[BaconGrundleCandy]

Haven't had much time to post this weekend. And couldn't post, believe it or not, I can post other screen shots. I just didn't have much time. Got lucky. Took UG & Va Tech in college. First two bets all year there. Nothing there. Finally had a decent day in the NFL. Out of the hole, I've been bad. Probably got lucky.

The Pats are -1.5 vs. SF...what am I missing here? The line should be AT LEAST -3. This is one of the best lines I've seen this year. Pats by 14.

Edit: you know BB will taken away Kittle. That only leaves Mostert (who is likely out this game) as their biggest offensive threat in this game. Let's hope the D tackles well.

This guy is probably having heart palpitations right now...

Bettor wagers $8.6K to win $8.60 on Clemson

FanDuel says a bettor has placed an $8,600 money-line bet on Clemson to beat Syracuse at -100,000 odds. If the Tigers prevail, the bettor will add $8.60 to his bankroll.

Yeah formally announcing my retirement from gambling. I’m sure I’ll wake up tomorrow and justify one more Sunday of gambling.

Yeah formally announcing my retirement from gambling. I’m sure I’ll wake up tomorrow and justify one more Sunday of gambling.

This season has been incredibly humbling to me. Not that long ago I would set aside a relatively small amount of money for my 'entertainment' purposes for the NFL season. By the end of November I had turned that into enough of a profit to buy the family very generous xmas gifts, plus pay for two vacations the following year. That was not an anomaly or once in a while thing either - this happened annually.

I very happily have a new woman in my life now, and don't spend nearly as much time researching 32 teams and their players. While the resulting drop off in performance is to be expected, I would have never expected it to be so precipitous. Fortunately I have enough restraint to dramatically scale back, but it is very easy to understand where the money comes from to build those enormous, shiny casinos. It comes from people like me that think they are knowledgeable, but can't even win this forum's weekly picks contest. Every week I see one game that looks like a sure thing, and more often than not at minimum it turns out to be a nail biter. (For example: last week Houston at Tennessee, Titans were favored by 3½ - a spread that seemed to be way too low. I won - but only because the game went to overtime.)

This week I like Green Bay (-3 at Houston) to bounce back after being pummelled by Tampa, and the Jets to continue their pitiful quest of futility (vs Bills -10). Other than that I am leaning towards Carolina (+6½ at New Orleans) and Chicago (+6 at Rams), but I'm not sure if the insurance of buying an extra point is worth it.

7 point teaser: Bills (-10.5) over Jets + Chiefs (-7) over Broncos

Congrats on the new girl. I’m not even doing that badly because of the way I’ve been managing my money . Just getting annoyed with certain results. Not having fun

I almost made it to 1 pm without putting in a bet. But I just couldn’t help myself

win or lose. I want these to be my last bets for a while

Once it stops being fun I'll shut it down. The past year or so has been tough, treading water all around. Covid hasn't helped. It's been a while since I was in a zone.
It's a tough hobby. Lots of time researching and capping. It doesn't effect me emotionally anymore haha. I'm numb so I don't get any butterflies or feel like a bull is piercing my stomach in the 4th quarters. It does get tough though. Not easy.

Congrats on the baby. It's all about family. This stuff doesn't matter.
