HEY SPORTSRANTERS

karasz411 · February 22nd, 2006, 07:54 PM

Alright, I need to know something. Everyone that actually looks at the forum, WHO if anyone at all, GAMBLES on sports?

Is it just me or are there other degenerates out there?

Come on people I need a sportsbetting friend to go over some of the bets I will make and how bad of an idea some are.

I only bet on hockey.....unless you get me drunk.

I bet alot on baseball last year, and I may do it if I have some extra cash at all this season. Post away man... i'm not the best at it, but it would be fun to talk about it. I started a thread last year about my wagering, but that faded fast (with my bankroll, lol)

Don't most people bet on March Madness? Thats the best time of the year to make extra money while at work.

Gunnerman · February 23rd, 2006, 08:40 AM

Sorry I can't help on this one as I do not gamble.

It's futile.I heard on our local sports radio,even the best handicappers only win 60 something % of the time.

most people put 5 or 10 in the pot and fill out a bracket then see who does the best and although that is gambling, thats not exactly what im talking about.

well winning 3 outta 5 is great. think about it, thats +2 bets if every bet is the same amount.

im not exactly that great or even close but im working on it...

at least there is one degenerate here, so thatll be fun.

whourdaddy · February 23rd, 2006, 08:59 AM

I gotcha on the brackets, I just assumed a lot of sports fans did side bets as well

BtownJay · March 23rd, 2006, 08:13 PM

Aside from my NCAA bets tonight and tomorrow, I threw $20 on my NBA team the Wizards tonight.

I need them to beat the Jazz and I win 20 bucks on top of my bet.

Rusty27 · March 24th, 2006, 06:58 AM

Not bad.So you came out ahead making $20 and only losing $10 on Duke

Yep, so overall a net win of $10. I bet on some boxing and NBA games for tonight. All small bets of course, but something to keep the games interesting.

karasz411 · March 24th, 2006, 01:00 PM

yes... thats awesome

in about 7 or 8 months you'll be askin for loans and thinking about that 8 team progressive parlay at 150-1 odds just to be at even

welcome to the descent into hell man... trust me, its a fun ride

Rusty27 · March 24th, 2006, 01:06 PM

The counter guy at the pawn shop knowing you by name is also a special moment.

BtownJay · March 24th, 2006, 01:10 PM

lol, actually sports gambling isn't addiciting or all that much fun to me. I usually put a little money in (or have Meik put it in for me) and then bet with that until i lose it. One of my betting places just gave me $50 free for no reason, so thats the money i'm using now.

I took a boxing parlay filled with heavy favorites for tonight... I have...

David Haye, Lucian Bute and Felix Cora Jr. all winning for $30 to win $10. lol

I also bought some points on NBA games... I have...

Bucks +8.5 vs. Lakers
Hornets +9 vs. Bulls
Pistons -.5 vs. Pacers

$10 to win $30.

*Basically my whole $60 is out there tonight, so if all goes bad, i'll be done betting on sports for a while once again.

BtownJay · March 25th, 2006, 01:24 AM

YAY... big daddy Jay won his 3 fight boxing parlay and the georgetown & boston college bets tonight!!!

A + $36 night for me!
