Lucked out last week on my parlay, so will go again:

Jamo 100 recieving
Jamo TD
St. Brown TD

For +1980

Then I added:

Detroit Defense TD
For +15800

Would have added a Detroit win, but the +7.5 is high for an NFL game.

I'm teasing detroit down this week, they should win in the trenches with a better QB...that's enough for me.

You need 3 TDs already for DET. If that happens, there's a really decent chance they'll cover.
 
Isaiah Likely OVER 3.5 receptions +110
Brock Bowers OVER 3.5 receptions -128

Parlayed together +239

Still getting incredible value on these two. I’ll keep riding their props every week until the market adjusts.

I don't want to sound like an old fogie, but I will. The only NFL betting I've ever done is that yearly Super Bowl checkerboard thingy at my office and normal redraft leagues with friends. How do I place these weekly player prop bets?

This is a rabbit hole you don't want to venture down my friend.

Yeah, I'm not really a betting man. Sure, I love fantasy football, but ain't in it for the money. I do crack up when I hear people betting on things like the coin toss.

This is good advice, given that you are almost guaranteed to lose money in the long run to the sportsbooks.

That being said, your EV on these is much greater than on something like a slot machine or lotto ticket, and many folks are just looking to drop $20 a week on some props to make the games more interesting and don't actually care about turning a profit. If that's the case and you want to just treat it as a small entertainment expense, the law that prevented states from legalizing sports betting was struck down six years ago, so now sports betting is legal in certain states. Depending on where you live there could be one or as many as 20+ legal online sportsbooks that offer these kinds of prop bets on every game. FanDuel, DraftKings, and MGM are the biggest names. Personally would recommend FanDuel as the one with the widest variety of options and most user-friendly interface.

Again, I'm not recommending anyone go into sports betting expecting to win money in the long run (you'll win some bets, of course, but in aggregate I promise you'll be down). But if you don't look at it as a profit-making venture and more like the cost of a movie ticket and a bucket of popcorn, I think it's fine.

Do sign up for all of them as they are very generous with new accounts. Use up all the free play bonuses and cash match deposits and than decide if you want to continue playing. if not, cash out.

always play responsibly.

Same. This past super bowl I won a ton of money, but when I went to cash out, because I took bonuses, i couldn't. I was required to make 5000 in bets before it actually became my money. Someone mentioned the rabbit hole. To make 5000 in bets on NBA basketball is a dark rabbit hole. I was spending time on players home away rebounds and assists stats. Countless daily bets. Reached my 5000 grand, cashed my money, haven't bet since. That rabbit hole looks me in the face every morning. I'm fighting it. Ha ha

Just know bonuses come with small print requirements to meet.

I’ve never had any on new customer sign up bonuses
 
I think the most common bonuses these days are the "money back if you lose your first bet" ones (which the industry had been calling "risk-free first bets" but no longer can because that's a lie). The industry has also moved away from giving "site credit" to giving "free bets" which are worth far less.

The catch with free bets is that if they win, you only get the winnings, not the amount of the bet back. So a normal bet, say you bet $100 cash on a team to cover the spread at -110. It wins, you get your $100 back plus about $91 in winnings. If you use a $100 free bet on that same selection and it wins, you just get the $91 in winnings. Essentially a free bet is worth about 65% give or take of its nominal value (you can easily convert a $100 free bet into ~$65 guaranteed in cash). So basically the "money back" promos they're offering these days are that - if you lose your first bet, you're getting something back that is worth about 65% of what you lost.

It's still mathematically a good deal and free money, you just have to know what it is going in.
 
My wife asked me to place this parlay for her last night:

Bo Nix over 0.5 INT
Boswell over 1.5 FG made
Kelce anytime TD
+525


My 49er game parlay:

Mason anytime TD
Purdy over 7.5 rush yds
Purdy over 224 pass yds
Purdy over 1.5 pass TD
+400
 
Isaiah Likely OVER 3.5 receptions +110
Brock Bowers OVER 3.5 receptions -128

Parlayed together +239

(FanDuel odds)
Likely at +114 now and Bowers at +102. Salty I didn’t wait. No way did I think the lines would get more favorable.
