Zero dollars and zero cents. e: oh do you mean if he just did 15 legs instead of 16, I dunno, if the Lions were -400 probably 726k/4 = ~180k?

OK if he can't cash out that means this game is gonna be hilarious no matter what

If they left off the Pack-Lions game, they would have won around $150k.

Congratulations!
I liked the idea of someone with three quarters of a million dollars credit that had to Brewsters Millions his way through it all to get his cash out.

But then I realized he’d probably just hire a company to place the safest bets possible and slowly cash out that way.

It depends on if the book gives you back the principle on your "bonus cash". If they do, just place a few $100k bets on basketball games that are over (like 20 point lead with 2 minutes left) at like -10000.

lol it's 25$ dollars

Again the 25 dollars doesn’t matter. It’s that they could win 726k dollars or zero dollars on one game tonight. As mentioned the cash out option would be the best thing probably but if that’s not possible, you scrap up whatever you can to place on the Packers. Even if he can only scrounge up a thousand bucks, at least he could win almost 726k or a few hundred bucks. Anything is better than the 726 or 0 option.

I mean, when you're making your whacky free bet, I'm sure it doesn't occur to you "if I hit every single one of these except the last one I can make over 100k, maybe I should just do that." but whoooooooof. All I could think about if I was them was 150k about to go up in smoke cause I got greedy.

Hey, maybe the refs will be on the Lions side tonight so this will become a big story that the NFL can use to push gambling. :v:

I have been mentally beaten down by the Lions so much in the last four decades, there is literally no way I would ever bet money on them to win.

And I was near a newly opened sportsbook here in AZ last week. And I still wasn’t tempted.

Always bet against the Lions. You’ll almost never be let down by their infinite ability to let you down.

It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

I saw the Packers down 17-14 at the half and texted my friend that “maybe the packers aren’t good this year.” That was dumb of me.

Goff just being straight-up awful would've been preferable to him playing well and then just making several complete dunce moves in a row.

Lions might be able to grab a new QB and WR in the first round next year.

And maybe a few more undersized runningbacks who can’t understand the concept of downhill running!

I feel a little better after that one. Offense did their job, defense didn't blow it, albeit vs trash competition in the Lions.

Maybe Rodgers should’ve played six quarters in the preseason, instead of using the first six quarters of the regular season to warm up and get reacclimated.

Home now and damp from the rain. Managed to beat the front that's moving through right now.

The Lions had an excellent first half and fell flat in the second half. Referees and Goff didn't help matters really.

The Lions defense has to be a major concern I think. The offense managed to move the ball early on but the defense was barely a deterrence outside that one sack on Rodgers.

Packers look mostly back to normal after that debacle last week. Rodgers is starting to dip back into some of his bad habits, which is a little worrying, but like he's still one of the best passers in the league so whatever.

Really glad to have Cobb back. His presence midway through the game gave the offense a spark to get rolling. Also it amuses me that I can just look at who's catching the ball and immediately recognize that it's Cobb because of the distinctive way he catches: he hauls the ball back in immediately to his chest.

Jenkins, Jones, Tonyan, Hill all had good games. Can't comment as much on the defense, it's a lot harder to watch the secondary cover at the same time as the defensive line pushing. I found it much easier on a screen to kind of take in the entire defense at once, visually.

I changed my mind.
I'm not sorry.
Lancaster/Lowry are as bad as Kevin King, we definitely have a King upgrade in Stokes but we don't have anything for DT

Slaton absolutely deserves more reps, it's d-line and you can at least get him situational reps.

You can see downtown, kind of, from up here. You can also see the fireworks guy working on the setup. These bangs were deafening:


Rain highlighted by the floodlights:


We were sitting in the baseball-style seats above the bleachers. 9/10 would sit there again. Sheltered from the sun and the rain, and the view was surprisingly decent for being so high up and so far away from the field.
