I put $75 on the Pats +3 against KC and $60 on Pats ML. Obviously worked out and i got $150 in return, but would have been nice if i didn't chicken out and put it all on ML. I didn't think the Pats would lose by 3 but was worried about a missed field goal to win the game.

Anyway, hate that I didn't get the Pats at +1 and now it's at -3. Pats historically play their opponent very closely in the Super Bowl so not sure it's enough to put good money on. I love their chances at winning but 3 is a lot in the super bowl

According to Las Vegas Insider 7 casinos have it at 2 1/2 as of 530 pm Wed. I'm surprised the over/under hasn't moved from 57 1/2 since the open. IMO I don't see the Goff and the Rams putting up more than 17 points so I would go with the under.

Yeah that O/U is off the hook, it doesn't seem as outrageous as it really is until you translate it into actual game scores. 34-21 or 31-24 doesn't even get you within sniffing distance, that's extreme.

The AFCCG and last year's super bowl makes me not wanna touch any O/U any time soon. I have no idea what to expect anymore from the Pats in a Super Bowl.

BTW I went and put $500 more on the Pats -2 cause I can. Try and stop me.

Reddit just went down, please tell me I'm not so far behind that something insane happened like Brady and Belichick started just having hate sex on the field or something.

I have 1400 to win 1000 on the pats

Starting to feel really good about my last second "**** it I'm excited I'm betting another $500" move 25 minutes before kickoff.

So...that went well.
In keeping with the base strategy of go big or go home with the man's money when I've had a good year I bet the full roll of found money. All that's left is deciding what manner of misbehavior I will engage in with my ill gotten gains.

I hedged my potential disappointment of putting 150 on Pats -3 and them winning by 2 so I put 180 on Pats ML as well. I'm a happy camper today

Also threw 5 bucks on Edelman winning MVP and I won 100 (+2000 odds)

I did, however, suspiciously lose the national anthem bet. I put a timer on and she clearly went over 1:55, on my clock it was 1:58. I open up my account and it shows I lost with no reason other than "From moment she sings first word until she completes saying Brave for the first time. Book Manager's decision is final" being the criteria. That's a bunch of crap.

And cashed my 20 dollar future to win 120 which I made before the season

Super Bowl gambler reportedly turns $250 into $100K after making wild bet on total points Rams would score

2-0 ATS this week and 2-0 SU. So 6-3-1 ATS in the playoffs not to shabby....and for the big one!

Reality this is different because it has a built in adjuster for the home team and away team, it gives the home team 1.5 points and deducts 1.5 from the away team. I didnt feel like adjusting the formula so I put it out as is. But in reality it is predicting because of the neutral site.

Pats: 27.89
Rams: 23.14

The calculator did well to say the least this post season 7-2-1 ATS. Maybe this will finally he the offseason I get the app developed to put on the two stores.

Either way congrats to those that won.

Damn I was hoping no one would find out

Just want to say that as a non-gambler (other than blackjack in Monte Carlo), I have really enjoyed this thread. I'm happy to hear about you guys winning and all of the details that go into it!

 

[maust]

So going over the tally from the year I have to say it was a fairly good one. Starting with an initial $1500 (safely re-banked for next season) the net winnings including playoffs were $11,750. The biggest single chunk being the $3050 Super Bowl return that came courtesy of rolling the full post Christmas and playoff winnings on the Pats at -1. There's no money quite like found money. What are the rest of you miscreants doing with your winnings?

Congrats man you and the mick did really well!

I don't think I lost more than 5 bets, maybe 6...but I just basically bounced between $300, $500 and $1k bets. I've bloviated enough about how disciplined I try to be when it comes to gambling but I do get pangs of nonsensical guilt when I think about betting more than $1k even if I could budget for it.

I told myself I should hit the mustang ranch for an hour with a couple of girls but I'm probably just going to put my money towards moving to another country, hopefully by June/July.
