the betting thread

I lost my reverse Todd parlay because NE played for the FG in OT.  Obviously lost all of my ATL-related bets.  But I hit a nice little same game two-team parlay with Seattle and the over.

Also, I will get absolutely caked tonight when the Phillies dig themselves an 0-2 hole.  Bums.


EDIT:  LOL - Actually, winning one bet and pushing the other is a winning parlay?  HAHAHAHA - The Reverse Toddy system works, people!

[Munson]

If you're doing it on bodog, then yeah they pay you out for pushing. Just a lower payout

Also hit on this 4-team "sweetheart" teaser:

SD +4.5
KC +17.5
Balt +16
Pitt -1

Glad I took the 13 point version, because SD is laughably bad.

In play:
Minn +2 - looking good
3 teamer: DET/NYG o38.5, MIA +10.5, NYJ/DEN o36 - WIN
3 teamer: NO/TB u54, CLE/PIT o27.5, DAL/MIN o33.5 - WIN

Bayless was 1 for 4 this weekend by my tally, with his only correct pick being Auburn (keep in mind Mallett went out in that game - could have definitely gone the other way).  Matty is a genius.

And Mike Greenberg is now 1-10-1 on the season with his stone cold lead pipe locks.  WOW.

I am about to push on a straight Jets bet , thanks to a 46yd PI call on DEN. I hope they can hold on now.

And I will cash a 6 team teaser either way because the last one in play is the Jets +3.5

And if the Colts cover -3.5 then I will hit a 3 team parlay.

Not too shabby of a day

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I would have had an awesome day if I weren't so intent on betting against the Eagles.

That said, either the Phils are tying up the series tonight, or I am getting caked off BIG TIME.  I will be very happy to lose big.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Oh shtein...I cashed a 7 team totals teaser too!

I forgot about that one as it was a bullshtein bet right before the early kick offs.

Yeah!

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Vikes -2, Vikes +2 - WHO fargING CARES, EITHER WAY I WIN

Honestly, I really have no idea what I'm doing and still win more money than I lose week after week.  Basically, I go with a combo of....

1. gut feel (usually my worst bets)
2. betting against the team I want to win, especially if said team is favored
3. mixing up a lot of different shtein like teasers and parlays
4. fun bets, like betting against the picks of idiots like Bayless and MDS

Anyway, I definitely have a problem and will seek help.  As soon as I get back from my next trip to Vegas.

[PhillyPhreak54]

lol

I wish I was in Vegas sitting in a sports book

Anyway, that taterskins TD pushed it over

but I have the Colts at -3.5 and on another card at -4

Come on

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

If you'd followed rule #2 of my system, you would have made bank like I did.  (Oh wait... You probably are rooting for McNabb.)

My bet of the day yesterday?  $3 to win $42 on Cody Ross hitting the first homer of the night.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Nothing to see here.  I'm stupid.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yessir you are.

Whats the play tonight?

I'm leaning Titans and the Over.

Rangers and the over in MLB too

[PhillyPhreak54]

Just won on the Hamilton 1st HR of the game bet. 

Went with Tennessee -3 and over 44.5 in a parlay

I also parlayed those two with the Rangers and the over.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I also parlayed TEN and the over, but Kerry Collins does not give me the warm fuzzies.
