"Official" BP gambling thread.

Rough Sunday that starts the slump.

Hit

GB -3
NE -2.5
DET - Pitt U41.5

Miss

Jax - Indy O47.5
MIn - LAC - O53
Jets +14

I have KC -2.5, so I can stop the bleeding at 4-3 and figure out how I want to bet this Monday night game. I shouldn't complain, but after a hot hand at college picks, was looking forward to the same today.
I don’t know how anybody bets NFL and makes money.

Would probably help if I avoided volatile teams like JAX entirely. At least in terms of expecting them to put up points and help hit the over. It's a mistake with that group but 47 was too tempting. Had I just avoided that, and provided KC hits -2.5, I'd be 4-2 and sitting pretty.

A miss here or there can really add up.

I'm going to be majority Totals through the end now with the occasional line bets. Flaky covers especially in the NFL is getting too frequent but you can typically count on average days in most games.
Lost 2 line bets yesterday and won 2.
Won 3 out of 4 on the Totals so that convinces me.

I'll look at the Monday Night game closer in a bit but the way those have been going makes me laugh. Leaning Under 50.5

Taking the Under 50.5 tonight Rams/49ers

There's a ton of injuries for both teams tonight in the Rams/Niners game. I dont know if either Vonn Miller or OBJ will play for the Rams or how much so it's hard to count them. Rams also miss Robert Foster tonight on that Offense. Cupp is really good and about the only Rams player Stafford can consistently throw to. He'll probably throw to a couple Niners players tonight as well. Looks like 49ers might miss Josh Norman tonight and some others but it's all in the Questionable category. I dont see running going on for either team tonight so it could be a shootout or a complete dud. Weather will be perfect or is supposed to be.

OTOH Buckeyes -16.5 vs BGSU tonight in hoops. I took the first half -9 and I'll play what the feel is second half later on.

Depends on the week. If I'm losing, it sure as hell isn't entertainment!

Built by people gambling to make money.... :biggrin2:

You can tell from the numbers that I've posted that I'm not much of a baller when it comes to gambling. My weekly nut has fluctuated from a low of 40 to a high of 150, and I have a firm pack it in and walk away point at being down $500. Conversely, if I hit with one of the McLaren drivers (1200 or 2000 this weekend on $20 bets), that money will go to make me whole for any losses and most of the rest would get pulled out and pocketed. I might raise the weekly nut to two or two-fifty but nothing higher.

So, for the year, I've bet a total of 950 clams or bones or whatever you call them and am in the hole 67.

But it sounds like you are having a lot of fun. That's all that matters. I've had to deal with some serious gambling addicts and I'll take any other type of addict every day and twice on Sunday. People who are gambling to "make money" aren't having any fun. They are miserable.
