I have a question for those who bet.  How do you address that in your budget?  Do you just budget for what you put down as an expense, and any winnings are just extra income?

Personally.. I don't wager what I'm not willing to lose

 

So I obviously have some money budgeted that I could play with 

 

When that money's gone it's gone till I budget more of it... When I win it's just some extra pocket cash

Thank you Jake Fromm.  I knew you would come through for me.

If so, that sucks. On straight up bets, old time bookies had a 5% take, assuming that bettors will win 50% of their bets. 7 1/2% seems excessive, no?

I’m also betting confidently on the Jets +16.5 line and the Over on our game at 40.5.  Both are likely and it's also a nice hedge because it would be relatively hard for the combined score to be less than 41 with the Jets losing by 17.

whoops…

Yep.  Win some, lose some.  I didn't think the Jets would look THAT pathetic after almost taking it to the Bucs last week.
