Roll call for those betting over 6.5 wins

Bologna! I’m in AC right now, I went to the sportsbook to drop $250. To take the over for $100 you only win $45. To all the people saying they bet that I call bologna! 

Yeah man that's why I drove down there a few weeks back to get in before it moved like that. I learned during last season some of these lines that look juicy disappear real quick.

 

If you go to the Draftkings sportsbook in the Resorts Casino, you can still get over 6.5 wins at -134, meaning you lay $134 to win $100 is the ratio you're getting. You also can bet the Bills to make the playoffs at +325 (you lay $100 to win $325) or Ed Oliver to win DROY at +1200.

betting the over/under wins in vegas isnt my thing because its just not worth it....put $500 down and only double your money? I could put $500 in stock/investment right now and do better by January than by betting that on the Bills.

 

But yes, I am certainly taking the over on that win total...its laughable really. 

 

Are you saying that you could invest that in the market and return 100% by January? 

 

If you are saying that the expected return of most sports bets is around -5% and you can do better than that, I agree.

What is the deal with sports gambling these days?

 

I understand states beyond NV and NJ can and are now passing laws to legalize it in casinos, but as far as I know, online is still not legal anywhere due to the same banking regs that killed online poker way back.  Is that right?  Is it changing anytime soon?

 

To me the offshore stuff is like going to a whorehouse without a condom.

Yes, still supposedly illegal, but Mrs Smith from down the street is not playing in $100 sit and go, so everyone just kinda ignores it. 

 

And to your last comment, more like driving to DC to get legal weed and smoking it in VA

Yeah. It's technically illegal, but I've never heard of an individual citizen being arrested for a few bucks on an online account. It's tough to crack down on the sites because they're out of U.S. jurisdiction. Really, there are so many crimes with actual victims occurring online; it's not a priority nor should it be IMO.

Just drove all the way to Rhode Island to Twin Rivers Casino. Believe it or not they don't offer bets on wins. So I put money on the Bills to win the AFC East. 12-1 odds.

Same odds I got on Bovada. I want the 6.5 to drop to -130 before I bet that. it's currently -150.

PM me where u placed your bet. I was going to go through Bet.us but not sure if they on the up and up

 

If you know anyone that lives in New Jersey they have legal sports betting via a phone app or in person at casinos.

If they don't win more than 6 games McBeane should be fired.

 

Im putting down $100. I just can't see them being as bad as last year even with a most likely mediocre offense. 

 

 

there can be legit reasons ahead that make then win less than 7 games....

goes well with the cartoon of Bills QBs going over Niagara Falls for that early Thursday game (??) last year

Sure. Barring significant injuries. Less than 9 wins is disappointing IMO.

 

my jadedeness won't let me dream of 9, but it would be most enjoyed and savoured...  :D

I believe it. Seems like a weird thing to lie about.

Over/under wins is such a basic sports bet I was shocked they didn't offer it. It was Derby weekend and they were swamped. It's possible the youngsters manning the windows might not have known where to look up that bet.

How about $7,000 on the Bills over 6.5 wins? I'm sure you'll enjoy what's at 16:05.

 

 

 

 

So, $5000 in US dollars ? ?

 

Saw bits of the video and its pretty good.

I’ve got $100 bet with my friend, but heading to Vegas later this month and plan on putting $500 down on the over for 6.5 win total.

 

I am making 2 more bets too while there.  

$100 Buffalo to win AFC Championship

$100 Buffalo to win Super Bowl.

 

Why Super Bowl you ask...it’s not that I’m certain they will get there, it’s that I know I’m already up $600 from my 2 over bets (which is a lock in my mind), so I’m free rolling and that $200 is house money baby!  

 

BOOM!!!! Go Bills!!!!!

 

So you didnt bet any money that Jones wont be on the day 1 roster ?

No I bet $7,000 USD, which is roughly $9,300 in Canadian dollars. Thanks for the comments buddy!

Lol no.

 

Are you going to wager on every offseason thought, discussion, or opinion you have?

 

I would rather see Zay excel than fail and cheer him on, so not going wager against him or bet on his failure.

Really?  You have a pretty low barometer.

It gets high marks for creative thread cross referencing and for raising an interesting question: where exactly would one go to bet on Jones not being on the roster?  And, of course, what kind of odds could one get?  And finally, how much would Alpha be willing to put down on it? 

 

By they way, I still think there is a good chance you're correct.

7 wins is going to be tough.  I see wins against the dolphins 2, one Jets, Redskins and Bengals at home.  these are the games we should win, of course, we wont win all of them but we will also probably beat a team we shouldnt.

 

The guy in the video was very confident, but my joy was subdued by the realization that he was only confident that it’d be 7 or more wins.  Oh well, it was still a good sign that he thinks the Bills are on the upswing.

Ha fair enough, I can accept that logic ha.  

 

I wont bet on it though, don’t want to root against Zay, and if I bet on it then I would ha.  So no betting for me although I did put some nice money down on the over 6.5 wins and $100 on Bills AFCC win and SB win :)

 

Hopefully Zay is the Super Bowl MVP and pays me $16,000 between the AFCC and SB bets alone.  He will make my Christmas card list and send a 20% tip if so haha

it's all on allen. if he's the guy 7 wins is a lock. that's about average in the nfl.  if we're healthy and he's good we should be talking about 10 wins...like mayfield type year from last year. but that' s the big question.

I should have pulled the trigger when this thread started. Odds slowly getting changing making this bet less attractive. $50 pays $76 right now on my app. (playnow)  It was $50 Pays $91 when this started.

Shaw66: I have been reading your post-game posts for many years and I have enjoyed them a lot. Long-time reader on this forum, but first time poster. I am curious to know your opinion about the bet; how does over 6.5 wins look to you? What's your assessment of the team for 2019?

You are right. The odds are changing more and more. FanDuel moved from -125 to -165 following my bet, whereas DraftKings moved from -134 to -165 after my three wagers. Not sure if they accept US players, but Bet365 has -130, which is great. I already bet the max so I can't put more with them.

It was 7 in Vegas and -115 for the over so I skipped it. I instead put my money on the Bills making the playoffs at +500 (which I love as a bet). I also made a small bet on the Bills to win the Super Bowl at +10000. I made those bets on Bovada. I actually am thinking of dropping another $100 on the playoff bet. Those feel like GREAT odds to me.

I agree. A lot of Allen's success is going to be on the O Line and as far as i am concnern3d an unproven WR/TE corps.  Beasley is nice and all but hardly an awe-inspiring slot wr.  The O Line is essentially all new, even Dawkins will be starting next to a new G and probably an unknown TE.  How long wil lit take them to get together as a unit.  Could be a rough start to the season, the offense is 70% new.

He was saying 7 is a sure thing, not that 7 was the ceiling.
