I rarely post my gambling wins because my losses outweigh any reason to celebrate wins. However, once in a while I hit a game on the nose and last night it was the Bengals – Steelers game.
Last week I told Evan it’s criminal JaMarr Chase anytime TD is +175. He’s still the best WR in the league and Flacco is better than Browning. I took this same feeling going into last night’s game that the Bengals will be a better team with Flacco as the QB. When betting these Single Game Parlays, I like to tell a story of how the players are going to get there. In this case, the Bengals are home, Chase Brown isn’t reliable, and Flacco will pepper Chase with targets. If they can win the game, Warren will come along with some receptions as the Steelers play catchup. That’s how I built this bet of Chase anytime TD and over 110 yards, Flacco over 270, and Warren over 25. I narrowly missed the second bet with Metcalf being unable to get 80 yards.
The 2nd part of bets involved Noah Fant. From prior years I know he’s an athletic TE and I was aware Mike Gesicki is out. In my pea brain, I thought he had a chance to score a TD so I luckily put these together. Boosts from DK are undoubtedly the only way my account has a chance to stay positive. When they give you 50% boosts, I like rolling the dice on a bit longer shots.
That game won me a little over a K which now puts me down 16k for 7 years of betting. I’ve also unsubscribed from my golf guy so I am no longer betting on golf like I was. Identify a hole and plug it. It’s wild I’m a profitable bettor without golf.
The Feeling
I’m not sure how much more money I lost in the market yesterday, WAY MORE, but winning these bets feels significant. To me, I did it. I proved to myself that with minor research, I can string together a few narratives that come to fruition. This idea of controlling the future so that you win is a powerful motivation. I don’t care about winning the money. It’s insignificant. The lift is an understanding that I can use this money to try to do it again. That’s an addiction. But, if it’s not negatively impacting my life, does it still qualify as an addiction? I’ve thought many times that every part of life can qualify as an addiction. My thrill is spinning these webs that other people can’t see, of course, all of this in my spare time. My primary life with work, I gamble in different lights. This hit though proves it can be done and my formula for how to do it isn’t that far off. I do believe there will be another strike of bigger magnitude in the future. This sounds dangerous, but I need to believe in myself more than these so called “experts”.
