I don’t think there are great spots in all star game worthy of putting anything serious in but if you want to be entertained while watching I don’t hate betting small on over. Also kind of like Lamelo Ball over 7.5. He has something to prove in his first all star game.Quote:

Leafs @ Montreal Canadiens - Time of First Score - 00:00-09:59 -150
Montreal 9-1 L10
Toronto 8-2 L10
Running across board with nba 1q unders today. First games after all star break and this is the annual tradition. Lets hope they play slower and miss a bunch of shots in 1q
1q unders went 4-3 today
Lakers/Clippers under 221.5
Lebron is playing, but was questionable. A few minutes away from start.
Had to sweat possible OT, but Lebron bricked and I win.Quote:

Not much handicapping gold lately, eh?
I'll do a little handicapping, though these games start within 10 minutes.
Sacramento -5.5 at OKC
Miluwakee vs. Charlotte - Under 238
That is your recap of the game? Your prolonged exposure to this sport has inured you to the point you find this crap normal and unworthy of mention.Quote:

I tuned into the end of the game myself for reasons I cannot recall now. Without exaggeration, it took 15 minutes to play 10 seconds. . I heard the play by play guys call out the time. There were two video reviews which went on FOREVER. There was a challenge of action on the court that was not called by the ref - LeBron's foot out of bounds. Television timeout followed by a team time out.
What a joke.
I think I heard it was half an hour to score 10 points or some such bullshit.
How can you bet that garbage? Flipping coins
Speaking of flipping coins, my under 238 on Milwaukee is coming down to the wire.
234 with 32 seconds left, in a blowout game. Thanasis is in the game... Giannis isn't.
Now 236 with 23 left. Hopefully Milwaukee holds the ball.
ESPN says it's final, so I guess the did hold the ball.
Phew.
Sac easily covered (won by 21) after a lackluster first half, so I went 2-0.
That's 4 wins in a row for me, in what is otherwise an awful NBA betting season.
Anyone notice how many blowout games there are? Today the Raptors won by 36, the Bucks won by 24, and the Kings won by 21. Only one game out of 7 was decided by fewer than 13 points.
Believe it or not, I think betting alt lines on favorites might be the way to go for now.
Last minute, but this goes along with the theme of blowouts against bad teams:
Clippers -7 at Houston
Clippers ML
I’ve been suppressing the urge to fire Lakers +6 all day I have no idea why? Clearly others have the same urge as it’s down to 5.5 at my book. There isn’t any logical reason to bet them. They stink. It just feels like a game they kind of have to win. Both teams on a little spiral. I’m going to try to fight off the urge.
If you look at their roster of players who are actually playing from top to bottom and compare it to every other non tanking team it just isn't competitive. Doesn't matter how much they need to win. They only have 1 non-injured player on their team (Lebron) who would start on a competent basketball team. Most of their roster wouldn't even see any playing time on a competent team. It is what it is.Quote:

I don’t own enough televisions. Hopefully I can correct that compliments of the NHL

Calgary red hot, especially at home. Very appealing despite the price.
LA extremely good on the road, +170 is appealing. Funny how LA and Boston are both very good on the road.
Getting a little frisky with Kings over Bruins. Ullmark in net. Huge difference be Swayman who I saw in net initially. Don’t think mkt caught up w/ goalie change.Quote:

I’m half unit pregame today
Lotta of big totals and heavy favorites but this is a tough card. I’m gonna use my ammo live Calgary / Toronto / Avs. Those 7’s will disappear quick. If a team scores in the first minute - oh well, we move on.
I’ve been doing totals off chrisotto but that’s kinda a mature market now. The birth of the 2’s. Saw a 2 juiced today, ughhhh
I also have
Sabres team total over 2½ -110. Florida Knight fade a little bit n
I wanna take CBJ over Toronto of course. Haven’t done it yet. Had a lot of success hating Leafs. God they suck. Marner for Wedgewood trade lol.
I got some stuff last night that isn’t relevant now
Parlay +126
Calgary Flames -178 for Game
Hockey - 73 Toronto Maple Leafs/Columbus Blue Jackets over 6½ -130 for Game
I will look back on 2022 and rue allowing my hard on for the NBA to keep me from making some money. I think with very little effort I could partake of the huge beat downs and some of the streaks.
I watched a little of Clippers and Knicks toward the end of the game last night & that was a classic. I saw -7 live and then Knicks just ran away for whatever reason. Something like -23 at the end. Didn’t bet it but just watched as an exercise.
Following load management (I’m being kind) would be profitable. The local beat writers and the YouTube kids who do stuff about their individual team. Curry and Thompson has breached a whole new level. This is what is going to happen with the MLB.
I just don’t like the NBA enough to read about it.
Now if there was a guy…….
