My personal speculation is if you assume the $20M is accurate and who the hell really knows I suppose, but there is probably no way he's got that much in potential "losses" if the Astros win the World Series. I assume at this point he's betting a few million of "real money".

LVRJ is reporting he has about $12M in bets for about $22M in potential winnings.

Also reporting his potential losses on the furniture promotion are approximately $20M, which maybe I guess. Seems high, though.

It has been legal in Iowa since football started. All done on my phone. Deposit or withdrawals must be done at the casino. I have done nicely. Tomorrow I have Florida +6

I came out ahead because the Michigan bet was less and also -110. The money line bet saved me.

Betting against Syracuse or opting for the under in their games is likely to be a successful strategy this season.

That Raptors -8 is why I don't bet basketball. So many points, too easy to take bad beats.

I also have a fairly decent sized bet ($30) on Illinois ML at +500

ETA: Decent sized given the size of the underdog, it should be said.

Man - you might as well bet on wrestling.

Ravens are my top pick in my confidence pool at -10, followed by Packers at -5, Bills at a very strange +3 and Seahawks at +6.

The Utah-Oregon total has gone down 5 points from 50 to 45. Any reason for this? I know Herbert is struggling but these are still two high powered offenses.

Hmmm that not such a big deal. Could be turnovers or defensive backs slipping and sliding.

Part of handicap is also that Utah will be happy to run ball down Oregon's throat and chew up time given the conditions.

Depending on the amount of rain, the field could go to absolute shit as it did at Super Bowl 50.

My wife drank a glass of wine on an empty stomach - she'll be passed out right after dinner. Which means I can watch this game.

Who should I cheer for?
