I had luck with St Louis, Houston 1st half spread and some houston player props Thursday night. Kentucky yesterday. But took a few shots with Miami Ohio (again, total @ss) and had Ohio State in a 3 teamer. So it's been roughly 50/50. Up a little due to a parlay win Quote

I find boosts detrimental actually. It gets me trying to use it. Most of my boosts are 10-25 dollar max. Whats a 20% boost really get you? Then many have a leg minimum of 3. Or odds minimum of +300. I dont find them useful at all. But perhaps books I am not on give better boosts. Not sure. Quote

But perhaps books I am not on give better boosts. Not sure. I get a lot of 50% boosts on NBA. I choose to use them on parlays which I’d be betting anyway. Boosts are not going to do much for you on your single bets (I don’t make a lot of single bets anyway as I’m not a volume better so it makes less sense for me) but if I have the tokens available and not using them on anything else then why not. there’s no way I could classify them as not useful I typically only eager $5-$10 though so if you need to wager $50 and can’t use it then all good or you could wager $10 boosted and another $40 obviously the point is to entice people to wager but considering a lot of betting is trying to get the best juice or beat the juice in the long run then I’d think most people would use them whenever possible 1 Quote

I expect 13-16 seeds to get blown out and look lost. When I see 7-12 seeds looking absolutely clueless and I bet on them it pisses me off . How did they advance through the “first 4”? Good lord Quote

Then obviously it is a plus. How much of a plus? Depends. The daily 20% boosts on any sport for DK. 10 maximum. +300 minimum odds. Ok a 10 dollar 20% boost on a +400 is what? Not much. But like I said, for me they just get me betting. Or adding a leg to get the boost. If you are basically using them on plays you are already firing then its only a positive. Quote

But like I said, for me they just get me betting. Or adding a leg to get the boost. If you are basically using them on plays you are already firing then its only a positive. I don’t know what DraftKings offers these days. FanDuel for example I’ll get a lot of 50% for 3+ leg. I’ve never even noticed the minimum odds requirements because I’m usually adding it to a 4-6 legger. The larger your base payout the more valuable it becomes, obviously. So a $5 parlay that might pay out $50 normally is now much more lucrative. but again, even if you wanted to do a straight bet and had a 20% boost with a $10 maximum (usual restriction is -200 or longer odds) and normally bet $25, why not make 2 bets of $10 boosted and $15? Again since so much of betting is finding the best odds I just assume any smart gambler is finding a way to use them. of course if there is a sport or event restriction, I’m not going to start betting tennis just to get a profit boost Quote
listen2me 23 Posted March 22 Posted March 22 9 minutes ago, WhiteWonder said: of course if there is a sport or event restriction, I’m not going to start betting tennis just to get a profit boost Pretty much. Im not betting on NBA. Hardly want to bet on college basketball but like action on tournament. I used to watch a bunch of college basketball. So in certain times of the year im betting golf and maybe boxing/mma. I will read up and bet on whatever but im not hitting boosts each night on many of these sports. In football season I will use them as I like putting in a longshot parlay a week anyway. But they are no help yo my main plays and if I win or lose on thr week is mostly up to those. Quote

They had Niang and settles on today. It was really good. Quote

They are basically Kentucky with a little bit better defense. Teams that shoot a lot of three-pointers are teams that get Iowa State. That’s not really Tennessee. I also think Jefferson will play.

Quote Joshua Jefferson is highly questionable to play. Iowa State's head athletic trainer confirmed that Jefferson "rolled it pretty good" and noted that the ankle is still in the "acute stage" of recovery. Quote

Yeah, I haven’t heard about a press conference. Last I heard they weren’t gonna say anything until they got to Chicago, which I suppose could be today. Yeah, let me be clear. He’s optimistic but in no way am I saying he’s claiming that he is playing. I think he’ll play based off of the little I know, but there is some optimism. Honestly, I’m not entirely sure they don’t beat Tennessee even if he’s not playing. After that, though there’s no way. Quote
