2 River non-Bet Hands

[GrunchCan]

I felt dirty not betting the river in these 2 hands. Should I have bet?

Hand 1:

My opponent here is passive post-flop, and seems to take odds he shouldn't.

Hand 2:

I felt especially dirty on this one, since ever sign pointed toward my opponent drawing to something that never came. Bet something hoping for a call here?
