I need to get off my duff (no offense intended) and get up to an OXXO so I can load up my PokerStars account to get back to sportsbetting.

It's legal in Mexico, but the hoops you have to jump through to get the account funded are crazy. (You have to purchase a "gift card" with cash at a convenience store, then use the code from that to add to a Neteller account, which can then be used to fund a PokerStars account. Fortunately if you win money, you can withdraw to Neteller and getting THAT into a US bank isn't too big of a deal.

lost $1 on MD --Purdue...but got the minor emotional hedge

So intrigued by the 3 leg parlay insurance on the superbowl. Basically if you get 2 or 3 they will refund the bet. Like things with limited downside. So any thoughts on this one from the crowd? Lots of options on the board.

Feel like opening kickoff is a touchback and no fake punt/fake field goal are pretty safe legs. Maybe go what will happen first for TB or KC (score points or punt).

Take the result you feel on team and O/U and them bump it with a 50/50 bet.

There are location requirements. So the app has to know I am physically in VA to make a bet. From the desktop they make you install a browser addin. I went app only.

As you can see I am low stakes and pretty focused on free bets, promotions and such. Max bet for me is $1 unless it is tied to a promotion.

Made a bunch of $1 props for tomorrow
No special teams or defensive scores
No successful onside kicks
No scoreagami
Chiefs to punt
Tampa to punt
First punt a fair catch
Fist kickoff a touchback
No qb to throw 6 tds
Last play a kneel

Also have a $2 first td to Evans ($2 credit if I lose the bet)

And have some promo bet on $1 for KC to win.

I am a betting man, and I'd wager that this story is utter bullshit.

Would any book - even one that would have a bet on a streaker - take $50,000 on a prop like that?

No. Most of the "crazy" prop bets online (color of the Gatorade, etc.) are capped at around $100 at the most and usually less than that.

Hell, the max bet in most Vegas casinos on the GAME is $50,000 unless you're a known bettor or a high roller and can prove it.

Wizards +99.5 and likely to crack 100. I also have a "free up to $25" on the Daytona 500. I did not think $25 credit was worth putting that much even if I got a future free bet. So $5 free bet on Brad K to win the race. If I lose that $5 likely goes as a free bet for the terps or caps in the next few days.

So free bet was used for Chelsea yesterday (although Brad K almost made me a nice payout on Sunday in the 500). Winner
So started with $25 betMGM and $25 in Fan Duel
currently at $57.71 and $60.06

Let's not pretend I am some shark. Benefiting greatly from aggressive promotions.

Does anyone have a recommendation for favorite sport betting apps? I was with Bovada for years but since gambling is legal now I cleaned it out and want to switch to a US operated one or just something that is easier to move money in and out.
