I HATE the Chargers and Phillip Rivers.

Does anyone find the Saints or Giants lines weird?

Not really. I do expect them to move, as I personally like the Giants and Saints in both of those games. Tennessee has been solid, and is at home. Washington and the Giants are both garbage, and Washington is at home. So I understand both lines, but am with you on betting. They should move

Would love to cash this one.

Giants & Skins both should lose to go after chase young.
Titans are surprisingly good with Tanny and it wouldn’t shock me if they won SU at home.
On ov 225 Lakers vs Bucks tonight. Expect AD to play and even without Bledsoe bucks should have enough scoring to put up 110+.
Bucks games average 230+ Lakers game average 215, so something has to give.
Looking forward to the game.

Home field and possible rematch with KC in the playoffs.
I like your chances for the raven to make it to the SB and you can hedge out and walk away with profit.

Gobert going 0-4 from the FT line in the last 7 seconds. when I had Utah -6.5 tonight really blows.

[patchgenie]

going with sdsu/cmu over 39.5. this may not pan out.

4 point swing on the giants and 1.5 point swing on the titans.

Shocked to see so much money going to the titans

Especially with Henry out

$20/95 golden state but sold it for $59. Lost on my other 7 nba props so far though

Is anyone else floored by Clemson getting 5.5 in the title game?

It opened at 6 and when the underdog has steam that usually means to bet the other side but that line seems like an absolute gift.

[Ferg1945]

Let's see how these do:

First half bets for Sunday.

Vikings@Saints - Over 24 - Will Lutz?? UGH! lol
Seahawks@Eagles - Under 21.5

Blazers@Heat - Over 113.5
TWolves@Cavaliers - Under (Currently no line)
Pistons@LALakers - Over (Currently no line)

Good Luck!

If you win, you're welcome - If you lose, Don't blame me

EDIT: I won't quit my day job

I got LSU at -5.5 and also the over at 69.5. The game is in New Orleans, so that is almost like a home game. If Clemson does win or cover, I think it will be a high scoring game. I still like the over either way but it’s like a hedge. We will see.

I did hit the moneyline of Grizz over the Suns on Sunday night, that was a nice one after they trounced the Clippers

Hey guys. I don't have a casino near me but they just legalized online sports betting in my state. I have been gambling through other means for the past 20 years or so but now I can wager from the comfort of my bed.

You guys OK if I join this thread as a semi-regular contributor?

So close. From my experience, Those monster lines are tough either way.

Anyone betting NFL? NFC champion futures are such that you can put money on the packers, Vikings or Seahawks, and if any of them win it’s a 20% gain minimum (packers win). If the Seahawks win it’s 133% Vikings win its 200%. I don’t have enough faith over the 49ers for them to beat the Vikings and then the packers or Seahawks so I think it’s an attractive bet.

Also the money lines are interesting, if either Texans, Titans, or Vikings win it would cover all three bets. And it seems decent odds one of the 3 will win.

That card from yesterday was L city. That sweetheart saved you.

For me, playing so much volume was a guaranteed recipe for losing, 100%. If you are betting for entertainment, then it's fine.

If you are looking to profit, player props are the best thing. (which is why they have low limits) Find an expert and ride the wave. You can realize about 8-10% ROI for all the action you get down (for every $1000 wagered you pretty much win $80-$100)

Most of the time it's unders...so hard to watch, but they cash.

My problem is always going overs on player props too. Lost $150 on Gophers bowl taking Bateman's over thinking he could go off for 150-200 easily, sure enough Johnson had like 210 instead

I am no expert, but the guy I follow blindly is a machine. It's very much math and algorithms . It's not about matchups, who's out, etc etc

At first I was like "yuck, I definitely don't like this Lavine under" he was like "that's the point, you're not supposed to like it"

Haha. Ever since then I just gave him my log ins and he is free to play whatever he sees is the advantage. The lines are highly volatile so the back and forth was just too time consuming. It's been a blessing, offsets a lot of my dirty beats like Washington Huskies last night.

I literally NEVER sports gamble, but made three bets today for tomorrow on Bovada (probably should have looked at their cashout methods before going with Bovada ).

San Francisco -3.0 ($10 to win $4.17)
San Francisco -7.0 ($10 to win $9.09)
San Francisco vs Minnesota Over 44.0 (-110) ($10 to win $9.09)

Nothing crazy. Like I said, I never gamble on sports, but I figured this way I will win either way. Either my Vikings will win or San Francisco will win. Its a win-win for me
