    Friday Degenerate Board – 2/10/17

    The Super Bowl is the worst. We went 6-3 in college basketball picks ATS and managed to lose $330 because of Super Bowl prop betting. That’s including a win on the under 2:15 National Anthem length. So we’re going all college basketball this week. Prepare to lose your mortgage payment at the hands of the […]

    Friday Degenerate Board – 2/3/17

    I can’t hide anymore. After the last week of gambling, where we took a sizeable hit, I fled the country. I contemplated the meaning of life, the disappointment I put my fellow degenerates through, and if this column should even continue. Who am I kidding? I didn’t give a shit because like I always say, […]

    I never tire of winning a couple hundred dollars a week. Plus I’m leaving for my honeymoon next week, and I could use the extra cash. Hopefully, we can continue this trend into the new year because 2017 is already awesome. It’s time to really start switching to basketball and say goodbye to football which […]

    Well, we put out $300 in futures last week, so we’re down $165 on the past week. Hopefully one of those three teams wins the NHL Eastern Conference and we can flip that result. Last week was the first week we really couldn’t find the right underdogs to ride, but luckily the parlay came through. […]

    We’re getting to the scary point in the season where I’m almost convincing myself to actually put money on my bets. We hauled in another $317.13 last week bringing our five week profits to $2,102.13. That’s a cool 42% ROI since we began this venture together. We were incredibly close to raking in another $1k […]

    Ok, now we’ve almost certainly learned our lesson about betting on the Saints, right? RIGHT? In all seriousness, there isn’t much to be upset about this week. It was by far our best week and we raked an $1,800 profit with another $1,000 left on the board to win (go Chiefs). We got lucky in […]

    Friday Degenerate Board – 12/9/16

    Lesson learned, don’t bet against the Lions. I bet against them to win the NFC North, and bet a bit on the Saints to win straight up last week. The Eagles are the exact opposite – the Eagles are bad. It should have been expected in Carson Wentz’s rookie season, but their hot start and […]

    I apologize to my friends in the Pacific Northwest, but I’m here to tell you all that betting on the Seahawks as heavily as I did, may have been the worst decision I’ve ever made. I joked on Twitter that they cost me a mortgage payment, but alas, I rent. Gamblers don’t have nice things […]

    Back when I was in college, a friend of mine won $2,500 on ESPN’s Streak for the Cash. That single event had the precise impact you’d think it would on a bunch of college kids: “Messy won $2,500 playing for free, imagine how much we could win if we actually gamble!” Of course we thought […]
