THE SPORTS BETTING THREAD!

[The Dog]

I took Harden and Irving to both score 35+ points, at +3500, tonight. Probably a dumb bet, but $10 wins $350

I strictly college ball now but I did take that odds boost on DK for Justin Thomas to make the cut at the players.

Well, that's better than my bet, Nets blew 'em out, so bad, they didn't even combine for 35 points

I put $2 on Tiger, and $5 on Koepka and Spieth. Any of those bets would win me about $100.

gotta build my Master's DK lineup..

Something I wish I would have discovered earlier in the season:

UT is almost a guaranteed win in Baseball. In games I'm certain they'll win (that have respectable lines around -350 or less), whatever I would bet, I just divide by 4 and parlay it with MLB hit totals for guys on hitting streaks.

Example:
I would have bet $400 on UT to beat LSU. Instead of winning around $160 profit ($560 total), I made 4x $100 bets and parlayed with MLB hitting streakers (with their own odds around -150 to -220). Each of those yielded a 2-team parlay at odds similar to +110 or so. If 3 of those hit, I'd profit ~$220 instead of $160. BUT if 4 hit, then it gets way better.

If UT loses, I'd have lost the money anyways, so this was a way to basically win free money. As it turned out, 3 of the MLB hitters bets hit, and I ended up with $306 profit.

I am going to do something similar with the CWS. Instead of doing individual bets in the regionals (because UT will likely be -800 or better in every game), I'm doing them "to win the regional". Every individual bet I make for the next 2 days will be parlayed with that. It gives every bet a 40-point boost (-110 bet becomes +130).

I consider UT winning the regional to be automatic, so that's why any of this makes sense to me. Hopefully it does to you.

Almost time to bet the hell out of the Vols 1Q over.

Looks like the lines are up on dk
Fanduel had us -33.5. . .

I think that's the best bet of the week

I'm waiting patiently for them to post it on DK. They have 1Q line at -9.5, but I always take UT over points, and usually make an SGP with it.

I'm looking for Vols O/U for 1Q points. Not overall. They set overall at 14.5. I think we get at least 2 TDs, I don't think Ball State will score. I'm guessing our 1Q total will be set at something like 9.5 or 13.5.

 

[mrmax86]

So, anyone taking UNC -36 here? I did.

Yea, I was thinking our 1st qtr would be 10.5 @ around +100. . . fingers crossed anyway,

Trying to start this CFB season off right

 

[bignewt]

northwestern scares me, like the other two.

[kiddiedoc]

Took a gut feeling on Rory at +1100 before the final round. Worked out.

 

[mrmax86]

Regardless, I'll probably put 6.5 in a SGP so It will be a definite payout.

And then i'll make one with over 13.5 too, which would have +150 or better odds by itself.

Saw that the line just jumped from -33 to -35 today. Something break? Haven't seen anything.
