Q&A with Michael

Both brand names of Football (college and the NFL) are my favorites to wager on, particularly on Saturday and Sunday afternoons when there are video games playing simultaneously. I take pleasure in live wagering one of the most and enjoy trying to find edges while the odds and scores are altering.

The develop to the Super Bowl is the very best, with the release of novelty props, including Halftime Show markets, which have been especially lucrative for me for many years. But for live betting, the very first two weeks of the March Madness competition are a gambler's dream.

Competitive chances, expansive live wagering and futures markets, and ease of withdrawal.

Mike's memories

Long odds

Searching for value and a long-shot play for Super Bowl LIII MVP, I settled on Julian Edelman at +4000 odds, and I'm happy I did. It was the many fun I had seeing the Patriots in years.

♂ Tough break

I've since offered up wagering on awards markets. If Damar Hamlin can't win Comeback Player of the Year after what he went through, and Kyle Shanahan can fall short of Coach of the Year despite utilizing three QBs to a 13-4 record, I desire no part of wagering on what a collection of citizens will think.
