When JC came back to Vegas he was telling me how his friends were playing blackjack min betting watching their stacks were getting worn down. JC’s strategy is plunging. This is where you pick a spot and throw your stack on the line. It leads to wild swings but you’re a casino’s worst nightmare because they prefer the guy who lets the odds eat them away. I took some JC strategy with me yesterday.

Rico Dowdle’s Good?

I sent this text to Adam and Evan at around 11:30.

It’s true I didn’t send them an exact bet but Adam and I are in a betting group on DK so we can see each other’s bets. Anyone else want to join?

Here were the bets I made yesterday. While Evan and I were watching, his 2nd half odds of 34 rush yards was going off at -110 which I also pounced on. All in all he won me about 3k yesterday and I lost virtually every other bet I made.

This once again proved to me that my instincts aren’t that far off and I should go with them more often. Perhaps this was a once in a lifetime call, who knows. Either way, the account is juiced up and ready to roll. Shockingly, I’ve been making money since I stopped wagering on golf. I’m also positive for the year now…barely. Looking back I only wish I was putting more on it because they don’t come around that often.

To answer how I knew to go with Dowdle? I’ve told this to people before, but only certain players in the NFL can run for 200 yards. It’s not a league where players accidentally perform. When I see these two games in the middle, I know he has that IT factor.

Chuba Hubbard was out those games, and he was back, which was why Dowdle’s odds were inflated. I read somewhere that the coach knew they needed to give Dowdle the ball more. With opportunity, comes the bets. It happened to be a correct read. It helps when the offense relies on you as the Panthers have hardly any offensive talent. Call it a lucky guess and my new favorite player in the NFL.
