    Just threw a small waterfall bet for Iowa State to win tonight, win the region, make the final 4 and win the championship.

    So dumb. Have Under 152.5 for Clemson/Arizona. After that first 5 minutes I almost just went for a middle at 142.5. Would have been a lot nicer

    I'm on Bama ML simply bc of 90% of the action being on UNC. I didn't think Bama would even make the sweet 16 with how they played the month leading up to the tournament but I'll always go opposite of 90% of the public.

    I'm sick, 100% intended to play Clemson and Uconn but got tied up and the office and missed tip. Now I'll play the last games and lose both.

    I don’t do much college basketball, but it’s time I begin my emotional hedge with Alabama. Either Alabama wins the championship or I win money. The closest casino to me doesn’t have Yes/No so I’ll have to use the Martingale system.
    Clemson +145 is first up.

    This shit is so annoying. I had been off bovada for like 5+ years but a friend convinced me it was worth going back to take advantage of a good deposit bonus that had a reasonable rollover. I stopped using bovada because of a few annoying/deceiving practices I noticed back in the day. My buddy assured me they were much more legit now...

    Well I deposited last week, tried to withdraw yesterday after having a good run. I didn't do anything out of the ordinary, just bet UFC, Tennis, Baseball. No casino games or any of that stupid shit. I basically 11x'd my deposit amount in 5 days, which was the result of variance. Anyway they are making me go through multiple layers of identity verification before i can withdraw, and sent me this scare message.

    Its just a word salad of stuff I didn't do. Can't wait to get off that site.

    Generally the only offshores I mess with are betonline, bookmaker, and heritage because they've never done anything fucky on a payout. Of course my hot streak of the year is happening somewhere else.

    If you bet baseball player props, you need to use this site:

    https://batters-box.com/ratings/hitters

    Every morning, check the hitter ratings, look at prices for the guys with blue (elite) matchups. Make prop bets accordingly.

    For example, today Rowdy Tellez had an elite matchup, and his hit prop was little more than a pick em. He went 2/4 with a bb and 2 RBI.

    Jazz Chizolm had a great rating and I took him over 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBis at -120... He went 2/4.

    Its not always that easy, but the site should definitely be your starting point. And please god don't only lock in 10 leg over 1.5 total bases parlays (had a buddy do that when I showed him the site and he somehow would complain when 7+ legs came home but not all 10).

    it is a good site, not sure I'd blindly bet it but it's good data

    Yeah I'm not saying just take all the guys on the list to have big games. Definitely do not use it to bet Aaron Judge HR props at +150. Just use it as a baseline when looking at prop prices. Just because a batter has an elite rating I'm not going to lay -300 for them to get a hit. Generally speaking the value is on the non marquee players batting in the back half of lineups.

    Whats funny is that since the weird cool off emails started coming I have gotten a little more cavalier with the remaining funds on the site because there is a chance I don't ever see the money anyway. And somehow I'm staying lucky.

    I've bet Jordan Thompson in this Houston Open Match three times, -165, +265, and +165. If it comes home I hope a risk manager somewhere in Curacao lets out an annoyed grunt.

    Welp this is awkward, if the circumstances were different I don't think I would have bet as much three times, but here we are. They made me do it.

    Not a recommendation, just an observation, the Dodgers team total has been set at 4.5 for every game this year. They have scored more than 4.5 runs in every game this year. Perhaps that has contributed to my run of good luck.
