Not going to get it but live hedged when I saw that was the last leg I needed.

Now I just need Najee either under 47 or over 49.

JFish needed that Bass kick.
Parlays can be the worst.

I needed that Bass MISS. All good on my end.

Good result tonight and I’ll be at an all-time high on the $100 I put in a few months back.

Specifically, I need Eagles by 3.5 and game U54.5.

If someone forced me to bet a 4 team parlay I would tease up every dog.
Texans +15
Packers +16
Buccs +12
Chiefs +8.5
You guys know better than me, would that pay more than 2-1?

The dogs are under valued. All could win.

A 6-point teaser shows up for me as +260.

6.5 would be +230, 7 would be +200 (2-1) and 13 would be -140.

What I like to do is effectively play teasers, but do them as alternate-line spread bet parlays, so that they're eligible for parlay boosts that don't attach to teasers.

You definitely could do this.
If I was exploring something like this, i'd find the dogs I kinda liked and would keep those values closer to Vegas -- so maybe Chiefs and Bucs in this circumstance.

One of the things I like about doing it with alt lines instead of a teaser. You can get the spreads to your comfort zone.

Draftkings is very wise and I can easily see how it could just captivate people.
It has constant deals, which are very minor, but keep the user looking back daily to see what they might offer next.

For me, I did very well in 2009-2010 to the point where I had taken 100 bucks to over 1000 but because it was an offshore book, it took forever to get money out. It took six weeks but I got 100 dollars out -- and then lost the rest of my money.

But what is different this time around:
A. User experience is so freaking smooth on Draftkings. It's masterful.
B. You can get your money out in less than 24 hours.
C. All the damn deals - even if they're sucker deals ( getting you to bet parlays ) - but I didn't have Daily No Sweats in 09-10 - and that keeps me betting a dollar or two consistently.

I have to force-close DK way too much. And I wish there was a function to save bets (beyond the one that will save if you just don’t complete it). With the state-line nonsense, and me living on the MO side, I’d love to be able to populate all of the day’s bets and then press a button once I’m on the right side of the line.

I’ve only had to force close it once so far. It’s a gorgeous app from a UI/UX stand point.

And that’s what you get for living in Missouri.

I suspect the force-close issue is related to the geolocation issue, also.

Todays degenerate bets:

Tenn ML, Purdue ML, Bama ML, Kansas ML.
KU - 2.5, Over 132.5, Hunter 10+ reb.

Don't let me down KU.

Always nice to wake up to having won a parlay you gave up on (in this case, one that required the Suns to win, and they were down 12 going into the 4th quarter out West).

[pdub]

I avoid putting any late games into my parlays no matter how enticing to prevent any need to follow.

Draftkings just moved KC to - 3.
I don't think it'll move to 3.5.

Seems kinda lame that a SGP (with Bucks and Giannis-specific legs) is not voided altogether by Giannis being inactive. His specific leg is voided of course, but then I’m playing a jacked-up game in terms of spread and other things.

They were down 22 with 8 minutes left in the game.

Example # 9,652,193 of Gutter getting Guttered....

Last night had a 6 team teaser.

TWolves -6.5 (TWolves won by 7) W
Hawks +1 (Hawks won by 2) W
UConn -1 (UConn won by 14) W
Kentucky -1.5 (UK won by 13) W
Maryland +9.5 (Maryland lost by 3) W
Heat +3 (Heat lost by 24 to the Raptors) L

[TDub]

thats not getting guttered, that's just gambling.

It's why parlays and teasers pay well and why the house always wins.
