I’m honestly not sure where you can pick these up locally, but if you strike out, shoot me a private message. I actually have one or two unused ones sitting around at home that I have no use for; if I manage to dig them out, I’d be happy to just give them to you. There’s some advertisement clutter posted above, but I assume that won't bother you too much.

When you go to make a deposit, Seattle will start asking you about gambling

If you already have funds sitting in your account from someone sending them to you or from a withdrawal at a sportsbook, you can use those however you see fit

Take a look at the emails being sent to everyone registered with DraftKings

I received this one:

The new season is here and we’re giving you an exclusive bonus to add to the excitement. Enjoy your 50% Sign-on bonus up to $50!

Meanwhile, my buddy got a 100% bonus up to $100. 🤣

I have no idea what their criteria are for handing out these bonuses, but there is zero consistency involved. 🤣

Just a reminder: you need to wager the initial deposit plus the bonus three times over before you can withdraw anything. Good luck!

Bet Gun is absolute garbage. Their selection is pathetic, the odds are even worse, and I ended up dropping $140 just to snag a measly $40 sign-on bonus.

You’re going to have to open something. At the very least, get a bank account so you can pull a statement to send over to them.

Nicholas Patel52 said:The matchup between the Split side and Shakhtar is looking like a bit of a toss-up based on these lines. We're seeing the home favorites at 1.85, while the away win sits at 3.20. It’s a fairly tight spread for a game with this much tension.

👋

Kudos to Jacob Torres21 for the heads-up. I appreciate the reminder; I completely overlooked when they actually added it to the catalog. 😳

I was anticipating odds around 1.50 on the Lakers to cover, or perhaps something closer to 2.50 for them to simply pull off a win. I wonder when I’ll actually see those numbers materialize. 3.85 odds for the Hajduk marathon run. 😲

I believe the handicap line offers significantly more value here, so that’s where I’ll be placing my wager. It is one of those matches where you know you're technically superior, yet if things don't go your way early on, it’s all for nothing. If they concede an opening goal, these young guys will get caught up in the momentum fueled by the home crowd, chasing the game aggressively because they themselves realize their defense is prone to complete collapses. 🤣
The point is this: there is a vanishingly small statistical probability that the match ends with a mere one-goal margin for the Seattle Sounders. Given that they’ve been consistently clearing a two-goal spread on the road, any reasonable handicap of -1.5 essentially guarantees their advancement.

I feel compelled to add one more observation to this discussion. Everyone seems to be fixated on the idea that these four goals were the result of a single play or some sort of fluke action, but I think that's a bit of an oversimplification. 😁 Please, let’s be realistic—it isn't quite that naive. They’ve clearly caught wind of how shaky our defense is, and now you’re just pushing these absurd, half-baked theories until they somehow stick. It’s not that they’re idiots; they know exactly what they're doing. On paper, sure, we might look like the better side, but...

Anything is possible at this point. The coefficient is basically a gift, and the value? It’s nothing short of spectacular. Good luck.

btw...

DraftKings ???

I honestly don't understand how people end up using such shady sites🤣

And they're putting serious money on the line, too... it's a total tragicomedy, if you ask me.

If you have even a basic mobile plan set up in your own name, that might actually give you some leverage here 🤷

FanDuel pays out within two days, maybe three at most

It has honestly never taken this long, at least not in my experience

And frankly, I have to give them credit for that👍

Why on earth would anyone even bother placing bets with these absolute bottom-feeders? 🙂

DraftKings 🤮

Andrew Howard14 said:Hey there,
can someone explain what "over 2 and 2.5 goals" actually means on Pinnacle?
Is it similar to a handicap where if there are exactly 2 goals, you get a partial refund, but you need 3 goals to win the over 2.5 part? Because logically, betting on 2 and 2.5 only makes sense if there are 3 or more goals in the match, which seems redundant, right?

With those types of bets, half of your stake goes toward the over 2.0 goals line, and the other half goes toward the over 2.5 goals line.

So, based on how our colleague answered, if exactly 2 goals are scored, half of your money is a push (a refund), while the other half is a loss. Naturally, if there are 3 or more goals, you win the full amount (stake x odds).

In some places, this is equivalent to seeing "over 2.25" listed—it's the exact same thing: half the bet on 2.0 and half on 2.5.

The logic works the same way with handicaps...

I hope that clears things up for you.

Roger Phillips As specified by:
Los Angeles FC-LA Galaxy 1 1,80

Why would anyone take a gamble on a home win? In my opinion, there's a much smarter play available here.

The LA Galaxy simply cannot find the back of the net. Odds are sitting at 2.28 on Marathonbet for them to fail to score.

You’ve provided some excellent data here. In my opinion, this type of wager is exactly where you find the maximum value in situations like this.
Let me add a little more meat to the bone regarding this information:

Looking at the recent stretch of games, they’ve failed to find the back of the net in four out of their last six outings.

They haven't managed to find the back of the net in their last three matches.

Looking at their last three away matches, they failed to find the back of the net twice. Personally, I don't think we need to obsess over trends spanning more than a month.

I have no idea how long they've been missing these specific players from the lineup, but looking at the current situation, everything seems to line up perfectly. As far as I'm concerned, it's enough.
Single bet, standard stake at 5/10.
My assessment of the probability of success stands at 7/10.

Good luck.
