It is hard to remember when bitcoin was below $70,000 at the time of him receiving his salary. But there was a time long ago and now reaching $100k so it would make these few players look even more wiser and have their wealth of investing into BTC for certain!

Today we have a TNF matchup between Steelers and Browns:

There was another player who took their salary in bitcoin but back in 2020 so it wasn't worth as much back then as it is now.
Russell Okung who is now retired from playing in the NFL took his $6.5mln which was half of his salary in bitcoin. So this came out to 240btc at the time 4 years ago and is at current prices over $21mln!
That is real faith in BTC!

There are another 4 players who took their salaries/signing bonuses in bitcoin:

"It's worth more than the entire contract." -Okung.

Damn. How brave is this guy that never swayed with the price movements especially when it was down at $17000. Some may have lost their faith and just give it up withdrawing everything to cash with a fear that they might lose it all.
This is a great story and I think it can help boosts more athletes to accept their salaries in cryptocurrencies especially in Bitcoin. I only know NBA players who accepted Bitcoin as salary so it's surprising that some NFL players also does the same. Good share, thanks.

Yesterday's match was a no-brainer for anyone not to take the Houston Texans as it was a given that they would dominate the Dallas Cowboys.
I don't know how anybody could of bet against them. I took the spread with the over 41.5 @3.60x on them knowing to be confident enough to place a bet on that market.
The Cowboys looked absolutely terrible and without a suitable quarterback they will continue a downward spiral.
Trey can come in but it seems they have already given on their season and will continue with Cooper Rush. As they didn't even put him in while trailing behind so badly.
It has been known that Prescott will be out the rest of the season after having his surgery since Wednesday last week.

The Bengals almost pulled off that crazy comeback and I was sweating my Chargers bet when they tied it up in the fourth quarter. They're down by 21 points at some point in the third quarter before stringing a bunch of consecutive touchdowns.

The last two minutes were so intense it felt like the Bengals could've taken that game away from the Chargers if they clutched up, specifically their kicker.

I also received my free bet from the boxing promo and used it on the Texans' first half. The way I see it, they're similar to the Ravens' offense and tend to have these strong first-half finishes.

I am surprisingly doing too well in the nfl sportsbetio pool

First rank assured this week with a point lead unless i lost both the last prediction and the tiebreak

Wish i didnt miss first two weeks would have been
on top 3 overall Sad

Today's MNF match is a no-brainer so I doubt we'll see a tiebreaker unless the Texans don't like to win today.

Those missing weeks somewhat set you back, but you're still catching up since you're almost averaging 10 points per round.

Absolutely crazy match for the final game of the day in the NFL last night between the L.A Chargers vs Cincinnati Bengals. It was looking as if the Herbert had this one under control right after halftime as they were just strolling into the second half being up 24-6. Cincinnati had no offense and only had field goals up until that point in the game.
Then all the sudden Burrows just popped off passes and the Chargers had fumbles in their own end.
It was pure chaos!
Some how Bengals scored three touchdowns and tied the game with a few minutes left of the game.
They could of won it with a field goal but their kicker missed two attempts which just killed their momentum.
This allowed Los Angeles to take the game away with a wild touchdown right at the end of the game.
It was like watching a pinball game the way the ball was getting bounced around in the Bengals favor.
Feel bad for Ja'marr Chase and Joe Burrows from coming back from the brink of death to lose it from those missed field goals to go ahead.

Today we have a good matchup in the Texans as they face a backup quarterback for the Cowboys in the Monday Night Football game later on:

@ralle14 your bet cashed nicely! Grin

Chicago managed to screw up their last ditch effort yet again right at the last minute. And so it ended 20-19 hence your under was safe.
Los Angeles Rams won their match so your instincts were good on that one aswell.

My luck saved me from losing that under, I didn't expect the Bears to miss that game-winning field goal, and props to that Packers blocker who slipped through just enough to get his hand in range of the ball. Cheesy

What I was surprised about in the earlier matches was the Ravens lost their game as they missed the two-point conversion so to take it into OT.

I had the Steelers in that match, and I expected the Ravens to lose that game even if they tied it up since there was a lot of time left on the clock. Their defense always gets exposed in the second half and it's no different in this game.

