The Degenerate Gambler: Week 3 Edition So here we are... week three White Craig Mager Jerseys , and it appears that we have slept in a bit. I suppose. Either way, this is as good a time as any to go over the basics that we’ll continue throughout the season.. or until the bankroll is gone.This week, and hopefully all weeks, the Degenerate Gambler will bet $100 on the best picks of the week. Most odds will be based on popular internet sites, and the exact odds will be noted that were chosen.Disclaimer: The Degenerate Gambler does not condone you spending your hard earned money on poorly thought-out bets. Or even well-thought-out ones. But, hey, if you have cash to blow, here’s some food for thought!Week 449ers @ ChargersWager 1 Chargers Spread (-10.5):$50 [-105]Wager 2 Chargers 1st Half (23.5) $25 [-110]Wager 3 49ers (moneyline) $10 [+340]Wager 4 Total Over (46.5) $15 [-110] Highest possible win:$73.98Worst possible outcome:Skunked.Chargers win 10 Vs. 9 or less.Okay, so here’s the thinking here.This selection was made to give the uninitiated an idea about what lines are and how one might be able to ‘hedge’ their bets by betting both sides, at least to a point.As a general rule of thumb Craig Mager Jerseys 2019 , it is stupid to take bets that are mutually exclusive, unless you really enjoy the positive odds on each.[-105] means that the bet would net almost exactly what you bet.That’s good![+105] means that it would net a bit higher than your initial bet, but is generally a less-likely outcome.The bets that we see the Degenerate Gambler take this week means that he is buying into the Chargers’ likelyhood of winning. The 49ers are without their star QB, and there are injury concerns on either side. Taking a heavy spread at 10.5 points means that there will be a tall order for the Chargers, but if they are able to do that.. and score 23.5 points in the first half, DG will profit $45.35.Sweet!However, the Gabler is also hedging his bet, which isn’t really his style. If today’s match becomes an unexpected defensive slugfest, and, heavens, the 49ers come out on top White Denzel Perryman Jerseys , his $10 bet on the 49ers winning outright would mean that he’d be out about half of his investments. Nuts. What the Degenerate Gambler is really counting on is a high-scoring match, where the Chargers run up the score right out of the gate. If the Chargers win by two touchdowns, earn most of those points in the first half, and the 49ers are able to put together one or two scores, he’s hoping to cash in a $73.98 profit. That is the ceiling for these bets, as he can’t take home all four.It is worth noting that when the Chargers really begin to Charge, they like to score a lot of points (going back to 2017 and that Bills game. Remember that bloodbath?). The Gabler is pretty confident about these bets, but doesn’t want to go home skunked, so perhaps a 49ers moneyline bet with such a delicious positive take is a smart hedge after all.We’ll let you know how he does soon enough!-Jason “Odds and Ends” Michaels Your daily dose of Los Angeles Chargers news & notes from around the web."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections San Diego Chargers Daily LinksSan Diego Chargers NewsSan Diego Chargers OffseasonSan Diego Chargers HistorySan Diego Chargers HumorChargers Daily LinksLos Angeles Chargers Daily Links: How long has it been since the Chargers had a decent offensive line?New,28commentsYour daily dose of Los Angeles Chargers news & notes from around the web.PDTShareTweetShareShareLos Angeles Chargers Daily Links: How long has it been since the Chargers had a decent offensive line?Jake Roth-USA TODAY SportsChargers Scouting Report: Northern Illinois OT Max Scharping - Gavino BorquezFor some, Scharping needs a year under his belt to fight for a starting job Denzel Perryman Jerseys 2019 , but I believe he can try to earn it during Year 1 as a pro. Given the huge need at the right tackle position, Scharping has the ability to compete with Sam Tevi and beat him out for the starting role.Ranking all 32 NFL offensive lines by pass-blocking efficiency - Mark ChichesterIn 13 years of grading games, the Chargers have finished in the top half of this list just once. Once. And even that was back in 2006. The latest episode of the Chargers’ calamitous pass blocking culminated with the surrender of the league’s ninth-most sacks, sixth-most hits, and 11th-most hurries. The Chargers won’t have Philip Rivers forever, and the quicker they realize that, the better.25 five-round mock drafts for the Los Angeles Chargers - Tyler Schoon (slide show)Mock drafts are rarely accurate, but they do help provide an insight as to what kind of players will be available at each of the Chargers’ selections, as well as how the team can find ways to fill needs at different draft ranges depending on what was chosen before them. We did 25 mock drafts, five per format and five rounds each. Here’s what happened:Extra Points: AAF, Dundon White Hunter Henry Jerseys , Lock, Broncos - Andrew OrtenbergAccording to Pelissero, Lock will then head to Los Angeles and meet with the Chargers tomorrow. The Chargers sniffed around the top quarterbacks in last year’s class and are doing the same thing with this class, even though Philip Rivers just had his best season in years. If you believe the current reporting, the Chargers would likely have to trade up in the draft if they wanted to get Luck [sic].Draft Analysts Share Best Fits for Chargers, Dark-Horse Prospects and More - Chris Hayre“I’d recommend to anyone who likes scouting, or likes to watch these players, to go watch him against [defensive lineman] Quinnen Williams in that Alabama-Arkansas game this past season,” Renner said. “He did better than any offensive lineman I saw this season against him.”Social Media Information:BFTB Facebook Page: Click here to like our pageBFTB Twitter: Follow @BFTB_ChargersThe Lightning Round Twitter: Follow @Lightning_RoundThe Lightning Round Facebook: Click here to like our pageBFTB Manager: Richard Wade: Follow @RichardWade
