This gambling in Ohio is NEW and so beware. I did bet on NFL when it started on New Years Eve after Midnight at a Casino in Dayton Ohio. I drove over, made my bets, and left real fast. The next week I bet half as much on last week of season.
The second and last week of NFL, I only bet 35 dollars. A 4 team parlay for 30 bucks that would have paid 215 dollars if all 4 teams would have covered their spreads. A 10 team parlay for 5 dollars that would have paid 3,420 dollars if all 10 teams would have covered. So I bet 35 dollars to try to win 3,635 dollars.
I had 35 dollars to lose, and I did. The odds are you are going to lose. Now 35 dollars times 18 weeks, I'm not sure I want to lose that much.
One of the total rip offs is that if say you bet only The Bengals to Win, and they Win AND cover the spread, it doesn't even pay 2 to 1. If you bet 50, you will only win about 40, which is a suckers bet. The pay out is awful on a win. Same with less than 2 to 1 horses.
Be very careful with the New Gambling now Legal in the Ohio area. I've seen people lose their grocery stores they owned, lose their homes. lose their wives and children. The movie where Rocky is suppose to break the guys thumbs for being late on his gambling debts happens. We can learn from Pete Rose who got in so deep they had that low life young mob bookie living with Pete and his young wife even when Pete was on the road with the team. No man would want that guy in your house with your wife when you are States away, but that's how deep Pete Rose fell into Gambling like an alcoholic drug addict.
Comic Nipsey Russell had a poem. " For those who want to gamble, I have this advise to say. The best way to double your money, is to fold it and put it away "
Beware, and that same goes with The State Lottery, which people lose a lot on. So the State is in the numbers racket. We are going to get bombarded with commercials telling us to gamble, even more than the State Lottery, which does not go to schools like they claim it does, our State Leaders LIE on that, it does NOT all go to schools.
I may or may not make my 35 dollar bet in 2023, but I feel like a sucker if I make it all 18 weeks of the season. I don't want to lose 140 dollars a month, and the odds are in gambling that you are going to lose. You don't beat these Casinos or States with Casino type Lottery or clubs like Moose, Eagles, VFW, Amvets that with their slot machines and rigged games are small Casinos. All these places are set up to win, and you are set up to lose. ANYTHING YOU CAN BET ON CAN BE RIGGED AND CROOKED. The worst is these clubs with a Queen Of Hearts Game. They pull out the name from the bin of who gets to pick a card. They put the cards upside down so they know where the winning cards are. So all they do is pull out their own names or a rigged person to pick the winning card, and so they take in money without really giving any money out, A RIGGED GAME.
BEWARE ON THIS NEW LEGAL GAMBLING.....BEWARE.
Gee, thanks Captain Buzz Kill.
