Kansas Crimson

Karma I guess.
Win enough last night to cover my deductible for the tree that fell on my car last night.

Took Celts last night 1st quarter at -3.5.
Thought about parlaying full game -12 but didn't last minute.
Glad I did not.

Was a nice start to the day.

Gutter looks to be cleaning up.
And to be honest, since I started around October of last year, I've been mopping the floor with Vegas on the sportsbooks.

When I gambled on betonline.ag back in 09-11 I eventually lost around a thousand dollars.
I know Vegas always wins.
But what is different this go around?

The promos? ( i'm leaning this - I didn't have any of these no sweats / boosts / bonus bets )
Or just lucky this go around? ( maybe this too )
Or ask me again in a year? ( Vegas slow play )

Oh jeez. I’m sorry to hear that. Can be a nightmare to sort.

How we feel about Charlie Baker (NCAA) trying to get books to take prop bets on college sports down?

Good luck Charlie.

If this was actual college sports, I see his angle.
It's not so i'm sorry my man, ain't gonna happen.

Draftkings has a 10 dollar opening day bonus bet.
Royals, Salvy to hit a HR + 750.

What were the odds he would go 0-4 with 2 K? Probably less than +750.

What were the odds the White Sux and Royals would both lose (scored a combined 1 run) on opening day AND combine for 200+ losses this season? I would guess -220?

NC State + 6.5, over 142.5.
Zags + 8.5, under 164.5.

That last second layup by Bama cost me 20 bucks.

Fuck Bama.

Florida Panthers Money Line = W
Edmonton Oilers -1.5 = W
New York Rangers Money Line = W
Colorado Avalanche Money Line = W
Tampa Bay Lightning Money Line = W
Celtics - 6 = W
Milwaukee Bucks - 4.5 = W
Winnipeg Jets Money Line = L (lost 3-2 - were up 1-0, down 2-1, tied 2-2, lost with goal scored against them with 1:45 remaining in the game)

Moral of the story is...... Stop betting gimmicks where "the house" has a huge advantage and just bet individual games?

Come on Wolfpack.

Yesterday.....

Nuggets -4
6ers - money
Clipps - money
Heat - money
Lakers - money
Mavs -2.5
Warriors - money
Kings - money

$2 = $22.42

I've stopped getting DK boosts/bonuses etc., other than a daily SGP Insurance thing (not all that compelling).

Anyone else having a similar experience? Or has that particular gravy train ended for me?

There were some March Madness boosts and several no sweats.
I think I got 3 CBB boosts and 2 CBB no sweats over the last 3 weeks.
Free MLB play. Some MLB boosts.

I'll be shutting it down til football season after the NBA playoffs.
Not even winning money will make me interested in baseball.

Pretty similar. It's just unusual for me not to see 2/day (almost always SGP Insurance and something else).

Daily No Sweat bet during NFL season max 10 dollars is very likely a big reason why i'm 'beating' Vegas.
I don't see how that doesn't swing odds to your favor if you make reasonable bets.
