What’s the odds that Boone gets canned at the end of the year?

General advice- don't bet over/under season win totals. You tie up your money for months and rarely get more than +150 odds unless you're playing alternate totals.

Probably -200 (67% probability) at this rate, but I don't even think Kalshi or Polymarket are offering that right now.

But it’s fun.

The money is really immaterial to me in sports betting. I like the sport of it.

 

[MeanGreenBeans]

I'm probably too serious about it. I've been doing this for almost 25 years now, and I kinda miss having that approach.

Just keep pouring $ on ND to win it all and Carr for Heisman. I'm up to $1k each on both. A couple months ago, I bet on Spurs to win the west and the title. It looks like the odds are down to around +300 (west) and +500 (title) now, but I still like both. Spurs match up well against OKC and went 4-1 against them this season. I'm also on Wemby for western conference finals MVP, and the odds on that are down to around +300 now.

I like that - mainly b/c I hate OKC and their FT merchant.

My goodness this Knicks game. 50 point lead in the second. Never seen a blow out like this. Ouch. Just need the Hawks to score enough to cover the over in this parlay.

Just seen that score. What a mess.

I absolutely can’t wait for sports talk radio in the morning. I live just outside of Atlanta.

They were leading by 61 at one point.

ND's odds to reach the title game are basically in line with their odds to win to win it all. There's some value on Georgia, Indiana, and Texas to reach the title game though.

Edit: LSU too

All these odds are criminal, I just found them interesting enough to post as comparisons.

They also posted alt win totals, so bad.

Some of those odds to reach the title game compared against odds to win it all are assuming that a team will be a considerable underdog in the title game.

Owe you a beer. I got +335. Good call. Happy I settled for conference champ.

So which degenerate in this thread is Sorsby?

Spurs -5.5. What’s the play? I’m torn

I'll call my guy in Lubbock and get back to you

Surely bet the opposite, right.

I was chasing Knicks lines since Spurs always flash then crash. Kept pushing since they were shooting 70% from three and had to go cold. Gave up and went to bed when Spurs were up damn near 30 in the third quarter. Woke up to a bunch of money in my account - even the MLs paid off, what a shitshow. Would have hedged TF out of it had I stayed awake.

Fanduel’s bonus bet deal is great if you’re a small timer like me

$5 bonus bets for every goal on a game you bet. Ex. $25 yesterday

I have seen folks with this bonus be as high as $25, not $5. Even at $5, $40 and counting already today thanks to the Germans. Unreal promotion

I also had Spurs to win it all at +1500 and Wemby for Finals MVP at +1300. Thought the series would be Spurs in 7 games, so I hedged both of those to guarantee a profit with Knicks to win series +175 and Brunson for Finals MVP +208. Spurs lack of experience was the crucial factor, but they'll be back.
