Bet the Mortgage: Week 13, 2016

Bet the Mortgage: Week 13, 2016

After a horrid start, Tony is now starting to talk about getting back to even someday. Andy is … wallowing in a little up, a little down. Boring.

Tony’s 3-1 mark was one gutty pick away from being an undefeated week. Andy was let down by the hobbled Angry-Tom-Brady-to-Rob-Gronkowski duo. Will he move on or is he stuck on them?

Here are the standings:

  Last week Last week $ Overall Overall $ Total Bank
Tony 3-1 +$2,628 19-28-1 -$2,796 $7,204
Andy 1-3 – $1,991 20-26-2 +$2,919 $12,919

 

It’s week 13. This has gone fast. Only five more weeks of this crap, err, I mean these bets to go… here’s another blind shot in the dark: (more…)

Bet the Mortgage: Week 12, 2016

Andy just about blew his entire winnings for the season last week betting on the road favorite Patriots as they went out to the Bay to play San Francisco. New England pulled off a push, however, saving him from himself.

The tie put him at 2-1-1 for the week, a game better than Tony, who took a chance on the respective defenses of Arizona and Minnesota. While that let him down, he did hit the Bucs’ upset against Kansas City, keeping his bank for the week at a manageable loss.

Here are the standings:

Last week Last week $ Overall Overall $ Total Bank
Tony 1-2-1 – $625 16-27-1 – $5,424 $4,576
Andy 2-1-1 + $852 19-23-2 + $4,910 $14,910

Bet the Mortgage: Week 11, 2016

We were due to cool off a bit. And we did. But not disastrously. Both of us hit our money line upset bet, so while we lost hypothetical money, we didn’t tank completely.

Both of us were 1-3.

Better things ahead, hopefully.

  Last week Last week $ Overall Overall $ Total bankroll
Tony 1-3 -$1,010 15-25 -$4,799 $5,201
Andy 1-3 -$709 17-22-1 $4,058 $14,058

Some lopsided games on the docket this week as we try to rebound. Here are our bets.

Andy: I was worried about last week. I’ve been living on the Patriots and they had a tough one. I’m confident at least the Patriots will get things back on track. (more…)

Bet the Mortgage: Week 9, 2016

All of a sudden Tony is on fire.

After a year-and—a-half of losing his hypothetical shorts, he’s hit six of his last eight bets and won back more than half of the bankroll he had almost entirely lost.

Andy keeps humming along, too, at a nice, slow rate of profit.

Here are the standings after week 8:

  Last week Last week $ Overall Overall $ Total bankroll
Tony 3-1 +$2,521 12-20 -$4,368 $5,632
Andy 2-2 +$1,250 14-17-1 +$4,707 $14,707
