Sports Betting

[Nhcris]

Starting this thread for folks that are interested in sports betting. You can share your bets here and we can all cheer for you to win big. You can also share your insights and strategies so all of us dummies we can all become rich! Or, as foamy says, we can get 3 hours of entertainment for a $10 bet :)

So, who is interested?

I’d love for someone to post some basic info about sports betting. All I know is that a parlay involves multiple teams. (I think).

That would be great. I'm a sports fan but always too intimidated to try betting.

Hhh I’m in a football pool where you pick one nfl team who will win each week. The person with the most wins wins the pool.

So far this year, I’ve picked the Pats every week except one (which was the one time I lost).

Been playing in this pool for over 10 years now, it’s a lot of fun and only costs $20 for the year.

I can help when it comes to baseball season. Bet the Pittsburgh Pirates to lose.

Only wagers I make these day are on golf. I have some buddies and we have a small weekly fantasy player league we play - just a few rules, but always includes the PGA and the majors/cups and about a third of the time the LPGA.

Did well wagering last year broke just above even (that's good considering the variance - best player one week can miss the cut the next week). IMO in laying a bet, its a very long shot to bet and pick a winner - the way we have found you can come out ahead is to place bets on the daily player pairings (for example, it will have a number of players paired for that day's scoring: Rory v. Brooks or Bubba v. Phil or Lee6 v. Lexi, etc, whatever they choose to pair - and there will be many). Each evening/morning these pairings will come out on the sheets - about 6 to 10 pages of this stuff. Tough to go thru it all with a hangover. Whoever is in a location to place bets will photo text the pages to the others and you will review and send your picks for whatever days and settle up after all wins/losses are completed. Usually, not large bets - typically about $10 per pic and usually less than $50 per person per day, but can add up if several guys want same bet. I've even mailed the wager slips into the casino to get paid and so far payment has been mailed back with no issue.

Also, choosing where to bet (i.e. casinos in LV) the different properties may have different spreads and exactly the same bets so sometimes its worth it to research that out; other times the different spread amounts to a mere dollar or less and may not be worth the trouble to travel to a more favorable book.

I never even thought about betting on golf, but I guess everything is available to bet on these days! That sounds particularly complicated, but it must be pretty satisfying. Let us know how it goes as the year goes on.

With the Pats having a bye week, I was thinking it would be fun to bet on a couple games to make it interesting. But alas, there is no sports betting within 2 hours of me, so that's not happening. BUT, I did some research and just realized that NH has passed legislation to legalize it here in the state (although my stupid city voted it down). Apparently there will be 5 brick and mortar locations in the state and they are giving out 10 online licenses. We should be up and running before the Super Bowl according to a few articles. So, it's time for me to get savvy!

Best part is, our governor is laughing his ass off at Massachusetts because they are fighting over so many minuscule details, just like they did with the casinos, so it is unlikely they will pass sports betting anytime soon. So NH will be raking in MASS money just like we do with liquor (NH State Liquor Stores are cheap) and retail (no NH sales tax). Massachusetts governor is the same knucklehead that woke up one morning and put a ban on selling vapes in Mass with less than 24 hours warning. So our Vape stores are also booming while the ones in Mass have all closed down putting people out of work and small entrepreneurs out of business. Thanks Charlie Baker, you are great for New Hampshire!

Well, Sports Betting officially became legal here in New Hampshire. DraftKings got the contract. Governor Sununu placed the first bet today, and we are up and running. Still no brick and mortar locations, but apparently there will eventually be 6 of them.

I am not sure I trust myself with any online gambling. I don't want to follow in our Fearless Leader's footsteps :) But, I may just limit myself to special events like the Derby.... We shall see.
