On occasion I do small side jobs & I charge 40-50 hr for my service but it’s nothing I can live off from, because I can’t do it everyday.

    Total fukking bullshit you gotta jump through all these hoops. My girlfriend's mom has been collecting apx. 2K/ month disability
    for carpal tunnel syndrome. Basically worked at Verizon answering phones & claimed she had wrist pain (approved the 1st time applying for it) & now she's set for life. My gf doesn't like me asking her about it so I don't know all the specifics but it sounds like a total scam.

    If you're considering a slight dog what do you think about the Suns at +140 & Djokovic -109? Suns have a way better chance to make the Finals than the Bucks & would have HC anyway. Even though they probably will, not even totally convinced they beat the Hawks & +100 is ridiculously overpriced w/o. HC.

    You could have had the Suns at -110 to win the west 2 days ago.

    I know you like the futures Doug, but it’s really not my style too many unseen variables that could surface & yes I know this is not breaking news. Different strokes for different folks.

    Understood but I'm just figuring with this strategy considering how safe Djokovic is, this practically seams like a free roll with a min. 1-1 outcome at +Ev.

    futures chalk bets are for suckers. look at Gonzaga, or Nadal, or Nets. you could just wait and live bet Djokovic every time he gets under -200 live, you would make more profit while also fading the majority of covid/injury/hitting ball girl disasters.

    Gotta believe he's too emotionally exhausted after that FO run to play singles that you know he would give half ass effort. I'm sure he's just playing doubles to get his feet wet on grass & just have fun with but I don't get why he would pick some random Futures scrub when I'm sure they would've given him a WC to play with his brother. Agreed about the other point that's why I wanna make that side bet with Matteo who has that perfect 1-2 punch for grass at +1400.

    Rather have Medvedev at plus 600. No way Matteo has it upstairs to last 7 best out of 5 set matches. Only a select few have it mentally and physically to do it. Don't let Medvedevs frustrations on clay sway you. He hates it. He has always been a beast on hard courts and another year on grass can only help.

    Agreed but the type of bet I want to make doesn't work with a +600. It's only cuz Berrettini is +1400 that I could make apx. $15K with these 2 bets. (18,600/17,064 & 2400/33,600). Matteo did make the US Open SFs in 2019 so it's not like it's a throw away bet esp. if he's in the opp. half.

    I don't really see Isner making another deep run in a GS after that SF in 2018..Opelka at 125-1 is shockingly good value on grass considering how good he did on clay getting to the SFs in Rome. Evans also great value.

    Futures are a sucker bet. You have to endure seven rounds over two weeks not to mention stupid shit happening like disqualifications and injuries. You're much better off betting match by match.

    If you take a heavy favorite like Novak you're def. right but if you take a long shot like Krejcikova who won the FO at +6600 then it's worth it cuz you're not getting better value going round by round the more she wins.

    Actually more worried about the DQ at this point cuz even at the French he was throwing his racket around with reckless abandon & all it takes is the slightest bit of physical contact to get tossed.

    Dougie, I love ya pal but you gotta stop with the futures. Sports betting is a grind and something you gotta do at least 5 days a week. You could absolutely crush Wimbledon if you played all the matches you like. Get em Doug!!

    Understood KB but right now I don't want to deal with the hassle of reloading & the 7-10 day BTC hold. If I win this bet then I'd be willing to reload & start grinding.
