showoff... LOL

If you bet on nba, I've hit a couple nice 3-point parlays the past month, +555 and +795.

Not usually my thing but after taking a 2nd round of profits out after SB, I left some play money in to use on sportsbooks promo offers on nba, ncaa, and soccer.

For NBA:
Grab 3-4 guys and bet on them to hit either 2 or 3 threes. Odds for each leg typically around -200 to -400, so need to pick a few players to get decent payout.

I try to start around +350 to +450 and most books offer regular 10-30% odds boosts these days to get it up over +500. Need ~20% hit rate to play for free, anything better is in the black. I'm mix/matching about 12-15 different players to build my 3 or 4 leg parlays, all the guys that attempt the most 3s and make the most 3s. My favorite recently is Donte DiVinccenzo for Timberwolves and Beasley (Micheal? Not sure) for pistons. Both are 6th man/7th man types, not starters, but they make it rain. I think them not being starters keeps odds decent on their lines too

Not sure if you guys knew this, but Ovechkin is close to breaking an unbreakable record, seems like he's pretty motivated to beat Gretzky in the same # or less games played if anyone bets on figure skating with pads
(Did i do that right @TREFF ??)

To hell if I know??

If you bet the +2 does that mean you think he will, or won't break it in the same or less? The +/-, points spread.. all that shit, it all seems like it reads completely backwards to what it really means.

All I know is the dude still has like 1200 points to go to catch the real unbreakable record, and I couldn't care less if he gets either one

That's the quote- a glorified figure skater.


But endless respect for 'The Great One'


Love the fact I grew up in the era that had Jordan, Gretzky, and Brady shortly thereafter. Too bad the MLB and strikes and PED's effed up the 4th one

Ichiro wasn't involved in any of that stuff and Ohtani is redefining what it means to be an MLB MVP, we've witnessed and are witnessing GOAT level playing in MLB, they're just the absolute worst at marketing their stars

Yea, but I've already lost faith in the MLB.. last straws of taking away defense, and making the DH universal- makes me not care anymore.
My goat will always remain Babe Ruth, and the greatest player, in my mind, that i got to watch in real time- probably Griffey Jr. or Bonds pre 2000.

Watched Ichiro, much respect, but I don't consider him worthy of that type of title.

Ohtani does make me wish that I could care, but I've tried, and it just re-ignites the disdain. He seems amazing.

I was running errands for the wife and didn't get to bet on Ovechkin record setting goal after telling a ton of people to bet on it

Well, it was -150. So the payout wouldn’t have been much. I missed it too. But even worse, DraftKings had a promo on it for positive money, and I missed out on it by seconds.
