@BayRaider where are you getting that info? 

vegas insider has 73% of the money on the packers plus the points. 67% for chiefs laying the 7.5. Is that just the number of tickets? 

I am very surprised that 81% of the money is on the niners/packers over (according to vegas insider). that seems very lopsided for a game featuring an extremely dominant defense and a strong run game.

Using both Action Network and The Spread. Never heard of Vegas Insider.

Both have exact same thing.

Also easy to lose money if you don't know what you are doing. Those obviously hit but those types of bets seem like they are designed for the public to lose. (I get that's the whole point of every casino, but that's to a lesser degree than these parlay player props they are trying to lure you into playing by having them +whatever) 

When you stop trying to hit the moon with every bet you make, it's a lot easier to win. You want the bet slip that cashes, not the prayer that would make you rich if you get lucky. 

With that being said, I'm happy you hit this one lol 

I am only making two bets this weekend. The over in the KC TEN game is one. I'll leave the other one unsaid but you might be able to guess 

I think it really depends on how you view gambling and sports bets in general. Completely agree the smartest was to play is straight bets and incremental growth of your bankroll.

I view this as more of entertainment or like playing the lottery. If you went to the movies it would cost you 16$ for 2 hours of entertainment. This is roughly $20 for atleast 4 hours of entertainment. Win or lose, I got my moneys worth.

OR it's like playing the lottery. People pay $5-$10 to play the lottery everyday and it lasts 10 seconds. I throw in a 9 team player prop TD parlay for 5$ to win $30k and I'm at the edge of my seat for atleast the 1 o'clock games. I don't expect to win, but I don't lose too much either.

Three weeks ago I almost hit a 4team player prop parlay (Justice Hill TD,Derrick HenryTD+Tannnhill 2TD+AJ Brown TD, Zeke TD+Cowboys win, and Wentz + Daniel Jones Over 300 yards passing)$10-->$7324.69

Missed it by 11 yards friggin Carson Wentz. Point is, I had the dog in a headlock for 4 hours and felt like I got my 10$ worth.

A rush of bets came in on Packers. Here is the Public this week:

Spread Only:

49ers 54%
Packers 46%
 

You also have a huge amount on the Packer ML. 
 

Chiefs/Titans, Spread Only:

Chiefs 62%
Titans 38%
 

I said Titans + 7 1/2 and 49ers -7 back on Tuesday which is looking even better now. Those two bets winning would make Vegas a ton of money.

Local sports radio had the Vegas guys on all the time from places like Westgate, William hill, etc and they usually talk about where the money is for them. I'll have to make it a point to remember to try and listen and say what they say for local Vegas

The reason the ratio ( 81%) is so lopsided on the Packer/9er moneyline is that very few are betting on SF to win -  because it doesn't pay very well.
You'd have to bet $350 to win $100 and that's not very appealing to the smart bettors.
It is NOT a measure of who the public or the wise guys think will win the game

Unless you're a sucker for VegasDave.... but then again, that disqualifies you from the bolded statement.

A look at parleys might show how much ppl really think about the 49ers/Pack game.  I'm pretty sure there are very few GB ML bets there.

The game total has opened at 53. I definitely want the over, but do I wait to see how the line moves? I think if anything it goes up.

The over is where I would lean, and I probably wouldn't wait on that. I think it's light

OVER 53 and 49ers -7 

2-0! Swept the weekend again! Third time I've done that in this thread!! 

 

I actually ended up playing a third bet: 

https://ibb.co/gj209gS 

+850! RAHEEM THE DREAM. He went for 140+ when the niners played the Packers last year on MNF, so I felt like this was great value. 

Funny thing is the system glitched and that was the max bet. For some reason it wouldn't let me play to win an even 1k, so it forced me to do 999.94 which is just 49.999 backwards. Felt like a good omen. Didn't play any other props either 

This is amazing

Nice. As bad as it may sound, it looks like Coleman going down with an injury played in your favor.
