Rube's NFL Gambling Odyssey

[GirlySports]

yeah but now the 2nd game is dragging, Notre Dame keeps kicking FGs. Doesn't look good.

[GirlySports]

I'll continue my adventure.

$12 Morning session:
TEN vs JAX OVER 45
OAK vs CIN OVER 50

[GirlySports]

boooooo

last $12.10 on the Stampeders of course

[GirlySports]

well.. I'm broke again.

Big week for me!! Didn't start out well on Thursday.

I had a 3 game parlay with the favourites all covering which was blwon in the first game. I had made separate bets for the upset wins in the first two.

So after the first game I had lost the parlay, and lost the upset win

My upset win paid off with the Redskins win and I got cocky (I was into the beers pretty good here) and bet $305 on a Patriots cover.

Ended up being about +$300 at the end of the day. Very nice.

I took a 2 game parlay early Sunday:

TB win + Den -10.5 for $25, lost.

SF -2, Stl win, Bal win $25 paid $186.50

I put $50 on GB to win...oops.

So Sunday was up $86.50.

Now up almost $1,000.00 on the year!

[GirlySports]

There were 20 winning shares
matching 13 out of 13
for CARD 623
paying prizes of $12057.80 each.

how is that possible? I got like 10 wrong!

Didn't end up betting at all this week. Had a few too many drinks Saturday and when my alarm went off I said screw it, back to bed for me. Probably for the best after seeing the results.

I guess I should have tied one on Saturday night too. I'm down to my last $20.

Really when you look at the results only Cleveland, Jax and Miami were really upsets, if you can even concider those upsets. Otherwise all teams that should have won won.

That being said I took Minny (stupid Bears keeping Cutlers status in the air for so long) and TB.

This week should be fun with so many games

With how I was feeling and how much I spent that night I came out a loser either way.

On a gambling note I think I'm going to give Toto a go with weekend and of course some regular games. Haven't had a chance to take a look at the lines yet though.

For those interested, Matt Ryan is 2-6 all time against the Saints and hasn't beat them at the Georgia Dome since his rookie year in 2008.

That being said

Just did a $5 parlay on Saints, Jax, Indy and SD pays $429.80. Will it happen, probably not but I spend more on poker everyday and win less so whatever

[rubecube]

Well after a decent week last week, I've got a good feeling about some my picks this week.

Week 13:

NO +3.5 = LOSS
CHI -4 = LOSS
STL +7 = WIN
NYJ -4.5 = LOSS
JAX +5.5 = LOSS
NE -7.5 = LOSS
HOU -6 = WIN
CIN -1.5 = WIN
PHI +10 = WIN
WAS +2.5 = WIN

$102.34 to win $100

[return to the red]

what a week of upsets! 4 wrong on pools with tonight blocked, i'm gonna guess winner has 2 wrong if not 3.

Crazy

[return to the red]

Someone sent me a tweet saying they only have SF wrong and Balt. I would think the majority of people picked Baltimore at home over Pitt as one of their Guarantee's.

Tonight's game will be a good one no matter if I don't even have any money on it plus i'm already looking into next week's match ups

That's a lot of boxing... I wonder how much you'd have to spend to box everything on seperate tickets.

wouldn't it be 1/2 X 1/2 X 1/2....15 times to cover every single chance? There is actually a guy in Ontario that you can buy shares into his pools tickets, BUT from what I read they pick at least 4 Guaranteed winners

[rubecube]

Still haven't decided if I'm going to play tonight's game or not. Really don't like it.

Week 14 picks:

TEN +5 = WIN
JAX +2.5 = LOSS
CHI -3 = LOSS
NO +4.5 = LOSS
GB -6.5 = WIN
HOU +4 = LOSS

$60.63 to win $60.

[DropIt]

Atl -3.5
kc +6.5
stl +3
bal +3
