So late in the NFL season last year I told a couple of my coworkers for Christmas presents I was betting a few bucks on some long shot parlay (think like +300000 odds, essentially betting the outcome of each game) the payout was in the thousands. While far fetched to win, I thought it was like giving someone a scratch off lottery ticket. Probably better odds? And if it won I’d split it with them. 

We decided to run it back for the full season. Each of us betting a couple bucks on a long shot parlay, essentially trying to guess who wins each game. We varied our picks a little so we’re not all guessing the exact line. 

So we will see if we get lucky at any point this season. I think my exact bet was $2 on a +360916 15-leg parlay to win over 7 grand. Do I think any of them will hit? Probably not. But can’t be worse than buying a powerball ticket.

I like the thought

Illinois imposed a tax of .50 PER BET. I have not stopped completely, but drastically less. Almost out of principle. 

50 cents a bet?

It’s crazy. You legit cannot just bet all day. You have to choose a few bets and go bigger.

I used to bet small amounts on like 50 bets on a weekend. That’s $25 wasted that you don’t recoup if you win. It’s just…gone. No fucking way. 

I’m probably done betting after this deposit is washed. Hope it lasts football season.

That’s crazy. I’d be done. The numerous small gambles are the fun ones…..the more time spent on betting site the more you’ll play. They are wiping that away

Made a few last minute bets:

-Chiefs, Eagles, Texans, Ravens, Bills, Packers all make playoffs 

-Saints, Browns, Jets, Titans, Dolphins, Colts, Raiders to all miss playoffs 

- Patriots finish second in division, Steelers finish third in theirs 

-Burrow MVP

Cee Dee going big next game

Wonder how the total over betters feel. It closed at 58.5. 41 points in the first half, 3 in the second half. 

I put $5 and a 50% boost on Bengals money line

Money will be put on the Mets to win tom

lol….my son (with no advice from me) signed up for a FanDuel account and is putting some money on the Mets 

I’m so proud.

Made an anti-Cincinnati parlay.

Dodgers sweep Reds

Lions -13.5

Bengals under 20.5 points 

Putting a small bet on the Guarduans

Guess I’ll just lose every gamble this oist

I’d won some - not much - on the Dodgers sweeping the Reds. I put the winnings randomly on the Padres to win, which they did not. If I had won that I was going to bet on the Rams to win, which they’re losing. 

Account dwindling down…I’m waiting a couple more weeks on the NFL before going in much

Hoping Virginia and Texas lose

Taking PSU plus 17.5 over tOSU. Likely guarantees a Buckeye blowout.

Effing NC State is going to beat Georgia Tech and ruin my 9 game parlay….my first 8 have already won

Crazy

Can someone explain these bets for me? I don’t get the team 1 yard rushing part

You’re betting on those guys to have 5+ rushing yards on their teams first drive. 

So if Judkins had a six yard run on the first drive, he’s good. 

But if Henry has a three yard run, then they throw two incompletions and punt, he’d lose the bet for you. 

Oh…drive #1

Lord

Took the Patriots -7.5 earlier this week and that was before Chase was suspended. Got a little nervous when Burrow was possibly going to be back, but it’s not like he plays defense. 

Watch the bengals score late to lose by 7.
