Rookie question. I'm going to a casino (NY) today. One can place sports bets there. Let's say I win but am not around at the end of the game. Does one have to wait to collect until the next time you go to the casino?

You can mail in your slip if you win on the back of the slip.
Or you can wait till the next time you go there.
I never have mailed in a winning ticket because I would be afraid to lose it in the mail. But you can wait to cash in your slip if you win.
You don’t have to be at the casino till the end.
You just can’t cash it until you have a winner.

so my question on betting. say you like GB at +245 you bet $20 to win $49..
you clear $49

but if you bet $5 at the margin props

$5 at 1-3 + 900 for $45 you clear $20
$5 at 4-6 + 1300 for $65 you clear $45
$5 at 7-10 + 900 for $45 you clear $20
$5 at 11-13 +2300 for $115 you clear $95
$5 for 14-17 +2000 for $100 you clear $80

so unless you think GB is gonna blow the doors off
1 shot to be the same
2 shots to win a small amount less
2 shots to win a pretty good chunk more.

now if you think now way GB wins by more than 10
$10 at 1-3 + 900 for $90 you clear $70
$10 at 4-6 + 1300 for $130 you clear $110
$10 at 7-10 + 900 for $90 you clear $70

$30 at 245 to win $74

shots to win the same and 1 to win more.

Chiefs and 49ers tease is the best bet IMO.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

FREE MONEY ALERT ..

everyone , get your money down on the Green Bay money line ..

the chiefs are holding up their end of my two team teaser .. meaning all I need is San Fran to win by 1.
Which means Green Bay will win!!!

Free money

i had so many bets in play let it was tough to know what score to root for

i had KC -7
KC teased to -1
KC winning first half at +200
KC -10 late
KC alternate line at -11-14 at +900
but i also needed the over 53..

that late Tenn TD got me in good shape but then it still made the last 4 min tough

all time humble brag post
wins five out of 6 bets ... most of them + odds

acts like he’s not sure if he’s up

 

[upperdeck]

i wasnt up. because if tenn scores i lost 3 of those bets in one play. but if KC scored the other way i lose the alternate line bet. should have thrown more at it to get over -21 bet.

thats why i play the line bets way more

only bet left is a teaser with GB +13.

i got GB in SB prop at +550 2 weeks ago so rooting for that but 49 might blow them out but you told me to bet against you so more money to play now

 

[upperdeck]

KC over GB Sb is gonna be +10 or so.

 

[upperdeck]

and i gave it all back..

 

[STEVEHOLT]

and i gave it all back..

You needed that garbage TD on the drive around 2:00

 

[upperdeck]

yup. had a shot but GB took the home run swing. was hoping for just a controlled drive which SFran probably would have allowed.

the 2 TOs hurt, as bad as GB played most of the game the one in the RZ really turned out to be big since they moved the ball the 2nd half.

 

[bpo57]

You just got the feeling that SF could have scored at will in that game. I knew GB was somewhat susceptible on the ground but that was crazy.

 

[upperdeck]

the GB ends played poorly all game against the run, constantly out of position, that first 3rd and long run for a TD really changed the game.

 

[djcon57]

Allllllll the money on SF money line for me. Waiting for it to go up a bit as I expect the line will go to like -2.5 or 3

I expect them to get an early lead like the last teams did with KC but they will be able to hold on unlike Texans and Titans.

 

[upperdeck]

the issue SF has is that if they have to throw they cant.

 

[djcon57]

Jimmy G threw for 349 and 4 tds to beat the saints in NO

its not like you can’t throw vs KC.

 

[upperdeck]

I agree but KC D has been much better the last half. SF has a real shot with the D and the running game.

 

[Alsacs]

Saints O torched Niners D.
Chiefs will score.
Question will be is can Jimmy G do what he did in NO.
Kittle gets time to get healthier.
Samuel will study what Edelman has done against KC.
Sanders will be good as well.
I expect a score in the 30s unless Jimmy G sucks then KC blowout.

I could see the line getting to KC -2 but very unlikely ti goes higher imo. Three would be out of the question unless there is a major injury issue.

 

[bpo57]

I don't agree with that at all. They have one of the best TEs in football and Sanders + Samuel are solid. SF didn't throw yesterday cuz it wasn't necessary.

 

[Arangeman]

SF and the Titans have basically the same offense. It comes down to can SF contain Mahomes? I don’t think they can.

(I also have a pre season 8-1 ticket on KC, may be biased)

 

[kirbivore]

system alert the unranked Florida gators are at home laying 2 against #1 ranked Baylor.

 

[Stern]

Does TURNING STONE, POINT PLACE, or YELLOWBRICK have any Super Bowl Prop bets? Or are they just taking bets on the game and over/under?
