The Swamp Can Resume its Gambling Problem

Post by **brian** » Wed Oct 30, 2019 4:58 pm

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.

I don’t know why I ever bet against the sharps.

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

Look if you can’t beat teams south Carolina beats you aren’t good.

(You beat us and so did South Carolina. You’re fine. Florida by 11)

I hope you broke even. And I hope KU loses 74 games this year.

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

edwzipper · Post by **edwzipper** » Wed Nov 06, 2019 12:28 pm

Tonight it is St Johns -11 vs Mercer

edwzipper · Post by **edwzipper** » Wed Nov 06, 2019 8:48 pm

Added Raptors -8 and Virginia -3

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.

edwzipper · Post by **edwzipper** » Thu Nov 07, 2019 4:23 pm

Two out of three last night isnt bad.

Tonight Marshall -9.5

Post by **brian** » Fri Nov 08, 2019 1:43 pm

Since Rams Fanny and I BOTH missed six-team parlays by one point in one game each in Week 3 I haven't done shit, but I'll post my parlay this week here to try and change up my luck

Illinois +14.5 vs. MSU
App State +5.5 vs. South Carolina
Penn State -260 to beat Minnesota
South Alabama +7 vs. Texas State (sorry, Giff)
LSU-Alabama UNDER 63
Iowa State-Oklahoma OVER 68.5
Georgia Southern -150 to beat Troy
Wisconsin -350 to beat Iowa

$7 to win $477

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.

govmentchedda · Post by **govmentchedda** » Fri Nov 08, 2019 1:52 pm

I was 5-0 yesterday. Tulane, ULLaf, Sens, Pens, Leafs.

I've got Lightning, Oilers, U Wash, UCF today.

Today is a good day to have taken LSU on the money line like I did.

It’s a tough racket but hitting those is nice.

Started 10-0. Soon to be 19-7 with Hawaii -7.5 on deck. Been a very good weekend.

I have a gambling problem, I'm betting on the KSI-Paul fight.

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.

That actually was not a bad fight

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.

Rain and 20 MPH wind forecast for game time.

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.

sancarlos · Post by **sancarlos** » Fri Dec 06, 2019 5:23 pm

Supposed to be pretty heavy rain in the Bay Area, starting about 4:00 pm Pacific time.

degenerasian · Post by **degenerasian** » Fri Dec 06, 2019 5:48 pm

It's creeped back up to 48. I'm locked in at 45.5 :)

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?

I think you cheer for Utah here. Then for chaos everywhere else.

Booo. No weather problems. Should be way more than 10-0.
