Detroit covered the 3.5-point spread, won the game and also contributed heavily to some popular player props cashing in the Bay Area.

Nine players scored a touchdown on that Monday night, a list that included Jahmyr Gibbs, Jameson Williams, Sam LaPorta and Amon-Ra St. Brown for the Lions. The 49ers didn’t feature as many popular names but Ricky Pearsall, a popular long shot, found the end zone in addition to Deebo Samuel and Brock Purdy.

Player props have become especially popular in online communities, with alternate lines and touchdowns being popular ways for bettors to turn small sums of money into big windfalls of cash.

Flutter Entertainment released a profit warning this week, lowering its revenue guidance by $390 million due to what it called “a period of very unfavorable US sports results.”

The company said that the poor results for them came during November and December, primarily because of “NFL Parlay and Same Game Parlay outcomes,” adding that the season, “has been the most customer friendly since the launch of online sports betting with the highest rate of favorites winning in nearly 20 years.”

Ah, didn’t know it had to be gambling. But we could develop some odds on how big a Kardashian can make its butt. Whatever it is, I’m taking the over.

It doesn’t need to be I was just curious on what the strategy might be. I’d be cautious about taking the under.

Betting was hot in Nov/Dec? Opposite for me. Killed Sep/Oct, sucked December.

We used to watch Univision regularly in college. It was the only show we watched regularly other than sports and the Simpsons.
