So you know they are cursed now. Just have to watch and see!

It looks like the curse isn't powerful enough.   The Bengals nearly came back in the second half and had several chances to take it back but the penalties killed them in the last minute or so.

Well played to the Chiefs' special teams though making a big difference in the last possession making Mahomes' job much easier as they got the ball down to the 50 yard line and as usual Mahomes and the Chiefs pushed it within FG range.

Yeah he did dodge a bullet for that big bet it came down to a field goal with 8 seconds left on the clock so you know Drake was sweating at the end.
It looked as if it was going into over time but that 15 yard penalty did them in. That was an unnecessary foul to put on Mahomes after the run because he was clearing out of bounds.

So it will be Eagles vs Chiefs in the big game in a couple of weeks!
Bring on Super Bowl LVII because you know there will be even bigger bets than Drake's for that one!
Wonder which team he will bet on. Back the same team that won inwhich got him to the road there?

Long time football quarterback Tom Brady says he has retired. Think this is for real as the 45 year old has been through alot during the past year while having his personal life take a back seat to his role in the NFL and the whole FTX debacle has taken a toil on his way of playing.
It is probably for the best going out as all the noise outside of the game had affected his performance.
Here is him announcing it on his instagram and what his ex-wife said about this retirement:

I agree, it might be unfortunate for him to go out on a bad note but it's better to take a step out of the league. On the other hand, I wouldn't be surprised if he comes back temporarily in the future since a lot of players and QBs are getting injured.

Also, there's a Superbowl promo, if anyone's interested in getting some free bets make sure to opt in.

With the Superbowl only a few days away with the party starting on Sunday, there has been some headlines (of course) before the event kicks-off.

None of those attention gathering cryptocurrency advertisements to appear in this year's broadcast.
So they plan on releasing some advertisements in their place with commercials related to video games and movie releases.
With some being shown on a mainstream media news outlet in America:

With the Big Game beginning in six and a half hours from now there is alot of hype for everything about it including the ever entertaining half-time show.
The commercials for the Super bowl are available to view online and some are good ones that will be only be seen live during the match.

There was some news that I heard last night that the common thing and an ongoing theme with this event which was going on:
The Drake bet

The celebrity made a rather big bet on Kansas City in multiple different markets.
Those can be viewed here in the story that broke a few days ago:
Drake's 'psychotic' Super Bowl bets, explained: How much money can rapper win, lose on the Chiefs?

Will it end up like so many of his bets in the past where those who bet on a Chiefs win will look like this by the end of Super Bowl LVII?

I am with Drake as far as Chiefs ML. I put a small wager on that myself last night. Eagles have a great record, but they hit the lottery on schedule this year and barely played any winning teams. Chiefs had a much tougher schedule and the better coach and qb.

I haven’t followed the season close enough to know how true this is or not, but as a casual fan that watches the highlights on sportscenter between hearing about my basketball games, it seems like the Eagles have been quite a bit better this year than their opponents. I haven’t seen the Chiefs be too impressive, so I gotta go with Philly on this. Doesn’t effect me either way, but I’ll be watching.

[ralle14]

Tbh i'd go with the Eagles if i'm picking between these two teams but I would go with an under bet here as that would be the best bet after seeing their games end up hitting the under a few weeks back. The Chiefs might have a concerning defense but I still think both teams won't go over 25+ points as the Eagles usually lose their steam once the second half starts. If it's going to be a tight game i'd expect the scoreline to end around 21-24 so with that said i've placed my bet on the under 51.5 with boosted odds.

[OgNasty]

What a game. The first half went about as I’d expected the game to go. That second half thought… The Chiefs were possessed. They weren’t going to let this one get away from them. Their offense was scoring every time they touched the ball. Can’t take anything away from them. The Chiefs went out and performed and won the game. No controversy, just good football. Until next year…

I pretty much figured game was over at halftime with the Eagles up 10 and Mahomes limping off the field. What happened the 2nd half was just amazing. The Chiefs came out with a solid game plan and executed. If i'm the Eagles, i'd be sad I lost, but holy shit would I be looking forward to next year. You cannot play any better then that really.

I agree. Although one thing I didn’t consider was that Jim Cramer is an Eagles fan. I should’ve known better.

Congratulations to the NFL champion team! I don't watch NFL games, but I think it's a very nice and entertaining game. People on social media are saying that the Chiefs showed an incredible level of sportsmanship and tenacity to win their LVII championship. Congrats Chiefs fans! Your team is the NFL champion! Let's celebrate this incredible achievement!

Think they mentioned on one of those entertainment media shows that he won $3.5 million from all those bets placed.
Knew he won the ML with the Kansas City win but the others such as the 1st TD were losses.

I had the exact opposite and was going for the over all because of the promotion to get a freebet for each touchdown scored by Sportsbet.
Even managed to place a bet before it started for one of the SB Specials offered at 6.00x for both teams to score over 3.5 touchdowns in each half which landed very easily.

Very good Superbowl even though it wasn't how I thought it would have ended.

Was a really good game.  Some might like to say there's a litter controversy with the holding call late in the game, but even the defender admitted that he held him, so there shouldn't be any controversy, and you're right..Chiefs won fair and square.  I put my money on Mahomes.  The way I see it, I used to get burned pretty much every time I bet against Brady, I feel the same about Mahomes going  forward. The man is too unbelievably good. ( and the Bears could have drafted him  )

Congrats on hitting the specials, after the first half I already counted my bet as a loss but I also had the same thought and found the game entertaining regardless because of how competitive it was from start to finish.

Yup, you could never count them out until it's over and even if Mahomes isn't at his best condition.

The NFL season is coming with people buzzing about it right the first preseason game begins tomorrow.

Had a free play and thought i could come with something for tonight's game.

Kelce has been ruled out and won't play, hopefully that won't affect Chiefs' passing game too much, as Mahomes has had three or more passing touchdowns in each of his past Week 1 games.

Expect Monty to score a TD, he's likely to assume J. Williams' role from last year, specifically the goal line work, as he's the bigger back. With C. Jones out, i see both him and J. Gibbs having a solid game.

It would be great if Pacheco could get me more than the yards listed above, as i drafted him in multiple ff leagues.

Anyway, it should be a good one...

[ralle14]

We are back i'm siding with the Lions to test the Chiefs' defense and expect them to put up at least three TDs and a field goal.

I also added an alternate handicap as a small boost to the bet builder because I know the Chiefs aren't great at covering spreads. The team total is still missing from the main markets and there's no other option aside from going through the bet builder.
