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
Big week for me. The best way to describe it would be to quote NBA JAM "He's heating up".
Started and ended the week hot with a bit of a blip in the middle due to a couple NBA upsets. However, the losses from those upsets were mitigated by a dominating second half performance from OKC.
Here's how it played out:
MNF I hit both a small parlay and moneyline bet on the Steelers. Starting my week with a $12 profit.
I lost a small parlay in game 4 of the WS but won a moneyline bet on the Dodgers in game 5 and hit my futures bet on the Dodgers to win the WS I made before the series began. This netted around $5 profit for MLB this week.
In NBA, I hit a small parlay in the Mavs/TWolves game and a small second half spread bet on the Nuggets to beat the Nets by more than 2.5. Things were looking good but I lost about 70% of my weekly profit on a bet on the Celtics to beat the Pacers (didn't happen) and took another hit on the Bucks losing to the Grizzlies. It was looking like it would be a pretty flat week but I picked up a big win Friday when I bet aggressively (by my standards) at halftime on the Thunder to beat the Trail Blazers by more than 6.5. They did. That boosted me up to a profit of around $18 for the week.
I stayed hot hitting a CFB parlay and a parlay in the Raptors/Kings game. Small bets but another few dollars to the weekly bottom line.
On Sunday, I lost my early game parlay but I hit on a moneyline and a halftime spread bet on the Vikings. I used my no sweat bet from losing my early game parlay to bet on the Mavs -6.5 over the Magic, which also hit and recouped almost all my stake in the earlier losing bet. Ultimately I was up around $5 for the day.
Overall I was up about $26 for the week.
At the end of the NFL season, whatever profit I have earned will be swept into Bitcoin.
Current Profit: $127
Sats for all, GR
Almost forgot to forward sats.

I also forgot to forward 620 sats to @Undisciplined ;)

I assumed you had allowed @grayruby to disqualify me.
reply
I'm sorry @grayruby. I couldn't hold on to the sats I committed.
Take your sats @Undisciplined.

What's shame in it? Forgetting is the most wonderful trait humans have.

Once again I am waiting for the episode’s release!

If we are doing a spinoff we have to do KAT corner first.
The people demand it.
reply
That might have to come after we figure out how to incorporate video. It could be like Shaqtin' A Fool, except it would only feature KAT (as opposed to only featuring JaVale McGee).

You're inspiring me to start putting bets. I'm not against betting but somehow I'm yet to hit this path. Although, I made a good amount (+10k USD) on fantasy Cricket back in 2016 and 2017 without investing a single penny. But fantasy Cricket isn't betting or is it?
reply
That's impressive. Is fantasy cricket similar to fantasy football?
reply
Yes. It is the same. You need to pick 11 players out of both teams and select a captain for 2x points and a vice captain for 1.5x points. Enter in a legue and that's it.
reply
Sounds fun
reply
It is. Do you wanna give it a try?
reply
Yes I do. IPL fantasy league here I come.
reply
Start from Big Bash League or you can also start from international games which are rather more predictable for player performances.
reply
I thought it might be easier to just follow one league but if you there international is good to try, I will give it a shot.
Don't be a fiat degenerate like @grayruby. Be a bitcoin only degenerate.
reply
We are shrewd wolves under the skin of dogs. We collect as much fiat as possible from the trash boxes only to burn it into Bitcoin fireplaces.
Wolves don't need preachings from dogs who altered their genes for living inside houses and eating bread.

OH MY HES ON FIRE πŸ”₯
reply
Are your fiat profits keeping up with bitcoin? You might need to pick up the pace.
reply
Good point. I started with 50 dollars. So far I am outpacing bitcoin but a couple losing weeks and a big Bitcoin rally and it could be dicey.
reply
Nicely done
I was 1-4 against the spread yesterday
