How did sports betting work before a whole bunch of states legalized it? Did you literally have to go to Nevada and place your bets in person?

you could find a local bookie, you could bet among friends, or you could use an offshore betting site like bovada

Every bar in the country has a bookie that lives inside of it. The more you know.

I wanted to parlay Indy(+3) and Jacksonville(+8.5) all week and it got to yesterday and I slept in and procrastinated. By the time I booted up the old odds site it was like 12:15 and Indy(-2.5) and Jacksonville(+7.5), still thought that was good value. Anyways gently caress that half point.

Did manage to go to Biloxi this weekend and only lost $30.

Taking a break for a couple weeks for my own sake, I'm pretty small time so being down $75 on the month is enough for me to go "hey, maybe don't refill that bovada account this week"

If you wanna do parlays all the time you'll end up like simmons and cousin sal lamenting the one that got away 9 times and the 10th pays out and then you go see this is a great idea and keep going

i'm personally very good at having a gut instinct bet that i talk myself out of for more rational, reasoned bets.

guess which ones consistently win and which ones dick me

I think your rational bets are consistent winners, and that your gut instincts that you talk yourself out of are the rest. Is that correct?

yeah sometimes I overthink myself into making the wrong choice, should've just gone with my "gut". That's probably a false perception and it happens just as much the other way though, I mean guts don't know anything, they just absorb food

i quite literally deleted a $60 bet on the chiefs to cover -7 standing at the betting kiosk because it was "rash" and spread that money out on a few things and ended up losing $30 on the day

Went back to basics and took Cowboys, Patriots, Colts and Green Bay on a money line parlay because the betting site was doing a special, bet 4 teams and get your money back if you miss one. Only got 2:1 but it’s a win.

Don’t know much about gambling but if this bettor hadn’t included tonight’s game in this parlay, how much would they have won? Half?

Less then half but spoiler no offshore website is ever paying out 500k.

I'm surprised a website would let you do a 20 game parlay. I'm capped at 12 here.
