Sports Gambling Thread

[thebigdawg]

I know there is a side betting thread, but to be honest I don't like the idea of betting with people I have never met before and trusting that they will pay you through paypal...I do all my action through Betonline.

I will post my picks on here daily, always focused on football (NFL and College) and the NBA. If anybody wants to post there picks on here with me then you are more than welcome too. Also I made this the "Sports" gambling thread, so all goes (hockey, soccer, college basketball, mma) whatever your into. Right now though I am just focused on football and NBA.

Bowl Games (4-0)
Houston -6.5
Cousins over 2 1/2 TD's+INT's

NBA (11-13)

Magic -4 1/2

Yes, I am actually in the states....I use Betonline and I have no complaints with them. From what I hear Sportsbook is good as well and I know Americans can go there.

That -3 clemson didn't work out too well lol.

I heard sportsbook is decent, besides you have to wait at least 3-4 weeks to get paid. How fast does betonline pay out?

Not at all lol, oh well.

To be honest I never have made a withdraw on Betonline, I couldn't give you a true answer on that. I have made a withdraw on Carbon Poker and it took right at 4 weeks, so I assume thats how long it takes all the sites.

Betonline does have really good help services, 24 hour chat with support is available and they give you phone number if you need it as well. I had to do everything through email when withdrawing from Carbon and it took awhile.

I really need to focus on poker and stay away from sports gambling, at least basketball it seems. Going to keep on though until the bowl games and the playoffs are over at least...if my basketball gambling stats are still below average then I will probably bag it till baseball season and focus on poker for a month or two.

ive never really tried sports betting, how much have you won or lost on sports betting?

Kinda hard to say, I usually place the same bet on all my wagers and try to pump in some volume. Over the summer I rode a pretty good heater on MLB. I didn't keep up with my stats during the NFL regular season, but I think I finish a little up from it. I have had a good bowl season, basketball has just been a killer. Rough start to the NBA and College.

I'm pretty sure the best odds I have ever had to win a wager was 6 to 1 odds.

i hear ya. being able to get paid out in a timely fashion is something the sports betting site i would use have to have. too bad all sites can't pay out fast!

 

[thebigdawg]

Time to bag it.

I have been sports betting for the past two to three months day in and day out, and really not making much of a profit....these past two weeks have been the most brutal.

Sorry for all who followed, but I feel like its time to take around a 2 month break from betting against Vegas and focus on poker. I will probably be back in March, in time for March Madness, NBA playoffs, and the MLB.

Also if anybody wants to keep this thread going then you are more welcomed too, I will even hang around and post in it time to time.

49ers are getting 4 on Bovada right now vs. the Saints and I'm loving it. On paper there is no comparison with these two teams and as hot as the Saints have been it seems crazy to go against them, but I really don't think they are the same team outdoors as they are in a dome, Remember Seattle least year. Saints have already lost to GB, TB, STL and barely got by ATL in OT on the road. And the 49ers have been almost unbeatable at home. I like the 9ers outright in an upset.

Wild finish but the 9ers pulled it out...
