Please stop trying those crazy, multiple sided plays in the final seconds. They result in unnecessary heartbreak.
From: Your loyal fans in the gaming community.
The latest example of an NFL team desperately trying to sideline for a miracle touchdown, only to see the team with the leading score again and crushing the hopes of some bettors, came in the Miami Dolphins 11-6 win over the New York Jets on Sunday.
Welcome to the world of crazy wins and bad beats in sports betting.
Each week, we’ll recap the gambles that had some people cashing in and others tearing up their tickets in frustration. To paraphrase famed broadcaster Al Michaels, “those plays are meaningful to some.”
Let’s dive into this week’s madness!
“It’s a great day to be a Dolphin” – Skylar Thompson secured the playoff spot after beating the Jets
‘It’s a great day to be a Dolphin’ — Skylar Thompson on securing playoff spot after beating the Jets
Miami Dolphins’ Skylar Thompson told FOX NFL reporter Pam Oliver how much it means to reach this point after earning a win. This may interest you : Top 10 sports stories of 2022.
The favored Dolphins (-3.5 at FOX Bet) had trouble with New York as Jets fans cashed in for most of the game, even after Miami’s Jason Sanders kicked a 50-yard field goal to give the Fins a 9-6 lead with 18 seconds. to go
“What can go wrong?” is a phrase punters don’t like to hear.
After a touchdown, the Jets threw two incompletions and faced a third down with five seconds to go. Jets supporters (+3.5) were five seconds from cashing in.
Here’s the description on the official NFL site of what happened next:
(Shotgun) J.Flacco pass short left to G.Wilson to NYJ 12 for -13 yards. Onside to J.Flacco to NYJ 9 for -3 yards. Onside to E.Moore to NYJ 5 for -4 yards. FUMBLES, fumbled at NYJ 5, recovered by NYJ-G.Wilson at NYJ -1. G.Wilson tackled in End Zone, SAFETY.
Confused? Can’t you believe it? See the pain suffered by Jets bettors themselves:
The safety resulted in one of the most brutal bad beats of the season for NFL bettors.
One particular gambler lost a huge payday because of the Jets’ result ($50 bet would pay $2,105 profit).
More bad beats for Jets bettors: Note in the description of the final play above that New York quarterback Garrett Wilson was credited with a 13-yard loss.
Wilson finished with 89 receiving yards, which was more agony to support bettors who backed Wilson to finish with at least 100 receiving yards.
You have to give Houston credit as the Texans (3-13-1) battled to the end in their third straight losing season.
After Indianapolis kicked a field goal to expand its lead to 31-24 with 3:33 to go, Colts moneyline bettors (-149 at FOX Bet, bet $10 to win $16.71 total) and those who placed the +3 were in decent shape.
They were in even better shape when Houston faced a fourth-and-12 near midfield with 1:48 to go.
But Houston QB Davis Mills completed a 30-yard pass down the sideline to Brandin Cooks that was confirmed on replay.
Those bettors continued to feel positive when Davis was sacked, and the Texans faced fourth-and-20 from the Indianapolis 28 with 58 seconds to go.
Jordan Akins caught Davis’ pass for a 28-yard TD, cutting the Colts’ lead to 31-30.
The final indignity to Colts moneyline bettors was, instead of kicking the extra point and playing for overtime, Houston went for two and the win. Davis then connected with Akins again when Houston pulled out the 32-31 victory.
Is Nyheim Hines your favorite NFL player?
Hines is now for at least one punter after he returned two kicks for touchdowns in the Buffalo Bills’ 35-23 win over the New England Patriots on Sunday.
How rare is it for a player to return two kicks for touchdowns in the NFL? The previous player to do so was Leon Washington of the Jets…
The Bills executed a little-noticed trade on Nov. 1, sending running back Zack Moss and a conditional sixth-round pick to the Colts for running back/kick returner Hines.
