My sports betting bankroll right now is "14", and it began the season at "9".
I won't say whether that's dollars or bitcoins or Swiss pesos or what fraction of a bitcoin it is.
So you don't know what that means or what the amount is. But that's the ratio of where I started and where I am now.
So you can follow along and see if I boom or bust in the playoffs.
I wanted to be alive for the playoffs and was more conservative with my roll than I could have been. 😏
Granted: I was all-in various times, but it was all-in on multiple games. So there wasn't actually much chance of busting. There were a couple spots (like Minnesota vs Miami) where I wanted to unload, except I didn't want to go kaput in the regular season.
And now that the playoffs are here, I don't have any strong feelings. 😏
In my mind I always wanted to bet the Chargers in the first round, like that this just isn't going to be a one-and-done year for them. Now that they're staring down at the Ravens, meh. But I'll probably hold my nose and do it.
That's tomorrow.
Today I'm betting "1" on the Colts and Captain Andrew Luck ("0.5" on the moneyline and "0.5" with the points, +2).
And I'm betting "2" on the Seahawks ("1" on the moneyline and "1" with points, spread around to different amounts).
One thing I don't like about the Colts, is the planets often find a way to align for the Patriots. And drawing the Texans in the next round seems like a decent matchup for them. Whereas if the Colts win, the Patriots get either the Ravens or the Chargers.
I think Belichick would find a way to crack the Ravens defense and do well against a rookie QB. That actually might be their best matchup. But the Chargers would obviously be really tough.
So I don't have any bets yet on tomorrow's games. I'll see how it unfolds today and try to soul read the universe after that.
I do know I'll probably moneyline the Bears pretty hard.
Historically betting against Nick Foles has been disastrous, but I think the gig is up.
