Official Week 1 gambling thread

[Frozenbeernuts 1,652]

I get smoked on week 1 every year. Oh well. I see 3 games too juicy to pass up

 

Steelers - 6 @ Cleveland

 

Bears +8 @ Green Bay

 

Bengals +3 @ Indy

 

Give me all 3 road teams.

 

The Browns blow, and Todd Haley, the new OC in Cleveland, was talking shlt about Ben and the Steelers. Expect a shalacking week 1

 

The Bears are a better team than the Packers at every position besides qb. 8 points is way too many. The last 4 new head coaches for the Bears all beat the Packers their first meeting. Nagy and his OC from Oregon are new at their positions. Hard to game plan that.

 

Cincy is just the better team. Their dline is going to chew up Indys oline. Luck already banged up. Indy is piss poor on both sides of the ball except for a few guys

Cleveland Defense is pretty good, actually. Seems like Vegas has yet to adjust to the new Browns Mojo, I'll take them and 6 points at Home. Tyrod will keep them in the game. Bears D will take some time to Gel, A-Rod has been Chomping at the bit for this game, I'll take the Pack-8, and the other one I have no opinion. Good Luck!

[worm 34]

I thought Rams -3.5 was a lock even before the Mack trade. I also like Cheifs +3 and Falcons +3.

Browns mojo? I thought their mojo was overstated already. Their defense has talent, and if Haley hadn't smack talked the Steelers I wouldn't have bet on the game. It goes against history with Ben being a different qb on the road. If the Steelers are going to really get it up for a single game this season, this is the game imo.

[jrokh 569]

Steelers were sluggish week 1 last year as well with the same Bell scenario but hey it's your money bet whoever you like.

[Frozenbeernuts 1,652]

The Bears win total for the season is sitting at 7, up from 6.5. The nice part is that the odds went from - 155 to - 130. I put some money on them to win more than 7 games, to win the division, and to make the playoffs

[TheUsualSuspect 207]

HOU +6.5

KC +3

BAL -7

[jrokh 569]

Like the over GB/ChI-47 and the under for Phi/ATL- 45

[jbryant4 0]

Love the CIN +3 pick. I also love TB@NO Under 49.5

[cousinal111 57]

True story from about 15 years ago. Played an 8 team parlay, all Money Lines that ended up paying out 1,500 for risking 100. I was 7-0 going into Sunday Night with the Cowboys playing at Houston against some team called the Texans who had a rookie QB. You know the rest...

 

Good thing I hedged it by putting 300 on the Texans at (+250).

 

My instinct picks right now are Denver (-2.5) & Chicago (+7.5).

With the changes in the betting public, where are you guys playing these days? I am unfortunately living in Jersey, but I expect the gambling options to come in full force sooner than later.

I thought NJ/Delaware were legal now no?

[American Chewy 98]

A lot of states aren't ready yet with defining how sports betting will be allowed. Though I would have guessed new jersey would have been one of the first to be up and running. Mississippi apparently opened their sportsbook this week.

[seafoam1 1,879]

Yeah, the actual rollout of online betting has been very slow as operators and regulators work to get products able to launch. Creating physical sportsbooks come into play somehow and getting licensed by the division of gaming takes time. So it will all roll out one day, but as for right now, I haven't heard much else other than things are in the works. I think they all know that the whole state doesn't want to drive to Atlantic city (and won't have to) to place a bet on whoever is playing the Giants that week. Web sites will rule but I don't see it moving too fast into market. I could be wrong as I have not been following it that closely, maybe it just comes in one fell swoop? Not sure.

 

The state of New Jersey believes in it and wants the income bad. But I'm sure they want it to come without constant legal action or loopholes in the law, so they are still putting things in place I think. Or just making it tedious to get. When I first moved to New Jersey, the law forced me to pay for a 4 year registration for my car. Even if I was only planning to stay for 1 year.

Nothing like the term "Integrity Fees", kinda sounds like the same rhetoric as "Pro Choice" or "Women's Enablement" in the lefty world.

If you like Pittsburgh at 6, then you'll love them at their current 3.5!

On bovada, the site I use, it's - 4. Think I am going to have to lay down some more cash on it.

[weepaws 2,461]

Rams - 2.5.

Lions -6.5

Panthers -2.5

Ravens -5.5.

 

Plus

Falcons and Browns on the money line.

 

Thanks.

[Frozenbeernuts 1,652]

Cincy money line is +135. There my not be a juicier money line this year.

[listen2me 23 1,544]

Rams - 2.5.

Lions -6.5

Ravens -5.5.

What do you bet with? All these lines looked better than what is out there. Besides the Lions.

I clicked on the link and the betting situation it featured was tonight's game. A "moneyline", I guess, ATL +110, PHI -134.

 

I'm experienced with DFS but a newb to sports betting. What happens to a one dollar bet placed at either of these lines if it wins and if it loses ? Also, what's Draft King's cut off of my dollar ?

 

Thanks.

A dollar on the falcons ML (which is a bet where they need to win the game outright) would pay $1.10. A dollar on Philly to win would pay roughly $.75. Typically you lay $1.34 to win $1 in that situation.

Draft kings vig on ML bets is the difference in payouts if you were to play both sides. Nearly $.25 on every $1 bet if they balance their action properly.

Tamarack casino where I live.

 

Reno Nevada.

 

I bet early lines on favorites.

 

But I wait a little longer for underdogs if I think the line will be in my favor.

 

But I usually dont take points on underdogs, I usually just bet them on the money line.

Gotcha. Very nice.

 

Being from Reno id assume you are well versed in sports gambling. I look forward to the gambling threads this year.

[Phil Simms 11 127]

Missed out betting the under last night due to state restrictions.

 

Im in Florida, signed up for DK in New Jersey. It wont let me bet.

 

Anyway to get this to work?

[listen2me 23 1,544]

Im not a daily fantasy player.

 

Draft Kings has actual betting now? Like same as a sportsbook? Has anyone cashed out? How is it set up?

[Richard3312 1]

Seems like a free $60

[purplengold47 27]

Bet the house on the titans, people got short memory. This is the same team that went on the road and beat KC at their house. Also playing penn st on college, expect a blowout.

[TheUsualSuspect 207]

I have lived in the dregs of areas in this country at times in my life, as well as middle tier areas and very nice areas, and I always had a competitive nature and enjoyed my share of gambling in the past, but I have to admit, I have never in my life come across a bookie. When I hear the work 'bookie', my mind always drifts to old movies I have seen from like the 70's and 80's. Police shows and such. You know, the bad guy that breaks the legs of down on their luck addicted gamblers that can't tell their wives that their bank account is empty.

 

So funny to me.

I was actually thinking of using one this year. I know a guy who at least used to do it like 11 years ago. I am sick of this online BS. I am paying more and its not the easiest to get my money out and in my pocket.

[Canadianfan 76]

Giants +3

Texans +6.5

[Big Blue 06 195]

Starting with small wagers his year:

 

Rams -4 for $50

Carolina - 2.5 for $25

Cincinnati + 3 for $25

Pittsburgh -4 for $25

 

Will probably add another or two before gametime
