Any of you degenerates messing with baseball, lately? I can’t get into football for another couple of weeks.

I'll pick it back up in the playoffs but I haven't messed w it too much this year.

Eagles +8.5 and raiders +7.5 55 to win 50

Hell yeah

 

[supafly]

Hell yeah

Nice. Good calls on both.

 

[supafly]

It looks like every game went under, aside for the OAK/ARZ one. I could be wrong, as I’m only casually paying attention.

 

[fightingirish595]

Pats +8.5 and lions +8.5 55 to win 50

Pats down 8-0

Hell no. As much of a degenerate as I can be, even I only fall just so low
(in the regular season anyway)

It’s definitely a bit tedious, with so many different time slots and games throughout the day. Plus, if you happen to miss even a single day, you can quickly lose touch with the flow of a streak, or become ignorant to how much a certain reliever threw the night before, etc. I don’t blame you in the slightest for waiting until October. There are going to be tons of value opportunities with underdogs whom you rarely get to wager on, at least in certain games.

Cleveland today (and Thursday) at NY is a great example. Hot team with a good record on the road +143 (Thursday)? Sign me up.

Question to @fightingirish595 @supafly @maust1013 @Joker @fnordcircle @BaconGrundleCandy @XLIX @mgcolby and everyone else involved in this epic thread:

Would you prefer to cash out (and start a new gambling thread for the 2019 season), or let it ride (and just let this thread continue in perpetuity)?

fightingirish has posted some seriously useful info in this thread that would be mostly lost if you did that. At least right now I can search to find out what he's said about stuff.

 

[fightingirish595]

Pats +8.5 and lions +8.5 55 to win 50

Pats down 8-0

Another one in the win column. That’s 5 outta 6 and +195.

ROI 59 percent! (Small sample though

 

[fightingirish595]

Chargers +8.5 and 49ers +7 55 to win 50

Lol. @fightingirish595 has me betting on preseason football. Thought there was some value in the JG, Beathard, Mullins trio at QB. Turns out I may have just been lucky due to the Drew Lock injury.

FanDuel sportsbook is up and running in NJ and PA, so they offered free bonuses to suckers like myself who may be inclined to deposit some money, and that’s the only reason I’m messing with the fake games. The beisbol is still my fave.

Also, FanDuel was glitchy on Sunday. Imagine that happening during real contests! Yikes. I would never make an actual deposit with this outfit.

I did end up hitting that teaser... but I also put in a wager on Denver to try and hit middle ground and make 100 bucks. Looked good at half. Lost 5 on this endeavor.

Those 3 qbs are all kind of capable. Are you in jersey or PA?

I’m in enemy territory in Western Pennsylvania.

Words of Wisdom: You're not a true gambling degenerate until you find yourself still up at 4:00 at night on a Saturday (or, at that point, I guess it's Sunday morning) listening to the internet broadcast of Hawaii Warriors football on your cell phone because that was the last game of the day and it is your make-or-break moment of your weekend trying to recover all the money you lost earlier in the day. Fortunately, we should not have to stay up quite so late this particular weekend to get the Hawaii final. Anyway, the picks...

Florida -7
AZ/Hawaii O73

There is a degenerate gambler at CBS Sportsline who just posted regular season week 1 picks.
He recommends taking the Steelers witb 6 points.

Is that CBS Sportsline’s official prediction or just some rando giving his opinion? I don’t blame them for taking the safer choice with the +6, but it’s awfully early to be getting paid for this kind of BS content. Any one of us could write up reasons for both giving and taking the points in that game. Talk about a nice gig.

It's an article by Cody Benjamin who picked 5 games-
Pitt +6 vs Pats
KC -4 at Jax
NYG +7 at Dal
Phil -8.5 home vs Wash
Cle -5.5 home vs Tenn

I like the Falcons low stock and think Matt Ryan at 25:1 for MVP is one of the best bets out there. The Falcons are a really up and down team that could potentially be good, and I’m just looking at a QB who, in my opinion, has established himself as a consistent MVP candidate (his numbers at least).
