I waited the line out and took the Indians at +106 just now.

Hit two legs of a live parlay took the Astros +1.5 and the Sox -1.5. Got the Rays at -1.5 on the last leg to make $5 - $40.

Good luck tonight let’s see all the K’s.

[Judge Jude]

you could hedge that 5 vs 40 - but, nah

5,000 vs 40,000 - you hedge

Yeah if I ever was betting that kind of money A: I would have died already from the stress and B : Yeah you hedge.

Anyway, hit that little parlay but will lose the Indians bet, down 5-1, at least Bieber got to 6 K's so I make a little profit on the day.

Draft Kings back with the +150 first basket boost for the NBA Finals. Bet the Lakers on Draft Kings for $25 max then bet the Heat on Fan Duel for $30.05 at +108 and take your $7.45.

DK also has a 20% odds boost on a 4 leg MLB parlay, threw $5 at the Reds, Cubs, Padres, and A's. 5 to win $55.83, probably won't hit but the 20% odds boost makes it a fun way to watch the games today.

FD has a risk free Single game parlay on the NBA finals up to $10 back but each leg of the parlay needs to be better than -200. Took the Lakers, over 2.5 3's by Duncan Robinson, and over 2.5 rebounds for Rondo for +295 on $10. Sometimes I take some long shots on these free bets but in the opener of the series I took a lot of things that were around -140 to see if I can make $10 - $40

None of the other odds boosts on either site scream must play value yet.

- Cards have a .087 BA vs Chris Paddack in 23 ABs
- Indians beat up Masahiro Tanaka to a .307 BA in 101 ABs
- small sample size, but the Brewers hit Walker Buehler to .471/.526/.765 line in 19 PAs

" bet the Heat on Fan Duel for $30.05 at +108 and take your $7.45."

I see individual player props of "first basket" but not team. how am I missing that?

UPDATE: Still hating this FD app. but I found it.

Heat first bucket we make $7.45 and Lakers first bucket we make $12.50 - is that right?

So if you bet $25 on DK and 30.05 on FD you makes $7.45 no matter who wins. You have bet 55.05 and will get 7.45 in profit on whatever hits because you get 62.50 on either sites for a win.

So you are saying empty out your 401k place the bet and make an overnight profit of 13.5%?

Lol well if they would let you yes, but they cap the boost at $25 so you can only make the $7.45.

[Judge Jude]

ok, I'm a winner!

rooting for a Lakers basket because I prefer DK desktop (can't do FD desktop, for some reason) and I'll almost be out of money on FD with a loss.

The sites typically cap these promos at $25 apiece

And?

Apparently you overestimate the size of my 401k.....
