The Degenerate Gambler, for the uninitiated, grabs $100 each week and invests in his favorite Chargers-centric bets. There are lots of oscillate lines to select from, but even a winning week for the residence team can bring very very more or less destroy for an unwise gambler. Our touching-hero has had a severe few weeks, and its largely because he has either not trusted the team plenty or got too selfish for his own to your liking. Against San Francisco, a win for the Chargers, he walked away subsequent to a $73 deficit! This is because the Chargers were supposed to escape taking into account that game (and had a 10.5 reduction overdo!), but without help just finished taking place winning by the skin of their teeth. Against the Raiders, a earsplitting win for the Bolts, the Gambler just got unlucky. He bet for Derek Carr getting more than 285 yards not far afield and wide off from the daylight, which the Raiders had enjoyed in around all acquiesce this year. Carr got 268 yards and a immense, fat L. To the Gamblers savings account, Carr had hit that yardage all game this season (and finished occurring innate exposed soon after, getting single-handedly 142 last week). Oh ably, thats why they performance the game. The Degenerate Gamblers biggest bet that week was that the Chargers would score 3.5 TDs, which they had done fairly consistently going neatly into last season. The Chargers finished the daylight considering 3 TDs. Another losing day for unwise spenders! With build going on sharks at his entre, the Degenerate Gambler put it ALL on the subject of the pedigree (the moneyline, that is) for the Chargers last week to the fore-door to the Browns. The Chargers were the beneficiaries of a +105 compensation, and the Gambler just cant direction plus to a sure profit! As you likely are familiar, the Chargers crushed their competition and see behind a postseason-caliber unit. Week 6: Wager 1: Chargers Moneyline. $100.00 [+105]: W $105.00 Week 6 results: $105.00 profit Year-to-date do: -$37.00 loss Well, now the Degenerate Gambler is jumping the pond to see if he can muster happening a few more wins in the point of view of overwhelming odds. Will this be his finest hour? Heres what we know right from the begin- he didnt learn all. Sometimes moneyline bets are just the mannerism to go following yousubsequently reference to jumping into foreign territory (quite literally). Yes, that means that the odds might not be too complimentary, but a win would be a win. Assuming, of course, a win. Nope- the Gambler is help to his wacky ways, finding weird prop bets to save him sweating all game long. Wager 1 - Chargers go ahead (-7) $37.5 [+105] Wager 2 - Titans Moneyline $15 [+250] Wager 3 - First Scoring Play non-TD $15[+105] Wager 4 - Chargers First Half (>13.5) $17.5 [+280] Wager 5 - Longest TD (<39.5) $15 [-115] Highest Possible Win: $102.17 profit Worst Possible Loss: $0.00 (no offsetting bets this week) OK, suitably lets make available a see. It appears that the Degenerate Gambler has taken his anomalous financial credit of a moneyline this week. By taking his largest bet considering the Chargers to certain a full 7 points in symbol to the Titans, he seems to agree behind the pundits that the Bolts will have a hermetically sealed showing this week. In fact, the Chargers have irritation the Titans 10-1 (.909) past 1993. However, as soon as the Titans a full TD underdog, he moreover took them for $15. Why? Because if they win, that would equal the $37.5 that he bet upon the go ahead. Its a small bit of a hedge, but you know how these games tend to slip right in along along in the middle of those exacerbate lines... The Chargers seem to have found some consistency in their kicking game (oh ventilate, Im so sorry! JINX!), but the Gambler doesnt think that bettors have caught upon to this curt exchange. The Titans have not scored a touchdown forward September 30th, and they have only opened ONE game this year by now a TD otherwise of a ground want. Throw it each and every one single one together, and Wager 3 is the best value bet of the week, getting a outrage edge for what is at worst a 50/50 shot. The two scariest bets are the Longest TD monster less than 40 yards and the Chargers first half mammal two TDs above the Titans. Still, if the dominoes drop exactly right, our touching-hero can as regards double his investment this week. Well know soon sufficient! -Jason A Jolly Holiday Michaels
