Week 7 Results

Are we surprised? Is it even shocking anymore? Obviously this train is still rolling and we have just added another winning week to belt. We now sit at 6-1 in profitable weeks and we are up 24 units ($5 a unit). If you aren't into making money, this obviously isn't for you. Please, by all means, go tail someone else - however, if you enjoy making a steady profit with chances and big payoffs... Welcome to Stacking the Bet. 

Let's look at what went wrong and what went right in Week 7....

A) Falcons -3/Saints -3/Colts -3: Lost $20

Hot dang, the Falcons have no clue how to close out games. At one point in the 4th quarter the Falcons were up 27-14.... thinking this game is gravy. Not only did Miami close the gap - they actually took the lead. It took a final drive and a field goal as time expired for the Falcons to squeak out a win against a team that just played in London. How embarrassing!!

B) TNF SGP: Lost $15

As I stated in the write-up... SGP are designed to allow you to bet multiple outcomes in the same game. Here at StB we went with Denver Broncos (tons of injuries on Cleveland's roster) - which means we placed bets in accordance to Denver winning. Well, that clearly didn't happen and in fact we were really just a big Fant touchdown reception away from clearing out the SGP and making this a big win. Instead, D'Ernest Johnson had a monstrous week and Cleveland showed that it doesn't matter who the "battery" is in their backfield... their offense line is going to create holes for anyone to run through.

C) Packers -2/Rams -4/Buccs -3/Saints -2: Won $73

These were all big-time favorites in their respective matchups. Instead of just picking them to win moneyline, I tend to give up a few points (especially in instances when they are heavy favorites) and try and get a little better odds. Sometimes it comes back and bites me in the butt.... this time it did not. The favorites held serve and we were able to cash a nice bet the closed out on MNF with the Saints barely sneaking by the Seahawks.

D) Big Bet: Lost $5

This was shut down right away when the Denver Broncos and Cleveland Browns decided forget how to move the ball on offense. The struggle was real and it quickly became a defensive battle. They failed to reach a combined score over 38 points (pitiful). Which made this zero fun come Sunday... but hey, we will continue to put these together - because, why not us? WHY NOT US?!?

E) Matt Ryan over 281/Fant over 3 receptions: Won $62

This might have been the easiest "parlayed" prop bet there was. Had I been smart - I would have thrown in Engram receptions as well (Giants were depleted and I went back forth on the number, ultimately left it out). The Falcons have zero run game - their running back is a wide receiver turned running back. Their playmakers are all pass catchers. Fant was primed for an easy 5-9 target game... easy bet.

F) Keenum over 220/Wentz over 231/ Murray+Hopkins 2+ touchdowns: Lost $15

I actually felt really confident in this bet. Keenum dropped the ball and the Cleveland Browns just continued to pound the rock. Honestly, if someone told me that Chubb and Hunt were both out - I would bet the over passing yards 99/100 times (the one time would be when I randomly lose internet due to a comet plummeting towards the earth). Wentz only had 150 yards - which only adds to the fire for the next week. Murray spread the ball around and didn't get a rushing touchdown himself. For feeling confident about the bet, none of the legs hit.... what do you do??

Week: +$35

Season: +$120
