Yea, so am I. Just had a horrible run in some zone poker - all in pre flop and my AJ < J9... I'm fuming right now... Down like $28 on the night, not good at all... :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

I'm a bit nervous on this weekend's games. Not many of the steady teams play their starters in week 4 of preseason. And those teams not too established will play their started for half the game or so. I haven't checked the lines yet, but hopefully they have some decent ones for the games.

Took a night off, looking forward towards the football this weekend.

Although I'm not sure why. Being the 4th preseason game, no starters are really going to play. I'm choosing the UNDER on a couple of games that have a high O/U and think the starters play a series and are done.

Parlay (2 picks) Under 38
Indianapolis Colts vs. Cincinnati Bengals
Under 40
Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Atlanta Falcons

Risk
US$ 2.00

To Win
US$ 5.29

I know!! I'm so stoked. But that means we wont have bets in the early days of the week.

This is looking like crap. For some reason the Lions have decided to score 4 TD's before the half. Annoying, but im sure we're gunna lose this one.

Wow - I was so caught up in helping the Wife with her fantasy football draft I thought I bet on the UNDER for the Lions game... I didn't even look at the games I bet!! Glad that was the case, cause the Lions game was high scoring...

With that said... the ATL/JAX game is right at the OVER/UNDER... NO MORE SCORING GUYS!!! I NEED A WIIIIIIIIIN.

Too funny. I was so caught up in other crap tonight I thought I had lost. I check the scores and this is indeed WINNER WINNER :D

To top things off I played some Zone poker tonight on Bovada, and walked away up $13. Can't complain today :)

There will surely be a bet tomorrow on the games there.

Sooooo bad news turns into good news.

Long story short, my wireless is crap, and doesn't allow me to play on MTT's sometimes (wont load). Long story short - couldn't play in today's Freeroll in Bovada.

Time for some good news - went to go sit down at some Zone cause I was bummed I couldn't waste 2 hours playing MTT. Ended up walking away making $19.60. Time for another parlay on today's college football action!!!

WINNER

Had a bad session in Zone this evening, losing a buy in. With the poker/betting losses and the poker/betting wins, looks like I'm up 12.24 on the day. I guess I can't complain on that front.

As we vastly approach 1000 views, I think a random $1 7 leg parlay is due. Hopefully it pairs right up with some NFL action. We shall see!!!

Couple of interesting past days here. Not much on the betting front, for I'm doing some read ups on the football action in the near future. I'm so excited, my wife is more than annoyed with me...

To keep this up to date and running, had a $2 loser parlay on some baseball action. Had a bad down swing in some Zone last night, losing $27.79. On the bright side, had a nice short session today, walking away with a 33.50 win. Bovada increasing a mere $3.71 in these two days....

HURRY UP FOOTBALL ACTION!!!!

Lots of labor day fish so the zone poker is pretty juicy right now.

I hear ya.

So I see Bovada has released most of the spread options in betting for the NFL (except the NE/BUF game). None of the straight up options or over/under yet though.

One thing I was playing with on my lunch hour today was the teaser bet. It's a parlay bet where they will "give" a certain amount of points, typically 6 or 7, to your odds, obviously with a lot less payout if you win. I was thinking of doing a teaser bet to start things off. If you give certain teams in certain matchups 6 more points on the spread, things look quite fancy...

I will do some more research when time permits me, but I'm feeling a 4 team teaser to start off the year...

So it has begun.

I was venturing on the Bovada site today (probably not a good thing) checking out some of their sportsbetting promotions. They have a '2 for 1 Tuesday' promotion. Bet $20 or more on a 3+ team Parlay on Tuesday and score a $10 Free Bet to use the following week. I'm in.

https://sports.bovada.lv/content/sportsbook-promotions/2-for-1-tuesdays

Figured that we're closing in on 1000 views and the start of NFL, lets start things out with a BANG. I've got a couple teaser bets going on. Here's what I threw down for week 1 action.

6 Team Teaser
Denver Broncos -2 vs Baltimore Ravens THURS 8:30PM
Miami Dolphins +7 vs Cleveland Browns SUN 1:00PM
Minnesota Vikings +11.5 vs Detroit Lions SUN 1:00 PM
Indianapolis Colts -4 vs Oakland Raiders SUN 1:00PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers +3 vs NY Jets SUN 1:00PM
Atlanta Falcons +9 vs New Orleans Saints SUN 1:00PM
RISK $2
WIN $12

AND THE BIG ONE

3 Team Teaser
Denver Broncos -2 vs Baltimore Ravens THURS 8:30PM
Seattle Seahawks +3 vs Carolina Panthers SUN 1:00PM
Indianapolis Colts -4 vs Oakland Raiders SUN 1:00PM
RISK $25
WIN $40

I was playing with teasers... and found a series of Over/Unders that would allow me to tease 13 points!! That's like knocking off almost 2 touchdowns!! I targeted games that would be held indoors or have pretty decent - high offenses, and just picked the over. After viewing it all in my bet slip, I'm thinking it's a good one.

4 Team Teaser (-13) Parlay
Baltimore vs Denver OVER 35
Atlanta vs New Orleans OVER 41
Minnesota vs Detroit OVER 33.5
Oakland vs Indianapolis OVER 34 (this may be the one that trips me up)
RISK $10.00
WIN $8.33

I'm either going to make a lot of money or take a decent hit during week one :p

Side note - If I make a ton off these first couple of weeks with these teaser bets (over $100 profit), I'm going to make a pretty big teaser bet. Maybe like $100 or so. Only one way to find out... C'mon Parlays!!!!

Hahaha yea they are. But what confused me is to why the +13 option was there for some games and not others. If I were to substitute a game in for another game, the +13 option would go away...

If it wins I will for sure be looking forward to another one in the future, that's for sure!
