    Not telling you how to live your life, sports betting and fantasy football was not how the game was meant to be consumed and it is ruining the game. People thinking they are Henry Hill or an NFL GM because they won a fantasy league.

    I don't do fantasy football and don't gamble with my own money. Hell, aside from a bet with a friend or buying squares on a SB board this is the first time I've used sportsbook apps. Did DraftKings first. Lost the $300 bonus bets and my initial $20 deposit. Deleted my account with them. Then did Fanduel and turned their $200 bonus bets into $650 profit plus $20 back from the DK loss and initial FD deposit of 25. Withdrew that and closed account. Did Bet365 next, turned their $200 bonus bets into $240.85, with a deposit of $60. Current balance $312.94, so $252.94 free money, withdrawing today and closing after. Have ESPN Bet currently waiting on tonights game between Tampa/Detroit to finiah, deposited 25 with 1 outstanding bet and current balance of $75.66, could be 142.99 when I finish.

    So out of pocket deposits totaling $105, $953.60 in pocket and $105 returned as initial deposits, could possible go up to $1006.03 pending tonights game, or $938.60 in pocket if it loses as I used $15 of winnings to bet.

    I'll give anyone $105 if they give me it back plus $900+ extra.

    After that back to normal bitching and moaning :lol:

    I could never gamble like this with my own money. That was $800 in free bonus bets to get what I did.

    I only did this as a few people at work bet all the time, I don't have a stomache for it. I tried Draft Kings and didn't get a thing. Then hit on Fanduel. Biggest win was actually a cash bet, with a 100% profit boost promo though. After that I figured I'd sign up for more and only use the bonus money for new sign ups.

    Now I have to figure this out come tax time and waiting for all the 1099's or whate have you's

    No way I could bet every weekend, especially with my own money. Couple losses that made me think they rig it play calling to satisfy the books. I'd have ulcers and nervous breakdowns.

    It's definitely out of my system, kinda pisses me off though. My refrigerator went out Friday after a power outage, so everything I won and then some going towards that.

    I am all the way mad today about not going for two on the first Packers TD in the 4th quarter, do that and a field goal wins it even if the other team scores a TD rather than relying on a TD to win. If you never wore shoulder pads and coached you won't get that.

    Baker Mayfield is by far the most overrated QB in all of football. Congrats Jalen Hurts, you have been replaced.

    Baker is currently 6th in passing yards and completions and 7th in TDs in the league. He's only thrown 2 INTs on the season which puts him tied for the fewest amongst QBs with more than 200 pass attempts.

    The gist of the post was the same as the ones for Hurts and Love, needed Baker to throw for 250+ and 2+ TD's :lol:

    Don't use actual stats and facts, I also think he lost his best WR and both tackles. He was playing against superman!!!

    Is the NFL next for a fixing bust? I am so glad I am smart enough not to gamble. What a con job.

    I may mock the vikings but I am a Minnesota sports fan and this week has been a typical week. Vikings lost, Gophers got kicked, Wolves lost to the Lakers and the Wild are playing like the Mild.

    The Rodgers experiment is over. Steelers don't need another receiver, they need a coaching staff that can unite the team on both sides, play to each others strengths and support their weaknesses.

    Send Rodgers to the bench and play Howard. See if he is worth the time and effort to build around or not. The Steelers cannot beat quality teams, amd another one looms next week with Indy.

    At least it is deer season.
