I started following CodyBrownBets on twitter and used his picks for the first time yesterday. Boring, but seemingly safe bets.

He is a good follow. His Hit Sheets are nice to use. I used this pick last night but replaced Mikal Bridges oAssists for Tatum rebounds to get it to + odds.

More for golf and not betting, but Patrick Reed just straight lying about finding his ball in that tree is nuts. He’s always been a douchebag cheater, but he could play the accident/I didn’t know card. This one was blatant and no coming back from as far as cheater label goes.

I’m a believer in karma.  This guy has exuded bad karma in many ways for a long time.  I see trouble on the horizon for him.

I should've jumped on the Under for 76ers/Magic. Just didn't pull the trigger. Nice night for you!

Do you have anything for the Pro-Am this week? So far I just got Spieth going at +1400 (after a DK boost).

I don’t, just because this is my least favorite tournament of the year. Coverage is trash, rounds are 7 hrs with the amateurs, no shot tracker until Sunday (and whoever is on Pebble that day). So I don’t watch any of it, so don’t feel inclined to bet it.

That said, Jordan always plays well here, and getting him boosted to 14/1 is good odds. Well done.

As for those O/Us, I ended up having to sweat 2 of of them, but 2 of them I jumped on and it felt like FanDuel was asleep at the wheel.

With 3 min to go in the 3rd, ORL/PHI were both stuck in the 70s, and it was relatively close (so possessions would be valued in crunch time). There was no chance that game was getting to 215.

Then in TOR/UTAH it was 65-60 at half and they had the game total at 237.5. Not crazy, but just seemed that neither team was concerned about getting a good shot within the offense, so I figured that pace would continue. They hit the over with like 6 min left lol

I put $5 each on Spieth and McNealy to finish T10 this weekend.

Went 1 for 3 but netted an overall profit when Providence/Xavier went to overtime ..........crazy final 40 seconds of regulation.

Golf:   parlay Kuchar/Van Rooyen T20; +1000

parlay Mcnealy/Rose T10; +1034

Mcnealy top US player; +1000

van Royen top rest of the world player; +1000

S.H. Kim round 1 leader at Montery Peninsula; +1800

Thinking over today on LAL/IND

Its at 240 right now at DK.

Both teams top 5 in Pace in NBA. Lakers got AD back.

Both in bottom third of DEF Rating.

I don’t like naming bets. Just when I think I have something figured out it goes way wrong.

So with that in mind, in college bball Florida Atlantic is #21 in country and on a 20 game winning streak. They’re +1.5 at 15-7 UAB tonight.

UAB is good though lol. That's certainly a pick em. Jelly Walker may be back tonight too....at UAB - I may roll with the home team.

College basketball is so unpredictable. I wouldn’t be surprised if UAB won. I learned early on to not go crazy with parlays because at least one team you’re confident in will fuck it up. 

Golf card for this weekend:

Putnam of course starts out tournament with a double-bogey....

Decent bunch.  

Will be ready to pounce Saturday night when they head to Pebble for the final round.

Just did a round of parlays based on Cody Brown's data for the day.

I've got an 18-legger that'll pay out $60+ on a $2 bet. All lines were like -200 or more (less?) so we'll see how that one goes. A few other parlays with way fewer bets included.

His main bet for the day was Anthony Davis 10+ REB and Luka Doncic 30+ points. I did $10 again, to win $8.75. 

Nevermind on FAU

Luka with 21 in the 1st period. Should be easy money, wish I would've put more on it.

I'm a Donovan Mitchell assist from hitting my 11-leg parlay.

Lebron 6+ REB
Lebron 6+ AST
Lebron 2+ 3PT
Westbrook 10+ PTS
Hield 2+ AST
Hield U 7.5 REB
Jarrett Allen 10+ PTS
Mitchell 4+ AST
Garland 6+ AST
DeRozan 4+ AST
Vucevic 2+ AST

+1174

Actually now I'm worried he won't get it.

He was ejected in the third quarter so you should be.

lol, i'm only following along with the online box score. Well, fuck me.

Still, I'm pretty happy to hit 10 of 11 and almost certainly would have hit without the ejection. I still like the strategy I used for the bet so I'll keep at it with $1 bets and keep track of my hit rate. 

Check out the money back SGP. This type wouldn’t qualify since I think all legs need to be -175 or higher. But basically all sites offer them at this point. 

Essentially, if you hit 3/4, you get money back.

These guys want you to hit on parlays. Because you’re gonna become enamored with the massive payout, but also going to lose 7 out of every 8, and lose money in the end. 

I am not saying a parlay here or there is a bad play, especially when trying to juice up a bet you are confident in hit has shot odds. But yeah, someone is gonna fuck those up regual
