    I’m done with sports. These are my last plays. Sports is handicapping Covid or Covid risk.

    I was trying to find ways to take advantage of the covid teams...but I have to admit you're right. Just like my wife, you were right and I should have listened.

    Colorado Kuemper and Makar were moved to the covid list just before puck drop. Francouz gets the start in net, emergency back up.....and you lose an allstar defenseman.

    Might throw out the odd wager for giggles but nothing serious.

    For giggles:

    Buffalo +270
    Nashville +125

    Well, looky here.

    The NFL directed the Browns to test only symptomatic players and those who wanted to be tested Thursday morning before practice, league source tells clevelanddotcom; NFLPA stepped in to enforce rules of enhanced COVID-19 protocols

    Just follow the guidelines set or change them in an above board fashion. This is wagering not a Covid discussion. I think passer interference is retarded too but those are the rules we agreed to.

    A scenario that concerned me was that positive players would get magically cleared or rules would be snap changed and my bet’s CLV would vaporize.

    It didn’t matter how the NFL would cheat it was a matter of knowing the NFL are scammers and liars.

    There will be football every day of the week now except Wednesday. Show a little self control boys.

    I want my fucking bet back. I made that Eagles bet understanding a certain date, time. This is exactly the time to stop wagering and worry more about re-entering the US before lockdowns.

    Split the two dogs so a winning day. Both games went to OT would have preferred the big dog hitting.

    The Golden State Warriors are reportedly sending just nine players over the border to play the Raptors on Saturday night

    All their stars are sitting
    Raptors -8.5 or throw Raptors -425 in a parlay.

    Covid/Injuries so bad that Brooklyn is going to bring back Kyrie for games not in NY/Canada. LOL

    Did one of my make your own parlay jobs today.

    Titans +7.5
    Bills - 6.5 -106

    More like a teaser in that neither could push anyway, but allowed me to move the line 6.5 on one and 5.5 on the other.

    Couldn’t pull the trigger on the Cavs tonight. They’ve covered 14 or 15 straight. I’ve had ten of them and the last seven straight after I realized we were onto something. Late game in Milwaukee last night with 9EST tip. Beautiful 29 point win.

    Travel to ATL for b2b against rested Hawks. Only getting 3 atm. Two best defenders out and positive Covid tests yesterday. Too worried more will pop today. Felt almost disloyal not to bet them after this run, but I just couldn’t do it.

    I took the Cavs -3 before the Bucks announced they were resting everyone. I am actually proud of myself in that I anticipated that Bud would rest all the starters and throw the game. I have seen him do this before in the same spot a few times (banged up team on a back to back).

    I am fairly annoyed because I had a Eagles -4 bet I made early before all the Covid news, and a bunch of teasers tied to them when the line moved to 7.5, that all got voided.

    Looks like my stay away was likely smart, or it may be postponed. I figured with the way this thing is moving. Trae dinged also. They’d probably be smart to move to the only test those not vaccinated model as this is worthless

    Took Bears +7. They are actually dominating the game, but because of penalties, turnovers, and inability to convert on 4th down, they are somehow not going to cover.

    Just one of those games.

    Insane. All Bears have to do is score 1 TD to cover and in the red zone 4 times and 3 times turnover on downs and 1 turnover. No one can make a play. Every high leverage must catch play is dropped or over thrown. 370 total yards of offense and 3 points scored until the last play of the game.

    LOL. Bears score TD on last play of the game to lose by 8 (no extra point). What a joke.

    grant me the strength to stop thinking about Covid sports. Abstinence has me a little twitchy. I’m right though.

    This is how it goes. Examining scammy NFL covid lists. Straight fools errand

    I remind myself Matt Stafford is the Rams QB and that quiets my temptation.

    Before the NBA season started I made a couple bets for Christmas games.

    Nets +1 (at Lakers)

    and

    Atl +1 (at Knicks)

    --I assumed Atl would be better than they are and (correctly) assumed Lakers would be down at least one major piece due to injury. Of course it looks like I ran very bad with COVID currently affecting the teams I took WAY more than the ones I faded. From what I can tell the NBA wants these games to go, even if Nets and Atl have mostly G leaguers.

    Both these bets looking very -EV right now.

    There is absolutely no chance regardless of health Xmas games get cancelled. I understand these to be tv contracts that are separately negotiated.

    I completely forgot we bet Xmas until I saw your post. I wouldn’t touch NBA with your money these days.

    Cavs streak ends tonight?

    Did you take Rams last night? I have a confession to make but I hinted at my hypocrisy in a previous post. I had done too much previous work on Eagles WFT on the cancelled bets to walk away.

    3 team teaser
    Football - 340 Philadelphia Eagles -3½ for Game W
    Football - 338 Los Angeles Rams -1 for Game W
    Football - 226 Army -½ for Game

    Army is taking 90%+ of the money. I’m getting creeped out like the recent Bucs/Brady goose egg that took 90%+ $. Thinking of hedging. Every time I hedge I’m wrong and it’s wasted money. I have always admitted it’s my biggest leak. The replacement Mizzi QB is perfectly fine. The Army kids have no futures so this game is more important when you consider shitty bowl game motivation.

    I faded Boston College and took the points cause I’m a hater. They finally built a legit baseball field. D1 school using the football field as a right field wall. They are so embarrassing.

    I would never watch NFL football for enjoyment but the alternative is talking to my relatives so I’ve come up with a solution for the price of an Olive Garden dinner for two.

    Green Bay Packers -1
    Indianapolis Colts +6

    I paid -115 juice. Tell me what you paid if you use a legal book. I’m hearing horror stories.

    I have joked for years about min betting an Olive Garden unit. Olive Garden minestrone makes me happy. I’m a simple man.

    This made me happy too.
