Rube's 2014 Gambling Odyssey

[rubecube]

So, uh, yeah, I have no income at the moment and am currently living in one of the most expensive cities in the world (Copenhagen). Not really sure how that's going to work out for my gambling but I think I'm going to drop $100 into my account and then just make lame $2 bets or something.

I don't have any strong feelings for the weekend games at this point, but for tomorrow night I'm going:

SEA/GB O46

[GirlySports]

I'll take Green Bay +6

Super Bowl hangover.

I'll match rube's $2

[DropIt]

on a $10 proline

GB to Win vs SEA- 3.60
WAS to Tie HOU - 3.20
MIN to Win vs STL
NO to Tie ATL

pays $1125

Well at least one of us started off well, but that's been my MO the last few years, with the exception of last year. Start the year off okay, and then absolutely blow in October, before a mediocre run in to the end of the season. Anyways, here's what I have tonight/tomorrow:

BAL -2
IND +7.5
DET -6.5
SD +3

[rubecube]

Skipped the TNF game for obvious reasons. I can definitely live with a 4-1 start to the season.

This week I have:

ARI -2.5
SD +6
PHI +3

I might tease some games but there are a lot of games that look like traps. GB -8 looks so tempting, as does SF -6.5.

[Sylvanfan]

Oh, how I wish I'd moved on New England to cover now.

[rubecube]

Ended up adding:

NE -6
CAR -2.5
GB -7
CHI +7

[rubecube]

Well after starting the season 10-1-1, here we go with week 3, where I usually get killed. Probably because I get overconfident and start betting too many games. There just seem to be a few sitters this week.

CIN -6.5
CHI +1
PHI -6.5
CLE +1.5
KC +3.5
CAR -3
DAL -1
NYG +2
SD +2.5
SF -3

[rubecube]

Now 16-5-1 for the season (6-4 last week). Onto week 4:

WSH -3.5 (LOSS)
CHI +1.5
MIA -3.5
BUF +3
IND -7
CAR +3.5
DET -1.5
PIT -7
PHI +4
NO -3
KC +3

[rubecube]

Rough 4-6 last week. Now 20-11-1 for the season. On to week 5!

BAL +3.5
PIT -6.5
SD -6.5
CLE +2.5
KC +5.5
CIN -1
CHI +2.5

[DOOM]

Played one sportselect ticket today

Brocos/49ers/Chargers to win.

$9 = $27.27, woo!

[rubecube]

I missed last week because I was out of town. This week I had:

CLE -5.5
NO +2.5
KC +4
DAL -6.5

[Da_Chief]

How do you like them Browns?

[rubecube]

Was out of town again this weekend, so couldn't post, but here were my picks for week 8:

ATL +3.5
BAL -1.5
OAK +6.5
MIA -6.5
PIT +3.5
HOU -3.5
KC -7

5-2 week. 28-14-1 on the season now.

[rubecube]

This is by far the best gambling season I've had, so of course it's also the one with smallest bets I've been able to afford. Here are this week's picks:

CAR +3
PHI -2
BAL ML
DEN -3
MIN ML
CLE -6.5
NYJ +9.5
OAK +15

[rubecube]

Also adding ARI +2.5

[rubecube]

I also took the under last week in the Pats/Broncos game. That's what you get for making last second bets when you're drunk. Ended up 4-5 on the week, which makes me 32-19-1 on the season. Week 10, here we go:

ARI -7
PIT -4.5
NO -4.5
ATL pk
BUF +1
GB -7

3-team teaser
DEN -4.5
NYG +15.5
PHI -1

[rubecube]

3-4 in week 10. Week 11's picks were:

PHI +4.5
ATL ML
PIT -5

That brings the season total to 36-25-1. Here's what I have for week 12:

KC -6.5
OAK +7.5
JAX +14
NE -7
BAL ML
CLE ML
MIA +7.5
NYG +3

As you can see, I'm trying to middle the hell out of the KC/OAK game.

[GirlySports]

Packers/Patriots O/U opened up at 60, the highest total for an NFL game in at least 20 years.

HOWEVER, it's a 4:25 kickoff and the forecast high for Sunday in Green Bay is 15F with a wind chill of 4F.

Should we jump on the under!?
