    And so week 7 -

    This has been a pretty tough week to pick like a few dogs and think there will be some upset here. Initial take on the spreads as follows:

    3 Unit - LA Rams, Bills, Redskins, Vikings all moneyline

    1 Unit Accy & 5 folds - Rams +3, Bengals -9, Bills -3, Vikings -2.5, Raiders +2.5, Ravens ML

    5 Units - Bengals, Chiefs, Patriots, Falcons

    I've also made some Division bets:

    To win Division:
    5 Units Titans @8/1
    10 Units Chiefs @7/4
    2 Units Redskins @3/1

    1 Unit treble on the above three

    One bet a day for 7 days to try to turn 150 into 1000.

    Bet one tonight: Green Bay and Cubs double 150 @ pretty much evens.

    This one wins pretty comfortably - Return 308

    Not sure if there will be a bet tonight I havent seen anything that stands out as being worth a punt but will keep scouting.

    Very rough week, losing every bet in the NFL:

    Bank 1443.50 - 130 = 1313.50

    Second challenge :150-1000 current - 308

    Bet tonight - 158 - Cleveland to win vs Cubs


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,380 ✭✭✭The Reservoir Dubs Anchorman


    Second challenge :150-1000 current - 308

    Bet tonight - 158 - Cleveland to win vs Cubs

    Easy win in game 1 - 481.80 current bank almost half way there.


    Tonight :
    Titans -3 - 150 @10/11

    Titans to win between 1-6 points 5/2 - 31.30

    Tonight :

    Titans to win between 1-6 points 5/2 - 31.30

    Titans cover the -3 easily - Up to 586.36 , just over the half way point, probably should have stuck the 31 on the handicap as well but such is life thought there was some value in that line


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,380 ✭✭✭The Reservoir Dubs Anchorman


    First up the second Challenge:

    Current Bank 586.36 - Bet - Cubs, PSG and Benfica all to win tonight 386.36 on it

    NFL this weekend: Bank : 1313.50

    5 Units: Kansas Oakland Atlanta and Dallas all moneyline

    1 unit accy and trebs: Vikings, Cleveland, Cardinals & Lions - moneyline

    1 Unit on the accy and 0.5 units on ninefolds - Cardinals +3, Lions +3, Kansas -2.5, Patriots -5, Browns +3, Raiders M/L, Chargers +4.5, Falcons -3, Cowboys -3

    So the first loser on the second challenge with the Cubs failing to get it done. 200 left but with just one day and one bet left difficult to make this happen.

    Normally not a bet I would make however this is a group challenge and one of the lads I am doing it with is up to 750 so he will cross the 1,000 tonight more than likely. Therefore I am going with United, City, Arsenal, Spurs, Atl Madrid and Ajax .. if they all win I will hit the 1,100 mark.

    I'd completely forgotten about it. I hate beting on us sport as I wake up every so often and check Twitter.

    Pretty good weekend in all will update the log in the morning. Just something I spotted for tonight's games. Alshon Jeffrey's line is over under 70 yards receiving. I am going to hammer this with Jay Cutler back in the line up. I think the Vikings are susceptible to the deep ball and I think Jeffrey and Cutler can burn them. 10 units on Jeffrey over 70

    2 Units Jeffrey anytime Td
    .5 Unit Jeffrey to score a brace and.5 to score a hat trick .

    I still think the Vikings win but I do think Chicago give them a bit of a rattle

    Agree, have done it already. If you haven't backed it yet it is over 65.5 on 365


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,135 ✭✭✭Gregk961


    Agree aswell I think they might be overestimating the Viking secondary, Jeffrey is a top receiver. Also backed it ...at 62.5 in powers! Any more bidders??

    should have really returned something on this. PSG scored in the 92nd minute, bit of a sickener. Oh well.

    5 Units: Kansas Oakland Atlanta and Dallas all moneyline Winner return 393.20

    Not a bad weekend.

    Hi Anchorman, quick question and I know your staking has probably been covered earlier in the thread, but, how does 5 units on the ML return 393.20, I don't have the prices to hand, but I would have thought that would have been circa 9/1 or 10/1.
    Good bet, but not almost 80/1, that said, any win in NFL is impressive, I got a treble up at the weekend, because I accidentally picked the under in the Saints game, when I intended taking the over, it was an new mobile app which confused me, and I was cursing it until the last few seconds of the game, lucky, still, I'll take anything I can!

    One unit doesn't equal one euro.

    It looks like a unit in his terms is around €10. So he had €50 on that accumaltor.

    3 Unit Handicap Accy - Falcons -3, Panthers -3, Saints -3

    I hate the Packers, yes I do, I hate the Packers oh yes yes I do!!!

    3 Unit handicap Accy returned - 118 as the Panthers was a push, taking the early line on these was a massive bonus.

    I still hate the packers!

    Bank: 1873.90

    Tonight:

    3 Units 1st Quarter field goal

    1 Units Anytime TD Tyrod Taylor

    2 units anytime TD Jimmy Graham

    3 Units Seattle -6.5

    1 Unit Seattle to win by 11-16

    The importance of shopping around, I took 6.5 but 6 was available elsewhere, so a loss for me but hope some of you got the push at 6.

    100 on 105 returned would have been nice to at least get the push to make some real profit but I always say profit is profit!

    Bank: 1882.90

    Not something I would normally bet on but 1/5 on Hillary looks too Good to turn down.

    160 on Hillary to win
    20 on Hillary to win more than 53% of the popular vote at 10/1
