Took Duke +2.5 and Michigan -28

I’m taking the cats +13.5 tonight and that’s all

NFL I’m taking the Bengals +2.5

Cats -11.

 

[krazykats]

So I added a live bet on PSU once they were up 7-6 just before the half. To win they were -285, so half drunk I typed in $285 and confirm before realizing is was to win $285 by wagering $812

Kind of got sick for a minute and then PSU proceeded to crush!

After playing DFS NBA the last couple years and really liking it, I'm trying my hand at traditional gambol for the first time this yr.

Last night:
UF -13.5
Alabama St +62 (vs Auburn)

1-1 last night. Was happy to pay for the streak to end.

Today:
Jax -3 (Fournette went out in the 1st half. Will have to get lucky to pick this one up.)
Carolina -3.

Any tips for a rookie from the degenerates are welcomed.

I GAMBOL on DraftKings because I am actually good at fantasy sports so here you go:

NFL Week 2 Lineup

Phillip Rivers $6700
James Conner $6700
Lamar Miller $5400
Keenan Allen $7800
Kenny Golladay $4800
Emanuel Sanders $6200
Melvin Gordon $7400
Luke Stocker $2500
Jets D $2500

Obviously all in on the Chargers against the Bills. I think the Bills are going to make a run at 0-16 this year. Chargers were the best team on the road last year so fire them up. I like James Conner a lot I also think the Chiefs Steelers game should be a fantasy bonanza so any players from that game would be good picks as well. The Titans didn’t look too good last week and they go to a Houston team in its home opener trying to get back on track, Miller got a ton of work and $5400 for a RB at home who will touch the ball 20-25 times is good value. Watson and Hopkins are good picks for Houston too. I also grabbed Luke Stocker for a cheap TE from Tennessee with Delanie Walker out for the year. Golladay was the lone bright spot for the Lions Monday and they go to San Francisco for a potential shootout game. I like Emanuel Sanders connection with Keenum, very similar player to Theilen who Keenum made a star in Minnesota last year. Pricing has not caught up yet so plug him in till it does. Jets D against a bad Miami team is a good value for D.

I entered the following:

$5 contest with $150,000 in payout and a $5000 top prize

$10 double up where top 45% double their money

$5/5man contest with my friends that pays 1st and 2nd.

Hopefully this type of gambling talk is welcome here!!

Bengals two times!

 

[catsfanbgky]

Bad week 1 going 1-3. Down $230.

NFL tonight Bengals / Ravens under 45.


By the way, how much do people wager ??? I lay a straight $100 on every bet. However, sometimes if i see a line i really, really, like, I will double down. I try not to do that often, stay consistent with your bets on every game.

 

[krazykats]

Depends. I bet $25, $50, $100, $200 and depending how far up or down I may go all in to either get to 0 or double up.

If I’m drunk it’s just about whatever really and hopefully I can afford it when I wake up.

Last week I meant to lay 285 to win 100 on PSU when the game was 7-6 in the 2nd quarter. Turns out I bet to win $285 and would have lost $812 had they not blown up from there.

 

[catsfanbgky]

Yes, drunk bet chasing can and often does turn catastrophic. been there, done that.

Drunk catsfanbgky " I have lost 5 straight, no way I lose 9 in a row." Decides to chase my losses and bet four more games, lose all 4.

I quit that **** several years ago, now it is bet select few games. No more betting 4 11am kickoff games, 5 2:30 kickoff games, followed by several 7pm kickoff games, then continue drunk betting the 9-10 pm games ,,, just to have action. Have bet 20-25 games on any given saturday, which looking back was a recipe for disaster. Hell hitting 50%, you still take a beating.

 

[krazykats]

I don’t chase, simply bet lines as I go depending how my day goes. Always pick 3 on Saturday and go from there.

2 on sunday(could be Thursday/mobday) and if I’m up I go for whatever but if my main picks are losing I realize my feel is off.

 

[krazykats]

Taking the colts and dolphins

I like ATL, HOU and LAC too but I don’t need that much action.

Rivals search function sucks; this is the newest gamble thread I could find. The Derrick Lewis fight knockout props have me intrigued. MMA heavyweights rarely go to decision.

I had Lewis 2nd round +800. What's the thoughts from fight fans?
