The Over/Under bet has been good to me this season (so far). It’s practically a 50/50 chance, right? In fact, there have been many low-scoring NFL games this season. Is it the defenses? Poor offenses? More importantly, what does it mean for future wagering? No worries… Let’s get right into the action for Week 5. […]
Never Bet the Farm3 [W4] – Pumpkin spice
Pumpkin spice season is upon us… Or at least that’s what the “coffee artist” told me this morning before I intentionally flooded the self-service bar with my free refill. (I’m not really my best in the morning before my plain coffee, especially when people talk to me, but that’s because I’m usually my best the […]
Never Bet the Farm3 [W3] – Closer, closer
Closer and closer… This has got to be the week, right? I went 4-2 last week, and although I rarely look back in my betting life (wish I followed the same principles in my dating life), I think it’s important to point out my undefeated professional picks. Got let down by those darn college kids. […]
Never Bet the Farm3 [W2] – Underreaction
An underreaction. It’s really the only way to combat the yearly Week 1 overreactions. They come every season, at this same time, to confuse everyone except the oddsmakers (somehow). By underreacting, you take the power back (which is everything in a relationship – just ask my ex). It’s important to know this dynamic, but the […]
Never Bet the Farm3 [W1] – Bets Same Age
The thing I like about sports bets is… I keep getting older, and they — well, they don’t really have an age in the first place. I mean there’s an age requirement for you to gamble (of course), but the wagers don’t really apply to that. Regardless, it’s the start of the NFL season again. […]
Never Bet the Farm2 [W17] – Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! And like a bad record on repeat, people have already begun to ask if I have any resolutions for this year. Why would I ever need to change something about myself? I’m awesome! I know it all! The gambling gods are the ones who need to start making some resolutions now, and […]
Never Bet the Farm2 [W16] – Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to each and every one of us. Well, except the refs. And speaking of Christmas… All I want this year is a winning parlay ticket. Well… I shouldn’t say that’s the only, only thing I want. But I mustn’t be crude. Tisn’t the season. So, without any further delay, let’s get right into […]
Never Bet the Farm2 [W15] – Postponed?
Postponed? Huh? What do you mean? I thought that wasn’t allowed this season. There was a big team memo sent out to everybody and everything. Eh, I guess things change… Even the rules themselves. Not only did the NFL move specific games around to help those dealing with positive tests (a clear sign the fix […]
Never Bet the Farm2 [W14] – Focus
Focus is the key. Always has been. Life sometimes helps narrow that for us. In this case, the college football regular season is coming to a close with the annual Navy-Army game (which you know all us degenerates are betting on), so I’ve got fewer spreads to weigh in my mind this week. It allows […]
Never Bet the Farm2 [W13] – College Football Playoff
College Football Playoff time is here! And you know what that means… Somebody is getting screwed out of an opportunity somewhere. It will all be much clearer after Sunday. Just wait and see. Now speaking of fixes, Never Bet the Farm2 needs to fix this losing streak and turn the gambling season around immediately! It’s […]
