Making It Interesting (Sports Betting Thread)

Haha yeah this is a lock. I couldn't be happier.

[robbiestoupe]

You predicted you’d have a child by the time he hits 1600. Well?

[mikey]

I guess technically that could happen...I'll have 6 or 7 months...

[robbiestoupe]

Especially if you “pull the goalie”

lol, this exact conversation happened at my work golf outing last summer. One dude had just hit a 25k parlay. Turned out said parlay was $500 on like 10 mlb unders. And the dude ran off hit betting history, something like 1.5mm wagered, was up like 5 figures total.

a person in my friend group had our $50 on a Rangers-Red Wings game a few weeks ago despite not knowing anything about hockey

I wouldn’t say I’m a super proficient gambler but I’ve been doing it for 10 years and I know all sports pretty well and man it’s crazy how loose people can be with money like that

[meow]

ok you degenerates. I made a DraftKings account.

[MWB]

Haha I would’ve given you a referral code.

[mikey]

Yeah, no referral offer...? I hope you lose your house.

[meow]

well that’s no way to welcome the cool kid to your stupid little group

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

well, it wasn’t stupid. And then you arrived

[MrKennethTKangaroo]

Is meow doing this to bet on echl playoffs?

[meow]

you betcha

[meow]

now tell me how to win money on NHL games tonight

[mikey]

Pick the winners.

[willeyeam]

Bet on the Leafs

[meow]

so if I want to throw some cash down on the canes to obviously beat the isles, do I want puck line or money line?

[MWB]

With it being -240 money line, I'd probably just go with the -1.5 at +120. But I don't really know what I'm talking about.

[mikey]

so if I want to throw some cash down on the canes to obviously beat the isles, do I want puck line or money line?

Bet the series. Bet Canes -1.5 games.

If you want to bet the game, ml is just pure win. Puck line means Canes win by 2 or more.

Or sack up and bet Canes win series 4-0 like I did

Picks with a touch of betting value in mind...

TB in 7
Tor in 6
NYR in 6
Car in 4
Dal in 6
Wpg in 6
Van in 5
LA in 7

You parlay all these exact series together and for $10 you can quit your job...sell your kids to the firehouse (as I understand it) and live in a country whose GDP is based on pineapples...

[meow]

if I bet $100 and win that, can I own that country?

[mikey]

Easily.

Even if you break it up a bit and did, say...

Canes in 5
Kings in 7
Stars in 6
Jets in 6
Rags in 6
Van -1.5 games

A bet of just $5 pays over $60,000

So if you up that to $100, obviously it pays $51.7 billion...

[meow]

it appears I goofed this and bet each individually instead in a group parlay. live and learn

[mikey]

It's salvageable. I don't know what book you're using, but next time look at the bottom of your bet card, you'll see parlays.

Also, look out for rewards/promos. Sometimes they just give you 20, 25, 30% boosts on certain things. You have to opt in for them, but just a heads up. It's like gambling coupons.
