    My first 2 unders got pounded, and my NE moneyline lost.

    Nice 0-3 start. Now have dropped 4 straight in NFL for first time this season.

    SF under, 7-0 in late 2nd, is promising,

    If SD State covers later, the day won't be horrendous.

    Those wouldn’t happen to be weather unders?

    Patriots - what possible reason could there have been?

    We need to have a talk. I’m worried.

    Don't worry. Take it from someone who has been there many times before. A few more weeks of this and you wont feel anything anymore.

    One of these weeks was inevitable. I've skated through the entire season without any real losing week. Had to happen, I guess.

    Bad week to bet unders. Look at the scores today.

    Unders 5-5 today weren’t they?

    Should be 6-5 after tonight’s game.

    Wow. If I was that guy who needed the Raiders to win to pocket $6M and lost the game like that after they were ahead for 59 minutes I would be going insane now.

    Its a fair point. That said the other 3 dudes that had Pitt are going crazy.

    My guess is we wake up to the news that they agreed to a 4 way $1.5M chop.

    Im generally on team no hedge but for this particular night this guy should have been on the line with casino marketing taking out as big a marker as they would let him draw to put on the Pitt ML. If they let him bet 500K…… guy could get greedy and want to play it out with some money already in hand.

    The casino said they would not accept the ticket as collateral to hedge. Have to bring in your own money.

    The contest for this week was unusual because it was split into 2 parts. 16a and 16b. A = any game on Thursday or Saturday. B = any game Sunday or Monday. So the 4 remaining contestants gotta sweat it out again tomorrow and Monday.

    And the casino said they would not facilitate a chop. I guess they could hire a lawyer to work something out.

    There are 4 players left and I checked what teams they had left to pick for Sunday/Monday

    Looks like it will be 2 on Tampa Bay and 2 on Chargers

    The guy who needed the Raiders to win will most likely be on the Chargers. It was 4th and 1 late in the game and a stop wins him 6 million. Didn't work out. And now he's gonna go down in flames with the Chargers losing to rusty Nick Foles.

    I didn't realize Foles was the QB for Colts. Surprised line is only 4. Seems like it should be higher.

    I can’t imagine sitting on that ticket at halftime. The Raiders have blown like an absurd amount of halftime leads. Would be 2 weeks in a row most likely if not for a damn miracle. When you looked at the game, it was an easy Raiders pick in weather. Big strong back, strong armed QB, receiver who excelled in Green Bay. But it’s the Raiders and Josh McDaniels is going to Josh. Always an assistant .

    I have a disturbing amount of money on the NYK ML. I had it circled all week. I can’t even go visit with anyone until this is over. I was solid in my analysis when I looked at it. Sixers on road AIDS and looking good after home win streak to inflate the odds. Knicks at home. Home teams on Christmas. Checked all the boxes. As tip approaches, you start thinking I have a boatload on the damn Knicks.

    Maybe I've lost my touch in NFL.

    5 losses in a row, and now Miami has hung a 10 on the board in just 6 minutes.

    Man I fucked up. Passed up +245 hedge hoping the Knicks would extend lead a little more and I could turn it into virtual freeroll. Got greedy and may get burnt. That was as good a hedge spot as it would get.

    Then it dropped to 7-10. Had my finger hovering over 1000 to win 1950 live on Sixers even in last minute to hedge and lessen exposure. Instead they don’t call foul on Sixers that was obvious foul, dude hits halfcourt shot at buzzer, and it drops from +195 and more with free throws to +106 that isn’t even worth the hedge.

    Drove back down the street and jumping in shower and hoping Knicks get off to hot start and I can hedge before going to dinner. If Knicks pull it out that run saved me money, but I legit threw mid 4 figures on Knicks and would have liked to lessen exposure a little. I loved Knicks side, but kind of fired more than normal as I have to switch all my accounts to Ohio-based accounts anyway come 1/1 and figured we’d go out with bang or whimper as I was going to Pittsburgh for NYE and figure it would be fun to pick up $11k as a goodbye to PA sports books.

    Here is to a solid second half. They should be up much more and that makes me nervous.

    Ticket ID: 533xxxxxxxx
    PHI 76ers @ NY Knicks
    Moneyline: PHI 76ers
    Odds:
    +270
    Wager:$1000.00 Payout: $3700.00

    Not getting greedy again. . Still heavily invested in Knicks holding on, but worst case we can throw another chunk on Georgia and this half’s my exposure. Glad I grabbed it. Right back to 4 as I drove back down the street. Live odds are insane. I had grabbed +205 and it jumped to +270 and I had to gladly approve odds change.
