The Rising Sun (Fork of Degen Corner and SN Bets)
There is a place on Stacker News They call the Rising Sun And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy And God, I know I'm one
Fairly good week in terms of betting for me.
Started strong as I hit my parlay on the TNF game but lost a small bet I had that Jordan Mason would get over 17.5 carries. Mason got injured late in the second quarter and did not return to the game. He ended up with only 9 carries. Ultimately I was up a few dollars for the game.
In a bet I had totally forgotten about until I checked my account to write this post. Friday, I tried my luck with a profit boost parlay for game 5 of the Dodgers vs Padres, but only hit 2/3 legs of the parlay as I missed the over. That knocked me back to around even for the week.
On Saturday I had a parlay of moneylines for some of the CFB favourites that got me back in the win column with around $4 profit for the week.
On Sunday I hit 1 of my 2 parlays in NFL games fortunately the one I hit was my main bet for the day so I ended up being up around $3 for the day.
I ended up losing a couple of my small futures bets that I made last week on the Royals and Padres to win the World Series. I still have one open on the Guardians.
As for Monday Night Football tonight, I have 2 small bets. Bills on the moneyline which will pay a couple dollars if I win and a parlay with Rodgers and Allen both throwing for 150+ yards, Hall rushing for 25+ yards and Wilson receiving for 25+ yards. Around a $4 profit if I win.
At the end of the NFL Season whatever profit I have made I will sweep into Bitcoin.
Current profit stands at: $84
Sats for all, GR
Only yesterday, I came to know that there's a smll town in Canada where they take bets for when, exact date and time, the river ice breaks. The prize money blew up my mind which was more than 100k dollars. Are Canadians so crazy for betting?
reply
In places with extreme winters, people get really bored and really excited for winter to end. I've heard of that sort of thing, but I don't know if it's particular to just one town.
reply
You can be right. But I just know one and that's Talkeetna in USA. One more thing I saw that Guns and Bullets are being sold in mall there, like anyone can buy them. Is that so?
reply
Alaska has the least restrictive gun laws in America.
reply
That's interesting. No, I don't think Canadians are bigger gamblers than Americans.
reply
Yes, Americans are bigger gamblers, there's no doubt in it.
I saw it in a video and the betting amount was only 3 dollars and so. The name of the town is Talkeetna, oh my ... Talkeetna is in USA!!

Alaska!

Nice. KC is on bye this week so no SN BETS
But I did hit on my hockey bet Saturday night I took buffalo and the over 5.5 goals for a nice 3-0 sweep.
Tonight I’m doing a small bet on the bills money line and doing a jets parlay with the promo.
Jets ML over 41 Rodgers over 150 pass yards
reply
Nice. Bills are winning tonight though so don't know abou that Jets moneyline.

I hear the 49ers are favored over KC next week. I'll probably be taking advantage of that.
reply
Probably because they are at home. It's only 1 point. Chiefs have been finding ways to win but don't look that sharp. Not sure I would have the 49ers favoured based on one game where they didn't manage to blow it in the 4th but it could be a close game.
reply
I'm pretty sure Andy Reid has an insane record coming out of the bye and it's hard to argue that the Chiefs don't have the 49ers' number.
reply
49ers had a mini bye too with the Thursday night game so the rest disadvantaged isn’t as significant as if they played Sunday but I am sure Reid and Mahomes will be ready for the 49ers. 49ers will have to play their best game of the year to win.
I’ve never been good at betting
