Second round draft odds: Don’t bet on the draft ever again

Say, do you remember that time when the over/under on Geno Smith’s draft slot was set at 8.5? We do, and yes, so do you, the chronic betting fiend who’s only now getting the tears to stop.

Since betting on the NFL draft is something people really do, there was undoubtedly much despair after Smith’s fall that hasn’t stopped yet. Online sports betting sites which allow you to donate your money digitally had Smith commonly projected for about that No. 8 spot which was originally owned by the Bills.

How can you lose more money again tonight during a draft that’s made “prediction” a dirty and scummy word? Why, Bodog.ca has more options, of course.

Since the Internet is obligated to provide you with the opportunity to bet on any event that’s even loosely related to the NFL, this afternoon your friendly online draft wagering guides surfaced to feed your paycheck losing needs.

Later on this week we’ll give you a list of much more fun things to bet on/drink to, because we always aim to provide a public service. How many times will Mike Mayock say “dancing bear”? There’s a prop for that.

For now, here’s the real stuff from Bodog.ca, with some commentary/ranting/bad predictions…

Super Bowl odds after the first week of free agency

Posted by Sean Tomlinson under Money making on Mar 18, 2013

Obligatory note: what you see below is a sweet money making opportunity for those of you who enjoy such things. Vegas odds on championship chances are a gauge of the public opinion of each team, but as a predictor of the results we’ll see in the 2013 season or the Super Bowl matchup we’ll watch next February, futures in mid March immediately following the first week of free agency — before the draft, and long before a meaningful game or even a meaningful practice — are little more than arbitrary fun.

Odds are a talking point, and since we’re into talking about things around here and we like fun, I took a little look see at how the championship odds for each team are stacking up nearly a week into the spending, and mostly overspending. The World Wide Web provides so many places to lose money on sports if that’s your desire, but here we’re sticking with Bodog just for the sake of continuity. Elsewhere you’ll surely find different projections, and even better bargains and ways to pay for your new dryer. Please recall that a day after the Super Bowl we did a similar post using Bodog’s odds, with the Broncos leading. So how much has this list changed since then?

Will Percy Harvin top 1,000 receiving yards next year? Of course there’s a prop for that

Posted by Sean Tomlinson under Anquan Boldin, Money making, Percy Harvin on Mar 12, 2013

Today is all of your birthdays in one day, and right now every NFL writer is as giddy as old age home residents settling in for a Matlock marathon, or even better, a 28-year-old man(?) watching multiple episodes of the original G.I. Joe series (true story: this happened in the early morning hours Saturday, and I feel no shame). Free agency day, guys. The best.

But first before we go about the business of spoon feeding you every imaginable rumor and doing one final preview of the madness that will begin this afternoon at 4 p.m. ET, let’s use the magic of gambling to take one more look back on yesterday’s insanity.

Super Bowl betting preview

Posted by Rob Pizzola under Money making, Super Bowl XLVII on Jan 31, 2013

In yesterday’s article I offered up some prop bets for the big game this weekend, but now it’s time to get down to business. Super Bowl XLVII pits the Harbaugh brothers against each other. A win for the 49ers would give them six Lombardi Trophies, equaling the Pittsburgh Steelers for the most all-time, while the Ravens will look to send Ray Lewis off into the sunset as a champion.

Non-crazy Super Bowl props: How many passing touchdowns will Joe Flacco have?

Posted by Rob Pizzola under Money making, Super Bowl XLVII on Jan 30, 2013

Super Bowl week is upon us. No other week has the ability to lure a savvy bettor into making some truly dumb plays the way this one can. You’ll be able to bet on just about everything that happens this weekend, but the important thing to remember is that prop bets come at a significant cost with inflated juice, and they’re usually pretty damn sharp.

Prop bets can be fun, but you don’t want to be the guy at your Super Bowl party holding a stop watch while the national anthem is being sung (Ed note: I’ll gladly hold that stop watch, and a little later on this afternoon we’ll have a post analyzing some, um, less conventional props…yes, analyzing). With that being said, I’ll offer up my top prop bets for Super Bowl Sunday, but first, let’s talk a little about the strategies you’ll want to employ when making prop bets of your own.
