Texans +8

Panthers a bit inflated, and 8 is way too much for a total of 43.  

In Mills we trust.
Grabbed some +8.5 and some +310

I’ve been wrong about them every week so now that I’m picking them to do something good I’m sure they’ll lose by 20+
 

I’m just not sold on Darnold and the Panters being that good.  Let’s face it they beat the Jets and a Saints team missing most of its coaches.  I think Darnold may actually be OK but I definitely fell like this is a game where Houston pulls and upset 

They whomped a ####ty Jags team they were expected to lose to and mostly hung with Cleveland in a game they were almost 2 touchdown dogs

 
Gambling has been dumb for two days, but recent results indicate a possible turn. Evaluate my Texas/TT over 62.5 in that light. I will be in the Circa book by 9 AM, worth doing once. Lol.

 
What happens with a season long prop bet, let's say a prop for MLB home run leader, and it's a tie for leader?

Does the book pay half? None? Whole amount?

Assume the bet was made at a US casino.

Yeah almost surely dead-heat rules.  Meaning if your guy was 20-1 to win and tied with one other guy they'd pay you 10-1 plus your stake.

 
Today's entry in the donkstakes is a four-team, six-point teaser, AZ/BAL/CLE/MIN. :oldunsure:

Sunday night prop leans appreciated. 

Eta: first three are -1.5, Vikes are +8. Pays 5/2.

Strange year.  Most years I win some Saturday, give it back (and maybe then some) Sunday. This year is the exact opposite.  Stinking in CFB, winning in NFL - and teasers are certainly helping in that.  Just weird.

 
Pollard over rushing 32.5

Lamb over receptions 6.5

Cowboys/Bengals Wong Teaser

Niners/Cowboys Wong Teaser

Cowboys -3.5 (square AF, but whatever)

No offense Trip.  I'm certainly not awesome at betting.  But I don't think Cowboys fit into "Wong" tonight at all.  Am I wrong?

Mathematically you'd rather it be +3, but I was so confident they would cover I played them with a few teasers.  There are some that theorize that just getting past zero on one team(a favorite) is profitable for wong teasers if your handicap strongly disagrees with the public line...I had this game at Dallas -6.

I went 6-3 in the Circa book this trip, including a teaser and a ML at plus money. Sunday was the best full day of watching football with financial interest I've ever had. 

All other forms of gambling have been the Red Wedding. Taking my last C-note to the bar for video poker and "free" drinks, because winners never quit and quitters never win. 

 
Ipswich Town / Doncaster - Ipswich ML / o1.5 +112 at Barstool. England League One.

Ipswich is getting a few key players back today and should win even if they don’t feature. Ipswich scores and concedes, Doncaster doesn’t score much but also doesn’t concede much for a bottom team. That said, if they do manage a goal it’d be against Ipswich. I was tempted to increase the payout to o2.5 goals but Ipswich has actually played a lot better defense the last couple of matches so they might be figuring things out there.

Again, not to be argumentative: I believe using the term "Wong Teasers" implies that you take the dog up through 3 and 7 or favorite down through 7 and 3.  You wouldn't cross 0.  So in my opinion you played six point teasers that included taking Dallas through 0, but they weren't the Stanford Wong variety of teasers.

2-0 Ipswich 31 minutes in. Looking like I could have bumped this over to 2.5 but at least now all I have to worry about now is Ipswich not screwing this up.

Understood, with that definition you are correct.
