Confidence: Sunday Gambling Preview

DoTB always starts the season on fire. Always.

Yeah, so umm 2-0 now after a ludicrous back door cover by UConn.   UConn was having the worst offensive day in the history of the school and then somehow went 75 yards on 4 plays with less than 2 minutes left, and ended up losing 17-14.  They had a total of 57 yards of offense (net) before that drive.

The Pic-6 at the end of the half was something to behold.

Well, Wake Forest covers outright and wins against Army, but of course, UNC gets blown out by ECU, so I'm currently 3-1 on the teases, but I lost the first one already by going 2-1.  Still have San Diego and the Giants tomorrow.

So I bit the bullet and joined Draft Kings. I entered three contests. It looks like it could be fun but I am assuming I'm going to lose every lineup I enter.

I ended up 5-1 on my Wong teasers, so I won one bet and lost the other.  Finished up .5 units in the end.  Not bad, but nothing to get really excited about.  JohnMd, I joined Fanduel a few weeks back because some of my friends are doing it, so it's fun to do with a group like that, but the larger site-based leagues are just ok.  After a certain number of players, you basically have to have the perfect lineup to win, which is like playing the lottery, so you have to play the smaller number of player leagues, so the money is smaller.  I haven't spent a whole lot of time researching it, but plan to put some effort into next week.

Wongs make money by basically breaking even a lot and then hitting a home run when you go 6-0 one week (hopefully before going 2-4 one week)

Have Seattle -4 and want to throw up

 

[Stitch01]

I am so happy right now

I am so happy right now

As am I! This was the kind of one score result I expected in the SB with SEA coming out on top. What a crazy ending to an exciting game.

That overtime game versus Denver ended me. I lost in my 3 contests b/c of Harvin, Wilson, and especially Marshawn Lynch. If Denver misses the 2 point conversion, I go 3-0. Instead, it's an 0-3.
 
So, yeah, I hate Draft Kings already.

Built teams around Brady and Aaron Rodgers yesterday so...yeah right there with you

It's fun, tho.
 
I would like it better if you could just play the 1pm games. And then just play the 4pm games. The Sunday night game makes it a pain. I wish you could filter out those prime time games. Maybe you can but I couldn't figure out a way to do that.

 

[Stitch01]

I know you can do 4 PM and after and just the night games, not sure if you can do just 4PM games.  I'll post if I figure that out because Id like that as well.

Yes, I saw you could do the 4pm games WITH the prime time games OR only the prime time games, but I didn't see a way to only play the 1pm games or the 4pm games. That would be cool, you could play some early games and chalk up some wins and losses.
 
Having to wait until Monday at midnight kind of takes the fun out of it.

Need Bears +8.5 tonight for a bunch of teasers and Bears +3 to hit a Ari +3/Sea -4/KC +6/Pitt +3.5/Chi +3 parlay at 19-1.  Let us Jets.
