NFL Sports Betting Thread

[mikeak]

I agree on liking Giants. Especially they way they lost, the way Eagles moved the ball second half and banged up Jones

I disagree on Bears. Their defense is bad. If Palmer stays upright he should shred them

Saints, Steelers, Colts and Eagles look like good bets to bounce back at home with wins. I'd be pretty shocked if any of those 4 teams lost. I may have to put them in a ML parlay. I had my eye on Minnesota, but not sure what to make of the line movement....Detroit is usually a good fade on the road.

1. How much does a 4 team parlay pay?

2. Does the house get the win on a push in one of the games?

I love moneylines and parlays. Nothing worse than losing a parlay because the point spread came into play, whereas it is easier to stomach winning but not winning as much when you should have rolled the dice on the spread.

Be it betting big with 3-4 obvious winners (disclaimer: still a little early for obvious winners). When parlaying obvious winners on the moneyline, the bet obviously needs to be big to get any half decent payout.

This week I like a couple of dogs on the moneyline: A $100 Detroit/Atlanta parlay at the book I use is paying out @ $362.00, but if you want to take the points ( 2 & 2.5) it still pays out @ $281.00. If you're new and just looking to try it out for fun, $25 on a moneyline parlay is still a cool $90.50

I'm not sure that I'm confident in any favorites, maybe Miami, New Orleans and Baltimore - but those teams have big warts. But, for the sake of this thread, a 3-team moneyline parlay on those favorites pays out as ($25 =$33.00; $100 = 132.00).

Personally, I'm going with the DET/ATL moneyline parlay this week.

I like DQ to have Eli's number, and Julio and Ryan to eat up NYG's mediocre D. Stafford/Golden/Calvin/Abdullah are too much for that Vikings D that looked quite pedestrian against the 49ers.

I made a bit of money on player totals last year.

This week I've gone 'over' for:

Jared Cook 49.5 receiving yards
Marcus Mariota 208.5 passing yards
Darren Sproles 64.5 rushing and receiving yards
Russell Wilson 32.5 rushing yards

11/1 Accumulator.

Buffalo have moved to -1 over here with most bookies, I like New England at -2.5 (6/4) on the adjusted handicap.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Bills -1 3u
Browns +1 3u
Bears +2 1u
Cinci -3.5 1u
Vikings -2.5 1u
ATL +2 1u

Few player props:

Martellus Bennett O59.5 yards -120 .5u
Brandin Cooks O76.5 yards -120 .5u
Andy Dalton O20.5 completions -120 .5u

ML Parlay: Saints/Eagles/Colts

Anyone play DraftKings or FanDuel? It isn't allowed in WA state, but any Non-Washingtonians playing this?

It's pretty crazy how much daily fantasy sports have grown. They are advertising everywhere. I think I see more daily fantasy sports commercials than anything else. ESPN even has them as a sponsor.

Right now DraftKings spent more on advertising this week than any other company according to this article, beating out companies like Warner Bros, Verizon and AT&T. While DraftKings ranked 1st, FanDuel ranked 7th.

I would love to see our legislature fix it so us Washingtonian could play.

 

[IndyHawk]

I don't understand why you can't play but you can buy some weed or go to the casino.In Indiana hard to do either but I could play fantasy football online.Anyway I like reading your guys posts and learning the spreads and payouts.A few things I never knew in here.Good luck guys.

Carolina -3 @ home
San Diego + 2 1/2 @ Minny

 

[Hawk-Lock]

First glance leans:

Detroit +3
Tennessee +3.5
STL +1

Will probably take the Hawks at either -14 and buy a half pt or take Bears Team Total Under. I will also be on the lookout for Jimmy Graham OVER props, got to think he gets involved this week.

Carolina -3 @ home
San Diego + 2 1/2 @ Minny

My buddy's in Vegas and just told.me Carolina has moved from -3 to -8 with the news that Brees is out (announced yesterday). Don't like em at -8 nearly as.much.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Based on the lines, Vegas loves the Rams and Cowboys. Public loading up on the Steelers at a PK and the Falcons at -1.

I put a Benjamin on a futures bet for the Hawks to win SB L in Vegas on Thursday. William Hill at the SLS listed 10-1 on paper as of Monday, but had shifted to 9-1 probably as a result of Kam's return. At the next stop on the monorail, Westgate, the odds were not as good, only 8-1. NE and GB were in 5-1 or 9-2 territory, IIRC.

I screwed up back in 2013 and didn't get around to even placing the bet when I was in Vegas in August '13, so I wasn't going to screw that up twice.

Dan Quinn's Falcons as a backup bet, anyone? Matt Ryan and Julio Jones, and a Defense too?

 

[Hawk-Lock]

STL PK (2x)
DET +3 (2x)
TEN +3.5 (1x)
SEA -14 (1x)
MIN -2 (1x)
BAL -1.5 (1x)

3-TEAM 10-PT TEASER: CAR PK/NE -4/SEA-4 (1x)

 

[SomersetHawk]

Had a week three accumulator looking like this:

Bills, Bengals, Colts (double result), Oakland, Pittsburgh, Seahawks (-14.5). £5 (about $7.50) just netted £555 (about $850).

Good day for me. No way I'm cashing out with Packers hosting Chiefs
