Now that sports betting is legal in Ohio, is anyone into this trend? If so there are some great deals on various sites to get you sucked in. It has actually got me enjoying the nba again. I have been winning plus playing with basically free money so that always helps.

I don't gamble. But opening up the avenues one can use, make it easier, more convenient, will carry blessings and curses IMO.

I haven’t touched it and don’t plan to.

Casinos don’t lose money long term and I know myself well enough to know I’m at risk of getting sucked in. Not gonna do it.

I've been doing it online with the offshores for a long time, so I welcome it coming onshore. So much easier to get money in and out and not having to worry about the weird entities that show up on credit card charges. My only complaint is that it's state specific, so if I'm traveling I need to revert back to my offshore site or set up a separate account in the state I'm traveling in. So it's not perfect, but it's a huge improvement.

Yeah, I was doing the same, but the quality of bets is much better imo and easier to set up parlays.

Yeah, I get that but if you can control it, it definitely adds a level of interest. I set a budget, so far it has worked out, but I get how you might be worried about getting sucked in.

Wanted to brag as I picked every MLB game right last night except the early one which I didn’t pick. Pretty decent win, overall gambling has been fun, and brought in tax money. I think it is a net positive.

Also, if the wife limits your gambling you get a free dollar a day on getfliff.com. It is mainly for fun, but I won over $5000 this year due to the fact I would never place a bet like this with my own money.

You win both of those? If so, that's a pretty nice haul for a single evening. I do well with it for a bit, then once I get 5-6 hundred in my account I start getting brave and placing better bets. Then I take a break for a couple months. I enjoy it also, just like anything else, you have to do it in moderation.

Yeah, hit all the games. I am braver on that site as well because it is free money like tonight I will place a 250$ on the Reds but my budget for like FanDuel and such is a 100 a week so it is mainly for fun as well for me. I hit decent every once in a while but overall I think I mainly break even but on getfliff it all is free money so that’s the positive.

I might have to check that one out. I've only bet using draftkings so far.

Yeah, if you are into ladder betting or just want to place a crazy parlay it is pretty fun. Highest I ever made it to was $1200 from a dollar stacking bets. Another thing if you are in Ohio you can’t add money you get $150 when you verify and then a dollar a day. Like I said not the greatest site, but if you are a smaller gambler like me it is pretty decent.

Just started this week. Someone from work got me started.

I can see where people get addicted but there are some really crazy promos right now for football. Spend $5 and get $200 in bonus bets on Draftkings and FanDuel.

Casinos alone ive just used the new user credits and brought in $300 to the good.

Here’s a list of other promos. There are plenty out there. Bet365 has the 5 for 200 deal as well while Hard Rock Cafe has 5 for 100.

Kentucky and Southern Miss decided to stop the Cats' opening football game in the 3rd quarter last night.

If you bet on that game's total score or if it was a shutout on one of these sites, what happens? Do they treat it like a normal game?

I think that bet would be voided. On Draftkings if a game becomes "official" the "money line" still counts, but if it's an over/under that bet is voided. So my guess would be the bet would be voided.
