If this goes against TOS for the site feel free to delete/lock it.
Intention is to share some stale/bad lines and for folks who want to share their plays for the day.

Today: Mangiapane is cold w 3g in 23 games so tread carefully. That said, I think he's going to go on a bit of a run shortly here.
He's +225 on playnow (for BC players. Check your provincial site to see if odds are same) and +230 on bet365. Both awful numbers with his current form.
Conversely, he's +390 on SIA and I found +410 on coolbet where I took it.
GL and let's eat bread tonight.

Probably ok though, there's a literal sportsbook section of the site. If not, see above.

Is this thread for Ontario residents only?

I'm in BC, Ontario does have more options since regulating, but in 25+ yrs gambling I've never had an issue here lol.

Tongue in cheek reference to how every ad on TV pretends gambling is only in Ontario.

I wondered if that was the joke. I'd prefer they went back to non-regulated all grey market sites nationwide. All the nonstop ads are crazy even for us degenerates. We preferred existing in the shadows.

 

[flames23]

No goals in 19, but still capable on any given...Sunday?
Dube +820 (coolbet).
Tippett +265 (playnow. BC only site. Check your provincial equivalent as it might be the same number).

 

[flames23]

All those players for $5M ish and us with Hubie for double and 90% less production! Winnaz!

 

[flames23]

Aight. Ersson .975 confirmed. 4-1 flyers w Ersson 40/41.

I won a Canucks parlay tonight. I'm glad it worked out. I'm usually a $1 to $2 bettor.
Well I had a No Sweat bet tonight on DK. So I put $25 on it. Which I thought meant if I lose I'll get the $25 back regardless. Fine print said $5 max which I didn't happen to notice until the puck dropped.
Cauncks Money Line
Over 0.5 Hughes points
Over 1.5 goals in the 1st period
Over 0.5 Canucks goals in the 1st period.
Odds were low at +218
$25 wager, the win won me $79.50

I'll take it.

I missed out on a 6 game parlay last night because my only underdog bet was a Philly win.
2023 was hit or miss for me.

In fantasy football, for the 22-23 season, I missed out on a 1500USD pay out because the ESPN app incorrectly displayed a player as O, when it should have been Q. He ended up playing (Rhamondre) and having a massive game. Ended up in third with a 150USD pay. Won a 450CAD league and won a free league.

Gambling wise, I do small deposits just to keep boring nights going (like, none of my teams are playing, but I still want to watch some sports and be more 'into it'). I started off pretty well, and then sort of tailed off making some stupid bigger bets to empty an account out lol. At the start I was playing really smart I'd say, I was taking what Vegas was giving me as easy money and not going crazy with it (I remember going in on a WNBA game; where Vegas was giving a pick'em for the final score and one team was leading by like 16; it ended up being super close but I did a full account dump into that one and won).

My DK snake draft record on NFL, and NHL is really good; generally finishing in the pay out.

For tonight?
I like Mavs at 11.5
Portland stinks and doesn't score on the road. Mavs are pretty mediocre at home, but they score a boat load of points at home.

Toronto as a betting favourite over Anaheim I think is an easy one to add to a parlay. Toronto feasts on bad teams, Anaheim is a really bad team.

Cavs at 9.5 over the Wiz.
The Wizards are a joke, Cavs should come in motivated and played pretty well against Toronto while being depleted.

Apparently you only want to listen to my basketball advice
I ended up settling this bet before the Ducks game because I was being offered 80% of the total parlay amount.

I haven't gambled on sports on sports sites since Fan Duel 5-6 years ago. I think I put in $100 CAD, tried to pull out $20 near the end, realized it was a huge PITA to withdraw and close an account and then abandoned the account after it drained down to $0 from some crazier bets I did. I'd hope Fan duel is better now, but man, that really put a bad flavor in my mouth so I abandoned all sports gambling online other than the occasional 50/50.

Try experimenting pulling out some cash from those accounts before you get elbow deep into them. If it's easy to pull out your winnings, that's fine.

I still get some "your account will be purged soon due to inactivity" emails plus some "please come back, we'll give you $10-20 credit" emails. So stupid. Kill the account already. When I called, they had no clue I had an account. "I'm reading you the info from the profile page that you requested!" "No, sorry, must be a systems issue, I don't see it."

