Now that the Supreme Court has expanded sports gambling and mods/admin allow the talk of sports gambling is there any interest in discussing weekly sports gambling advise/technique etc for this season?

I’m not a gambler asking for a friend

I have done some light bets in vegas sports books- pre-season superbowl bets for the most part.
Never got in to gambling on games.
Prevent defenses, bad calls, fluke plays... seems like there are a million ways to screw a bet in the last quarter. I think it would add way too much stress and take away from my enjoyment of the game.

If it's really a problem that you have, you will always wind up broke. Even if you make a ton of money, you will just gamble it all away eventually.

True.

I gambled just to be gambling... win a few hundred and it just meant I could make bigger/more bets.
I pissed away a ton of money doing that.
I finally found a middle ground- only allow myself 3 or 4 vegas trips a year, and that is all the gambling I will do for the most part.

So who does everyone like this weekend? So far, I have two teasers pending, both with the Rams -1.5, who already won. The other end of my two teasers are Packers -4 over Buffalo and Detroit +9 over Dallas. I also have Pittsburgh -3 over Baltimore as a straight bet.

Also, I always blindly bet on any inter-division home underdog, as that situation has won for me over the long term. This week, there are two: Arizona +3 over Seattle and Denver +5 over KC. I don't feel comfortable with Arizona, but taking them due to the situation.

How are the Packers still -10.5 against the Bills? Admittedly I’m not spread knowledgeable, but that seems like a ton for a team that looked bad last week vs. one that looked like world beaters. What am I missing?

You are missing that this is a sucker bet. Bills will get killed

He's actually a nice guy. He helped me out with a few issues on this site already and did so in a very timely manner.

Not sure why you're being like this.

Threatening to shut down a thread while also saying he needs to get permission for adults to enter into a discussion on a MB... Both bitch moves.

Frank Reich is interested in gambling, though he doesn't seem to be very good at it.

I'm up about $8.9K this year... here's how I do it weekly.

10 separate $100 units. Never any more, no matter how confident I am. $1000 weekly.

Some games will get 2-3 units while others only get 1. As long as you hit 6+/10 weekly, you'll be up big in no time.

The key is knowing when to stop and not go over your 10 units (whatever the denomination may be... $100 for me).

It's really not a lot harder than it sounds if you gamble with discipline.

Also, you're able to pick 10 separate plays every Sunday? Or do you include other sports.

Edit: nvm, I see that you put more than 1 unit on a play... but still, you can come up with 10 units every week?

Not really. There are some pretty surefire investments even if not huge payouts. A lot of people just get too high on a couple big winners and then go over the budget for the week (in my case $1000). PROTIP: You will lose if you think you're smarter than the books.

When I get cocky playing the parlay or money line is when I lose. But hitting one of those sets you up really nice

Just an FYI for everyone. I said earlier this thread to NOT discuss betting websites until I get the OK from the owner...

Rush has said no website discussion or links.

Everything else is ok.... I am going to go thru and remove mentions of all websites in this thread. Please refrain from further mention of gambling websites..

Thanks.
