***Dingleberry Casino*** Week 1 Betting Thread

[Dingleberry]

Got a question re the parlays. In any shop I've gambled in, a push in a parlay is a push. For example, if I did a 6 game parlay and won 5 and tied one, it would pay out as a 5 game parlay win and not a loss. Now, it's your sports book so you get to make the rules, but that is a little unusual.

It is definitely the casino's call, and you are right, most allow an overall push for this scenario.

I decided to go with "a push is a loss" on teasers and parlays mainly because everything else in this game favors the bettors. Most of the O/U bets I provide would normally be (-110 or -120) rather than the (+100) I do. Even straight game bets wouldn't be paid at (+100) like I do. Even some of the teaser odds were rounded to (+200) or (+300).

None of these were done because I am a nice guy! It's all about the math and my sanity. Calculating bank rolls based on hundreds of bets each week is time consuming. Having +100 and other round payoffs makes it bearable. If I had to do the calculations for +110 and +120 for all these bets, I would quit. Or I would ask Ian for a raise.

Last year, we had a 2 bet, 7 point teaser that paid (-120) I think. I got rid of it this year because it created weird payoffs that were not round numbers. Screw that!

So that is the roundabout reason for pushes killing parlays and teasers. A small attempt to even the odds a little bit in favor of the house.

I bet the same teaser. Looking good at the half!

Well, oops.

Two new betting options have been added to the first post of the thread. I have been exploring different options that exist in real world betting. There have been requests in the past for quarter/half lines as well as in game prop parlays. It is too much work to provide odds upon request for your random props and parlays. It is also way too much work to provide lines (and track them) for quarters and halves for all of the games.

However, I found that very few player prop bets were made on non-Patriot games last year. This is why the player O/U options are only from Pats games this year. So why not provide a handful of same game parlays and quarter lines for the Pats games?

I will come up with several same game prop bets for the Patriots' game each week. They will operate under parlay rules. If all conditions of the parlay hit, you win. Any push is a loss. Like any Chinese restaurant menu...NO SUBSTITUTIONS PLEASE. I will not calculate odds for any special requested parlays. If you do decide to bet one of these, please do not type out the entire parlay. "SGP #2 (+500) $2k" would be perfect.

I will also provide lines and O/U for all 4 quarters and each half. Feel free to bet these as well.

Quarter bets, Half bets, and Same Game Parlays CANNOT be used on any other teaser or parlay bets.

Please let me know if these betting options are worth providing each week. Enjoy.

It's cool and "nice to have" but I'm not sure about adding more to your plate. Risks turning the whole thing into a job and burning you out.

 

[varjao]

got Josh Allen over 275 passing yards yesterday and those 2 bombs saved me

 

[1960Pats]

Just one bet. Please give me 155K on over 67.5 receiving yards for Tyreek Hill. I've got a feeling.

 

[Dingleberry]

6 point teaser (+100) $5k
- Rams (+8.5)
- Rams/Bills UNDER 58.5

6 point teaser (+300) $5k
- Colts (-2.0)
- Ravens (-1.0)
- Broncos (E)
- Titans (+0.5)

6 point teaser (+100) $10k
- Ravens (-1.0)
- 49ers (-1.0)

Chiefs (-4.0) $10k

SGP #3 (+600) $1k

Rhamondre OVER 48.5 rush yds $2k

Mac OVER 9.5 rush yds $2k

 

[mgcolby]

The Dingleberry swinging to new heights!

 

[borisman]

LA Rams (+2.5) 3K

6-PT TEASER: 2K
LAR +2.5 (+8.5)
MIN +2 (+8)

Sunday bets:

Saints (-5’) 5K
Steelers (+6’) 5K
Cards (+4) 5K
Titans (-5’) 5K
Cowboys (+1’) 5K

 

[Dingleberry]

Dolphins $10,000 to win by 7-12 +500
Seahawks $4000 +6 +200
Mac over .5 INT $4000 +100
Eagles $5000 -4 +150

The bet on the Seahawks lists the line (+6) but also the money line odds (+200). Just need to clarify if you are betting Seattle +6.0 or to win outright.

The Eagles bet also lists both, but the +150 is for Detroit to win. I assume you want Eagles (-4.0) which would be a standard +100 bet.

I will assume the other bet is Seattle (+6.0) but let me know if it should be to win at +200.

 

[sb1]

Bears-Giants Under 41.5 for $20k
Pats-Dolphins Under 46.5 for $10k
Giants-Titans Under 43.5 for $10k

Happy opening day! With less than 4 hours to go before 1:00 kickoffs, just sending a reminder that the following folks have not placed any bets yet.

@venecol @BaconGrundleCandy @irishfanatic @neuronet @fightingirish595


A reminder for everyone. Many may be looking to add bets to the late games today. I don't recommend chasing 1:00 losses with desperate late bets, but sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

PLEASE quote your previous betting post when making new bets and/or changing existing bets. DO NOT just edit your post. I record your bets throughout the week and do not go back to check posts I have already read. So if you edit, I will not see it. Also, edits show a timestamp. And edits made after kickoffs could nullify any bets. Thank you everyone. Enjoy football again! Finally.

On a side note...I allow myself $1000 to wager in the real world each season. My one bet this week:

3 way Money Line teaser to win outright: Ravens, Colts, Titans (+143). Bet $150 to win $265.

A bet for the Jets, Giants, and Texans to lose essentially. Week 1 can be weird, but let's see if I am $265 richer today!

 

[Dingleberry]

I’ll start with 10k on…

Jags +3

Just posted my message above before seeing your bets. All set. Thanks.
