucs won the game?

    Trying to figure out how that "non-effort" will affect his play tonight?

    Bears getting some late money. No big surprise.

    Nice job everyone today! 🥳

    Count… I don’t know if you watched KC today but Butker missed a 56 yarder, Jets were offside so he tried again from 51 and missed. Looked like the exact same kick, just a bit wide right on both.
    😡🤬😱

    I need a Buffalo win tonight to complete this parlay.

    This is an example of a boost I’m not going to use. 4 leg single game parlay and odds have to be +400 or longer. No thanks I do a lot better with team moneyline parlays.

    I think this is an interesting illustration of the bookie juice with cash-outs.

    Right now, to let the bet ride, it pays $105.71

    However if placing a new ML bet on the Bills, using the $60.71 cash-out money,
    I punched this in at the DK website, it only returns $91.37

    The difference being around 15% less with the new bet.

    I'm not saying never use cash-outs, and depending on the flow of the game, it could be a wise choice. But frankly to cash-out too often, and make a habit of it, is a recipe for long term bankroll destruction. You're not only up against the initial bookie juice, but handing them another sometimes 15% juice on the cash-out.

    Steve…. that’s like my 6 team parlay yesterday. I had won 5 of the 6 with only San Fran left. If they won I collect $229.50, so the DK cash out offer is $150. Talk about lowballing, I just laughed and thought no I’ll just wait until the niners beat the Raiders and collect the full amount.
    But I have cashed out sometimes when I shouldn’t have and also sometimes when it was a really good decision so I do like the option of receiving an offer.

    I do think the best cash-out options are in the game of football. Perhaps that's because I know the game so well, and also because of the nature of the game. There are situations in football, especially in the 4th quarter, when I'm in a bet and it realistically has no chance to win. I've taken cash-out's of 10%, IE a 90% loss, figuring it is basically impossible to win, so why not just lose 90% instead of 100%. I've never once been wrong on that.

    I basically don't play jackpot type bets. Not saying I never will. But I can fully understand if ya have say 1k in cash-out profit, or let the bet ride to possibly grab another $500, it might be tough to turn down that sure thing 1k.

    In any event, I do agree that a cash-out option is good to have.
