    So earlier in the week I made a $5 bet and made my moneyline picks. Yesterday morning a made picks with a $10 bet, not realizing I picked the exact same teams.

    I won the morning game, then won all the 1:00 games. Thinking I should just cash out and collect $500, but I decided to hold off and then all my 4:00 picks won. So here I am with the choice of cashing out for $1200.

    well I decided to leave my faith in the Bengals, absolutely on the edge of my seat during the game kept checking the cashouts as the game progressed. It went down to $700 cash out at one point before the Giants missed the tie up FG. I held off and decided to wait it out and low and behold the Bengals won and I was able to Cashout for $1649

    Now here is where I will kick myself in the @ss, I chose the Bills tonight and If I wouldn’t have cashed out and the Bills win, I would win $4000.

    I still can’t believe I was 12 for 12 in my picks, that rarely ever happens.

    I got all the picks in my pick'em if the bills win. But I will win like $30 as it is just a few guys at work for like $100 all season.

    I used to bet on the apps when they first came out, but FanDuel and the other sites are now illegal/blocked in my state. There is an app sanctioned by a tribe but I haven't tried it.

    Im kicking myself in the @ss this morning for cashing out before the game last night. I would have won the $4200 instead of $1650.

    still can’t believe I picked every winner. This coming week there is gonna be some tough picks.

    Hey guy, I usually just run up the Casino and place season bets on over/under or win totals. I see they have gift cards for these betting sites. I was thinking of getting one for small bets. My question: After I buy a gift card, do I have to download their app to my phone? Then put the gift card on it? Is the site easy to navigate? Wife not a fan of gambling. Is there a way to hide the app on a phone?? How do you cash out??

    Thanks for any info.

    I was sitting next to my nephew who has a gambling problem and trying to understand. It was Saturday and he was making bets in real time. When Penn State went ahead the betting line for USC to win got real favorable and he bet 200.00 on them to win like a second later after Penn State went up.

    Am I reading this right? You won $1,650 off a 15 bet and could have won $4,200?! Congrats. I wish I had your luck.

    yeah you are reading that right. I actually for some reason picked the same teams on a $10 bet and on a $5 bet. No idea why I done that. And yes I won $1650, but if I would have just held of and trusted the Bills to win, I would have won the total of $4200

    Meanwhile, I can't hit a 3 way parlay. I do the player prop over/unders and it seems to never fail that one of the guys I pick gets injured.
    I do ok just betting one team against the spread/ money line but those stinkin $10 parlays slowly bleed me dry.

    congrats on your big win!

    My neighbor told me that his friend hit a 6 leg parlay for over $29,000. Is this suddenly becoming Monopoly money or something?

    It's always "a neighbors friend" or "a guy my at my buddies job" when I hear these stories. I'm starting to think most are just planted rumors by the betting sites that keep suckers like me strung along. The sad part is, if that's the case it's working like a charm on me.

    In fact, just two weeks ago I heard second hand that a guy I know from my job site (no longer on the site) hit with the exact same numbers you just said. 6 way for $29,000. Not saying it's not true, but it seems like an odd coincidence.

    Your neighbor's friend wouldn't happen to be from West Virginia would he?

    42 years ago our first trip. It was an all inclusive at one of those places down there and I think it cost us the grand total of 1400.00. 7 days. Included airfare.
