Vegas knows all.
Better hope the Patriots are resting players week 17...
Threw down 2,500 on the over 7.5 wins!
I'm in bad shape on Cleveland under 6 now. Best case scenario is likely a push. Same tendency, I should have bet the first half of the season under 3. If that were possible. Unfortunately it is not. I'm always amazed at how any type of wager I make will start out great, then fade to the finish. Thank goodness for first halves.
The Browns were 2-8 at one point but that was the worst they could have been, playing hard every game.
As I posted months ago, when these over/unders come out you think you should play something but once the season unfolds they are more of an annoyance. I'm ahead overall but most of the profit was during the '90s, when the numbers were softer.
I took four over/unders this year. I took the Redskins under 6.5, the Cardinals under 7.0, the Seahawks over 7.5 and the Jets under 8.5.
The Seahawks just pulled in their 8th win which makes me a winner on that one. The Cardinals just polished off their 9th loss which means the worst I can do is push on that one but let's face it, I'll be winning that one. I'm FAIRLY confident the Jets don't pop off three straight wins to catch me on the 8.5 but playing the Titans, Chargers and Bills does nothing to help my confidence there. The odds are with me...but I'm nervous anyway. The Redskins screwed me. I had them under 6.5 wins and they just pulled out their 7th win, so I'm a loser on that one.
I think I'll pull 3 out of 4 on those.
It's tough. It's really tough being that I wasn't in the financial situation to make the bet I made. I will come out of this with a stronger family. I almost lost my family for something so stupid, and I had to claw and fight to keep things okay. This is a lesson learned and I won't be taking risks like this anymore. Every day is another chance to turn it all around.
