Fair enough, Jerry certainly needs to get his act together.

House always pulls in. Everything else is like playing the lottery. Fun, but ultimately fruitless.
But that’s besides the point. These are lives at stake. That’s why the NFL needs a better plan or just cancel. Total dumpster fire now and we just hit August.

Well ill give you my bet for tonight:

$50 hou -162 pays $81.
$32 port +150 pays $80.

Promo boost: i get $3 for each 3 pointer hou makes (max $48).
Cant lose.

So then youre saying that all the peeps playing fantasy football are really just wasting their time ??

[Batman1980]

I think fantasy football is fun but also largely luck-based, this is one year I definitely don't want to play lol.

No.

Maybe cause im into horse racing where key to game is duck best comp & go to another race.

I agree, to a point. There's definitely a lot of skill in researching the teams, players, and betting in a manner that at least breaks you even when the uncontrollable happens (i.e injuries, DNPs).

The people who win the huge pots do it full-time. They are going over spreadsheets and analyzing match-ups, tendencies, schedule, etc. etc. to where it's essentially a full-time job.

As a casual, the best I usually do is keep my yearly $25 investment. I win a little, lose a little, and pretty much end up where I started.

The best I've ever done was the 2015 NFL season. That's when the Panthers were killing it. So, with my team in the mix, the head and the heart could both go for broke and get rewarded. That year turned $25 into $860.

Since then, with a few nice exceptions, it's been mostly treading water.

So basically Stafford had a false positive test, it’s was announced to the world and his family basically went through hell the last several days. Why can’t the NFL not report Covid news? Just say the player is injured. That’s what the NHL has been doing and it works just fine.
Never thought I would say this but NFL is just failing at, literally, everything.

Wow, with that epic haul you might be able to buy from the shelf just below top shelf.
Yeah most folks playing FF are wasting time.
I like how you gloss over the whole: what if someone gets seriously sick or loss of life? What wager covers that? Or let me guess degenerate gamblers would bet on that too?
League is joke right now. Too many years of being bulletproof is causing a lot of poor decision making that could put lives at risk. All for money.

[Rocky Road]

NFL and every other Sport, should wait till next year.

Toooooo much Virus stuff going around.

Raiders still have their Brand New stadium in Vegas.

And Vegas is still Pretty much shut down.

Also,

How long will it take before EVERY sport uniform, has Black Lives Matter,
on it ??????

OK so lost $2 on the bet but the kicker to it obviously was the bonus where hou made 19 3 pointers but max was $48.
So net profit $46.

Tonight:
$500 mem +180 pays $1400
$904 utah -182 pays $1401
mem wins net -$4
utah wins net -$3
But i get $50 bonus for betting $500.
So net = either $47 or $46

So thats almost $100 between last night & tonight.
Im on a site where people complain about $2 for a price match on a blu so $100 for 2 nights doesnt seem to bad.

If your saying its not alot how about i dont bet & you just send me the $100 to my paypal....since again youre saying its not alot anyways.

& since you keep bringing it up theres this IMO bad thing that happens to babies everyday so if thats legal im not gonna worry about other stuff.

& yea people bet on death -- you know that movie deadpool.

Enjoy the grind.
Sorry I would love to help you out, but you wouldn’t be learning anything. Have to blaze your own path. Take off the training wheels.
Of course there’s a lot of bad in the world, including a global pandemic. The difference here is the NFL has the ability to shut down, but refuse to do so. So now it becomes a question of how many will suffer as a result.

He joins teammate and fellow wideout Allen Hurns on the Dolphins' list of opt-outs. Wilson cites putting his family first amidst COVID-19. Wilson had a tough 2019, posting a career-low 8.2 yards per catch on a receiving line of 43-351-1 across 13 games. He's had two mostly forgettable years in Miami after leaving the Chiefs. After the losses of Hurns and Wilson, the Dolphins' wideout depth has been totally depleted, leaving Jakeem Grant and Isaiah Ford as the Nos. 3 and 4 wideouts behind DeVante Parker and Preston Williams.

Need a bunch of Philly players to opt out. Will take care of the tight cap, then roll even more money over to next years cap to create some flexibility for 2021.
Lol, brilliant move by Belichek. Even when he doesn’t win, he still wins.

[rickah88]

Oh my.

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...rs-opting-out/

[Batman1980]

Saw that, doesn't mean he will though. Has the rest of today to decide.

[rickah88]

Wouldn’t surprise me if soft tissue injuries hit a historic high this season.
No need for an opt out.

[Moviefan1203]

Opting out is a very personal decision for players. Their decision needs to be respected by fans. Everyone’s situation is different.

[BizCat]

If there is a season, it's not going to be a fun season.

[bhampton]

Watched 49ers vs Seahawks 2013 on Pluto last night

I think it’s the first time I saw Kaepernick play.

Was nice to go back to when he had a real job and there was real NFL

There’s definitely going to be more injuries this season. There hasn’t been OTA’s, minicamp, etc. The conditioning isn’t going to be on par with what is normal for an NFL offseason.

[Batman1980]

You don't trust grown men to be responsible for their own conditioning?
