Seen some posts in the Bengals thread which kinda got me thinking could probably devote a thread to it.

I started last year during football season when all of the books had really good offers. Actually signed up for NFL Sunday Ticket and used it to watch the Bengals-Chiefs game because our area had the Steelers on then canceled. FanDuel had a promotion then for it for two weeks free plus $300 in Bonus bets.

I started a new strategy last week starting on Thursday Night Football, betting three players at very low odds to get into the -180 to -150 range and kept rolling over every bet. Did all four windows Sunday (Ireland, 1, 4, and SNF). Won all four parlays that way and turned $20 into over $330.

Did the same thing this week. Bet365 had a promo for bet $25 get $50 in Bonus bets. Wasn't as successful but I did get $30 laddering David Montgomery which I'll use to start over with tonight.

I don't bet. I suck at it. Those big, beautiful casinos are built on the premise you have to have more losers then winners. ;)

I dabbled in the "free money" bets when it became legal in Ohio. I don't really care for it, the return just isn't worth the hassle.

Last bet I made was in Vegas, I went in with my 8 year daughter, $5 each on Elly to hit a triple in Coors Field. Needles to say that didn't hit.

I'm gonna keep hammering the under on Chase Brown rushing yards until it gets under 40 or so. This line can't block and the team is always playing from behind.

They keep setting it at the same pace. I'm gonna keep betting the under. (Maybe I'll jinx it this week and he'll run for 100+)

Probably not a bad read but the Steelers pass defense is truly awful. If Flacco can get decent blocking Chase might have a good game. JPJ on Higgins makes me leery.

That said I posted in the Bengals thread but I think they win tomorrow night. Money picks are going to the Steelers and Tomlin is 0-8 on Thursday night games. The last two weeks have been underdog picks so I think that continues.

West Virginia is the wild west though. You can bet on college player props where Ohio and Virginia are spread only. You can also casino gamble on your phone as well.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are 0-8 in road divisional games on Thursday nights since 1970. Under Tomlin, they are 9-11 overall on Thursdays.

Ohio State first half -14 felt like a gift.

Buckeyes 34-0 late 4Q.

OSU having trouble on the ground. UW has a tenacious defense but talent is winning the day. OSU will have trouble with Michigan.

I figure Wisconsin will score a TD on the Buckeye second stringers to beat the 27.5 point spread.

Anyone betting on March Madness?

Bet365 is running one of the best promos ive seen so far. If the team you pick goes up double digits it will automatically pay out. Great if you go moneyline and the team blows the lead, you've already won.

Gonna dive deep tonight for Thursday. Got some bonus bets to play with.

Just want to point out if you would have taken Siena (i didn't), $10 would have netted $560 with this promo.

You could have bet $3000 on Duke before the game to win...$10. I guarantee there's someone out there with like $300k on Duke ML sweating like a MFer right now.

You want to see the difference between the men's and women's tournaments in a nutshell: Maryland and Murray State are about to tip off in a 5/12 game in Ft. Worth, TX (so a very neutral site). The Terps are 30.5 point favorites over the Racers.

#1 UConn is a 37.5 point favorite over 9 seed Syracuse.

I just put $50 on UConn to win it all. +650 on FanDuel right now and that will probably go down by Saturday.
