#Circa Survivor

Fourth-and-20: On Sunday, that down and distance not only determined which team receives the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft but also decided the largest survivor pool in Las Vegas, worth millions of dollars. Out of 6133 entries in Circa Survivor, only three were still active entering Week 18, each with a shot at the $6.113 million first prize in the…

On the lunar calendar, 2022 was the Year of the Tiger. On the sports betting calendar, it was the Year of Mattress Mack. It certainly didn't appear to be his year when it started. Houston furniture store owner Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale lost $6.1 million in January on Alabama to win the College Football Playoff and $9.5 million in February on…

If at least one big favorite falls, the sportsbooks typically have a good Sunday. The Dallas Cowboys, the biggest favorite of all this Sunday, were in serious jeopardy of taking a fall when Dak Prescott threw a late interception. The Cowboys, laying 17 points to the Texans, trailed 23-20 with 5:34 remaining. After Prescott was picked off, Houston…

Sunday was another exciting NFL in the Tuley's Takes home office - and out and about in the sportsbooks - though it was a little too chalky for my liking. As I'll recap below, faves went 11-1-1 SU and 9-4 ATS on the day. I lost my Best Bet on the Colts+10.5 at the Cowboys in the Sunday nighter as it looked like they were going to cover (and should…

Monday was a day full of recovering from a non-stop holiday weekend and handicapping the rest of next weekend's NFL Week 13 card and the college football conference championship games. And of course, Monday's always center around MNF. We do a weekly recap for VSiN.com, so here's my Monday Night Football recap as we give the betting perspective of…

Sunday was a roller-coaster ride in the Tuley's Takes home office, highlighted of course by following my Best Bets on the NFL Week 12 schedule. We ended up losing our stated Best Bet on the Texans+14 at the Dolphins, which we also used in VSiN's BetsGiving handicapping contest along with Under 47 in the same game. The side looked like a horrible…

Tuley: Saturday Best Bets, updated'takes' on full NFL Week 12 schedule Friday was spent recovering from Thanksgiving and enjoying another loaded day of sports betting action.Whether you like football or futbol or basketball or hockey, there was plenty of action to go around (see our recaps below).Unfortunately, it wasn't as profitable here in the…

Sunday was another successful day in the Tuley's Takes home office (and at Stadium Swim at Circa, where I took in the afternoon games and the Sunday nighter), especially as dogs kept barking in the NFL. We won our Best Bet of the day on the Panthers+13 at the Ravens as they lost 13-3. They seemingly tried everything to give away the cover (I was…

Sunday was a very long, but very exciting day in the Tuley's Take home office with wall-to-wall games starting here in Las Vegas at 6:30 a.m. PT until nearly 8:30 p.m. PT, at which time I prepared to go on VSiN's The Greg Peterson Experience" to recap all of the NFL Week 10 action and give some early picks for NFL Week 11. And we loved every minute…

Sunday was another busy day in and out of the Tuley's Takes home office, made worth all the hard work this past week as underdogs continued to bark in the NFL. After getting a precious extra hour of sleep thanks to turning the clocks back, I was up early Sunday to get down to VSiN's studio at Circa to appear with Uncle Brent Musburger on his…

Monday was your typical Halloween in the Tuley's Takes Haunted home office as we juggled our favorite holiday with our sports betting duties around Monday Night Football. Don't tell anyone, but I was actually a little relieved that Game 3 of the World Series was rained out even though it left me without a Best Bet on the day, making it easier to…

Monday was a bit different than usual in the Tuley's Takes home office. After going non-stop every weekend with wall-to-wall football on Saturdays and Sundays, my Mondays are usually spent catching up on some sleep and doing some errands/chores around the house and getting a head-start on my big Wednesday column (which used to run in "Point Spread…

Sunday was another action-filled day in the Tuley's Takes home office, especially as dogs kept barking in the NFL. Dogs went 8-5 ATS on Sunday with 1 pick-'em (9-5 ATS so far in Week 5, including the Colts' upset of the Broncos on Thursday Night Football), and we went 5-2 ATS with our Best Bets that we listed in the Sunday version of this column…

Every week on VSiN's morning show "Follow The Money" , Mike Palm gives an entertaining recap of the five most interesting things in sports betting and culture. Here's that segment: 5. Insane in the Tumpane Last Tuesday night at Citi Field in New York, the Mets took on the Marlins in a game that could be circled as one of the reasons they blew the…

Monday was a long day in and out of the Tuley's Takes home office, but ultimately worth our time. I did some editing for VSiN's upcoming NBA Betting Guide and did a lot of handicapping/research on next weekend's college and pro football cards. I also had to take my son, Maddux to his Las Vegas Youth Orchestra practice and wait for him to finish.Of…

Sunday was another thrilling day of pro football with a little bit of MLB mixed in. It started extra early in the Tuley's Takes home office with the Vikings-Saints game from London starting at 6:30 a.m. PT here in Vegas. And it didn't end for yours truly until filing this column early Monday morning. In between, we experienced another…

Monday was a rather enjoyable day in the Tuley's Takes home office after having such a successful NFL Sunday. I took a nap to catch up on some sleep from burning the proverbial midnight oil all weekend long and got to work on handicapping next weekend's games for our big Wednesday column when I give my "takes" on the full NFL card. I also had to…

Monday was mostly spent handicapping next week's college and pro football cards in the Tuley's Takes home office, though I also had to duck out for a few hours to take my son to Las Vegas Youth Orchestra practice, which was held Monday even though Las Vegas kids didn't have school on Monday (teacher institute day or something). I would like to say…
