90 lol.

I usually win a lot one day (like 60-80) then lose it all the next day besides like $10, then go back up the next day.

That's still pretty Damn good though

The Saints/Titans line went down to -6.5!!!

I'm taking that. Last I looked at it, I think it was at -10. This seems like an easy bet. Saints have been on fire lately and I dont think Mariotta/Titans can score enough TD's to keep up.

Easy money bro.
I'm tempted to make that my first bet

My first deposit of $500 I lost on one stupid bet due to over-confidence in the Jazz. After that, I deposited another $200, and I'm already up to $428. More than doubled my money in just 4 days. I'm hoping I can keep this up. :)

Looooooove Oklahoma State O36 points today. TCU's defense is young and VERY vulnerable.
I also love them +5 and the ML almost as much. I feel good TCU loses today.
I also like buying a point for Cincy +10.
And Michigan -24.

Hope you guys followed my advice. I won over a grand yesterday.

You should also watch lines during games. For example, a favored team can start the game at -250, then if they're down by a few points in the third, their line will be at something like -125. Depending on the match-up, this might be very good value because the team might still actually be heavily favored, despite being down at the moment. The opposite is also true.

It's also good to look at stats. If a team's line has changed significantly, but you can see that it's because of an statistical aberration, then it's a good bet. I talked about that during Toronto's game against Orlando. They were down by 8 at half, and it KILLED their line. I looked at stats, and they were shooting 20% from the floor, while Orlando shoot something like 45%. And only down by 8. Since it is extremely unlikely that Orlando will shot a lot higher than that for the second half, and Toronto almost certainly will improve their %, it was good to bet on a Toronto come back. They ended up losing the game on a missed FT at the very end. But it was a good bet, and those payoff over time.

I don't do football since I know nothing about it, but I'm curious about your winnings. You've mentioned winning thousands of dollars several times this thread. Are you actually making like 10k a month from sports betting? O.o

Did you parlay all those?

Won 175 on OSU 1H O18.5 pts
Won 350 on OSU O36
Won 100 OSU +6
Won 100 On Michigan 1H -14
Won 25 on Michigan -24
Won 100 Cincy +10
Won a little less than 100 on OSU ML
And some other smaller stuff.
If Cincy had won, holy ****, I would've cleaned up as I had them ML and in a couple parlays ML too...would probably be up another 500-1K.

Good thoughts.
Can you explain what the -200, +110 type of stuff means?

I just signed up with $100 and put 20 down on a parlay with green bay -3 and saints -7.5

Minus means favored and plus is underdog. So if a team's moneyline is -200, it means you have to risk $200 to win $100. If it's +110, it means you risk $100 to win $110.

I'm waiting for the moneline for Toronto's game. It'll be positive (meaning you win more money than you risked). That's better than a negative line with only +2 spread. I will out $20 on it. I also put $20 on Portland's -1.

Ya I like Portland too.

I wanted to put some money on the jazz to make the playoffs but that bet doesn't exist.
Couldn't find it when I went to Vegas either. Seems weird

I think in general college is easier to bet than the pros since some teams get wildly overrated.
 
Hoping I get my money pot up to $200 next week then throwing a fat bet down on Miss St over Bama.

it cuz the season already started.

But you can still bet on who will win the east and west and championship.
Seems like you should be able to bet on who will make the playoffs and that the odds would just adjust as the season goes on
