I only bet on sports when I'm in Vegas (an exception was made for the Over on KU wins this year, using Bovada). And, as such, I typically only bet on the stuff I shouldn't (i.e., teams I'm emotionally invested in. . .Royals, Chiefs, Jayhawks). I've never messed with totals bets or championships as I didn't want to deal with collecting. But this year they had the MGM app and I could bet there and, in theory, collect from home.
So this is how my Chiefs season has gone. . .
Summer: I'm at the end of the trip, I haven't lost the amount I allowed myself to gamble. I had previously heard the total for the Chiefs was 12, giving odds, but saw that it had moved to 12.5 getting odds. I'm thinking, man, how "lucky" am I. . .. I can bet Over 12.5 and Get odds. The Chiefs will be favored in every game (or at most dogs in 1 or 2). . .this is easy money!
Season starts: Geez, better pick it up. But this bad luck can't last.
Get our 4th loss: Yeah, so remember that next time, dumbass, when you think a bet is easy money.
Start on a winning streak: This is nice, but no way we can win out.
Get deeper on the winning streak: Still nice, but wish I was on the over 12 instead of 12.5 so I could have a potential push if we only drop one more.
Smack the Raiders: Man, the defense has really come around. Bounces are going our way. Offense is looking better. This might happen!
COVID hits: Sneed OUT. Gay OUT. Jones: ???? COVID. F Me.
Hopefully I can add to the emotions after Thursday night with a miraculous win and get back on the roller coaster.
I don't know how hard core gamblers do it.
