I put $100 on bodoglife.com/sportsbook
They gave me a 10% bonus to deposit money, $10
I placed $100 on the Packers to win over 7.5 games with the chance to win $120
I placed the $10 on the Packers to win the NFC North with a chance to win $55
In total, I had $110 worth of bets with $175 worth of rewards. I just cashed out $285 on a $100 deposit after you include the $10 that they gave me to make my first deposit.
It's kind of a pain to cash out. You have to jump through a lot of hoops, but it was an overall good experience. If anyone is wondering about a trust worthy site to gamble on, bodog is pretty good.
I don't see me betting on the Packers next year. I'm sure the line will probably be high. I just can't bet on them winning that many games. I do think the Vikings are a good up and coming team. If their line is around 6.5 I'll consider betting on the over for them. If the Lions have a high line, I'll consider betting on the under. I'd consider the Jaguars for the over if they're underrated in the betting line. I'll consider the Titans if they're underrated. I guess I'll have to see how it plays out.
We'll see. I'm going to keep close records. As soon as I realize I can't win, I'm done. I do think I can be pretty good at sports gambling, but so does every other degenerate gambler. If I ever get to a point where I've lost mroe than I won, I'm done. I'm up $185 right now, so I have a little play. Anyway, just thought I'd share my whole online betting experience. It was pretty fun.

Haha, I'll pay ya bulldog. A lot happened where I wasn't feeling as good about it a week after I made it, but a loss is a loss and I lost :(.
Bankroll management. Betting on sports is fun just keep it low, wager $10 a peice on a couple of games a week, if one comes through you broke even. A 3 or 4 team parlay pays like 12-1 wager $5 to win $60. I've been going a few years off my only $100 deposit and I cashed that out after doubling it.Packers have been a real good bet week to week this year. What good is money if you cant have a little fun wagering it :D

Nick, you did pay me if you put that $20 bill in the red kettle like we talked about.

The preseason bets on wins are usually pretty easy to clean up on...but you aren't going to become a millionaire by doing it.
The problem with gambling is that it becomes addictive. You are fine when you just stick to making a couple bets a year...but after winning a couple times, most people start thinking they can make a mint and start betting on things they shouldn't be betting on...like the NBA or something stupid like that.

Those that lose usually say they "broke even".
I bet the preseason odds of the Packers making it to the NFC Championship game was high. That would've been a good bet that could pay a nice return.

I believe the Packers beat the spread 10 or 11 times this season and that placed them right at the top in the NFL in that ranking. They even got it done late in the season with dbl. digit spreads and that's very tough as most teams are suffering adversity.

Watch out for line bets man.
The system up here (under Lotto Quebec ) allows one to bet 3-4-5-6 games with $5 increments (up to a $100.00) on bets to pay 5X -8X - 15X and 25X respectively and the spread is set down by Vegas. The crooks set it so it can go either way.
Very tough to get a win as the season progress's on line's 4-6.
