UConn -4.5 v. Gonzaga

[rayrayfor3]

I’m in NY but not seeing that offer?

Promos are diff state to state bc of diff state watering tax rates and how the promos are taxed.

You can also get more and deposit bonuses if you don't use their service for awhile

I’m down in TN but my buddy in Jersey City got the same promo too this morning… it’s weird, because now I don’t see it anymore on DraftKings.

Edit: actually I do still see it when I go to the College Basketball tab. Check there.

One of my tried and true betting trends is a Top 25 team getting more than 2.5 pts on their home court.

That said, this isn't their "home court". All 6 meetings we've had with them have been on a neutral court and we've won 4 of them including last year's 82-54 Western Reg Final. They don't have answers for what we're going to throw at them.

Not worried at all. Lay the -4.5.

***The Deepster is 4-1 ATS this season.

It's a "neutral court" like MSG for a west coast team would be a neutral court.

I got it afterwards, had to refresh the app. Coupled the line with -2 halftime line for a lil extra.

It may just be an app thing.

Fanduel and Draft kings are the general industry leaders. Personally, the interface on BetMGM makes me want to break my phone whenever I try to work it.

If you need any invite codes let me know!

I only use BetMGM because they gave me free money and I’m just rolling with house money. I picked Barstool because I live near the Plainville MA casino from Penn Gaming. Now it is ESPN branded, has a new Sportsbook. Bigger bets I’d make in cash.

 

[Deepster]

No high horse. Just I have seen lives ruined by gambling. Jobs lost, marriages ruined, children lost.

Oh then thank you so much for helping us!!! All those marriages you just saved with your post!!! You’re a saint!

All makes sense. BetMGM is always giving out free money to suck people back in.

FYI, BetMGM, PointsBet, and DraftKings lets you withdraw your money when they give you the deposit match bonuses. So you can deposit, get the free bets, and take your money right back out.

The only Sportsbook I see that doesn’t let you is Fanduel.

Last min tix to Rangers Ducks game so gotta rush back for the tip. Need a Rangers win for Mojo.

 

[Mr. French]

It’s not on the front page of draft kings, but if you click on the game it’s there.

I watered down to -2.5 alt line and used the profit boost to make it close to 1-1.

I also have them -4.5 … they should win this game NOT easy, but I think 6-11 points.

 

[Hunt for 7]

91% of bets currently on UConn, 74% of money on Gonzaga. Interesting…

So all the big bets are on Gonzaga…..interesting. I guess the bigger the risk the better the payout. Makes you think someone knows something. But then again it may be an irrelevant data point. To be honest I am worried about this game. Really looking forward to how the injured pups are moving. But 10:00PM is a tough one. Just going to have make sure I am up before the game starts. No way once it starts will I be sleepy…….

Don't use all your rooting energy on the hockey game

Aside from UConn, where I bet like 50 bucks at a time, I mostly play the promos and am up several thousand dollars in under two years. But go on.

Its probably an algorithm scam luring in same day only bets. Like stock brokers that don't allow pre-market or afterhours trading. "Here take some free money to be handicapped and lose in the long run".

Someone has facts wrong here. Rothstein post makes more sense?

Probably because they're playing in Seattle.

I might’ve not explained that right.

For example, if it was a 100% deposit match up to $100, you could deposit the $100 and get the bonus bets. Then immediately take it out. So then you just have the free $100 they gave you to bet with. Pretty risk free situation.

Gimme UConn minus the points. DC is due for a big game.

I am all for allowing people/adults to choose how they want to live as long as it is legal. Now gambling is legal, weed is legal and we continue to evolve…..maybe. The part I worry about is high school kids. Especially the athletes they all understand way more about odds and lines on betting games than I knew in my early twenties. So it becomes just another normal part of life hopefully most will keep it under control. But these kids are getting exposed to this on every bit of media they are connected too.

The point is, there are plenty of outlets where moderation is key and offer the opportunity to overindulge. A little.....or a lot.

Going on a basketball message board, into a thread discussing the game's spread and warning people about the dangers of sports gambling is preachy and the textbook definition of being on a high horse. If you're that concerned, go find a gamblers anonymous group and donate your time....or shut up. His post made me gamble more on the game. So there.

 

[Mr. French]

Welp, my -4.5, my -1.5 AND my parlay of -3.5 and under 149.5 all hit. I’ll take it! We were the better team by 7-15 points, that 4.5 got people excited.

I believe you have to use the money in bets to get the deposit match

 

[Tenspro2002]

Gonzaga moneyline + tease UConn to -8.5 would have eked out a small profit.

No the apps give you it instantly. I’ve done it a few times. Most recently with DraftKings. It must be a glitch but it’s been doing it for awhile now.

Good call. 5-1. If I call you out for missing then I have to praise you when you win.
