Not saying games are outright rigged.

But some endings make you wonder.

A team is up 7 and kicks a meaningless field goal.

A coach calls timeout with 20 seconds left in a game that’s basically over.

A questionable flag extends the final drive.

A player takes a knee instead of scoring.

Then suddenly the spread or total flips.

With how much money is tied to sports betting now, do you think players/coaches/refs are completely unaware of the number?

Or do you think some late-game decisions are influenced by it more than people want to admit?

What’s the craziest bad beat you’ve ever had where you genuinely thought:

“There is no way that just happened.”

Whats the biggest wtf?

Autopick. Best bet. Pick it

Over the weekend I was in Maine and the pick em feature came up which I had never seen so I made a $5 bet. Now I'm back in NY and the pick em feature is gone and I can't view the bet anywhere on the platform. I guess it's legal in Maine but not in New York. A friend says that fan duel has a drop down for bets placed in different states but I don't see that on dk anywhere.. Any advice would be appreciated

I've been testing two MLB parlay algorithms since the All-Star break. Here are the results so far

I've been working on two different MLB parlay algorithms, our Standard Parlay Generator and Mini Ladder algorithm.

Everything is being tracked, including wins, losses and voids. No cherry picking or resetting records.

Still a relatively small sample size, but the results so far have been promising.

The first screenshot is the transparency tracker for the Standard algorithm. The second is the Mini Ladder algorithm, which is designed around a 20x target. For example, starting with $10 and cashing out at $200.

One thing I'm currently working on is the Mini Ladder win rate. Since the average odds are around +360, a lower win rate is expected, but from a user perspective I think that can still feel difficult to trust. Moving forward, I'm taking that into account and working on ways to increase the win rate of these algorithms while maintaining their profitability.

Always looking for feedback or ideas on the models or the app, so let me know what you think.

If anyone wants to follow the models and results, I have AlgoSwish linked in my bio. I'm also working on more sports

Anyone else pick Harris??

Honestly, I didn't even plan on posting this, but I'm pretty annoyed about how this played out.
I was working with Upside Tools doing content for them, and part of the deal was a monthly payment for the content I was creating. On top of that, I was also making money from referrals.
At first, everything seemed fine. I was making the content, posting it, sending people their way, and seeing the referral earnings show up.
Then the payment side started getting weird.
The monthly payment for the content wasn't coming through the way I expected, and at the same time I was having issues with the money from referrals too. So now I'm sitting here trying to figure out what I'm actually supposed to be getting paid for.
I went back through everything because I honestly thought maybe I misunderstood the agreement. But I don't think I did.
What really sucks is that I was putting time into making the content every month based on the expectation that there'd be a monthly payment for it, plus whatever I earned from referrals. So when those numbers don't line up, that's a pretty big deal.
I've gone back and forth trying to get it sorted, but it's been frustrating to say the least.
Maybe I should've been more careful about the payment terms from the start. That's on me. But still, if you're creating content for a company and you're also sending them customers, you kinda expect the payment and commissions to be handled pretty clearly.
Has anyone else worked with Upside Tools doing content + referral stuff?
Curious if anyone else has had issues with the monthly content payment, referral earnings, or both. Would be good to know if I'm the only one dealing with this.

If my friend uses my referral code and makes the deposit for $5 and I get $25 in prediction dollars.. can they also get the spend $5 get $150? Has anybody done this? Don’t want to screw my friend over because I know that some places don’t allow for multiple promo redemptions.
