Lemme know. I may have a way to find out.

By the way, if you're serious about having a potential source, there are a whole bunch of Lady Gaga bets. Hair color, first song, primary outfit material, begin with a handheld mic or mouthpiece...

First song has had a lot of line movement lately towards Edge of Glory, which is an odd choice. Not sure if that indicates some insider trading.

My friend that was in The Hunting Ground talks to her pretty regularly. I sent her a text to see if she can find out, but if there are a whole bunch of props across a whole bunch of sites, I'm sure she'll know what's up. Maybe she's chill as hell and doesn't mind helping friends make cash gaming bets, but I'd be surprised. Anyways, I'll let everyone know after I place my bets of course.

Negative. I had the packers. It would have paid $655 on a $50 hit. Oh well. We cashed out another $500 and have about $600 to play with for the super bowl. All good.

Crap. Sorry, wouldn't have raised it if I didn't think you'd hit 'em all. Oh well, house money is always fun.

Relative rookie here. Took Pats at -4.5 and the under on 7.5 Pats receivers with a catch.

Wish I'd gotten in at -3, but I'll take it.

A few wagers already made, will be adding a few more as the game gets closer. So far:
Pats -3 at -110 (right after AFC championship)
Teased Pats +4.5 and over 50.5
Edelman receptions over 7.5 -130
NE players to score in any manner over 4 +130. I figure Ghost and 3 others at least get a push.
ATL touchdowns over 3 -127. I'll take the push if it happens, didn't want to go over 3.5

Did OK overall, ended the day 20% above where I started but a lot of puts and takes. In addition to the above, hit on 2nd half points>1st half, Brady completions and yards, halftime bet Pats -6; missed on Ryan completions and total field goals.

Same here. I ended up +30% on an $1100 investment, which is pretty good considering the game did not exactly go the way I thought it would. Hit spread and money line but missed on the under and 1st half spread.

I got several novelty props at near-can't-miss odds before the lines had time to settle, such as Patriots calling heads at -115 (they always call heads). These helped.

One of my favorite results was Trump over/under 7.5 tweets on SB Sunday. I had an arbitrage bet on 2 sites, from which I expected a guaranteed 15% return. Even though both books had the exact same parameters for the question in their fine print, they each graded the result differently for some reason, so I ended up winning both sides.
