Anyone have brilliant reasonings on the OU/NAVY game? Lots of transfer portal action causing OU to be depleted but they are still 2.5 fav....

I like Syracuse over Wash St, but thats not sure about -17.5 . However Wash St got hit by the transfer bug hard.

So many opt outs in the TT Ark I don't know what to make of that game.
 
Couple plays so far
Vandy ML. Best season in years should be capped with a bowl win.
TT/ Ark O51.5
Texas A&M -3.5. Lincoln Riley's teams have no heart.

I don't have a great feel on navy/OU. Navy isn't great, but OU looked flat out bad for a lot of the year.
I'm on the Vandy ML as well. Want to pull the trigger on Navy but leaning towards not betting. Should have jumped on it when Navy was +8. Trying to decide if I want to lay the points on Syracuse. Wazzou has no coaches or players left. But damn is 17 a lot.

Funny, Vandy is .500 and thats the best season in years... ? I would take the GT have a good season for them, esp taking UGA to 8OT. If they play half as well, they will blow out Vandy.

Def taking GT.

Too much chaos at OU, but I do want NAVY to win, just not sure if they can.
 
I'm gonna lean TAMU. Haven't pulled the trigger yet though as I haven't checked what each team has for opt outs and which one appears to actually be giving a sh** about being there.

That's why I lean towards the Aggies tonight. I'll probably try to parlay it with another game or two because I like to live dangerously.......

It's vandy. And they did America a favor and kept bama out of the playoff.

I vacillate on parlays, I get 2/3 consistently which means I get squat... So doing more straight ups. Then I see boosted % on a parlay and Im back in.
 
Hit DK King of the Court on Xmas with Wemby. Now I need to figure out what to do with a $222 free bet. Part of me wants to convert at around 70% but part of me wants to find a play around +200. Don’t trust bowl games. Third time I’ve hit this promo, but this is by far the largest bonus bet I’ve received.

Any stipulations on the free bet?

I was on the road by tip off so I missed a chance to place any bets on that KotC, but Wemby definitely would've been one I would've played.

Those Pts+Reb+Ast can actually be pretty easy if you pay attention to player trends. You don't just have to sweat about picking THE player that gets the highest total. I remember one night at the beginning of the season, I missed on the KotC, but went 3/3 on player combo bets.
 
I turned the game on right after Navy came back and tied it up 14-14. Saw they were wearing the Jolly Rogers uniform again. Immediately bet the ML. Great success.


April 1st, 1945, in Ready Room Three onboard USS BUNKER HILL. Stationed one hundred miles off the coast of Okinawa, Fighter Squadron SEVENTEEN would remember this day as the beginning of the invasion of Okinawa. The Jolly Rogers would participate in the invasion, providing air support for the amphibious assault and shore bombardment of the area. Fighter Squadron SEVENTEEN's reputation in the Pacific Theater was well known and the Japanese pilots feared the sight of their Skull and Crossbones emblazoned on F-4U Corsairs.

Ensign Jack Ernie and the other squadron pilots completed their preflight briefings and headed to the flight deck of USS BUNKER HILL to man their aircraft. Jack and his fellow pilots had already shot down over 100 Japanese aircraft, and anxiously awaited the day's opportunity to add more kills to their record.

Two hours later, however, over the skies of Okinawa, Ensign Jack Ernie's aircraft began losing engine oil. In an attempt to disengage from the fight with his crippled Corsair, Jack was attacked by two Japanese Zeroes. Without full power of his engine available, Jack was at too great a disadvantage. He fought valiantly, splashing one Zero before being overcome by the second. As his Corsair plummeted earthward, he made two transmissions; "Skipper, I can't get out!" followed by a short pause and then, "Remember me with the Jolly Rogers!"

For his actions that day, Ensign Ernie was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross. His remains were not recovered until many years after VF-17 had been decommissioned and the Skull and Crossbones insignia had been adopted by Fighter Squadron EIGHTY-FOUR. After it's commissioning in 1959, in an attempt to trace the history of its squadron insignia, the story of Ensign Ernie was revealed to VF-84 by Jack's family and, upon their suggestion and consent, Jack's skull and femurs were encases in glass and presented to the squadron, thereby fulfilling Jack's last request of being "remembered with the Jolly Rogers."

Although Ensign Ernie was a member of the original VF-17 JOLLY ROGERS, his legend remains intact with the current VFA-103 JOLLY ROGERS. As was a tradition in VF-84, Ensign Ernie's name is a permanent fixture on the VFA-103 officer's precedence list and social roster, and his glass-encased skull and femurs remain on display in the squadron spaces and at all command functions.

BAU Texas A&M pants pooping.

I lucked out for one win, at least, with Oklahoma rolling the dice and going for 2. That was a huge mistake because Navy wasn't winning in OT with that offense.

Decided to put it on an alt spread of -3.5 for the Hawks at +212. Hedged Mizzou +3.5 -220 on another book to guarantee $130 profit with some extra wiggle room to live bet without actually “losing”. Probably not the most +EV way to go about but a fair compromise with a game I will be invested in on Monday. If nothing else, I’ve paid for gas for an ice fishing trip in January. Not a bad deal for winning a $10 wager. 👍
 
My main problem is not taking profits. I just make bigger wagers instead & almost inevitably lose what I'm ahead.
This is one of the things the books absolutely bank on. I establish what a “unit” is and never bet more than 5u on a single play. Most of my bets are usually 0.5u or 0.25u. The last 5u bet I placed was on UK money line against Clemson and it didn’t work out so well. Bankroll management by setting parameters and sticking to them has helped keep me in the black. Awful cold streaks happen, but damage is mitigated. Parlays are super fun, but generally not profitable. So many times one -450 leg blows it all to hell.
 
I gotta stop betting NBA just because I have a parlay boost. I never watch it and DGAF. Although I did hit a 4 leg ML parlay last night. Missed on 2 others.

Still ended up 4.5U yesterday.

Today I'm on the over in the pop tarts bowl. I got it at 55.5, I see it's 58.5 now. Need to look at the rest closer.