 

[flames23]

Just noticed you fellas have been posting here. Thanks for keeping the thread alive! As far as withdrawing the only time I had a hard time was with bodog after completing a relatively absurd rollover requirement ($4500 in 3 days and I was betting $35 a game at the time and never wavered from that so I was legit betting 10 games 1q or half spreads or totals and then rebetting that same money on 2h etc rinse repeat over 72 hrs of madness. Throw in some 4am tennis qualifiers from Eastern Europe and Bob's your uncle. Anyway. Managed to profit a few grand somehow. They claimed they sent it but I had to wait 2 months and send in bank statements to prove I never got a f***ing penny.

Eventually they folded and sent it. Pretty smooth wd'ing off playnow (BC only), sports interaction, coolbet, bet365, and pinnacle.

Ah yes and for today:
I'm on Rango & Batherson both at +235 as well as Chychrun & Weegar both at +580.

I haven't had a problem yet withdrawing from FanDuel. Other sites are quicker with the withdrawal time but I've always received the money.

NorthStar was the only sportsbook that gave me trouble since they had some weird rule and locked my account because I wasn't betting enough apparently. I was able to get it unlocked and withdraw my money but it's the only site that's given me a problem so far. Great for it's everyday 10% profit booster but I'll probably never use them again.

Your profile says you're in Calgary, but I was under impression those sites could only be used in Ontario. I know I can't use them in BC, myself. Wouldn't mind all the Ontario choices.

I'm in Ontario I just haven't changed my location on my profile. There's quite a few options but still not as many as there should be because they limit all gambling to the province. Also no DFS as well.

Ah yes and for today:
I'm on Rango & Batherson both at +235 as well as Chychrun & Weegar both at +580.

I had three yesterday:

Same game:
Money - Lakers
Lebron - 1+ 3 pointer
AD - 1+ 3 pointer

I actually took that one to offset another bet I made, but this one had a nice little +300 return.

3 Leg spread:
Toronto +5
Sac-town: -11
Mavs -8.5

Busted, Mavs lost by 17 to a Morant-less Grizz. I couldn't have predicted that one in a million years.

4 leg Money:
Ottawa over Calgary
Toronto over SJ
Winnipeg over CBJ
Edmonton over Chicago

Cashed out after the Sens went up 2-1 for a +230 return. Thankfully I didn't hold because the Sens got pounded by us lol.

 

[Volica]

Apparently you only want to listen to my basketball advice

The Raptors seem to be a good team to taking the spread on these days.
Their team looks 100% different after the OG Trade, They're 3-2 after the trade and only haven't covered the spread in one game (Sacramento, they lost by 5 and the spread was 4.5+).

They're +10 to the Clippers tonight. Coming off back-to-back in a game they should have won against the Lakers if not for some of the worst officiating I've ever seen. Seems like one that you'll get some garbage time out of to cover.

Watch me write this and the Raps lose by like 27.

 

[flames23]

Good call on raps.

Tonight:

Schmaltz +240
Zary +270
Maccelli +345
Carcone +450

Sat:
Tex +2.5

 

[flames23]

Feels like a good game to throw out some goalscorer darts for fun.

Coyle +250
JVR +300
Kuzmenko +285
Pelletier +780
Hanifin +800

Hopefully we get some goals tonight.

**Edit**

Adding Lindholm in his Canucks debut: +335

 

[flames23]

@Boomstick sorry pal didn't really do much today. Added Kaprizov and Boldy last minute.
If you use bet365 you can still add those live.

Took em both to get 1/2/3 goals tonight. Numbers all over the place. Boldy toque +8000 be nice.

 

[flames23]

Well that was awful. Just got home and watched the highlights. No bueno. 2 goals vs the Hawks. Wild are as bad as we were just as the standings suggest. New 'menko flames are contenders of course.

 

[Boomstick]

I had a good Leafs/Dallas parlay. Hit 3 of 4 though. Needed 2 shots for Marchment, he was the only Stars player without a shot in the game. Figures.
Had Leafs to win, (yuck) Matthews to score (yuck) Harley over 1.5 shots.
