The Rising Sun (Fork of Degen Corner and SN Bets)
There is a place on Stacker News
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one
A bit of a rollercoaster week for me in the betting game. Started hot hitting my parlay and a moneyline bet on Monday Night Football.
I rolled some of my MNF winnings into a futures bet on the Dodgers to win the WS, which is looking good so far. We will see what happens now that the series has shifted to NY.
I lost my 100% profit boost on the Raptors to win their opener against the Cavs but I knew that was a bit of a longshot. However, I rebounded with a big win on the Celtics to cover a large spread against the Washington Wizards. This put me up pretty significantly for the week (relative to my betting size) but foolishly I gambled a big chunk of it on the Bucks moneyline to beat the Bulls, which did not occur.
Things were looking bleak and I was just slightly above even for the week heading into Saturday but I hit on a small CFB parlay, a small WS parlay and had a sizeable bet (for me) on OKC on the moneyline when they got revenge on the Bulls.
I had four bets on for Sunday NFL and won 2 of them. I lost both parlays (one due to Amari Cooper only getting 1 catch and the other due to Mason not playing the second half in the 49ers game). Fortunately, the first one was a no sweat bet, which I rolled the credit into the other one. Both lost but it was really only one due to the free bet. I did hit on both my bets for Dak to throw and INT and Brock to not throw an INT. Probably should have parlayed them but I didn't. All in all I ended up a whopping 44 cents for Sunday NFL bets.
Ultimately, despite the ups and downs it was a good week overall- thanks to Celtics and OKC. I was up $19 on the week. I have yet to make any wagers on MNF but I am sure I will at least do a small parlay. I will post it when I do the MNF live chat.
As noted, any and all profits I generate through my degenerate activities will be swept into Bitcoin after the NFL season ends.
Current Profit: $101
Sats for all,
