Reporting this strictly for amusement. I bet puny amounts, just for something to do, on our government-run Pro-Line betting.
The last 3 weeks in a row I picked the Giants and Jets against the spread. You have to get both picks right to win. And the Giants and Jets both covered the spread 3 weeks in a row!
Too bad I wasn't betting real money! I think I'm starting to get the hang of this!
Yeah, it's thinking like that that gets you in trouble...

Before last night's game I bet on the Phillies to win the Series - $5 at 2.45 odds. The Astros were only paying 1.45.
That's what's cool about our Pro Line service, you can bet such small amounts.

I just hit a parlay in a pretty ridiculous way. I had a parlay of Jokic getting a triple double, Anthony Edwards 25+ points, Timberwolves money line, Suns -2.5 Klay Thompson over 15.5 and the craziest part was KD over 31.5.. It was some random like $5 free bet DraftKings gave me and won I $345.
The craziest part wasn’t KD scoring 32 points. It was how he did it. After a bunch of weird moves by both teams, with 2.6 seconds left and Suns up 5 KD stuck on 30 points, for no reason the Warriors get called for a flopping foul trying to get KD called for a foul. Devin Booker makes the technical to make it a 6 point game. I assumed the game was over now. There is literally no way Warriors can win. The dude who got called for a flopping foul, intentionally fouls KD just to talk shit to him all the way up court. KD makes both free throws to hit 32 points. I hit my bet.
I can’t imagine the people who throw life changing money on this shit, I was stressed on a free bonus bet to win $345 lol.
In my mid 20’s a couple friends and I used to bet on the NFL and college football. We pretty much broke even or even won more than lost, but one Sunday, the 3 of us placed 26 bets and lost25 of them!!
I know, a statistical impossibility- almost!
2 of us quit betting after that, for good. The other friend doubled down on a Phillies game with Steve Carlton pitching, and he lost. He ended up working at the bookies restaurant to pay him back. He quit after that.

The comical thing about the gambling web site in my province is that it's probably the best-designed and best-functioning thing the government has ever done. It's a thing of beauty!