From the looks of the Chiefs game early on, the Bills are instride and just scored a touchdown.
So the Chiefs will have to come from behind from a Buffalo's first quarter drive.

San Francisco 49ers were 1.33x earlier in the day but then raised to 1.43x a few hours before the game.
My guess would be that Kittle was ruled out to be in the game and is on the sidelines with a headset on acting as advisor instead.

For the early matches, i'm starting it off with this under ticket on the Packers match. Their recent matches ended up with less than 40 points and i've heard it'll be breezy at Soldier Field.

Earlier, i'm torn between this and the Rams, but then I ended up liking the under more because I have to buy a point for the Rams spread if they're going to be my starting bet for the day.

Also, i'll probably grab the Chiefs later in the afternoon matches. Even if it's a trap like the Vikings match a few weeks back, i'm still going for it.

A couple of NFL players have received their salaries in BTC and are now reveling in it on their social media accounts.

Thats insane to have that much faith in bitcoin and accept it instead of guaranteed cash in usd.

Amazing 4th quarter by Eagles today in TNF to get a comfortable win over commanders.

Good win as the Eagles won 26-18 and even covered with more than enough for the pool.
All thanks to Saquon Barkley and his two rushing TDs in the last few minutes of the game.

They even made an animation shown during the commercial intermission of his run from last week's game.

I thought the Eagles would give this game away when they couldn't connect their plays in the first half, and thankfully the Commanders ran out of steam in the second half.

Their defense did some solid work in stopping the Commanders offense multiple times.

I also saw that Barkley clip posted on a few social media pages and i'm still amazed whenever I watch it, he makes it look too easy.

We got a TNF match in a few minutes and it's a spicy division match between the Commanders and Eagles.

After the Commanders' close loss against the Steelers, i'd imagine they'll be on their way to claiming another loss if they keep making too many mistakes.

That said, i'll be on the Eagles because I assume it comes down to whoever has the better defense, and I didn't like what I saw from the Commanders.

Kansas City Chiefs are going to try and go 9-0 on the season up against the Denver Broncos.
Christian McCaffrey back in today for the 49ers so expect them to win their matchup against the Buccs later on today.

The Chiefs game had a thrilling ending. The Broncos had a good field position for the game-winning field goal and the Chiefs managed to block it in the end.

The SNF game was also unreal. Goff turned the ball over five times but they still got it under control and won the game.

I'm spending some of my free bets on this betbuilder. I combined the Rams spread (-2.5) and included one of the highest under I could find from the alt totals.

Edit: It's looking like another loss for me, the Dolphins are already up 10-0 and the Rams offense is making things impossible with these turnovers.

Edit: And the bet is looking dead. The Giants' offense is atrocious, they might not even win if they allow the Panthers to score on every drive.

Yes the Giants gave up the ball on Carolina's 20 yard line just before halftime and couldn't score against the Panthers.
It looks like they will lose this one in Germany since Jones is throwing picks and can't get any offense going.

I'm easily going with the Giants here and fading the Panthers since they have one of the worst defenses in the league. I assume Danny Dimes and the Giants could make the Panthers bleed and win by at least a touchdown.

Once this hits, i'll likely roll this one to the Falcons match. They were okay last week and I don't see them losing against this weakened Saints team that lost against the Panthers.

That match went kind of like their other matchup went alittle over a month ago, high scoring.
Baltimore are looking like the team to beat once again this season. With the addition of Derrick Henry made them even more dangerous.

On to the matches for tomorrow we have the first one being in Germany.
New York Giants are the favorites up against the Carolina Panthers:

Panthers have been really struggling so expect the Giants to rollover them in Munich.

Think it going into overtime killed that ticket.
It was looking good until Mayfield cut down the Kansas City defense like a hot knife through butter. Get it, just like a baker's dozen. Grin

I also thought my betbuilder would cash, but those last few minutes in the fourth quarter were enough for the Bucs to push the game to OT.

Moving on, I have the under 52 points for the TNF match. This will probably be a sweat because they don't have the greatest defense, but hopefully, no OT like the Chiefs game.
