I got Mia ML in a parlay with Colorado ML and the under in Col/Nebraska 

 

I should've taken the 4.5 points at the time , down to 3.5 right now

I’m on a&m so we are now enemies. Jimbo is like 8-1 all time vs Miami and his qb is really good. Let’s get on the same side!

I thought that now it's anything over $600.00... betting, lottery, ebay, etc. 

My casino ticket says you have to show ID when cashing over $10,000.  The last time I cashed a casino sports bet (2021) they paid up to $3,000, no questions asked.  Over $3,000 you had to go to their cage, which I have no idea what they ask you to do.  The one time I cashed over $3,000 (I bet Bills futures in 2019 because I had seen enough promise in Josh to have confidence the Bills would win 10 or more games factoring in the schedule and free agent additions at OL & WR) I brought a friend & gave him half my tickets to cash at a different window.

 

I bet anonymously at the machines without a card. You can bet as much as you want, although I usually buy a few tickets and break them up.  I have a Caesar's account but haven't used it in a year.  I find if I have to drive 22 miles to the casino, I'll be pretty conservative & only bet games that I feel are high percentage bets.  At the casino I don't like to go on Sunday because it's too crowded, so I won't make a last-minute bet that I haven't thought out as a good bet earlier. 

 

I've cashed thousands on horse races & if it's less than 300/1 odds of the total bet there are no forms to fill out.  So, if I bet a pick 3 that pays $6,000, if I bet combos equal to $20 I don't fill out anything.  It used to be 300/1 on a $2 bet so anything over $600 was tax time on a bet like a trifecta, but they changed that in 2017 to 300/1 of the total bet.  Before the change you could still win thousands without filling out tax forms.  For example, if you put $20 on a daily double that paid $6,000 no tax forms (20 X 300 =6,000, at 300/1 a $20 bet has to pay 6,020 to trigger a tax form :300/1 + original bet

I can't edit my bet on Fanduel!

It's interesting,  when i put in my bet at 1145 it was 4.5 , now line is down to 3. Lot of late $ on Miami it seems

Yea that line has moved. Good luck. 
 

I’m leaning Pitt as well as purdy is coming off injury and he was a very lucky qb with a lot of dropped ints.

Great start for A&M. I hedged my bet after Col and under hit. So I'll at least pull even if Mia loses

In the cage they ask if you wanted it wired or to get you security to go wherever you’re going. They know people watch big winners and rob them. If you’re too drunk they won’t let you leave with the cash.

Would've been 350 without the hedge

Not only did it lose for me, but also killed a 3leg id nursed from Noon-930p lol

Had Colorado ML, Purdue -6.5, then TT +6.5

 

As annoying as it was to me, cant imagine bein TT fan and thinking your about to get the upset!

[Giuseppe Tognarelli]

Hoping to make a cool $750 today.

 

I love responsible betting. I started last year and I am slaying the house by sticking with relatively safe moneyline parlays. VERY little action on the spread because I think that's where people really get in trouble and a lot of luck comes into it.

 

It's VERY easy to make nice side money just by using your football knowledge to make smart picks. You just have to have self control and never bet anything that makes you uncomfortable.

Exactly!!

I know many ppl who bet so wreckless, it's crazy to me. I had a great day yesterday but I'm pissed I didn't take Strickland in UFC at -700. 

 

Week 1 is tough. So unpredictable

yup. i love it. i lost a couple dollars.  i love ufc . Strickland dominated though, Izzy had no answer for the Philly shell. My dumbass was so close to putting just 50 on Strickland at -700 or 750 but i thought Izzy was going to dominate.  Still did great in CFB so no biggie

i think you'll see the Jags get checked down all year when favored.  A playoff team last season, a coach that's won, yet an offensive line that's dead last.
