What app is everyone preferring? I've tried four and they've all annoyed me in one way or another.


Currently on Barstool Sports (which is evidently Hollywood Casino's app).


I'm not married to it. I've tried MGM, FanDuel, Draft Kings and this.

Draftkings is so poorly laid out, despite having the best odds for Golf and in general any futures, I had to switch to FanDuel exclusively.

Using DraftKings right now just for some free bets. Otherwise, I use FanDuel.

Tried MGM and Barstool. Prefer FanDuel to them.

Only FanDuel as of now. It's the only one I've tried.

FanDuel, DraftKings, MGM. MGM is awful, IMO.

Signed up for multiples for the free bets. Will eventually pare it down to one.

Barstool mainly as they are tied to the Hollywood Casino. 

I also have Caesar's and Betjack, but rarely use those, only to line shop.

I'm putting in a bunch of low dollar parlays (with free bet money) on the NFL this weekend that will pay out at least $50. I've got a TD scorer parlay that 100% won't happen, but will pay out $871 on a $5 bet if it does.

I did hit on one of my Natty bets and turned a free bet into $50.

Took the plunge with FanDuel.  2 for 2 last night; over 6.5 'Canes v Jackets, and under 137.5 on Buckeyes game (which won by 1/2 point, lol).



Quick glance at the golf page but did not see where you could bet on Top 10, which I assume is what you are alluding to with T-10.  ?

Correct. You have to scroll over to finishing positions. But they will be removed during the rounds typically. So if you were looking after the first tee time, you wouldnt have seen it is my guess

I put $265 down last night on NBA. Went 3/5.

  1. James O 7.5 REB - EASY (but also -143)
  2. Bryant O 15.5 PTS (got benched almost the entire second half with 11 for Wenyan Gabriel who was playing awesome)
  3. Garland O 7.5 AST - EASY and at +111!
  4. Mobley O 7.5 RED - Should've been easy, but foul trouble limited him to 25 min. Still hit with 8
  5. Mitchell O 27.5 PTS - Ended with 26. 


Overall, successful day/night as I also hit Fulham at +195 (tie no bet) over Chelsea.

I last minute bet on that SGP DraftKings put together for Luka. It was for him to get 35/8/7/1 or something like that. He had 27 points with 5ish minutes left in third quarter and didn’t score again until final minute of regulation. The game went to double overtime and he finally got the 35 points. He had the rebounds, assists, and steal long before that. A lot of people were sweating that one out I’m sure.

Weekend was pretty rough, but salvaged most of it with Kim winning at Waialae, jumped on his horse Sat night.

I withdrew $500 after building up to $1k. Goal is to get back there in time for Super Bowl so I can bet on all the ridiculous props. 

Nice start last night with in game hitting LeBron over 7.5 assists. $75 at -136.


Currently have:

$50 on (Tiafoe, Fritz, Berretini, and Tsitsipas - Foe and Tsitsi already won) at +103. Had Kyrgios as well which took it to +165 but he withdrew and voided his portion.

$50 on Tsitsi to win Aussie Open at + 1600 — this hopefully allows for a nice hedge down the line. 

$30 on Garland O7.5 assists today at +111

$35 on Mitchell O20 pts, Mobley O7.5 Rebounds, and Garland 4+ assists at +123.

Depending on how that Cavs game goes, I’ll dabble in the NFL tonight. But probably won’t watch much, so little betting incentive haha.
