Fan duel has the dodgers to win and Cody to hit a HR boosted to +540. They also have the best odds on the Dodgers at -1.5 at +124. I played those two as separate bets. Happy to try whatever with the parlay of anyone likes anything.

I'd be more concerned about Bellinger's shoulder after it popped out yesterday. Sure he's "fine", but that can't be good for his swing.

Yep could be a problem, at +90 point boost and the way I bet on there prop boost (usually $5 at a time though I had 20 on that Cooper Hopkins boost last night) I’ll take a shot. Yay gambling

Ok here is a $1.80 loss bet if it goes wrong that could win me $220 your amount will vary.

Draft Kings has the first inning boost of over 0.5 runs to +145. Fan Duel has a draw at -150. I maxed out the draft kings boost, for me it was $90.30. I then bet $132.74 on Fan Duel. So if it is 0-0 I lose $1.80. If it is any team leading by any score I lose $1.80. If it is tied at anything over 0's I would win $220. Seems worth it to risk $1.80.

Draft Kings also put out the first team to score a run boost.

$25 on draft kings on the Rays at +150

$31.56 on the Dodgers on Fan Duel at -102

take your $5.94 and smile. So this covers the $1.80 loss bet I put above.

OK one more for fun that I know nothing about. Draft Kings has RB Leipzig, Chelsea, and PSG all to win boosted to +355 the same outcome is +231 on Fan Duel so threw a few bucks at it because why not.

The annoying part on betting the Champions league group stage is avoiding ties.

Draft Kings boosted Mookie to win MVP to +1500, he was down to +700 on Fan Duel so yes I am now all in on Mookie winning MVP. I'd say for anyone the +1500 is worth the $10 max bet.

Don't play the Fox Boost on Kershaw and Glasnow to get 7 or more K's the odds are higher on fan duel now that they dropped both O/U to 6.5.

So my totally unscientific what the heck $10 money back bet is Rays ML, over 7.5 runs, and Glasnow under 6.5 K's at +664

My shits and giggles $5 parlay is Glasnow and Kershaw both over 6.5 K's and Betts HR at +2003

Got the weird hedge bets on first run scored and a draw after the first inning and a small bet on the dogers on the run line. The Bellinger HR and Dodgers to win boost.

My only series-long bets are all on Mookie to win the MVP.

Good luck to anyone else that did any of this stuff here's to rooting for 1-1 after the 1st inning tonight

this from DraftKings in New Jersey:

"We are aware users are unable to place Sportsbook bets. We are working to resolve as quickly as possible. Follow our status page for updates. http://status.draftkings.com/ "

oof.

In New Jersey alone, $748 million was legally wagered in September - three-quarters of a billion.

that's an average of about $25 million A DAY (though of course Saturdays and Sundays are far higher).

if just $15 million was going to be bet on tonight's Game 1, the sportsbooks would figure to make roughly $1.5 million tonight alone.

if DK's market share is one-third and this doesn't get fixed, there goes about $500 grand (again, roughly, but it would be six figures for sure). yikes

UPDATE: I finally got a bet in an hour into the game. good thing they have live betting!

So we have a Bellinger HR and the over in the Kershaw/ Glasnow K's. So looking for a Dodgers win and Mookie HR. Missed getting luck on a 1-1 first inning tie.

Don't listen to me.

Those historical stats work well. Bellinger owns Glasnow, 3 HRs against him now. Should’ve put money on a Belly HR. Just went with the Dodgers ML, the Betts MVP and I have a $35 preseason wager on the Dodgers to win it all at +380.

[frae]

6-1 now for LA, so the Bellinger Dodgers to win promo looks good and so does the Dodgers on the run line. Rooting hard for a Mookie HR now to hit a really good night.

[revo]

Betts HR!!!!

[frae]

Betts HR!!!!

$5 bet becomes $105! and our MVP bets are off to a good start!

[frae]

Ok to be fair I didn't read it wrong draft kings has it written wrong, I have screenshotted the image of what it shows on the promo bet and then what it shows on my bet slip. Anyway I emailed them and will await what they tell me.

So now that I have time and have covered my bases with screenshots and messages you guys will see draft kings shows a boost on Snell at over 5.5 k's to +175 which is a great arb bet with the under on fan duel it is like a $30 profit. The problem is Draft Kings bet slips are showing everyone who bets it Snell over 5.5 K's and the Rays to win. Which is insane since the value on that happening is +425 on Fan Duel and no one in their right mind would bet that at +175. So my entire reddit group that I follow for this stuff is not happy with DK right now. Their guess is Draft Kings just has an error right now and they will fix our bet slips, but for now I wouldn't tell any of you to bet this until I see my bet slip is fixed.
