The 2021/22 SB odds came out after the SB was played. I took the teams with the most covid cap free agency money and placed some small bets. I got New England at +4000. Down to +2500 and dropping. Cam should be much improved in 2021 as well. It's little bets like that, like betting on KC a year ago when Mahommed was injured and betting on SF in the NFC last year after week 2.... Small bets that have me doubled up in two years of betting.

Love the NE pick. They were 40-1...thats unreal to me. Cam was pretty good before catching covid and losing his only NFL receiver. They get 4 starters back from opt out, signed 2 TEs that can block and catch, signed deep threat WR (useful after pounding the run and dumping short to the TE), and get Edelman back as well. Yes, they might still win that division from the Bills who I'm sure are somewhere around 3-1.

WHAT???!!! Fuck you, Brandon!!!

Around this time last year I was in Green Bay to meet up for a drink with Harrell at the “Oval Office.” Stopped by a Green Bay branch of the Canadian bank where I deposit my minimum-wage paychecks, to cash out a check. Since I was meeting up with Harrell at a strip joint, I asked the hot teller for a wad of Washingtons.

Afterwards, I saw none other than ole Brandon waiting in line, a-holding a thick blue plastic bag, presumably at the bank to deposit his gambling winnings.

I was like, “S’up, playa.”

Brandon noticed my wad, and asked, “Whatcha got there, peon?”

“Fruits of my labor,” I replied. “Hitting the strip joint with Harrell.”

“Fuck that motherfucker,” he said. “Say, how much ya got there?”

“209 frogskins, homie.”

Brandon looked surprised. “What, you make the minimum-wage? The system is failing you, bro.”

I nodded my head in approval.

Brandon smiled and said, “Say, why don’t you give me your wad and I’ll put it on the Packers at -669 to win the Super Bowl.”

“I ain’t no gambler, homie. -669 translates into what, homie?

Brandon was like, “It’s kinda complex. Don’t worry about it. I can confidently assure you that if the Packers win the Super Bowl, with your 209 at -669, you ain’t got to work again - ever. Retire somewhere exotic and live the rest of your life drenched in erotic amores.”

Brandon had me at erotic. I transferred the wad over to him.

Thanks to Aaron “Fumble in the Clutch” Jones, Kevin “Got Beat By a White WR” King and Matt “Surrender Monkey” (go for it, you fucking French coward!!!) LaFleur, I’ll never get my hard-earned wad back, plus the sumptuous profit of -669.

You entertain me. Maybe I should be ashamed of that fact, but I laughed. Of course the idea of Brandon winning bets BEFORE the game is played...that really made me laugh.

I got a giants pyramid

Over 7 wins, bet 31 to win 20 bucks
Win NFCE, Bet 7 to win 40
Win NFC, bet 3 to win 100


I'm really high on the giants! Danny Dimes is the real deal, second year in same offense, Golladay in, Barkley back. Real strong defense. They gonna win!

I enjoy watcing your bets
I think the first bet should occur and I like the 7 to 40 deal as well.

Not all NY'ers are as sold as Danny Dimes as you are; my friends is a fanatical Giant fan and he's luke warm on DD

And the last bet is $3 to win 100. I don’t have to hit on that at all. But If that team somehow comes together, that’s a sweet $bill$ at the end of the year to bump me in the winners column.

Two years ago I took out a long odds bet on the 49ers to win the NFC and hit it. I also had the chiefs in the AFC and the Ravens. But I hit on the chiefs and 9ers.

Last year I had AR to win MVP and hit on that at the end of the year.


This year I have tiny bets that pay big on Patriots, Giants and Dolphins. Those little bets where one hits and it bumps me up. I like those long odds bets.

[RashanGary]

I got in little bets before free agency and I bet on the teams with spending money in the covid cap environment. The Patriots and Giants both have a chance to do damage and I got in double value because I did those bets before free agency.

[RashanGary]

I just put $100 on there two years ago to see if I could win over time. I manage it like it were a big stack because I want to see if I bet big if I could win over time.

$100
$140 after year 1
$200 after year 2

I’m hoping to get up to 275 after this year. And maybe 400 the year after that. If I win for 4 straight years maybe I’ll add more money and try to make it profitable. 30% winning is nice if you have $100,000

My bets this weekend ($50 each, ATS)

Giants (-3) over Falcons
Patriots (-3) over Saints
Chargers (+6.5) over Chiefs
Bears (+7) over Browns
Pigskins (+9) over Bills
Raiders (-4) over Dolphins
Jets (+10.5) over Broncos
Vikings (+2) over Bitch Pigeons

I'll check back in at the end of the week to see how my wallet feels.

[texaspackerbacker]

Gosh, smuggler, you're gonna get poor IMO. I think you're wrong on all of those except the Raiders who should kill the Dolphins.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Is Harrell in the well? He hasn’t posted for in days.

[smuggler]

He's in the drip, yeah. I have his contact information, if anyone wants to include a message to him on a letter, just direct message me.

Tex, do you really think the Washington defense can't keep that game close? I bet 9 games, I would expect to win 5 or 6.

[texaspackerbacker]

Unfortunate about RG. I'm hoping they let him out early at Christmas. I understand that happens sometimes.

Yes, I think Buffalo blows out Washington by well over 9.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

He's in the drip, yeah. I have his contact information, if anyone wants to include a message to him on a letter, just direct message me.

Damn.
