Sports Betting

Is it actually legal now? Where do you bet? Is there a good app?

I never do it. I'm terrible at gambling and loosing money pi$$es me off.

My only advice is to make sure you find a site that doesn't make it all but impossible to get your money back if/when you win. Unless you are cool with using bitcoin and/or other "crypto" currency.

Unfortunately Uncle Oscar is no longer with us. Otherwise, I would have had you call him.

Here in Missouri, sports gambling still isn't legal. But it is in Iowa, and you can even do it on an app.

The app, though, is geofenced; it will know if you're in Missouri, or, say, just across the Iowa border.

So, particularly on Saturdays and Sundays, you'll see lots of cars with Missouri plates pulled over on the side of (for example) I-35, just north of the MO/IA border.

tldr: Jesus fucking Christ, Missouri, this is free money you're turning down.

Used to do it betonline.ag off shore - took a long while to get your checks and you had to wait a good deal of time for them to come. I haven't done online gambling since 2010 so I don't know the scene - but my friend does through fanduel.

Is that run by the state?

I put $50 in through Bovada 3 years ago because it was tournament time and I was home with #3 for a couple of weeks. Finally ran out in the fall. But they have the same process I think as it comes to payouts. Can't really get funds quickly to you if you wanted to. But they had a nice and easy site to use.

There was also a minimum you had to reach to get your payouts.
I did pretty well for a while but then broke my rules of betting - and lost it all either in 2010 or 11.

I like it a lot. No college sports and the app can be a little glitchy but it’s much better than the early days. It’s geofenced so you have to be in Oregon to use. Getting the 1st deposit set up takes a little time but after that it’s easy to deposit and withdrawal funds. Highly recommend

Interesting, may give it a shot. No college games is a bummer tho, thats what I watch and care about most.

Yeah the highest I got was to about $100 or so when the Chiefs won the Super Bowl. Bet heavily on them. I kept my bets pretty low. It was mostly for fun and not for any sort of gains.

I landed a 4 way parlay during the 2009 tournament, betting on the spread, which gave me a good amount to play around with for a while.

I also remember 'slipping' in 2012 and putting a little money in -- which included a big payout for KU at 30/1 if they had beaten Kentucky. I should have hedged, but I couldn't bet against my Hawks in the title game.

The most money I ever stood to win was 1,200 in Vegas in 2011 off a 4 way spread parlay.
Hit the first 3 games in it and the night cap was LSU Oregon.
Bet Oregon I think -3. Wasn't even close. Les Miles was still the coach.
