Lafromboise Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 My brother is a day trader and asked me about my opinion about the sb. He asked me who I thought would win cause he's not a sports guy. He wanted to throw 200 down so I told him I'll get some opinions. I don't know much about betting so I can't give him an answer. Any advice? I figure I'd ask fellow fans. Lmk.

RaoulDuke79 Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 Does he have a hand in the Game Stop fiasco? If the Chiefs don't win by 10 the fix is in.
Adam727 Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 I'd bet on KC. Or do a prop bet.. maybe on who will win MVP... and pick Mahomes, Kelce, or Hill

4_kidd_4 Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 Have him send me a SASE & a $200 check made out to “cash” and I’ll get those hot tips in the mail to him ASAP! 1
Teddy KGB Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 What’s he gonna do with the 200 ? Buy a gallon of gas and a cheeseburger ? Tell him make it 1000, and bet the chiefs -2.5 1
JohnNord Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 Very tough to bet against KC but against the Bills they played at a very high level. Can they do this 2 weeks in a row and if they can’t, is TB good enough to capitalize. Who knows - This is why I hate betting!

Profits retirement etc. I'd like to give him an honest answer on the game and asked my opinion on who would win( I'd assume I'd know my football) so if he wants to throw a couple hundred for fun I get it. I'm trying the figure out how to really bet and what to bet for that's all.

On the bright side, that’s better than hundreds or tens, I suppose. 🤷♂️ My honest suggestion is never gamble with money you might need, but that’s just me. . Edited January 29, 2021 by Augie

Nextmanup Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 The over/under is at 56.5 right now. I think I would feel comfortable betting the over more so than picking the Chiefs to win at -3. I think the score will be high. Then again, I don't gamble.

What's the best way to go about betting. A certain site? Anything credible? FYI, I need to make a correct selection to win a pool. 1st. Prize is $1700. I am definitely taking the Chiefs -3. There is another component, but getting the correct winner ATS assures me of victory. So, have your brother bet $100 on the Chiefs. He will get back $183, because the line is today KC -120. Now, with the other $100, let him have some fun. Bet about 5 x $20 Prop bets. Look those up on the Westgate site in Las Vegas. Obviously, you can’t bet them there, but there are many safe, fine Internet sites to do so. e.g. If you want to bet an MVP- DON’t take Mahomes! He has is < even $. Rather, choose Hill or Kelce, both @ 10-1. Take the one Mahomes to throw > 2.5 TD Passes. Etc. That way, lots of fun, while watching. 1
