Since the FF thread is dead... I am 5-1 in all three of my fantasy leagues this year. One auction keeper league, one half PPR, one vanilla. I'm peaking right now. Guarantee I could play for the next 40 years and never come close to this again.

You might not be able to play for the next 40 days given that you just #shadjinxed yourself.

I got cute and bet on the Bills +10

I'll remember to never bet on Peterman again (which should be like one more game before he's shot into space)

Same actually...it wasn't a feeling, it was actually based on an analytic that I'm working on that suggests I should probably bet on Buffalo to cover most of the next three games...

I have deleted the file, as that killed a four-leg parlay that would have hit...

yeah, my thinking that the Bears shouldn't be double digit favorites on the road against anyone and the Bills nominally have a good defense but that failed

My three leg parlay lost on the Broncos. The field goal at the end would've just pushed so I would've won but a lesser amount (other two legs were Saints +1 and Vikes -4.5) but **** Vance Joseph

Leave it to the **** Lightning at -310 to torpedo a money-line parlay. That team could have an empty-netter to win the Cup and they'd hit all 3 posts.

I have officially made it to the semifinals of all three of my fantasy leagues (10, 12, and 14 team leagues). It's been a good year, hope I can at least win one of these things.

One league I'm facing an 11-2 team that scores 150+ each week. Okay thats the way it goes, but this guy is the perennial Taco of our league, always finishes laughably last, but had to miss our draft this year at the last minute (so he says) and autodrafted. He's been riding Pat Maholmes and I know there is no way in hell he even knew who he was before they played the steelers in Week 2, so i'm pretty bitter.

So did you bet or what?

I've been getting pummeled lately. In the last 4 weeks I'm like...2-12

I hit on two 5-leg parlays last night...

Bruins ml
Sabres ml
Wild ml
Preds ml
Jets ml

and

Leafs pl
Caps pl
Panthers +1.5
Wild pl
Jets pl

and my Saints bet to win the NFC South cashed on Monday. I bet on them +230 to win the division after Vegas panicked because of their week 1 loss to Tampa (?)...so that was a nice chunk of change...

And it looks like I've won all three of my semifinal matchups. This is a year I will never experience again.

Competitive betting has semi-finals?

sports betting tournament sounds fun

My attention is got (well, it was got with dodint's less-than-subtle jabs, but I didn't want to pile on haha)...

Take the NFL playoff tree and we each put bets on the teams...if the bets are opposing, simply, winner wins...if the bets are the same team, the bet with the higher odds that cashes wins...sum up the W-L-Ps for each person and see what happens...(best I can do off hand)...

Example:

Wild Card Saturday:

Indianapolis -150 -5.5
Houston +120

Dallas +130
Chicago -110 -3

etc. etc. whatever...

So MIMH bets on Houston like a peasant and I bet Indianapolis, both moneyline bets...well, then it's easy to see who wins. But on the other side, we both know Dak Prescott stinks, so he takes Chicago -3 (which is probably -110 or -115 here), so to still take Chicago, I'd find something to top him...like Bears 1H -3 at +120...

We'd need some way to aggregate "difficulty" on wins or even attempts...this is probably wrought with nonsense situations that can't be accounted for...but I'd be interested in playing in a betting tournament...that we just invented...

Same. But I'm not willing to do any of the work at all to set it up or follow through with administering it.

11-leg parlay on unders tonight...pays 1167:1

Wheeling, WV Casino is officially up and running and our app is live. Most of my newbie friends are watching games today with $5 bets on the line for fun and I'll sit back and laugh when it snatches them all up with his neon claws.

11-leg parlay on unders tonight...pays 1167:1

You win?

Nah, but I think there were 8 unders that night, so I'm all right...

Which one of you other degenerates had either Dallas -2 1/2 or the under of 43 last nite? I want to dropkick Jason Garrett and his playcalling for helping to cause that monstrosity of a bad beat.

Dallas was a part of a 3 team parlay for me, but I got them at -2.
