No, I just want to hear you tell us how you made the bet.

Did you just do a straight line bet taking the Rams at -13.5? Or did you do a money line wager simply taking the Rams to win outright? Which if that's the case, you need to give the money lines you got.

Or you can just say you don't understand what I'm talking about and admit that you're full of shit and didn't bet anything on the Rams, much less $750.

I think Falcon Jedi makes AFMB a much better board but I don't always agree with his predictions.

Its a non-issue. I won a bet that paid me pretty well. No one here needs to know details of that. And Im not going to discuss my finances on a message board.

All I'll say is I put $750 down on the Rams last Sunday. I also put money down on other games, but the Rams game put me in the black, so I came out Ok. If you need more details than that, then Im wondering why you need to know that.

Im not going to discuss who or where i bet thru or what options or accumulators I bet with, because its none of anyone's business. So sorry Mr. Beef. Make your own bets and worry about that instead of mine.

Jedi isn't like Swift or Phalcon Phil because I don't think Jedi actually believes 80 percent of the stuff he says. When a player misses a practice because of a hangnail and Jedi professes that his career is over, that to me is freaking hilarious (especially when people take it seriously and attempt to argue his fallacious points). He's the Stephen Colbert of the message board, and I respect that wholeheartedly. I genuinely believe he loves this team as much as the next guy who posts here, so I find his presence far from spamming or "shit". He's a very good troll (and I mean that in the best way possible Jedi), and seeing the literal internet macho men take it to heart IMO is fucking hilarious.

"Steven Cobert of the message board?" You think what Jedi does can be categorized as satire? Satire is grounded in truth and substance. What Jedi does is grounded in utter nonsense, coupled with an addiction to social media and a pathological need for attention.

No, Jedi is the balloon boy dad of the message board. Jedi is the White House party crashers of the message board. Jedi is the drunk guy who runs out onto the field during a game of the message board. Please do not mock the sublime art of satire by comparing what Colbert does to Jedi's boorish attention whoring.

Don't be so serious. It's a message board.

Go look at some porn and relax.

Gotcha, so in other words you're completely full of shit. Otherwise you'd actually know that I'm asking for something completely harmless and wouldn't in any way be divulging some super secret Jedi betting method.

Here's the deal. If you place $750 on the Rams taking the -13.5, you only do that on a straight line bet. As long as the rams don't lose by more than 14 or simply win, you get winnings at a 1:1.1 ratio. Meaning you wager $11 to win $10.

In other words, your bet of $750 has a max payout of +$675. You give them $750, they give you $1,425 (minus their percentage) back after the win.

So your claim of winning over $2K+ sounds like BS.

Now if you place a $750 money line bet on the Rams to win outright, there has to be money lines. And with NO +14, the money line for them was -950 and with Rams -14 the money line was +675. So at -13.5 which is where you say you got your bet in, the Rams would be around +650 (which is 7:1 odds). And if you toss those figures into any betting calculator, the payout would be +$4,875. You give them $750, they give you $5,625 (minus their percentage) back after the win.

Now the fact that you clearly have no idea what a money line bet is and thought you were being clever by dodging the simple question about money lines, plus the only thing you mentioned was the -13.5 which doesn't even play into a money line bet, it's obvious you didn't make a money line bet.

So your claim of making $2k+ on a straight line bet is way too much and you didn't make a money line bet, which means you're completely full of shit and lieing.

Attention whore needs attention, eh?

You thought I was being serious? Shit, I don't believe 80% of what I type. You obviously don't get my brilliantly offbeat sense of humor.
