I decided to do a big ol stupid bet at the last minute.  Up here you have to pick a team to win by at least 4 or 8, or a "tie" which is a game decided by 3 or less.

 

Chargers tie Buccs

Browns tie Cowboys

Bills beat Raiders by 8

Eagles tie 49ers

Packers beat Falcons by 8

 

$5 bet pays $950.

 

Chargers were in a position to tie it up at the end of the game then rookie QB threw a rookie INT.

 

Cowboys had first and goal to get back within 3 points when an INT ended that for me too.

 

Bass missing the extra point cost me winning by 8.

 

Shows my picks were good, but just wasn't meant to be.

This week was another good one, so I'm just waiting for that hammer to come down. 

 

JAX +3 Loss

BUF LV o53 - Push, thanks a pant load Bass

CAR +3.5 win

MIN +4 win

NO -151 win

CHI +3.5 Big ole Loss and I bought the hook. 

NO DET o51.5 Win

ARI CAR u52.5 NEVER A DOUBT

GB -5 I was ready to punch Mason Crosby 

 

As far as this week goes, a couple of my buddies that live in desert said they've been hearing Bills -8.5 if the Titans test negative tomorrow and can re-open. Do we know who tested positive for Tennessee because I make that line somewhere in the Bills +1 territory unless Tannehill is one of the positives.

My gambling account was $0 on Jan 1st. 
Played poker free rolls for 6 weeks and managed to win $24 in a free roll where I ran hot.   
Ran that up to $150 before football season started all playing cheap poker

Ran that up to $320 after the Bills win Sunday

then ....

Placed a live bet on the Chiefs when they were up 6-0 and had the ball around the pats 23.  All $320 to win $23.  No worries it was about to be 13-0 Chiefs.... then they lost the ball and the game was a cliffhanger for too long.

Won the bet... I'm never doing that again!

I've been treading water. I go 2-for-3 most times but the two are low payout bets. So two wins wind up equaling my initial bets. Oddly my best success is bets on the Bills. Points by halftime, individual player props, head-to-head matchups. Those have been working well for me. #DraftKings

 

Last night:

Total TD's by both teams by halftime - over 2.5: loss

Head-to-head, more passing yards - Mahomes: win

TD passes for game - Mahomes over 1.5: win

Props are still an immature market and there's value if you have a good model.

 

Mostly totals for me so far today:

ARI @ NYJ u47.5

CAR @ ATL o53.5

JAX @ HOU u54.5

LV @ KC u54.5

PHI @ PIT o43.5

PHI @ PIT 1H u22.5

I ran up 50$ into about 800 so far this week, and my original goal was to let it ride on the Bills tonight, but I'm starting to feel a little uneasy.  Where is everyone else at today?

 

If I was still a gambler, I'd jump on the Bills to cover tonight, in large part because the Titans haven't really had the opportunity to practice together in any real capacity.

 

But I'm not a gambler anymore because I sucked at it, and the former gambler says to stay away from a game that has a couple of relatively unprecedented variables which few could even hope to understand. Keep your winngs for a more reliable bet.

I’m going to wager two prop bets tonight 

Diggs and A.J. brown to have 6 catches each at +455

 

Also AJ Brown over 55 receiving yards -110. QB has to throw to someone and we can’t cover a a lot guy or at least haven’t all season.

Wager whatever it'll take to get you to 1K. You'll still be up big from $50 if the Bills somehow lose or don't cover.

AJ Brown over 55 yards seems like a gimme.

Welp I guess the powers to be deleted my $15k bet thread but I just decided I'm going to donate $1k of my winnings to the foundation of today's best Bill. If they don't have one it'll go to Josh's (who will likely be player of the game anyhow)
