Betting on Sports

I assume so, but worst they can do is cancel the bet.

I’m going to bet it assuming it gets cancelled. The lines on longest drive for holes 6 & 8 are Bryson -200 Phil +140. Then for closest to the hole after tee shot on holes 2 & 7 it’s Bryson + 125 Phil +138. Definitely seems like a mistake. I’ll throw a few $ on Bryson assuming he outdrives Phil and hope the site pays out.

edit: it even says bet is void if everyone misses the green… hmm… what the hell.

Bets are still up on the site. Got screenshots of all my bets showing clearly “Hole 2”

That’s gotta be a mistake, but it’s been up for so long you’d think they’d catch it by now. Off the top of my head, on a hole that long the only shot I can remember getting that close is DJ’s in Hawaii a few years ago.

Uhhhh

Play bad, get there

The very definition of Play Bad Get There.

If DraftKings is going to advertise the shit out of this and put up lines for each hole, there should at least be a place to see which hole is which.

Did anyone watch hole 2? Draft Kings is calling this bet a loss but for that to be true at least one non Bryson player would have had to hit the green.

Rodgers hit the green, so Bryson hit the putt on 2.

They started on the Back 9, so the Golf Digest preview works if you just start on 10.

Currently fading Brady and Rodgers to hit fairways. They’re all over the place with the driver and are really trying to bomb it to keep up.

I did my fan duel first bet risk free today. They made me sweat it, but I knew the tigers offense wasnt up to the task. I gotta say, today was a good day.

That’s a beautiful sight. 'Grats!

If you want to maximize EV on these risk free bets, you should bet on higher +odds bets because you only actually gain from the promo when you lose the initial bet.

This big brain strat lost me $1000

I strongly considered this when I chose a -105 O/U instead of a -200 moneyline (which was what my normal comfort level with big bets was telling me to go with). There’s several more online sportsbooks in Michigan offering similar promos that I’m going to be hitting up with this in the coming months. I have plenty more opportunities to screw it up. But for now I’m enjoying the W.

So that $900 win finally gave me the confidence I needed to take on the $600 big bet challenge on DK. I went with the Padres -1.5 tonight because Tatis is my new favorite player. Snell was listed as the starter then pulled for injury. I was sure the bet would get voided but somehow it wasn’t. I couldn’t even hedge because other books had no line posted because there was no starter. Final score Rockies 2 Padres 4. I’m glad that I picked now to run hot. The $300 freebie is on tomorrow’s Reds game to go over 8. Yee haw.

What sharps have a good read on Neymar v. Messi?

Think draw is most likely but would probably back Argentina at current odds

Ugh, I had Jorginho as Player of the Tournament at +5500. Legit think he wins if he hits his PK. Brutal.

For those with DK and Barstool:

DK Odds Boost - o239.5 Total HRs in Derby +420
Barstool: u260.5 Total HRs in Derby -113

Can guarantee some profit and potential middle. DK had a o224.5 line for huge middle, but it got taken down. Don’t see anything back up yet.
