Degen Diaries Volume 3

This is a recap of Week 3 NFL and Week 4 CFB.

Thursday

Well that wasn’t easy. Made me question why I gamble. But then it hit. NEEDED THAT ONE BAD. If Pickens made what will most likely be the best catch of the year and still didn’t hit the over in receptions. That might have been it. Pack up your bags and stop bettin. Like how could you come back from that. He made that catch and had two receptions in the first quarter. To have to sweat it until the last three minutes of the game was brutal. But it hit and that’s all that matters. And even though it was a really tough sweat, sometimes you need one of those. When you are on the verge of a disastrous loss then winning feels right. A nice little sweat win. Needed It.

Gambling thoughts I need to tell myself in the future:

The Steelers are BAD. Can’t stop the run. No real offense with Trubisky. Too many offensive weapons, no more prop betting. This team is now on the semi canceled from betting on again list. Not completely canceled but I need a lot more evidence to see a way out for them as to how they can be good. 

Browns may be good? They have now beat three mediocre teams so are they good? They have a solid defense. An insane run game. And a game managing QB. 

Friday

The day of rest. Much needed. Even though I found a winner yesterday gambling has been a little rough the past week. Feel great about the weekend.

Saturday

Picked up a much needed second win today. It won fairly easily. Another college over hitting in with 8 minutes left in the fourth. Finished with 75 points too. That total still makes no sense. That’s exactly what the sixth sense needed to find. I almost took the OU line instead of the total too. Thank God, I didn’t do that.  K State came out to play just like I said. And there is no one stopping this OU team in the Big 12 from getting 30 points. We await Sunday now. Do or Die time. Can not have a repeat from last week. Hopefully another great day of football.

Gambling thoughts I need to tell myself in the future:

Oklahoma can score and the BIG 12 will always be the conference of points.

Sunday

Thank God. It finally hit. The first progressive. A newer version of my favorite way to gamble. It won but it definitely wasn’t easy. I mean the Rams controlled that game. It sucked only being up 13 points in the first half because they dominated that first quarter and should have had a bigger lead. One of those situations where you can see the backdoor because they couldn’t end the game early. Got a little sketch in the second half with the Rams having a comfortable lead scoring the TD but not having a comfortable gambling lead. The worst situation to be in. 20-9 and seeing the Cardinals move the ball with not much time left. You could almost see the TD and two point conversion making it 20-17. I was about to off myself thinking about how I took the line early and then it dropped to -3. But then they got the fourth down stop and it seemed like an easy cover. Until dumbfuck Akers who was irrelevant until today fumbled the ball at the one. Then the sweat had to happen all over again. Thank God it didn’t because I do not know what I would have done if it lost. Gambling can never be easy, lol. But that’s gambling. No more complaints, money is in the pocket. Progressive in the green. Ended the night with a longshot parlay as you should on SNF. It lost but who gives a fuck we won the main bet.

Gambling thoughts I need to tell myself in the future:

It is super tough having the big bet in the second slate of games. Watching the early slate and red zone and knowing what is to come is nerve racking. 

At this point I know what I am getting with the Rams. Obviously a great defense which makes up for their ok offense. It seems like something is missing with this Rams offense. They are just off by a step compared to last year. I think as the year progresses they get back to it but they aren’t the same team as they finished the season last year.

They really need Hop back. Brown is good but Hopkins is just that good it’s hurting this team. Hopkins is so good it helps make it seem like Kliff isn’t that bad of a coach. Because this team was very very sloppy and has been. Gotta keep that in mind for future bets.

Monday

This gambling sixth sense thing is real. I am seeing the plays so clearly right now. (*Knocks On Wood*) I mean I called what would happen that game with Jones. Short quick plays, short quick completions just as I predicted. Jones had to get rid of the ball quickly and that first quarter offense helped the completions a lot.  He did run the ball a lot more which wasn’t expected. That hurt the completions a little. It should have hit earlier too but some bad drops made it a 7/10 sweat. Worried but not too worried. It was an easy game to predict and for that comp line to be so low was very very nice. Had a super small parlay and hit ⅘ legs and although it didn’t hit, it still kinda shows how my sixth sense is in the zone right now. We survive until Thursday.

Gambling thoughts I need to tell myself in the future:

Jones isn’t terrible? I mean he doesn’t have great WR’s. I just think that the Cowboys defense is legit and he was making some passes the WR’s had to catch but didn’t. On top of a missed fg. So I don’t hate them moving forward if they can play the way they play. 

The Cowboys defense is going to carry Rush to a starting job or a 20 year back up career. Whether it be on the Cowboys or somewhere else. I mean he wasn’t bad either. I think he isn’t great but I think he could take it away from Dak. This team is definitely in the fuck no betting category still because Rush has to lose at some point and unless its a primetime game I plan on staying away. Their defense may be one of the best in the league though.
