Brady somehow managed to pull out a win against the cowboys with a dismal performance of the season opener.
First half were all field goals and ended 12-3. Yeah that's right, not one touchdown by either Brady nor Dak Prescott, who left the game with a fracture in his hand. He will having surgery and will miss 6-8 weeks for the start of their season.
What a horrible game for Dallas as they were losing and it was near the end of the game anyways when he got took off the field.

So tonights MNF match up is the Broncos against Seahawks.
With Russell Wilson making his return to the team he left at Seattle so expect alot of boos from the crowd.
I went safe and put in a prop bet on my acca with him getting atleast 2 touchdowns.

What do you mean by "I bought a point in their handicaps" precisely? Well they are maybe favorites initially but with such handicaps I wouldn't say that anymore, @1.94 for Baltimore Ravens (-6.5) I wouldn't call that odds of a favorite outcome. You may have 50% chances to lose this leg IMO. I hope you have taken the 5 legs insurance at least but I wish you good luck for your parlay anyway.
It means I went with the handicap of the favored teams but I shaved a point or two instead of going for the actual handicap since there are situations where teams would struggle to convert touchdowns but still get points through field goals. The handicaps on the Ravens are pretty generous IMO knowing the Jets are one of the worst teams in the league and the Ravens are still one of the top teams in the league. I do get your point though, for me I think there's some value to get with the handicaps in the first few weeks as the bookies will still take a bit of time adjusting their odds between each team.

Also, my parlay is most likely dead but i'm hoping for the Colts to at least win and save my survivor pick. Tongue

So that's why the Bills were so favored in the second half even though they're up by a touchdown, and the performance by the Rams was indeed horrendous they had so many chances to turn it around as both teams are struggling to maintain possession.

Also can't wait for the games later today as i've got a five-leg multi ready to go with all of the favorites (Ravens, Colts, Saints, Dolphins, Eagles) that i'm confident on and I bought a point in their handicaps since there might be a team that'll probably fail to cover.  Smiley

Rams played horribly since the very start. They even won the coin toss but decided to defer so the Bills received the ball first. Roll Eyes
You can see this happening the way it did because Stafford was recovering from an injury the announcers were stating during the 2nd half of the ball game. As they got word that he had something wrong with his throwing arm.
No wonder the oddsmakers had them as the underdogs at over 2.17x on some sportsbooks while the Bills were 1.77x.

He had alot of interceptions from what I watched of the game and actually ended up turning it off during the last td by buffalo when it got to 31-10.
It was an absolute thrashing at the hands of the Bills.
Josh Allen played like a maniac and scored a td himself like he always does.
Running it in like a running back.

Can't wait to see what Brady will be bringing to the table when the Buccs face off against the Cowboys this Football Sunday.

Tonight starts the 2023 NFL season with the Buffalo Bills vs the Los Angeles Rams!
Last season's championship teams always are a good matchup to start a new season off right.

Thanks for mentioning the giveaway thread, i'll place my entry later.

For the first game of the NFL i'll go with the Rams @2.09 since it's a close matchup i'd go with the value pick here even though the Rams are missing a few players I still think they have the better edge due to the home advantage.

Tom Brady turn 45 years old today. Making him the oldest NFL player entering into the 2022/2023 season.

Not the oldest in the league's history but only off by a few years.

They join the switch to cryptocurrency just like other teams from different sports have in the last few years.

Pretty big news the other day:
Tyreek Hill from Kansas City Chiefs traded to the Miami Dolphins for a hell of alot of draft picks.
He was the highest paid wide receiver in the league with $120 million over 4 years.

I knew he'd come back at some point as I still think he could get another one if he really wanted to and at the same time, I wonder how much the future odds on Tampa Bay shifted after that announcement.

Also, unfortunate to the person who got the final touchdown ball that went up for like $500k. Lips sealed
Yeah it went for $500k but soon after the unretirement came to light the value dropped for the ball to $50k at most.
Because now it's just a game ball from Brady and not a one occasion monumental ball.
Has it only been six weeks since he announced retirement?
Wonder what got him to change his mind... but then again football is probably the only sport where it would be easiest to do so.

Tom Brady coming out of retirement to lead the helm of the Buccaneers.
https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/mar/14/tom-bradys-nfl-return-is-both-understandable-and-potentially-foolish

Well the days at the retirement home in Florida didn't last long.
Guess 44 is the new 36.

Some several days have gone by and there were other crypto-related commercials that had QR codes hidden.
The one with lebron james had one where if you scanned it could get you entry into a raffle for an nft on their platform shown below:

Don't think it still works as I hadn't tried it.
Another sharp eye on reddit caught a seed phrase in several spots during the same commercial if paused:



Only one I missed was Tom Brady in that FTX commercial but since he wasn't in this years Superbowl they ran it with Larry David instead.

Coindesk did a run of those ads days later after the Superbowl was done and their effectiveness.

Seems that the one with the least flashing lights took it with over 20 million hits on their site within a minute of it being run.

Alot of crypto influenced ads were played during the game but the half time show was the real success for the crowd who witnessed it live.
With all the big names on hand and a surprise appearance by 50 cent which wasn't announced to perform.
Is there a place to see which crypto ads actually appeared? I don't mind watching some of these US ads -- they tend to be funny. Not as crazy or memorable as Thai ads, which are downright wacko, but not bad anyway.

It would've been sick if those odds actually hit.  Grin

Next season I'm going for another 5 outright, this time though I'm going to put in ONE team with odds over 100. Anyway, finally saw all my outright settle yesterday. Been having 5 bets yet to settle cluttering my "My Bets" page -- nice they also gave me an instant Clubhouse boost haha.

See you at 58th everyone.
On youtube of course. Every ad displayed during the game can be viewed there.
Coinbase was the one everyone was talking about since it was just a QR code going back and forth just like on an old dvd player. Where it eventually crashed the site.
So it caused posts on twitter saying "coinbase doing coinbase things causing coinbase to crash".
FTX, etoro and crypto had theres.

As it ends the LA Rams won to complete the LA Story.
Alot were on the Bengals including myself because at those odds it was hard not too and Burrows was known for comebacks from most of their wins during the season. But not this night. They kept it clean all game long without committing a foul but within the last 2 minutes they had done the most costly one at the goal line with a hold. At that time you knew the momentum swung in favors of the Rams.
I must say both teams have their ups and downs, at the same time it seems like live betting was the play when you see the odds of both teams swinging up to 3.00 at one point. Stafford making some crucial mistakes which caused the Bengals to take the lead then their D line getting some huge sacks to compensate. It felt like refs bailed them out in the end though, with the two consecutive DPIs at the 4th quarter.  Luckily, I also took the Bengals spread and recovered a bit from my match winner bet.

@ralle14 Bengals were 125/1 at the start of the season, wish I'd had the wisdom to pick them *sobs* and they're the keen underdogs here so I might end up putting a freebet or two on them.

The Gatorade color prop seems tempting, I kind of want to take orange but it'll probably end up being blue or clear.

Anyway, I got the Bengals to win @2.75 might add another bet for Bengals +4.5 since I really like the spread now that it moved a bit on their side. I must say it's also tough to bet against the Rams but if they continue to make mistakes just like what happened against the 49ers then we could see the Bengals catapult themselves to a Superbowl win.

Can't believe I'm actually reading more and more about this Superbowl. Even the BBC is covering it quite a bit, 3 articles on landing page. Here's a bit of background on why crypto ads will dominate: https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-us-canada-60356210

An ominous word of caution though, a SB spot doesn't always guarantee commercial success Wink

Enjoy the game, those watching!
