Guest Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I know we have some degenerate gamblers like @ManUtdRedDevilsand I assume @Slug, and it would appear from recent comments @Zaku3 I have recently begun baseball betting. Mostly dopey low stakes parlays for the funsies. What do you all like to bet on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodger Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I should since it’s legal here now but I don’t have a huge bankroll so if I do it’s $5 bets usually. But I haven’t lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slug Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 13 hours ago, sblfilms said: ...and I assume @Slug Very, very low stakes just to make games I don't have a rooting interest in more entertaining to watch. Like, $1 on a game that's on TV or $5 on a weekend parlay or something. And even then it's like one or two wuss bets a month. That's about it. As for what I bet on, anything really. Mostly whatever American sport is in season. Though I do like betting on sports I don't know shit about. Golf Tournament? Sure I'll put $2 on Whitey O'hittinballs to win the big golf match even though I've never heard of anyone on the leaderboard. East Chennai Bowlers vs. the Nepal Batwhackers in a cricket championship? Let's go fightin' Batwhackers! I do place a $20 futures bet every year for the Commanders to win the Super Bowl, but that's really just a $20 annual fee for my lifetime membership in the Masochists Club.

Mostly dopey low stakes parlays for the funsies. What do you all like to bet on? Would be nice to go pro but that's unlikely. I enjoy it alot. I am more interested in being right then winning or losing money. My current plans are to keep building my bank roll. I make 3-5% bets. I don't recommend parley's though. The money looks good but you are just stacking the odds against you. If you do parley's keep em simple and small. So like 2 money lines, or money line and gosl totals. I watch only soccer really so I bet on just about every league. However I am trying to improve my win rate so I only bet on things I feel are a sure thing. I generally look for bets that have a good chance of happening and atleast double my stake. I wish they had the Colombian league though. Junior has been doing really well.

Zaku3 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 To prove my point. I am doing a parley. Tottenham to win and both teams to score. There was a boost for adding Son to score at any time but felt this is "safer". I use bet365 forgot to mention. Combo of having them shoved down my throat by ads. My draft kings account is messed up and well while ideally you should have multiple bookies I am not rich thus can't have large bank rolls at multiple sports books. Tottenham have won four of their last five at home, scoring 16 goals in the process. Five of the last six North London derbies have seen both teams score. Spurs have never lost to Arsenal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. My evidence but it is a derby so I could be wrong and Spurs aren't that dependable.

Guest Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Since we are probably ly not getting legal sports betting in Texas until next session, I’m still using my old BOVADA account from my young adult years. Since I get paid for crypto mining in BTC, figured that will be my gambling money. I mostly bet baseball and basketball (pro and college) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaku3 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Winning on Tottenham winning but still need Arsenal to score. Might cash out though. Arsenal is down to 10 men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I bet for fun so I mainly build parlays. I look for bets that have a minimum +300. I bet heavily on soccer since you can bet that all year round and can always find pretty good odds. I also bet a lot on football since that schedule is compact and easy to get up to speed and find value. Outside the two heavy hitters, I bet the NBA, MLB, tennis, and UFC pretty regularly. I stay away from the NHL, golf, and racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I played Bucks over Celts with 6 minutes left in the 4th quarter at +650 when the Bucks were trailing 98-92. Celts choked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 LOL, silliness on my part but I felt pretty sure of this one (7th inning, Astros up 4-0 hence the -3300) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris- Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I only bet on football; with all of the other leagues I only know my favorite team particularly well, but when it comes to football I watch whatever and whenever it is on, so I have a better sense of how good the various teams are. That said all of my bets are chump change, $5-10 prop parlays that I try to get around +1000 just to make it fun. Doing straight spread/moneyline sounds boring.

Guest Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Been live betting a lot of the 7th inning and on in games. A couple of stressful moments last night, but my bank has slowly grown to 2.5x my starting point with a bunch of small wins. I don’t know how people do this with big money on the line.

There is usually a good amount of "value". Basically bets that are likely to happen but have positive odds. I had at the time a 600 dollar bank roll and bet like 500 dollars on Peru vs Chile to have 4 goals or more. I am freaking out and cash out to avoid major loses. But I was right. 4 goals in the last like 10min of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I’ve been doing something that is a little interesting to me. I’ve found that my hit rate on baseball parlays in the +500-700 range is around 25%, so I made an account where all I do is bet $10 each day on a park of that range and I’m (slowly) growing that account. I am sure there will come a time where it goes sideways and I start missing below the 20% threshold, but interesting to look at conservative strategies that never bet big wins but overall are positive tending over now a 4 week period. Planning to do this for the rest of the season and see how it plays out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judge hits the homer late to get to the 6+ total bases on 3 hits, and the Yankees were set up for a comeback when we all got Chapman’d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Honesty thought United would win especially since Liverpool is next week. Put a large bet on a United win, BTTS, and Ronaldo goal. To think I knew that bet failed within 30 mins is shocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
