So this is fun (legalized WV sports betting)

[NDallasRuss]

I figured I'd give this a try tonight and see how the weekend goes.

It's going to take some time to figure this out, but the people taking my money are nice and helpful.

Man, once I hit this 10-team teaser, I'm gonna be set!!

One of the unique things about WV is that when you win a big one, they include a couch to burn in celebration.

And, strangely, my betting slips came with a bottle of oxy.

On a similar note , the gambling in Biloxi is hitting the ground running. Some friends went first weekend and said The Beau has done a great job in a short time.

Good article about it and why it is more important than WV gambling, because it is about the SEC, and the SEC just means more, even than oxy.

LMAO at this in the article:

Then there’s the payment. Local bookies run on credit, but at a casino, bets must be paid in cash at the time of the wager. Hall explained this recently to a man who’d spent the last 40 years betting illegally with a local bookie. “He didn’t understand,” Hall says.

I just bet $25 with a friend that the Redskins would not win more than 7 games.

How do you like my bet, Russ?

Careful Russ. This dude clearly has a crush on you.

That's cool, I can use the positive affirmation!

And as for my bets, I lost the TCU/SMU Over - I think the storms killed me., the Northwestern -2.5 or whatever it was - I was sure that Duke, as always, would suck, and Michigan minus some points. I hit on Georgia -10 and the Vikings -6.5. Tonight I have the Rams -4.5.

Strangely, my 10-team teaser and 6-team parlay didn't work out the way I'd hoped. On paper it seemed so simple!

I like it. I'd pair that with betting that the Cowboys won't win more than 7 games either. The Redskins suck, but I believe the Cowboys suck worse this year. They looked terrible - and not the kind of terrible like they had a fluke bad game, but the kind of terrible that needs a head coach and OC change, along with a bunch of new skill players...the kind that have skills.

FSU -3. You will win big with Cuse.

I play a couple of $1 10 or 12 team parlay's every week............I just do it to keep things more interesting. I've never hit and I'm usually way off, but twice I came within one game of winning ~$1500.

Well, at least the GM is solid.

I swear every first timer to Vegas hits a 4 team parlay and proceeds to think sports gambling is easy. Parlays are the devil's game.

I like to think that I'm WAY smarter than the average rookie, which is why I jumped straight to the 10-teamer!
