Week 17, Cleve at Pitt. It's likely if things break right, Pitt could be locked in to the #3 seed, and have no reason to play anybody.

I still think it's more realistic they beat SD at home in 2 weeks then beating Pitt week 17. Even if Pitt is playing for nothing, I still think they play the starters a half if not more. Maybe not Ben but Jones is more then capable of beating them.

Why wouldn't you just bet the browns ML each week if that is the route you want to go. They are a dog every game...what a stupid bet to win $900.

Was this wager made by a person named "junk"?

 

[aclv1]

even if i had hundreds of thousands of dollars on the side i would never make that bet
im more of a 20-1 or higher futures guy ... looking for good return on a hundred bucks

He would be 0-7 right now doing that. Depending how much he bet per game he could be in the same situation right now, maybe worse.

For all we know this guy could be betting the other side each week. Starting out with the 600 he would win for a browns win and parlay'n each week he could be around even right now, maybe even up. Too lazy to find the ML odds each week.

good point

but still the risk vs reward is not there...not to mention time consuming and locking up your money

Guess it all depends on your bankroll and what you perceive the number to be. If he felt the number should be -1500 then he was getting great value on his -900. People are always quick to judge someone who puts a big amount down to win a small amount without having all of the information.

Thats a horrible bet at -900

Do what? He only stands to win $600. He could have bet $500 each week for the 10 weeks that were remaining on the schedule at that time, and it would have still cost less than the $5400 he spent. It would have also probably had a potentially larger win amount than the $600 each week seeing as they are dogs every game. Terrible bet.

Think you need to rework your math. He would be down 3500 right now based on your theory. The original goal was to win 600. He cannot get to that number by betting 500 a week now. He would need to increase his bet significantly.

Cant wait for the perfect 0-16 parade in Cleveland

 

[terps1313]

So doing it your way he could win in week 16 and still be down a boatload of money. Doing it this way he would win 600. I am not saying his bet was good, I'm really not sure, but your logic is wrong.

That's every post of his, not just this one.

 

[lolz_69]

anyone dumb enough to bet big on the browns this season needs to be castrated. We don't need that stupidity in the human race

You're right