Hines was the NFL’s breakout performer on the final weekend, returning kicks 101 and 96 yards for touchdowns against the Patriots.
How much of a long shot was Hines’ performance? New England has allowed two kickoff returns for touchdowns in its previous 227 games — that’s more than 14 seasons.
Hines’ performance paid off for at least one bettor, who splashed $25 on the Bills’ defense/special teams scoring two TDs against the Patriots.
The bet was placed at +5000, which paid the gambler a tidy profit of $1,250.
Team in teal pays in green
The list of people celebrating Jacksonville capturing the AFC South Division title were the players and members of the organization, their fans, the city of Jacksonville … and one bettor who splashed out a huge amount of money for the team in teal.
This bettor put $50,000 on the Jaguars to win the AFC South.
A little background: The Jaguars were 1-15 in 2020, which netted them the top pick in the draft — quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Jacksonville then went 3-14 in 2021 after starting 0-5 and then losing eight in a row.
None of that dissuaded the bettor, who dumped his money on Jacksonville. The Jaguars responded by starting the season 2–6 after a five-game losing streak and were 4–8 in early December.
The Jags finished the regular season by winning five in a row, including Saturday’s 20-16 win over the Tennessee Titans, to claim the division with a 9-8 record.
That record was pretty good for this bettor, who collected a $375,000 profit.
Bettors on the under 26.5 combined first-half points in the Kansas City Chiefs-Las Vegas Raiders game Saturday nervously counted the seconds after Kansas City completed an 11-play, 98-yard drive to take a 21-3 lead with under. minute to go in the second quarter.
Before we go any further, here’s the smart, original play the Chiefs ran that resulted in a touchdown that was wiped out by a holding penalty. The play is called “snow globe”, and it didn’t count in the points tally but will live on in our memories.
Despite the penalty, Kadarius Toney scored on the next play on an 11-yard run to make it a combined 24 points with 49 seconds to go.
As they say, every second counts.
Raiders quarterback Jarrett Stidham was sacked and fumbled, and Kansas City defensive end George Karlaftis recovered at the Vegas 30 with nine seconds left until halftime.
Harrison Butker kicked a 44-yard field goal on the final play of the quarter to make it 24-3.
Running back Ronald Jones hasn’t seen much action in his first season in Kansas City, with seven carries for 25 yards and no scores in four games entering the weekend.
But bettors who had the foresight to back Jones to score a touchdown against the Raiders celebrated to the tune of +1200 (bet $10 to win $130 total) when Jones scored on a 2-yard run on the first play of the second quarter.
Here, at least one bettor has put down a decent amount of change on Jones scoring a TD. Cha-ching!
Most bettors think of running back Derrick Henry when it comes to scoring touchdowns for the Titans.
Did you have Tennessee rookie tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo score the first TD in the Titans-Jaguars game?
Okonkwo caught a TD pass with 5:32 left in the second quarter for the first TD of the game.
One bettor cashed in at +3000 to the tune of $1500 profit! Not bad for a $50 investment.
Tennessee fans were disappointed to see the season end, but at least one bettor made a nice profit from the 20-16 loss as the Titans (+7.5 points) covered.
The bettor won the payout when Tennessee led for the first 57:09 of the game. As bettors like to say, “It’s better to cover as a bettor than to lose on the money line.”
Travis Kelce is a touchdown machine with 69 career TDs, including a career-high 12 this season.
However, Kelce is in a terminal drought, failing to score a TD in his previous five games before Saturday.
Kelce (-160 to score ever TD, bet $10 to win $16.25 total) caught a pass near the goal line and came this close to ending his TD drought. Make it six games in a row without a touchdown.
Kelce and the Chiefs got a nice prize anyway – the top seed in the AFC and a first-round bye in the playoffs with the 31-13 win over the Raiders.
You know who is benefiting from Kelce’s TD drought? The books.
Stay tuned for more of the madness!
