    Just a PSA if any of you have satellite radio, Vegas Stats and Information Network is channel 204. Very big fan. I listen to that over anything ESPN, fox, whoever does for sports. And they usually talk through the lens of betting so it’s good stuff for gamblers. And the hosts and guests aren’t random Twitter jabronis, it’s people who know what they are doing.

    I just looked more into pointsbetting on PointsBet.

    There are some reallll fucking degenerate bets on there. Some especially dumb ones:

    • This is a bet on the largest lead during the match squared. E.g. A bet on OVER 125 means that if the largest lead is 15 points, the bet results at 225 and you would win 100 times your stake (i.e. a $1 stake will return $100). *Max win/loss is capped at 1250 times your stake.
    • This is a bet on the cumulative number of touchdown minutes for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Touchdown minutes are awarded based on the match time when each touchdown was scored. i.e. If they score a touchdown in the 15th, 35th, 50th and 55th minute, the total touchdown minutes result for the match will be 15+35+50+55 = 155.
    • Tennis: This is a bet on the aggregate multiple of each set score. I.e. a final match score of 6-4, 4-6, 6-0 would mean (6x4) + (4x6) + (6x0) = 48.

    A lot of these online places but these ridiculous prop bets out there and people take them. I bet every sport in the world (Snooker, Darts, Cricket etc.) but I dont play any props rarely ever.

    During live primetime NFL Games, I'll bet will the call on the field be overturned on challenges. You pay high odds on some but some are so obvious its free money. I make a TONNNN of money betting Tennis individual games. Find guys that hold serves a lot and pay like -400 or -500 on them.

    But this crazy stuff, no thanks

    Any golf picks for this weekend? I like Patton Kizzire at +164 top 30/+105 top 40 finish. He's a past champion of this event and has finished T24, T12, and T10 in his past three events. May even throw a bit at +6500 for outright.

    Bankroll went from $1,200 to almost $1,800 last night. Hit UNC hard at -170 for the win and then put the winnings back into live wagering Kentucky +4.5 to hit both picks for the night. That was a fun one. This is the point where I need discipline to build my bank roll. I'm hoping 30+ now provides that patience. In years past, i'd always find ways to blow it. Highest I have been was almost $3K before I blew it all on dumb parlays, live blackjack, etc. Look forward to sharing the climb or losing it all with everyone here.

    Classic chase case. You got to set hard credit limits that you’re comfortable with or he’s just going to keep upping his bet until he wins

    Go bet $10,000 on Ravens +10.5 now.

    You either break even or make $10,000 if the total is exactly 10

    I usually would wait until live and try to get a better number. Did that with the Bucs/Giants Game he put $5k on with me. He took the Bucs -12, I waited until it was 14-3 Giants and hit the Bucs ML at -120 for $5k

    I’m cautious with live lines, as they can really screw up quickly. Missouri jumped to +300 to lead at halftime and win in regulation against Vanderbilt early in the first quarter. It quickly adjusted, but the liability is huge.

    Live Betting was made by the Devil. Although I would say 50% of my bets during the day are Live.

    Live betting best way to bet nba.
    College football is prob my second favorite to bet live. Sometimes you can just see after 1-2 drives if a team doesn’t have it that day, but the book can’t just immediately toss out the pregame line.

    I look at this line and dont see how this game is even close. I've seen RG3 come in and look miserable. This should easily be 2 TDs

    I’ve read your post above 10 times and I’m dumb today. If I personally take 10k on the Ravens +10.5 and he has 15k on Steelers -10, Steelers win by 20. I lose both.

    I think you may have a mistake there
