We are "looking live" at the DK debut tonight. MLS. $500 on NE Revolution +130 to win. At another place, Montreal -130 at $650 to win/draw. NO juice. And, with that, I get a "free bet" for $500. We'll see which side wins tonight and how I'll proceed for tomorrow. (I really want the Montreal side for my bookkeeping purposes).

 

Almost, Montreal, almost.

Now I'm wildly imbalanced but, with a guaranteed profit of $296 tomorrow on the Alaves/Madrid total of 3.5, I'll manage.

 

Yup, I'm on it.

There's a local book offering a 50% free bet on a 3-team parlay (up to $200 for the parlay). $200 at +591 to win $1182.

Hit the first two legs easily (under on two English Championship games... both games went scoreless) and now need to hit U2.5 on Philadelphia-Miami MLS. I will hedge the other way but it's a lot of juice on O2.5 (-143) to start. MLS games tend to be very low scoring in the first 30 minutes so I'll be pacing the first 15-20 minutes and, once the O2.5 drops to +120 or more, I'll hit it heavy. That -143 pregame eats up a lot of profit.

What is nice about DK is that it has all sorts of bets and you can, for the most part, get yourself out of early trouble for a smaller price.

 

That got ugly.

Philly scores in 5th minute and that throws off the live totals all night.

DK did save me beforehand with the props. Instead of hedging O2.5 -145, I placed bets on a goal in the first 15 minutes (+200) and O1.5 first half (+180). Both hit. It’s 1-1 at half. O2.5 is now -275. Instead; I put 7-2 on final score of 2-1 Philly and 9-2 on 2-1 Miami. One of those hit. Then I got jittery and placed way too much on O3.5 love and that didn’t hit.

Won $37 instead of the $200 I had as a goal. Good lessons learned on what to play.

I did get two $100 free bets so I’ll turn those into $150-250 today.

Normally, I avoid the props but DK’s correct score props can save a lot of bad plays.

 

Banged the Tiger boost on DK to the max. And bet Man United today to win either 2-0 or 3-0 so life is good.

 

Barring a complete collapse in the second round, Ill take that $62.50 profit and sock it away.

I am, generally, an under player on soccer. However, if you play the over on another site and, by halftime, if it doesn’t look like it’s going to hit, you can go to DK and load up on the “correct score” bets.

Let’s say you take an O2.5. $50 at -110. But also take the 0-0 for $7.50 at, say, +1000.

Once a goal does get scored, you lose the 7.50 but this opens the doors for the correct score of 1-0, 1-1 and 2-0, usually at +400-500 each at halftime.

 

DK just made millions off Tiger Woods falling apart. Holy F. We all lost $50.

 

In two hours. EPL. Watford-West Ham.

Put some green backs on a draw at +190, a little on 0-0 at +750 and under 2.5.

A tie keeps both from out of danger of relegation. If it’s tied after 60 minutes, they’ll just kick the ball around.
