    It's only a matter of time before there's a sports scandal involving players bribed to throw a game.

     

    Lower level NCAA BBall teams, towards the end of the season with nothing to play for that have seniors starting and seemingly no future after school's done.

     

    Play bad defense and intentionally miss most of your shots. Make sure you lose by more than 9.5 and I'll settle up the $25K in a couple weeks. Deal? But you make sure your teams loses by 10 or more (or  else).

     

    Doesn't seem too far-fetched to me. 

  2. I bet a lot (for me) on KC to try to trick the betting gods since I always lose.

    So of course this game my bet comes through. Doh.

    I did hedge my happiness, but was totally fine losing $500 If Gods were just consistent.

    Then I realized I didn't bet enough. Should have done at least $2,000.

    If I had, we would have won. My bad. 

     

     

  3. I'd prefer (at least some of the times) to line up 4 wide... keep the defense honest covering them.

    I like Josh's chances to get 1 yard vs 6 man front (at most).

    Could even have RB start in his normal spot but come up hard/fast and slam him forward.

    And/or Knox in motion to help out with the push.

    Defense not sure if pass/run. Keep 'em guessing.

    I am a HORRIFIC gambler. I would lose a bet on how many times a broken clock was right in a day. 
     

    So, to take one for the team, I put $250 on 3-team money line parlay for Jags, Steelers, Dolphins. There’s zero chance I win. The payout is $1,374. 
     

    So, in summary, I just paid $250 for the Bills to make the playoffs. (And yes, to hedge the emotional breakdown with a grand to have fun with if the worst happens). 
     

    I didn’t say I was emotionally healthy.

    Doing similar but actually betting less (100) and have Bills as my 3rd leg with the intention to hammer Miami SPREAD with all potential winnings should Pitt and Jax win (would be 400 (+300) winnings if Bills). That way, can double-dip if Bills win within the spread. If pitt or Jax lose, good Bills in playoffs (gladly give the 100 to that). Pitt/Jax win, put the 300 winnings on Mia +2.5.

     

    Outcomes...

    Pit or Jax lose = -100 (but Bills in! Fine with me)

    If Pit/Jax both win...

    Miami wins = +300 (devastated, but a little cash at least)

    Buff wins by 3 or more = 0 (Yes! Bills 2 seed and broke even)

    Buff wins by 1 or 2 points = +600 (Party at my house)

    A few years ago while locked in my house due to covid, I made an attempt to watch every single NFL during the season and although I failed in the past (watched over 180 of 272), I once again began my humble quest. Please follow along as I attempt the impossible

    You have SO much more to go, if this doc is updated. I would quit and try again next year, and watch all games each week, rather than all at once at end of season. Plus, you could self-scout upcoming Bills opponents and maybe even become a pretty good gambler for the next weeks games.

    So there you have it, in this scenario you have Miami (12-5), Baltimore (12-5), Jacksonville (11-6), and Kansas City (11-6) as the division winners and the wildcards going to Indianapolis (11-6), Cleveland (11-6), and Cincinnati (11-6) even with Buffalo (11-6) winning out.  You know.. in case you were wondering.

     

     

    If these 4 teams ended up 11-6, I THINK it first goes to AFC record as the tie breaker, does it not? If so, Bengals would be 6-6 and we would be 7-5. I think everyone assumes Bengals over us if same overall record (due to head-to-head), but not so if multiple teams are involved in the tie breaker. Please correct me if I'm wrong on that. 

     

    I'm guessing the >99% thing has to do with some team(s) tying each other in certain games.
