OT-ish: The gambling thread


I don’t like betting baseball too much so I’m only doing Nats ML to win 100
Mine is about the same. Low risk, high reward. I can live with seeing 35 bucks taken out of my account. I’m just not sure that we’re going to win it. Lol.

meant to say to win 50. And yeah I have no idea either. Cole May shut them out. Hopefully he’s not sharp like last time out vs yanks
 
I am just happy that the Yanks are out.....nothing else matters to me. Watching NBA tonight!
 
First non winning week for the picker it finished at 500, which with the juice we all know is a losing week monetarily.

Going with the push from my previous post. Need to account for those accordingly.

This Week:

7-7 ATS
7-7 SU

The Season:

25-17-1 ATS
24-19 SU

Ok adding this with 0ne line missing. I will update it once the line is out for the Seahawks-Falcons game.

Couple of interesting picks:

Giants over the Lions
Broncos and Colts as a tie :confused:
Jets over Jags

And obviously the Chiefs line doesn't accomodate for the Mahomes loss.

But it picks what it picks.

CFB RSW WIN TOTALS. EVERYTHING IS TO WIN 1 UNIT

My general strategy for win totals is to look for teams with 15+ returning starters, a returning QB, and a win total close to last years amount of wins and take the over. Even better if the win total is lower than last years total RSW. For unders, I look for about 11 returning starters or less and a new QB. I also look at the schedule. I do not just blindly bet teams that fit what I am looking for. SO this pretty much sums up my picks.
LSU Over 9 (-105)

I really wish I was getting 8.5, but LSU is loaded. Im penciling in Alabama as a loss. I really see 11-1 potential here. I think they will be really good. I am probably way to confident they are going to beat Texas. But they get Auburn, Florida, and A+M at home.
Alabama Over 11 (-145)

I cashed on this same bet last year. Atleast 11 RSW wins every season since 2011. That streak should continue. Ride the streak. If they win 11 you push
Iowa State Over 8 (-110)

I would never predict them to go 12-0. I do think every game on the schedule is winnable though. Very good football team. Won in Norman 2 years go.
Mich St Over 7.5 (-180) or 8 (-115)

I have not locked this yet. Talented enough to go 12-0, but could never predict that as they go to Michigan and Ohio State. But all the games are winnable on paper. Even if they lost to Michigan and OSU, they would have to lose 3 more games. Western Mich and Arizona state are not exactly pushovers, but those are home games and Mich St should expect to win its first 3 games. and be Atleast 4-1 when they go to the shoe, but these things never go as planned
Va tech Over 8 (-145)

They will not lose to Old dominion again, and they will not lose to Rhode Island or Furman. That is 3 wins right there. Road games against Virginia, ND, and the U which are 3 solid teams. If they were to lose all 3, they would need to go 6-0 against the rest of their schedule, which looks pretty soft. (I personally feel they are better than Virginia and Miami)
Minnesota Over 7.5 (-125)

Fleck has to go if this team does not improve and win 8 games. No power 5 OOC games. They get Penn state, Nebraksa, and Wisconsin at home(Can they nab two wins here?). They have to take care of Illinois and Rutgers on the road.
Miss st Under 8 (-120)

They look like the 5th best team in the conference in my opinion As they lost a lot of players. They host Bama and LSU and they are not beating either of those teams. They play @auburn and @A+M, 2 more teams that feel are superior. Can the vols or Rebels take them down? I am going to take my chances.
Wisconsin Under 8.5 (-130)

Have to play Ohio state, Michigan, and Michigan State for there cross division games. Thats Killer! Lost 4 Olinemen. Minnesota, Iowa, Northwestern, and Nebraska figure to be tough games. I really like this number.
West Virginia Under 5 (-115)

I would probably lay off this at 4.5 but 5 gets a push. Early schedule is absolutely brutal. Looks like a 2-5 start to me. Lost a ton, new coach. We will see
Bonus

FIU Over 8

App St over 9





I can lock up miss state and Minny this week. I’m guaranteed atleast a push on Miss state and I hit Minny over as long as they don’t lose out.

I feel good about LSU over 9. A push there would be dissappointing.

Bama a bit murky right now. I could see them losing to auburn so a victory against LSU is important. I’d settle for a push on that one.

Michigan state can only lose one more. I’m thinking this will probably be a loser. For the second year in a row they have Been incredibly disappointing.

Gained a little bit of hope on Wisconsin this week but even if they lose to Ohio state and Iowa they would probably have to lose another game they are favored in. Probably a loser

West Virginia isn’t very good. Better than I thought they’d be. Should get atleast a push. Hopefully a win

Iowa state is hitting their stride. 3-2 finish would get me a push. 4-1 is realistic

va tech. They aren’t very good. 5-2. Who knows. They way they look I’d settle for a push.
 
I need the Rangers, Bruins and Sharks to win tonight and I will go to sleep smiling
 
I was tempted on the under tonight but it moved to 7 from 7.5
 
Threw a 10 dollar bet on doncic to win mvp. 50-1. Not a bad start to the year

After hitting on the Nationals team total over 3 and the Tampa Bay Lightening on the moneyline last night, I gave a little back trying to get cute with the Portland Trailblazers.

These cross-sport days are difficult enough without adding the NBA to it. I’m pretty sure that every bad gambling story I’ve ever heard involves west coast basketball in some form.
 
Took the under on the NFL game tonight, but bought it up a bit to 43.5 (-130).

I thought that looked like decent value as it’s currently sitting at 41.5.
 
Anaheim Ducks..tonight....my lock of the week...+120

Outside of the ones involving a marriage license or a weather forecast you may be onto something
 
ive got redskins plus 17 and Smu minus 13.5 both to win 50.

striaght bets. Not an if bet
 
Took a flyer on Washington live ml 13 to win 100. Moving the ball well. Love teams off a shutout. Hoping for atleast a cover
 
I’m on the Astros again tonight, but we’ll see. I’ve somehow escaped a loss through the first 3 games, so I’m probably due.

Don’t have much going for football yet, and that is concerning. I usually have some type of feeling this deep into the week.
 
Praying the under hits the Notre dame game
