Gambling is hard. I put a small wager on Ben Askren to win the stupid boxing match. After waking up the next day I checked the results and realized that I lost but for some reason on Betfair it said I had actually won?? Apparently I had accidentally offered to take the opposite side of the Askren bet i.e. effectually bet on Jake Paul to win. :downs: :toot:

what was the actual bet? can you post a screenshot?

Betfair allows you to both back and lay either side of the bet on the same screen, it sounds like Mursupitsku was intending to back Askren and ended up laying him instead (was the box red instead of blue when you selected the odds?)

I really like Usman ITD tonight at +275 to +300 (I see it at +290 on 5dimes). The line is high because masvidal is tough as hell and hasn’t been finished in a decade (including making it to a decision against usman last time). But that number, for a dominant fighter with five rounds to work? I think we see a finish

Honestly, I don't know, but I will post something as soon as I find out. Getting sports betting at the dog tracks and jailai frontons will be amazing.

The article said part of the agreement is that Seminoles won't give a gently caress about player banked games at all the mutuels, so those table games are here to stay.

We will see! Should be very interesting to see what happens in the future.


Edit: Those dog tracks had poker rooms anyways, they're doing just fine for money. Sports betting would be just more revenue. A huge chunk of the rooms only ran dogs because had to legally.

I don't know what internal trigger or free money glitch I've encountered with BetMGM, but they've given me three straight 100% $500 bonuses that I'm able to clear with just my normal betting no problem. it felt like the good ol' days of grinding constant free bonuses, except I didn't have to anything to make them show up!

Yea, the Wizards winning game 4 is a prime example of that. My issue with NBA betting is I win most of my single unit bets, get overconfident and bet 5 units on a “sure thing” and fuckin’ blow it.

In Canada legalized sportsbooks can only allow bets that are based on multiple outcomes(parlays, futures, etc), going forward we should be able to do single bets no issues.

Can books just parlay something that is pretty much guaranteed to happen with the other bet they want to offer? Like “Parlay: Raptors +5, temperature at tipoff > -50 degrees.”

Sort of, I think it had to be somewhat possible that a bet could fail, I've seen stuff like "Patriots ML, Team Total over 6.5" but the odds are always worse than a straight ML. There was always the option of betting on offshore grey market sportsbooks too but that gets sketchy sometimes.

It just don't stop.



I took great advantage of FanDuel's parlay insurance on the Euros. 6 parlays, won 2, and got the insurance payout on all the rest. (Still waiting for the rebate on the last one. Might try one more.)

Made about $250. (Insurance only refunds up to $25 on each bet, so I only bet that much.)

DraftKings had a special for the Over on Bucks/Suns at 220.5 boosted to +150 instead of -110. I’ve never put so much money on a single bet in my life.

Thank gently caress it paid off. I have a little bit of cash on the Copa America and the Euros and then I’m taking a break until football season starts.
