Saturday night betting thread

[Tim Wakefield]

Don't know where to put this so I'm making a thread

I had to work tonight and most of my friends are out of town, so i grabbed a sixer of Tecate on my way home and put $50 on Tijuana +133 and $50 on Guadalajara -109 in the Liga MX. $20 on OVER 2.5 on both. You guys make any weird bets tonight? Also had Boston -123 because duh

Liga MX is fucking awesome but I'm pissing away the money I earned at work tonight. Tijuana is tied in the 70th minute and Guadalajara is losing 2-1 in the 60th Vamos chicos

5Dimes won't let me deposit with visa anymore so I have to use fucking moneygram or bitcoin what the fuck is this shit

[WhiteBoyHatcher]

Probably just you and Doc these days Wake.

I ran through my last deposit like 2 lbs of spinach and noticed I wasn't even entertained enough to watch the games I was betting on. Looking forward to my big $ FF league.

And this officially makes us on the same level. (Women's tennis at 2am)

edit: Fuck Fantasy football. Not doing a league this year. Rather bet on the games.

good times. All we needed was a blackjack table and roulette wheel in our dorm

Ha. I went through some years where I took that attitude. I'd have $100 on a game and be watching with a buddy in a free FF league and he'd be hyping up his shit guys who were going against my team and it used to make me ragey.

I actually somehow enjoy FF more now because there is a shit ton of money on the line and I can take it from the other guys in my league who I each hate in a unique fashion.

Sorry to hear that but I laughed at your metaphor. I'm gearing back up for CFB.

I love drafting in fantasy football but the actual managing of your team mid season is what sucks. free agency, people proposing trades until you tell them to fuck off, etc, etc. Picking up Atlanta's 2nd string slot wr doesn't get me going

[Tim Wakefield]

Guadalajara ties it up at 2 with 15 minutes to go. Come on

First game goes final

Tijuana +133 L
Tijuana/Necaxa O 2.5 L

Shoulda bought a bottle of El Toro and lit my money on fire with it instead of betting on these boners

[Dr. Strangelove]

Oh no Guadalajara won't do



I'm game to get the band back together

[Tim Wakefield]

Guadalajara draws with Atlas 2-2

At least the over hit. I made ~$130 at work today and gave back $100 on those cabrones. If/when the Ligers lose i'm only -$80

Got a feeling that ain't gonna happen this year. I hope it does. If not i'd settle for a gambling megathread to chill in during football games

[WhiteBoyHatcher]

We can do it. We have that board. I'm not running it though. Someone else wants to step up... I'm in.

Do you guys actually ever make any money? I mean over time...

Asking for myself, fuck my friend.

Lol fuck no. I'm pretty close to 50/50 i'd say, which makes me a loser. It's more fun than flipping a coin and it adds interest to shitty games.

I've made a boatload of money taking bets from friends though. House always wins

This is what I would expect to be the ususal. I'm not judging mind. It's all entertainment in the end. Just curious.

There is a secret that the casinos possess, a secret they hold and guard and prize, the holiest of their mysteries. For most people do not gamble to win money, after all, although that is what is advertised, sold, claimed, and dreamed. But that is merely the easy lie that gets them through the enormous, ever-open, welcoming doors.
The secret is this: people gamble to lose money. They come to the casinos for the moment in which they feel alive, to ride the spinning wheel and turn with the cards and lose themselves, with the coins, in the slots. They may brag about the nights they won, the money they took from the casino, but they treasure, secretly treasure, the times they lost. It’s a sacrifice, of sorts.

100%. Anyone who goes into any kind of gambling scenario - table games, slots, sports betting, poker - with any aspirations to make money....is fucking delusional. You might get lucky in the short term but in the long term you're not nearly good enough to make money and you're kidding yourself if you think you are. It's entertainment, period.

Conor McGregor wins by decision. Looking forward to the next chapter in the trilogy.

No one bets on MMA?
